Fish and invertebrate bycatch and discards in New Zealand hoki, hake, and ling fisheries from 1990–91 until 2012–13. New Zealand Aquatic Environment and Biodiversity Report No. 163. 120 p. Commercial catch-effort data and fisheries observer records of catch and discards by species were used to estimate the rate and level of fish bycatch and discards in the target hoki, hake, and ling trawl fishery for each fishing year from 1990–91 to 2012–13. Separate estimates, along with estimates of precision, were made for the following categories of catch and discards: all QMS species combined, all non-QMS species combined, all invertebrate species combined. In addition, estimates were made of the annual bycatch of a wide range of individual species. Linear mixed-effect models (LMEs) were used to identify key factors influencing variability in the observed rates of bycatch and discarding. These models consistently identified the hoki fishery areas as having the greatest influence on bycatch rates, therefore area was used to stratify the calculation of annual bycatch and discard totals in each catch category, although the WCSI was further split by fishing method. Ratio estimators were calculated for scaling up observed discard and bycatch rates to the total fishery. Bootstrapping techniques were used to select the most appropriate ratio estimator and to provide confidence limits for annual bycatch and discard estimates. For hoki, hake, and ling target fisheries two ratio estimators were applied, based on number of tows and duration respectively. Annual estimates of bycatch and discards calculated with the two forms of the estimator tended to be similar. Estimated ratios were then multiplied by the total number of trawls in each area stratum, derived from commercial catch-effort data, to make annual estimates for the target hoki, hake, or ling fishery as a whole. Multi-step bootstrap methods, taking into account the effect of auto- correlation between trawls in the same observed trip and area stratum, were used to estimate the variance in the rates and provide confidence intervals for the annual bycatch and discard estimates. Since 1990–91 the annual combined total landed catch of hoki, hake, and ling was between 109 600 and 301 600 t. Hoki, hake and ling have accounted for an average of 91% of the total estimated catch weight recorded by observers in these target fisheries. The remainder of the observed catch comprised mainly two QMS species, silver warehou (1.4% of the total catch), and spiny dogfish (0.9%), and the non-QMS javelinfish (1.4% of the total catch), and rattails (1.1%). Invertebrate species made up only a very small fraction of the overall catch, with arrow squid (0.1% of the total catch) the main species caught. All but a few edible invertebrates (crustaceans and molluscs) were discarded. Total bycatch in the hoki, hake, and ling fishery ranged from about 12 020 t to 37 730 t per year. The main bycatch species were silver warehou, javelinfish, rattails, and spiny dogfish. Bycatch ratios of QMS species were highest in Puysegur and lowest in Cook Strait. Bycatch ratios of non-QMS species were highest on the Chatham Rise and lowest for Cook Strait. Bycatch of invertebrates was low in all areas. Total annual discard estimates ranged from about 3699 to 16 633 t per year. Discards increased in the 1990s, peaked in 2000, and have since decreased. The main species being discarded were spiny dogfish, rattails, javelinfish, hoki, and shovelnose dogfish. Discard ratios of QMS species were highest in Cook Strait and the Sub-Antarctic and discard ratios of non-QMS and invertebrate species were lowest in Cook Strait. Discarding of hoki, hake, and ling accounted for 0.7% of total observed discards. There was an average of 0.05 kg of observed species discarded per kilogram of observed hoki, hake, and ling caught. Ministry for Primary Industries Bycatch and discards in hoki, hake, ling fisheries from 1990–91 to 2012–13 •1 The annual catch of 225 individual bycatch species was estimated using the same methods as for the combined species categories, and trends examined. A total of 40 species showed a decreasing trend and 19 species an increasing trend over time, although in some cases detection of trends was confounded by apparent changes over time in the species codes used by observers. Significant trends in bycatch ratios were not strongly supported by trends in relative biomass estimated from Sub-Antarctic and Chatham trawl survey time-series, although overall QMS and invertebrate groups showed some correlation with Chatham Rise trawl survey biomass trends for these species. The hoki, hake, and ling fishery is very complex, with many confounding factors. Changes in fishing practice in particular are likely to have contributed to variability in annual levels of bycatch and discards. There is a wide scope to take this analysis further. For example, there is potential for further analysis on each area separately focussing on trends within subareas, species groups, individual species, or trophic levels. Changes in bycatch ratios could be compared in more detail to survey biomass estimates for some species on the Chatham Rise and in the Sub-Antarctic, but further validation is required to determine whether estimates of commercial bycatch could provide long-term monitoring approaches for low-value species. 2 • Bycatch and discards in hoki, hake, ling fisheries from 1990–91 to 2012–13 Ministry for Primary Industries 1. INTRODUCTION The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) National Deepwater Plan includes the following Environment Outcome related management objective MO2.4: “Identify and avoid or minimise adverse effects of deepwater and middle-depth fisheries on incidental bycatch species”. This project addresses this objective by quantifying the level of bycatch of species or groups of species not managed separately in the QMS system. Significant changes in the relative catch of a species may be used to infer changes in abundance - although these may be due to other causes, such as changes in fishing practices. Bycatch species identified in this way as being in decline can be monitored and remedial action planned. The scampi (Metanephrops challengeri) trawl fishery was assessed in the first year of the programme (Anderson 2012), followed by the arrow squid (Nototodarus spp.) trawl fishery (Anderson 2013), and the ling (Genypterus blacodes) bottom longline fishery (Anderson 2014a) in the second and third years respectively. The hoki (Macruronus novaezelandiae)/hake (Merluccius australis)/ling (Genypterus blacodes) trawl fishery is the main subject of this report. Similar analyses will be carried out in subsequent years for each of the other Ministry for Primary Industries Tier-1 fisheries: jack mackerel (Trachurus spp.) trawl; southern blue whiting (Micromesistius australis) trawl; and orange roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus)/oreo (Oreosomatidae) trawl. The intention for this analysis was to treat target hoki, hake, or ling tows as a single fishery with three target species, rather than treating each fishery (based on the declared target species) separately. The hoki fishery has historically been New Zealand’s largest, with total reported catches of between 90 000 t and 213 000 t per year for the fishing years 1990–91 to 2012–13 (Ballara & O’Driscoll 2014).

