Skates exhibit a variety of manifestations of sexual dimorphism. However, this phenomenon has been poorly documented in deepwater species. New data on the sexual dimorphism of five species of deepwater skates from the North Atlantic Ocean are presented: Amblyraja jenseni, Bathyraja pallida, Bathyraja richardsoni, Rajella bigelowi, and R. kukujevi. These skates exhibit sexual dimorphism most frequently in interorbital width, disc length and width, length of the third gill slit, horizontal diameter of the orbit, length of the fifth gill slit, space between the first and fifth gill slits, length of the second dorsal fin base, mouth width, length and width of each lobe of the nasal curtain, distance from the snout to the center of anus, distance from the snout tip to the point of maximum disc width, length of the lateral fold, length of the orbit + spiracle (measured together), tail height at the pelvic fin tips, and the number of median thorns.

Discarding is known to take place, but ICES cannot quantify the corresponding catches. Stock development over time The available survey and abundance data are insufficient to assess these species individually. All stocks are considered to be of minor importance for the commercial fisheries in this ecoregion. The apparent reduction in landings since 2009 is attributed to improved reporting at the species level, which has reduced the amount of skates reported as unidentified. Figure 1 Other skates and rays in subareas 6–7 (excluding Division 7.d). ICES-estimated landings for species covered by this advice which includes species not reported elsewhere (Amblyraja hyperborea, Amblyraja radiata, Rajella fyllae), species outside stock boundaries (Raja brachyura, Raja clavata, Raja microocellata, Raja montagui, Raja undulata), and the generic reported landings (indeterminate Rajiformes) in tonnes. Stock and exploitation status ICES cannot assess the stock and exploitation status relative to maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and precautionary approach (PA) reference points because the reference points are undefined.

The emphasis has been on fishes generally but these studies have also contributed greatly to our knowledge of chondrichthyans in the region, as well as across the broader Indo–West Pacific. An annotated checklist of cartilaginous fishes of the Philippines is compiled based on historical information and new data. A Taiwanese deepwater trawl survey off Luzon in 1995 produced specimens of 15 species including 12 new records for the Philippines and a few species new to science.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

  • Status Determination Criteria and Stock Assessment Citation Table
    National Marine Fisheries Service - 2019 Status of U.S. Fisheries Status Determination Criteria and Stock Assessment Citation Table This table contains: 1) overfishing and overfished status determination criteria for each stock/stock complex; 2) year and citation of stock assessment that supports the most recent overfishing and/or overfished status; and 3) year of catch/overfishing limit (OFL) for stocks that use catch/OFL to support overfishing status. Wherever "N/A" is indicated, a stock assessment or catch/OFL was not used (some stocks have an unknown overfishing and/or overfished status).

  • Cuckoo Ray (Leucoraja Naevus) in Division 9.A (Atlantic Iberian Waters)
    ICES Advice on fishing opportunities, catch, and effort Bay of Biscay and the Iberian Coast ecoregion Published 2 October 2020 Cuckoo ray (Leucoraja naevus) in Division 9.a (Atlantic Iberian waters) ICES advice on fishing opportunities ICES advises that when the precautionary approach is applied, catches should be no more than 120 tonnes in each of the years 2021 and 2022. If discard rates do not change from the average of the last five years (2015–2019), this implies landings of no more than 84 tonnes. Note: This advice sheet is abbreviated due to the COVID-19 disruption. The previous advice issued for 2019 and 2020 is attached as Annex 1. Stock development over time Figure 1 Cuckoo ray in Division 9.a. Left: ICES landings estimates (all fleets: 2002–2019) and discards (Spanish fleet: 2015– 2019). Right: The stock-size indicator (solid line) is the combined biomass survey index (normalized) from the two Spanish groundfish surveys in the Gulf of Cadiz (SpGFS-GC-WIBTS-Q1, SpGFS–GC-WIBTS-Q4). Horizontal lines indicate the mean stock-size indicator values for 2013–2017 and 2018–2019. Stock and exploitation status Table 1 Cuckoo ray in Division 9.a. State of the stock and the fishery relative to reference points. Catch scenarios The precautionary buffer was last applied in 2014. The status of the stock size and fishing pressure relative to reference points is unknown. However, because of a long-term increase in the stock-size indicator since 1998 and a significant decrease in the fishing effort over the last ten years, the precautionary buffer was not applied in 2020.

We document 41 species proposed to occur in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
