Zoo and Aquarium Species Directory Mcroberts Sales Co., Inc Zoo and Aquarium Species Directory McRoberts Sales Co., Inc. is proud to provide the 3rd Edition of our Seafood Directory for your use as a reference guide. The seafood shown in this brochure represents typical items that we inventory for zoos, parks and aquariums. While these species make up our primary inventory, we can supply all types of seafood to meet your individual needs. The analysis guides shown on each page are the results found in a random sampling by ABC Research Corporation, a laboratory contracted by McRoberts Sales Co., Inc. It is not to be construed that all fish of that particular species will consistently contain the same ratios. It is highly recommended that you seek a laboratory to perform tests that meet your specifications. It has been our pleasure to create this brochure for your use and convenience. We welcome all inquiries for your seafood needs. Please call our staff Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST 813.645.2561 Kathi L.

Paul Patrick, Ph.D. Environmental and Aquatic Management Services EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that cooling water intake structures reflect the best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impact to aquatic organisms that are impinged (being pinned against screens or outer part of a cooling water intake structure) or entrained (being drawn into and through cooling water systems). Phase II of the 316(b) rule for existing electric generating plants was designed to reduce impingement mortality by 80-95% and, if applicable, entrainment by 60-90%. In January 2007, the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals remanded several provisions of the Phase II rule on various grounds. The provisions remanded included: • EPA’s determination of the Best Technology Available under Section 316(b); • The rule’s performance standard ranges; • The cost-cost and cost-benefit compliance alternatives; • The Technology Installation and Operation Plan provision; • The restoration provisions; and • The “independent supplier” provision.

  • Vii Fishery-At-A-Glance Night Smelt Scientific Name: Spirinchus Starksi Range
    Fishery-at-a-Glance Night Smelt Scientific Name: Spirinchus starksi Range: Night Smelt are distributed coast-wide from southeast Alaska to Point Arguello, Santa Barbara County. Habitat: Night Smelt occur in the surf and in depths from the surface to approximately 400 feet (122 meters). Size (length and weight): Night Smelt measure less than 6 inches total length (140 millimeters) weighing to 11 grams. Males are slightly longer and heavier than females. Life span: Night Smelt are short lived and believed to reach a maximum of 2 to 3 years. Reproduction: Spawning occurs in the surf along open coast coarse sand beaches from January to September. Eggs are fertilized in the wash of the surf, adhere to sand grains, and sink. Hatching occurs in approximately 2 weeks. Prey: Night Smelt feed on small crustaceans—primarily gammarid amphipods and mysid shrimp. Predators: Night Smelt provide forage for a wide range of predators, including Striped Bass, Redtail Surfperch, salmon, Harbor Seals, California Sea Lions, terns, gulls, and cormorants. Fishery: Commercial and recreational fisheries are shore-based. Area fished: Historically, fishing occurred from Moss Landing, Monterey County to the Oregon border. Currently, fishing occurs from San Mateo County to Del Norte County. Fishing season: Fishing occurs during the spawning season—January to September. Fishing gear: Fishermen fish from shore using A-frame dip nets. Market(s): Landed fish are sold for human consumption and aquarium food. Current stock status: No formal stock assessments exist for Night Smelt. Although catch rates have increased on average since the early 2000s, it is undetermined if this increase in the index is due to increased abundance or changes in fishermen behavior.

  • Rainbow Smelt Spawning Monitoring
    PROGRESS REPORT State: NEW HAMPSHIRE Grant: F-61-R-22/F19AF00061 Grant Title: NEW HAMPSHIRE’S MARINE FISHERIES INVESTIGATIONS Project I: DIADROMOUS FISH INVESTIGATIONS Job 2: MONITORING OF RAINBOW SMELT SPAWNING ACTIVITY Objective: To annually monitor the Rainbow Smelt Osmerus mordax resource using fishery independent techniques during their spawning run in the Great Bay Estuary. Period Covered: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2019 ABSTRACT In 2019, a total of 844 Rainbow Smelt Osmerus mordax (349 in Oyster River, 405 in Winnicut River, and 90 in Squamscott River) were caught in fyke nets. The CPUE in 2019 was highest in the Oyster River with 23.79 smelt per day, whereas the Winnicut River (8.46 smelt per day) and Squamscott River (5.54 smelt per day) were lower. A male-skewed sex ratio was observed at all rivers, a likely result of differences in spawning behavior between sexes. The age distribution of captured Rainbow Smelt, weighted by total catch was highest for age-2 fish, followed by age-1, age-3, and age-4 fish. Most water quality measurements (temperature, dissolved oxygen, specific conductivity, and pH) were within or near acceptable ranges for smelt spawning and egg incubation and development in 2019; however, turbidity was above the threshold in the Oyster River for most days monitored. INTRODUCTION Rainbow Smelt Osmerus mordax are small anadromous fish that live in nearshore coastal waters and spawn in the spring in tidal rivers immediately above the head of tide in freshwater (Kendall 1926; Murawski et al. 1980; Buckley 1989). Anadromous smelt serve as important prey for commercial and recreational culturally valuable species, such as Atlantic Cod Gadus morhua, Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar, and Striped Bass Morone saxatilis (Clayton et al.

The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.