It is similar to some of the small-toothed species currently placed in Bathycongrus and to the species of Bassanago. In this paper we compare the new species to Bassanago albescens (Barnard, 1923) and to Bathycongrus parviporus Karmovskaya, 2011, which it most closely resembles. An analysis of 19 characters shows that it agrees with Bat. parviporus in 16 characters and with Bas. albescens in one. In two characters, the three species are all different. We therefore place it in Bathycongrus. Key words: Taxonomy, Pisces, Bathycongrus, new species Introduction The species described here was discovered independently by two of the authors.

    DNA Barcoding Identifies Argentine Fishes from Marine and Brackish Waters Ezequiel Mabragan˜ a1,2*, Juan Martı´nDı´az de Astarloa1,2, Robert Hanner3, Junbin Zhang4, Mariano Gonza´lez Castro1,2 1 Laboratorio de Biotaxonomı´a Morfolo´gica y Molecular de Peces, Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas y Costeras, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Mar del Plata, Argentina, 2 Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientı´ficas y Te´cnicas, Argentina, 3 Biodiversity Institute of Ontario and Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Ontario Canada, 4 College of Fisheries and Life Science, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai Abstract Background: DNA barcoding has been advanced as a promising tool to aid species identification and discovery through the use of short, standardized gene targets. Despite extensive taxonomic studies, for a variety of reasons the identification of fishes can be problematic, even for experts. DNA barcoding is proving to be a useful tool in this context. However, its broad application is impeded by the need to construct a comprehensive reference sequence library for all fish species. Here, we make a regional contribution to this grand challenge by calibrating the species discrimination efficiency of barcoding among 125 Argentine fish species, representing nearly one third of the known fauna, and examine the utility of these data to address several key taxonomic uncertainties pertaining to species in this region. Methodology/Principal Findings: Specimens were collected and morphologically identified during crusies conducted between 2005 and 2008. The standard BARCODE fragment of COI was amplified and bi-directionally sequenced from 577 specimens (mean of 5 specimens/species), and all specimens and sequence data were archived and interrogated using analytical tools available on the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD; www.barcodinglife.org).

