In South Africa, stockfish Names of the Hakes is another name for Merluccius (Smith, 1954). Hake is used as a common name for DANIEL M. COHEN a number of kinds of fishes other than Merluccius. Among the Gadidae are six species of Urophycis from the western Atlantic (Bigelow and Most kinds of fishes do not have a species, all are known in English Schroeder, 1953; Bailey et a!., 1970): legal or official common name, and speaking countries as hake. chuss, red or squirrel hake; cirratus, common names in use for any particu­ Other Engl ish language names also Gulf hake; earlii, Carolina hake; lar species may vary from one region are used for Merluccius, the chief fioridanus, southem hake; regius, to another, from one group of users to being whiting.

  • Rockfish Populations Around Galiano Island Freedom to Swim: Research Component for Rockfish Recovery Project
    GALIANO CONSERVANCY ASSOCIATION Rockfish populations around Galiano Island Freedom to Swim: Research Component for Rockfish Recovery Project 2013 Rockfish populations around Galiano Island Page 2 of 18 Executive Summary Rockfish (Sebastes), of the Scorpionfish family, are unique to the Pacific Northwest. As of 2012 there are 8 species listed as threatened or of special concern by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). Canary, Quillback and Yellowmouth rockfish are listed as ‘threatened’; Rougheye Type I, Rougheye Type II, Darkblotched, Longspine Thornyhead, and Yelloweye (outside waters and inside waters populations) rockfish are listed as ‘special concern’. Both species of Rougheye and both populations of Yelloweye rockfish are also listed under the Species At Risk Act as ‘special concern’. These predatory fish can live at great depths, and tend to live very long lives of 80 or more years (Lamb and Edgell, 2010). These factors, when combined with their primarily territorial lifestyles, have made them particularly susceptible to overharvest. There is a strong need to protect these species with enforced no‐take marine protected areas, and we can only hope that recent conservation efforts will be enough to recover some of the most depleted populations (Lamb and Edgell, 2010; McConnell and Dinnel, 2002). In the late 1980s the commercial rockfish fishery boomed, which led to a series of management responses in the 1990s to attempt to recover the rapidly depleting stocks in BC (Yamanaka and Logan, 2010). This also occurred in the US as a direct result of pressure on the salmon stocks ‐ fishermen were urged to divert their attentions to bottom fish (McConnell and Dinnel, 2002).

    BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES, FISH COMMISSION. 225 B6.’REPORT ON ’ BLACK COD OF THJ3 NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN.* By JAMES G. SWAN. NAm.-The Anoplo$oma $fimbria is known in California as candle- fish, Spanish mackerel, grease-fish, &c. ; among the Makah Indians of Cape Flattery, Wash., as “ beshow,” and by the white residents at the ’ cape ;LR (4 black cod.” On Queen Charlotte’s Islands, British Columbia, it is called “coal-fish” by white settlers, and by the Baidah Indians: who reside on those islands, it is called “skil.” At Hnight’s Inlet, British Columbia, it is called “kwakewlth.” Each tribe or locality where it is taken has a local name for it, but it is generally ]mown as blqck cod. The scientific name, Anoploporna $fimbria, has been adopted. by Gill, Jordan & Gilbert, and most other writers, although a specimen taken ob Mount Saint Elias, Alaska, \vas named by Pallas Gadus jimbria (Prbc. U. S. Nat. Museum, 1881, vol. 4, p. 254), thus showing that its resemblancei to the cod was observed by that naturalist. The tern1 ‘c cod” is applied by fishermen and fish-dealers on the North Pacific coast to a variety of fish which are not related to the genus Gadus, and are iiot found in Atlantic maters. The Oplbiodo?z eloizgatus is called, in San Francisco, buffalo cod, green cod, blue cod, &c. At Uape Flattery the Makah Indiaus call it “tooshlrow.” The whites call it knltus cod or inferior to true cod. The different variotics of Sebastiahthys are known in the Victoria and San Francisco markets as rock cod, but do not re- semble the rock cod of New England in any manner, being more like the perch, having remarkable development of sharp bony spines and prickles.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

  • Fishes of the Pacific Coast of Canada
    PLATE V. Lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus). Two common shades of colour, illustrated on specimens about 30 inches long. PLATE VI. Blackbanded rockfish (Sebastodes nigrocinctus). Two common shades of colour, illustrated on a specimen 10 inches long. near Nootka but was not examined. In August, 1939, west of Cape St. James, Lat. 52° 49' N, Long. 1340 29' W, three specimens were obtained on a tuna lure and were recorded in 1940 by V. J. Samson. The albacore has been captured off the west coast of Vancouver Island in increasing numbers since 1939. The first large commercial catch was made in 1940. The abundance of the fish has proven to be rather variable in Canadian waters as it has off the California coast. This pelagic fish is distributed throughout all warm to temperate seas. Since no mature individuals have been taken anywhere along the Pacific coast of North America, it would seem that the albacore is a tropical fish whose young make extensive feeding migrations to distant regions and return to the tropics at the onset of maturity. The food consists of schooling small fishes such as anchovies, pilchards, herring, saunes, young mackerel and albacore, blue lanternfish (Tarle- tonbeania crenularis), as well as squid and zooplankton. It is a highly-prized sport and commercial fish and is taken with jigs made of bone, rags and feathers, towed behind boats. The commercial catch in Canadian waters is secured by trolling with bright red feather lures and is frozen for the most part, for subsequent canning. Fishermen sometimes refer to the albacore as the tuna or longfin tuna.

Supported research projects result in peer-reviewed publications in leading scientific journals. The Program works with the scientists to ensure that research results are delivered effectively to decision makers and the public, who can take action based on the findings. The program was established in 2004 by the Lenfest Foundation and is managed by the Pew Charitable Trusts (www.lenfestocean.org, Twitter handle: @LenfestOcean). The Institute for Ocean Conservation Science (IOCS) is part of the Stony Brook University School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. It is dedicated to advancing ocean conservation through science. IOCS conducts world-class scientific research that increases knowledge about critical threats to oceans and their inhabitants, provides the foundation for smarter ocean policy, and establishes new frameworks for improved ocean conservation.

This methodology deals with the large amount of zeros in survey data matrices by modelling the probability of catch and the amount of positive catch separately, and then integrating the two sub-models into a single catch rate model of abundance. Among the explanatory variables included in the models, the geographic areas occupied by fish assemblages, i.e., groups of persistent co- occurring species, explained most of the variability observed for horse mackerel and blue whiting, while depth was the most important factor for hake. Because of hake’s ubiquity on the Portuguese margin, models for this species were less parsimonious and explained a lower proportion of total variability compared with the other species.
