To study the life histories of these animals, and the ecology of their habitats, some scientists venture into the ocean on large research vessels, sometimes for extended periods of time. Others study water samples in a laboratory, or spend their days hip deep in marsh mud. Field work, which can be a long day sampling in a salt marsh or weeks spent at sea, requires physical strength and a positive attitude while covered with marsh Taking biological samples from Wreckfish, Polyprion americanus. Is it Difficult to Find a Job in Marine Science? Opportunities exist for well educated individuals in every branch of marine science.

  • Do You Know Your Catch?
    Do You Know Your Catch? One of the most commonly asked questions by anglers, at some point in time, is "What is it?" Knowing what you caught is extremely important for many reasons, including the reason that misidentification can lead to violations of fisheries regulations. This section is meant to guide the angler through thirty-six of Maine's most commonly encountered saltwater species. These fish are grouped into Families as listed in the American Fisheries Society publication, "Common and Scientific Names of Fishes." Arrangement of the fish identification section Common names: Other names used in various geographical locations to identify each species. Description: To properly identify your catch these commonly observed attributes can be used. Where found: Though fish often know no bounds, there are general locations where they most commonly may be found. Similar Gulf of Maine species: Here are listed other fish that resemble this species and may cause identification problems. Remarks: This includes life history, behavior, feeding habits and angling information. Records: The current Maine State Saltwater Angler Record (MSSAR)* and the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) records are listed. 1. fork length 7. dorsal fin 13. caudal peduncle 2. total length 8. pelvic fin 14. upper lobe of tail fin 3. snout 9. anal fin 15. gill cover 4. barbel 10. tail (caudal) fin 16. midline 5. pectoral fin 11. adipose fin 17. lateral line 6. ventral fin 12. caudal keel 18. finlets If you have any questions regarding recreational fishing or this species listed above please contact Bruce Joule.

  • Arctic Char Or Arctic Charr (Salvelinus
    SALVELINUS ALPINUS Arctic char or Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus ) is both a freshwater and saltwater fish in the Salmonidae family, native to Arctic, sub-Arctic and alpine lakes and coastal waters. No other freshwater fish is found as far north. It is one of the rarest fish species in Britain, found only in deep, cold, glacial lakes, mostly in Scotland, and is at risk from acidification. In other parts of its range, it is much more common, and is fished extensively. In Siberia, it is known as golets (from the Russian голец). Arctic char are closely related to both salmon and trout and has many characteristics of both. Individual char fish can weigh 20 lb (9 kilograms) or more with record sized fish having been taken by angling in Northern Canada. Generally, whole market sized fish are between 2 and 5 lb in weight (900 g and 2.3 kilograms). The flesh colour of char varies; it can range from a bright red to a pale pink. Arctic char farming Research aimed at determining the suitability of Arctic char as a cultured species has been ongoing since the late 1970s. The Canadian government's Freshwater Institute of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans at Winnipeg, Manitoba, and the Huntsman Marine Science Laboratory of New Brunswick, pioneered the early efforts in Canada. Arctic char is also farmed in Norway. Arctic char were first investigated because it was expected that they would have low optimum temperature requirements and would grow well at the cold water temperatures present in numerous areas of Canada.
