The objective of the monitoring was to describe the reef fish communities and to establish whether populations within the marine reserve were demonstrating any changes in abundance or size that could be attributable to the removal of fishing pressure. The underwater visual census method was used to survey the four lo- cations (marine reserve and three non-reserve locations). It was found that all four locations were characterised by moderate densities of spot- ties, scarlet wrasse and reef-associated planktivores such as blue maomao, sweep and butterfly perch.

  • A Checklist of Fishes of the Aldermen Islands, North-Eastern New Zealand, with Additions to the Fishes of Red Mercury Island
    13 A CHECKLIST OF FISHES OF THE ALDERMEN ISLANDS, NORTH-EASTERN NEW ZEALAND, WITH ADDITIONS TO THE FISHES OF RED MERCURY ISLAND by Roger V. Grace* SUMMARY Sixty-five species of marine fishes are listed for the Aldermen Islands, and additions made to an earlier list for Red Mercury Island (Grace, 1972), 35 km to the north. Warm water affinities of the faunas are briefly discussed. INTRODUCTION During recent years, and particularly the last four years, over 30 species of fishes have been added to the New Zealand fish fauna through observation by divers, mainly at the Poor Knights Islands (Russell, 1971; Stephenson, 1970, 1971; Doak, 1972; Whitley, 1968). A high proportion of the fishes of northern New Zealand have strong sub-tropical affinities (Moreland, 1958), and there is considerable evidence (Doak, 1972) to suggest that many of the recently discovered species are new arrivals from tropical and subtropical areas. These fishes probably arrive as eggs or larvae, carried by favourable ocean currents, and find suitable habitats for their development at the Poor Knights Islands, where the warm currents that transported the young fish or eggs maintain a water temperature higher than that on the adjacent coast, or islands to the south. Unless these fishes are able to establish breeding populations in New Zealand waters, they are likely to be merely transient. If they become established, they may begin to spread and colonise other off-shore islands and the coast. In order to monitor any spreading of new arrivals, or die-off due to inability to breed, it is desirable to compile a series of fish lists, as complete as possible, for the off-shore islands of the north-east coast of New Zealand.

  • Catch and Effort Data
    Chapter 11: The Inland Waters River Fishery Information System CHAPTER 11: INLAND WATERS RIVER FISHERY INFORMATION SYSTEM 11.1 Background The Inland Waters River fishery is a multi-species, multi-gear fishery encompassing the South Australian sector of the River Murray and its backwaters (Map 11.1). Historically, the fishery was based on harvesting Murray cod (Maccullochella peelii peelii), golden perch (Macquaria ambigua), and bony bream (Nematalosa erebi). The fishery was restructured in July 2003 to a non-native dominate fishery and the commercial fishing for significant native species is now prohibited. The fishery is now based predominantly on the taking European carp (Cyprinus carpio) and redfin perch (Perca fluviatilis). There are a total of 6 licence holders who operate within the fishery. Prior to the restructure 30 license holders fished the river, each with a designated reach. Up to December 2007 SARDI production tables hold in excess of 270,000 daily records. Data is held from 1984/85 to current and is continually being updated. Refer to Figure 11.3 for an entity relationship diagram of the inland waters system that encompasses the River Fishery.

  • The Biology and Ecology of Samson Fish Seriola Hippos
    The biology of Samson Fish Seriola hippos with emphasis on the sportfishery in Western Australia. By Andrew Jay Rowland This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University 2009 DECLARATION I declare that the information contained in this thesis is the result of my own research unless otherwise cited. ……………………………………………………. Andrew Jay Rowland 2 Abstract This thesis had two overriding aims. The first was to describe the biology of Samson Fish Seriola hippos and therefore extend the knowledge and understanding of the genus Seriola. The second was to uses these data to develop strategies to better manage the fishery and, if appropriate, develop catch-and-release protocols for the S. hippos sportfishery. Trends exhibited by marginal increment analysis in the opaque zones of sectioned S. hippos otoliths, together with an otolith of a recaptured calcein injected fish, demonstrated that these opaque zones represent annual features. Thus, as with some other members of the genus, the number of opaque zones in sectioned otoliths of S. hippos are appropriate for determining age and growth parameters of this species. Seriola hippos displayed similar growth trajectories to other members of the genus. Early growth in S. hippos is rapid with this species reaching minimum legal length for retention (MML) of 600mm TL within the second year of life. After the first 5 years of life growth rates of each sex differ, with females growing faster and reaching a larger size at age than males. Thus, by 10, 15 and 20 years of age, the predicted fork lengths (and weights) for females were 1088 (17 kg), 1221 (24 kg) and 1311 mm (30 kg), respectively, compared with 1035 (15 kg), 1124 (19 kg) and 1167 mm (21 kg), respectively for males.

  • A Checklist of Fishes from the Cavalli Islands, Northland, New Zealand
    TANE 25, 1979 A CHECKLIST OF FISHES FROM THE CAVALLI ISLANDS, NORTHLAND, NEW ZEALAND by Jon Nicholson 16 Gordon Craig Place, Algies Bay, Warkworth ABSTRACT During the course of 80 scuba dives over 10 days, 74 species of fish belonging to 33 families were observed around the Cavalli Islands off the north-east coast of New Zealand. These numbers exceed those given in checklists from other species-rich areas mainly because of the intensity of the survey. INTRODUCTION The Cavalli Islands are situated approximately 2km off the eastern coast of Northland, New Zealand, closer to the coast but further north than the Poor Knights Islands (Fig. 1). Their location makes them an interesting area to use when comparing the coastal fish population structure with the more diverse population, effected as it is by migrants from tropical seas, found in the off-shore islands of the Poor Knights group. In an earlier study (Willan el al 1979) a large number of fish species were found in the Matai Bay area on the eastern side of the Karikari Peninsula, an area further north than the Cavalli Islands, but on the mainland coast. This survey indicated that an isolated island situation may not be necessary for large species numbers to be present. The Cavalli Islands are separated from the coast and from each other by a series of passages of varying width. The topography of these islands lends itself to the formation of a wide variety of habitats. Some of these represent typical coastal underwater formations, while others, on the eastern side, are deep water drop-offs, more typical of the outer islands.
