Contact: [email protected] introduction The sea ice cover decreases and human activity increases in Arctic waters. Fisheries (by-catch issues), shipping and petroleum exploita- tion (pollution issues) make it imperative to establish biological base- OCCURRENCE OF lines for the marine fishes inhabiting the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas (AOAS). As a first step towards credible conservation actions for the Arctic marine fish faunae, we examine the species-richness of chondrich- thyan fishes (class Chondrichthyes) pertaining to 16 regions within the AOAS: chimaeras, sharks and skates. CHONDRICHTHYAN materials and methods • Voucher specimens from Natural History Collections IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN • Annotated checklists (see selected references) • The CAFF Database on Arctic marine fishes (Christiansen et al., in AND ADJACENT SEAS progress) FISHES Only presence and absence data are considered, as reliable abundance data lack for most species. Occurrences known only from floating or beach-cast carcasses, such as Pacific sleeper shark (no. 17) and Alaska skate (no. 29) in the Chukchi Sea, are not considered conclusive evidence of presence and are not included.

  • Spatial Ecology and Fisheries Interactions of Rajidae in the Uk
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF NATURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Ocean and Earth Sciences SPATIAL ECOLOGY AND FISHERIES INTERACTIONS OF RAJIDAE IN THE UK Samantha Jane Simpson Thesis for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY APRIL 2018 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON 1 2 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF NATURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Ocean and Earth Sciences Doctor of Philosophy FINE-SCALE SPATIAL ECOLOGY AND FISHERIES INTERACTIONS OF RAJIDAE IN UK WATERS by Samantha Jane Simpson The spatial occurrence of a species is a fundamental part of its ecology, playing a role in shaping the evolution of its life history, driving population level processes and species interactions. Within this spatial occurrence, species may show a tendency to occupy areas with particular abiotic or biotic factors, known as a habitat association. In addition some species have the capacity to select preferred habitat at a particular time and, when species are sympatric, resource partitioning can allow their coexistence and reduce competition among them. The Rajidae (skate) are cryptic benthic mesopredators, which bury in the sediment for extended periods of time with some species inhabiting turbid coastal waters in higher latitudes. Consequently, identifying skate fine-scale spatial ecology is challenging and has lacked detailed study, despite them being commercially important species in the UK, as well as being at risk of population decline due to overfishing. This research aimed to examine the fine-scale spatial occurrence, habitat selection and resource partitioning among the four skates across a coastal area off Plymouth, UK, in the western English Channel. In addition, I investigated the interaction of Rajidae with commercial fisheries to determine if interactions between species were different and whether existing management measures are effective.

Dans ce travail, nous rapportons la capture d’un chien de mer pointe de flèche, Deania pro f u n d o ru m (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912), dans les eaux portugaises méridionales. Le spécimen, une grande femelle mature de 87,5 cm de longueur totale, n’avait que quatre fentes branchiales du côté droit, sans présenter de cicatrice à l’en- droit où la cinquième fente aurait dû se situer. Des mesures compa- ratives entre les tailles des fentes branchiales gauches et droites amènent à conclure que la fente manquante est probablement la première.

    Identification guide to the deep–sea cartilaginous fishes of the Southeastern Atlantic Ocean FAO. 2015. Identification guide to the deep–sea cartilaginous fishes of the Southeastern Atlantic Ocean. FishFinder Programme, by Ebert, D.A. and Mostarda, E., Rome, Italy. Supervision: Merete Tandstad, Jessica Sanders (FAO, Rome) Technical editor: Edoardo Mostarda (FAO, Rome) Colour illustrations, cover and graphic design: Emanuela D’Antoni (FAO, Rome) This guide was prepared under the “FAO Deep–sea Fisheries Programme” thanks to a generous funding from the Government of Norway (Support to the implementation of the International Guidelines on the Management of Deep-Sea Fisheries in the High Seas project) for the purpose of assisting states, institutions, the fishing industry and RFMO/As in the implementation of FAO International Guidelines for the Management of Deep-sea Fisheries in the High Seas. It was developed in close collaboration with the FishFinder Programme of the Marine and Inland Fisheries Branch, Fisheries Department, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The present guide covers the deep–sea Southeastern Atlantic Ocean and that portion of Southwestern Indian Ocean from 18°42’E to 30°00’E (FAO Fishing Area 47). It includes a selection of cartilaginous fish species of major, moderate and minor importance to fisheries as well as those of doubtful or potential use to fisheries. It also covers those little known species that may be of research, educational, and ecological importance. In this region, the deep–sea chondrichthyan fauna is currently represented by 50 shark, 20 batoid and 8 chimaera species. This guide includes full species accounts for 37 shark, 9 batoid and 4 chimaera species selected as being the more difficult to identify and/or commonly caught.

  • Wk Shark Advice Adhshark
    ICES Special Request Advice Ecoregions in the Northeast Atlantic and adjacent seas Published 25 September 2020 NEAFC and OSPAR joint request on the status and distribution of deep-water elasmobranchs Advice summary In response to a joint request from NEAFC and OSPAR, ICES reviewed existing information on deep-water sharks, skates and rays from surveys and the literature. Distribution maps were generated for 21 species, showing the location of catches from available survey data on deep-water sharks and elasmobranchs in the NEAFC and OSPAR areas of the Northeast Atlantic. Shapefiles of the species distribution areas are available as supporting documentation to this work. This advice sheet presents a summary of ICES advice on the stock status of species for which an assessment is available, as well as current knowledge on the stock status of species for which ICES does not provide advice. An overview of approaches which may be applied to mitigate bycatch and to improve stock status is also presented. ICES recognizes that, despite their limitations, prohibition, gear and depth limitations, and TAC are mechanisms currently available to managers to regulate outtake; therefore, ICES advises that these mechanisms should be maintained. Furthermore, ICES advises that additional measures, such as electromagnetic exclusion devices, acoustic or light-based deterrents, and spatio-temporal management could be explored. Request NEAFC and OSPAR requested ICES to produce: a. Maps and shapefiles of the distribution of the species, identifying, if possible, key areas used during particular periods/stages of the species’ lifecycle in terms of distribution and relative abundance of the species, and expert interpretation of the data products; b.
