Tilgangurinn með vöktuninni er að meta ástand íslenskra sjávarafurða með tilliti til magns aðskotaefna. Gögnin sem safnað er í vöktunarverkefninu verða einnig notuð í áhættumati og til að hafa áhrif á setningu hámarksgilda óæskilegra efna t.d í Evrópu. Umfjöllun um aðskotaefni í sjávarafurðum, bæði í almennum fjölmiðlum og í vísindaritum, hefur margoft krafist viðbragða íslenskra stjórnvalda. Nauðsynlegt er að hafa til taks vísindaniðurstöður sem sýna fram á raunverulegt ástand íslenskra sjávarafurða til þess að koma í veg fyrir tjón sem af slíkri umfjöllun getur hlotist. Ennfremur eru mörk aðskotaefna í sífelldri endurskoðun og er mikilvægt fyrir Íslendinga að taka þátt í slíkri endurskoðun og styðja mál sitt með vísindagögnum. Þetta sýnir mikilvægi þess að regluleg vöktun fari fram og að á Íslandi séu stundaðar sjálfstæðar rannsóknir á eins mikilvægum málaflokki og mengun sjávarafurða er. Þessi skýrsla er samantekt niðurstaðna vöktunarinnar árið 2006. Það er langtímamarkmið að meta ástand íslenskra sjávarafurða m.t.t. magns óæskilegra efna. Þessu markmiði verður einungis náð með sívirkri vöktun í langan tíma.

    Pacific Plate Biogeography, with Special Reference to Shorefishes VICTOR G. SPRINGER m SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 367 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoo/ogy Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

FRY University of Toronto THE OSMOREGULATORY METABOLISM OF THE STARRY FLOUNDER, PLATICHTYS STELLATUS ABSTRACT Energy demands for osmotic regulation and the possible osmoregulatory role of the thyroid gland were investigated in the euryhaline starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus. Using a melt• ing-point technique, it was established that flounder could regulate body fluid concentration independent of widely divergent environ• mental salinities. Small flounder experienced more rapid disturb• ances of body fluid concentration than large flounder after abrupt salinity alterations. The standard metabolic rate of flounder adapted to fresh water was consistently and significantly less than that of marine flounder. In supernormal salinities standard metabolic rate was significantly greater than in normal sea water.

    Jarvis Island NWR Final

    Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan Unincorporated U.S. Territory, Central Pacific Ocean The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has completed the Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) and Environmental Assessment (EA) for Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge). The CCP will guide management of the Refuge for the next 15 years. The CCP and EA describe the Service’s preferred alternative for managing the Refuge and its effects on the human environment. Decision Following comprehensive review and analysis, the Service selected Alternative B in the draft EA for implementation because it is the alternative that best meets the following criteria: Achieves the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System. Achieves the purposes of the Refuge. Will be able to achieve the vision and goals for the Refuge. Maintains and restores the ecological integrity of the habitats and plant and animal populations at the Refuge. Addresses the important issues identified during the scoping process. Addresses the legal mandates of the Service and the Refuge. Is consistent with the scientific principles of sound wildlife management. Can be implemented within the projected fiscal and logistical management constraints associated with the Refuge’s remote location. As described in detail in the CCP and EA, implementing the selected alternative will have no significant impacts on any of the natural or cultural resources identified in the CCP and EA. Public Review The planning process incorporated a variety of public involvement techniques in developing and reviewing the CCP. This included three planning updates, meetings with partners, and public review and comment on the planning documents.

    Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean Volume

    ISBN 0-9689167-4-x Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean (Davis Strait, Southern Greenland and Flemish Cap to Cape Hatteras) Volume One Acipenseriformes through Syngnathiformes Michael P. Fahay ii Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean iii Dedication This monograph is dedicated to those highly skilled larval fish illustrators whose talents and efforts have greatly facilitated the study of fish ontogeny. The works of many of those fine illustrators grace these pages. iv Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean v Preface The contents of this monograph are a revision and update of an earlier atlas describing the eggs and larvae of western Atlantic marine fishes occurring between the Scotian Shelf and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (Fahay, 1983). The three-fold increase in the total num- ber of species covered in the current compilation is the result of both a larger study area and a recent increase in published ontogenetic studies of fishes by many authors and students of the morphology of early stages of marine fishes. It is a tribute to the efforts of those authors that the ontogeny of greater than 70% of species known from the western North Atlantic Ocean is now well described. Michael Fahay 241 Sabino Road West Bath, Maine 04530 U.S.A. vi Acknowledgements I greatly appreciate the help provided by a number of very knowledgeable friends and colleagues dur- ing the preparation of this monograph. Jon Hare undertook a painstakingly critical review of the entire monograph, corrected omissions, inconsistencies, and errors of fact, and made suggestions which markedly improved its organization and presentation.

  • Age, Growth and Population Dynamics of Lemon Sole Microstomus Kitt(Walbaum 1792)

    Age, Growth and Population Dynamics of Lemon Sole Microstomus Kitt(Walbaum 1792)

    Age, growth and population dynamics of lemon sole Microstomus kitt (Walbaum 1792) sampled off the west coast of Ireland By Joan F. Hannan Masters Thesis in Fish Biology Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology Supervisors of Research Dr. Pauline King and Dr. David McGrath Submitted to the Higher Education and Training Awards Council July 2002 Age, growth and population dynamics of lemon sole Microstomus kitt (Walbaum 1792) sampled off the west coast of Ireland Joan F. Hannan ABSTRACT The age, growth, maturity and population dynamics o f lemon sole (Microstomus kitt), captured off the west coast o f Ireland (ICES division Vllb), were determined for the period November 2000 to February 2002. The maximum age recorded was 14 years. Males o f the population were dominated by 4 year olds, while females were dominated by 5 year olds. Females dominated the sex ratio in the overall sample, each month sampled, at each age and from 22cm in total length onwards (when N > 20). Possible reasons for the dominance o f females in the sex ratio are discussed. Three models were used to obtain the parameters o f the von Bertalanfly growth equation. These were the Ford-Walford plot (Beverton and Holt 1957), the Gulland and Holt plot (1959) and the Rafail (1973) method. Results o f the fitted von Bertalanffy growth curves showed that female lemon sole o ff the west coast o f Ireland grew faster than males and attained a greater size. Male and female lemon sole mature from 2 years o f age onwards. There is evidence in the population o f a smaller asymptotic length (L«, = 34.47cm), faster growth rate (K = 0.1955) and younger age at first maturity, all o f which are indicative o f a decrease in population size, when present results are compared to data collected in the same area 22 years earlier.

Centro, Ciudad de México, CP 06060, México, e-mail: [email protected], and Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Biológicas, Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Prolongación de Carpio y Plan de Ayala, Ciudad de México, CP 11340, México. (Received 1 September 2016; Revised 25 January 2017; Accepted 10 February 2017) RESUMEN: El presente trabajo aborda los restos de peces encontrados en las once ofrendas que integran el Complejo A, depositadas alrededor del Templo Mayor de Tenochtitlán, el cual fuera el principal edificio ceremonial de la cultura mexica. El estudio de más de 35,000 restos muestra que se usaron 391 individuos de 63 especies y 35 familias. Siete especies fueron particularmen- te importantes por la cantidad de individuos y su frecuencia de uso, aunque el único atributo en común a las 11 ofrendas, es el pez sierra (Pristis). Sólo fueron ofrendados peces marinos, predominando las formas del Atlántico. La mayoría de los peces fueron depositados con una preparación taxidérmica para eliminar la columna vertebral. Las ofrendas colocadas en el relleno constructivo fueron marcadamente menos diversas respecto de las otras ofrendas colocadas en cistas. Aunque se pudieron relacionar algunas especies mencionadas por Sahagún con las ofren- dadas, las fuentes etnohistóricas proporcionan poca información de los peces y su uso, de ahí la importancia de un apropiado rescate y estudio de los restos de peces como fuente primaria y casi exclusiva de las relaciones entre el hombre mesoamericano y este recurso.
