Ninety percent of the fish collection contains specimens collected from the Tohoku District during the period from 1930 to 1933 when natural environments of Japan were in good condition for various groups of fishes. The fish specimens from the Tohoku District were classified into 361 species/subspecies of 273 genera belonging to 131 families of 31 orders.

  • Current Fishery Activities and Levels of Radioactivity in Fisheries Products from Fukushima Prefecture
    Rep. Mar. Ecol. Res. Inst., No.22 (Supplement), 37-45, 2017 Special Report: “Radioactivity in the Marine Environment and in Fisheries Products during the Five Years after the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident” Current Fishery Activities and Levels of Radioactivity in Fisheries Products from Fukushima Prefecture Yoshiharu Nemoto*1§, Tsuneo Fujita*2, Masato Watanabe*1 and Kaoru Narita*2 Abstract: We surveyed the levels of radioactivity in marine organisms from Fukushima Prefecture, where the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident occurred in March of 2011. In June of 2012, fi shing trials were initiated for safe species to evaluate the commercial distribution of harvested fi sh. Over time, the number of targeted species, fi shing methods, and fi shing areas have increased, and in June of 2016 fi shing trials were being conducted for 73 species along the shores of Fukushima Prefecture beyond a distance of 20 km from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Immediately after the Fukushima accident, radioactive cesium (134Cs and 137Cs) activities of at least 100 Bq/kg-wet were detected in many species. However, those activities declined signifi cantly during the fi ve years following the accident. Since April of 2015, radioactive cesium activity has not exceeded the national standard limit (100 Bq/kg), and since July of 2015, the radioactive cesium activities of over 90% of the samples have been below the detection limit. Continuation of the fi shing trials, collection and analysis of the scientifi c data, and sharing of information will all be necessary to reassure distributors and consumers of the safety of commercial fi sh.

  • Increase in Predation Risk and Trophic Level Induced by Nocturnal Visits Of
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Increase in predation risk and trophic level induced by nocturnal visits of piscivorous fishes in a Received: 21 December 2016 Accepted: 11 May 2017 temperate seagrass bed Published: xx xx xxxx Jun Shoji1, Hiromichi Mitamura2, Kotaro Ichikawa3, Hikari Kinoshita1 & Nobuaki Arai3 The majority of surveys on food webs of aquatic ecosystems have been conducted during the day owning to difficulties in sampling animals at night. In this study, to examine diurnal changes in predator-prey interactions in a temperate seagrass Zostera marina bed, a quantitative day/night survey of fish, the dominant animal community, coupled with acoustic telemetry of their predators, was conducted. The number of species, abundance, and biomass of piscivorous predators and mean trophic level during the night were significantly higher than those in the day in all seasons. Analysis of the stomach contents of 182 piscivorous predators showed that no fish predation occurred during the day whereas predation occurred during the night in winter, spring, and summer. Acoustic telemetry demonstrated nocturnal visits by dominant piscivorous fish species (rockfishes and conger eel) to the seagrass bed. We conclude that the nocturnal visits by piscivorous fishes increased the predation risk and trophic level in the fish nursery. The ecological functions of seagrass beds should be reevaluated accounting for day/night changes in food webs; these areas serve as nurseries for juvenile and small- sized fishes during the day and as foraging grounds for predators during the night. Over an annual cycle, nighttime constitutes half of the diel cycle, on average. Animal community structure and ecosystem function vary within the diel cycle, reflecting the day/night changes in the patterns of distribution and behavior of each species1, 2.

  • Yelloweye Rockfish (Sebastes Ruberrimus) and Bocaccio (Sebastes Paucispinis)
    ROCKFISH RECOVERY PLAN Puget Sound / Georgia Basin Yelloweye Rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) and Bocaccio (Sebastes paucispinis) Prepared by Office of Protected Resources West Coast Regional Office National Marine Fisheries Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Approved: Chris Oliver, Assistant Administrator for Fisheries National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Date: Yelloweye Rockfish and Bocaccio Recovery Plan DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate such reasonable actions as may be necessary, based upon the best scientific and commercial data available, for the conservation and survival of listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (UWFWS)/National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, states agencies, and others. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views, official positions, or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formation other than USFWS/NMFS. They represent the official position of USFWS/NMFS only after they have been signed by the Regional Director/Assistant Administrator. Recovery plans are guidance and planning documents only; identification of an action to be implemented by any public or private party does not create a legal obligation beyond existing legal requirements. Nothing in this plan should be construed as a commitment or requirement that any Federal agency obligate or pay funds in any one fiscal year in excess of appropriations made by Congress for that fiscal year in contravention of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C 1341, or any other law or regulation. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions.