Head variable in form, snout either short or markedly elongate; eye well developed; upper jaw extends beyond lower, cleft of mouth ends under or slightly behind eye; lips without upturned or downturned flanges; teeth small, conical, multiserial. Gill opening small, slit-like, located just in front of and below pectoral fin. Dorsal and anal fins confluent with caudal fin; dorsal fin begins on anterior third of body, slightly behind tip of appressed pectoral fins; anal fin begins immediately behind anus, at or slightly behind midbody; dorsal and anal fins both become distinctly reduced near end of tail; pectoral fins present. Scales absent. Lateral line complete, pore system on head well developed. Colour: brown, with paler fins; 1 species with a dark midventral streak; no spots, lines, or other distinct markings. Derichthys (after Goode and Bean, 1896) Nessorhamphus (after Robins, 1989) Habitat, biology, and fisheries: The Derichthyidae includes 2 genera and 3 species of small, seldom-seen, midwater eels. Derichthys has a short snout, a constricted neck, and a series of short, longitudinal dermal ridges on the head (presumably sensory in nature). Nessorhamphus has a long, somewhat flattened snout, with the posterior nostril located far forward; it lacks the dermal ridges, and its neck is not constricted. Derichthyids are without the strong morphological specializations of the other midwater eels (Nemichthyidae, Serrivomeridae, and Saccopharyngiformes). They spend their entire lives in the open ocean; adults live at depths of several hundred meters.

Even though the biology of A. anguilla leptocephali in the Sargasso Sea has been studied for several decades, information regarding their diet has remained unknown until now. Previous dietary studies concerning other species of leptocephali in the Pacific Ocean have been limited to the recognition of identifiable prey remains amongst gut contents. Hence, in this study a molecular approach relying on the detection of prey DNA amongst gut contents was used to study dietary profiles of A. anguilla leptocephali in the Sargasso Sea. Leptocephali were collected during the circumglobal Galathea 3 expedition in spring 2007 to the Sargasso Sea.

    Carapace length-body weight relationship and condition factor of painted rock lobster Panulirus versicolor in Sorong waters, West Papua, Indonesia 1Yuni M. L. Situmorang, 2Sharifuddin B. A. Omar, 2Joeharnani Tresnati 1 Master Program of Fishery Science, Postgraduate School, Hasanuddin University, Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia; 2 Aquatic Resources Management Study Program, Hasanuddin University, Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Corresponding author: S. B. A. Omar, [email protected] Abstract. Painted rock lobster (Panulirus versicolor) is a superior commodity with an important economic value, also being the most dominant species found in the waters of the Sorong region. Sampling was conducted from March to August 2020 in Tanjung Kasuari waters, Sorong City and Makbon waters, Sorong Regency. During the study, 365 lobster samples were captured from Tanjung Kasuari waters and 460 from Makbon waters. The results showed that in the waters of Tanjung Kasuari male lobsters had a hypoallometric growth pattern and female lobsters had an isometric growth pattern. The mean condition factors were 1.0049 for males and 0.9865 for females. On the other hand, both male and female lobsters in Makbon waters have a hypoallometric growth pattern with a mean condition factor of 0.9948 for males and 0.9875 for females. Key Words: spiny lobster, growth pattern, hypoallometric. Introduction. Lobster is a leading export commodity that has important economic value and has significantly contributed to the country's fishery sector and foreign exchange (Hasrun & Kasmawati 2018). Lobster is included in the genus Panulirus which has 21 species, 7 of which are found in Indonesian waters (Holthuis 1991; Chan 1998, 2010; Chang et al 2010; Ernawaty et al 2014; Wardiatno et al 2016; Wahyudin et al 2017a,b): P.
