BOX; 1408, Lattakia, Syria [email protected] (corresponding author); [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Syria’s total marine fisheries catches were estimated for the 1950-2010 time period using a reconstruction approach which accounted for all fisheries removals, including unreported commercial landings, discards, and recreational and subsistence catches. All unreported estimates were added to the official data, as reported by the Syrian Arab Republic to the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Total reconstructed catch for 1950-2010 was around 170,000 t, which is 78% more than the amount reported by Syria to the FAO as their national catch. The unreported components added over 74,000 t of unreported catches, of which 38,600 t were artisanal landings, 16,000 t industrial landings, over 4,000 t recreational catches, 3,000 t subsistence catches and around 12,000 t were discards.
  • A Comparison of the Seasonal Abundance of Hake (Merluccius Merluccius) and Its Main Prey Species Off the Portuguese Coast

    A Comparison of the Seasonal Abundance of Hake (Merluccius Merluccius) and Its Main Prey Species Off the Portuguese Coast

    THIS POSTER IS NOT TO BE CITED WITHOUT PRIOR REFERENCE TO THE AUTHORS ICES C.M. 2000/Q:13 THEME SESSION Q: TROPHIC DYNAMICS OF TOP PREDATORS: FORAGING STRATEGIES AND REQUIREMENTS, AND CONSUMPTION MODELS A comparison of the seasonal abundance of hake (Merluccius merluccius) and its main prey species off the Portuguese coast. L. Hill & M.F. Borges Dept. of Marine Resources (DRM), Instituto de Investigação das Pescas e do Mar (IPIMAR), Avenida de Brasilia, PT-1449-006 Lisboa, Portugal (email: [email protected]; [email protected]). Abstract Hake is an important predator in the Atlantic off the Portuguese coast. Its diet has been studied between 1997 and 1999 and the main fish species it preys on have been identified. This poster compares the seasonal abundance of hake and the availability of its main prey species in three physically distinct regions of the continental Portuguese shelf and slope using trawl fishery catches. The main prey species, which vary in order of importance according to season, are: blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou), mackerel (Scomber scombrus), chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus), anchovy (Engraulis encrasicholus) and sardine (Sardina pilchardus). It is shown that there is some correspondence between the seasonal and spatial variation in abundance of prey species in the ecosystem and the proportion of these prey in the diet. This confirms that hake is an opportunistic feeder. Hake and these species are all commercially important, so these interactions are important for an ecosystem approach to their management. Introduction This poster compares the seasonal abundance of hake and its main commercial prey species in three physically distinct regions (north – above 40º00’ latitude, centre – between 39º90’ and 37º30’ and south – below 37º20’) of the continental Portuguese shelf and slope.

    9.2 Greater North Sea Ecoregion – Fisheries Overview

    ICES Fisheries Overviews Greater North Sea Ecoregion Published 4 July 2017 DOI: 10.17895/ices.pub.3116 9.2 Greater North Sea Ecoregion – Fisheries overview Executive summary Around 6600 fishing vessels are active in the Greater North Sea. Total landings peaked in the 1970s at 4 million tonnes and have since declined to about 2 million tonnes. Total fishing effort has declined substantially since 2003. Pelagic fish landings are greater than demersal fish landings. Herring and mackerel, caught using pelagic trawls and seines, account for the largest portion of the pelagic landings, while sandeel and haddock, caught using otter trawls/seines, account for the largest fraction of the demersal landings. Catches are taken from more than 100 stocks. Discards are highest in the demersal and benthic fisheries. The spatial distribution of fishing gear varies across the Greater North Sea. Static gear is used most frequently in the English Channel, the eastern part of the Southern Bight, the Danish banks, and in the waters east of Shetland. Bottom trawls are used throughout the North Sea, with lower use in the shallower southern North Sea where beam trawls are most commonly used. Pelagic gears are used throughout the North Sea. In terms of tonnage of catch, most of the fish stocks harvested from the North Sea are being fished at levels consistent with achieving good environmental status (GES) under the EU’s Marine Strategy Framework Directive; however, the reproductive capacity of the stocks has not generally reached this level. Almost all the fisheries in the North Sea catch more than one species; controlling fishing on one species therefore affects other species as well.

An integrative study of Pseudaxine trachuri (Monogenea, Gastrocotylidae) leads to a better understanding of the systematics of Pseudaxine and related genera Chahinez Bouguerche1, Fadila Tazerouti1, Delphine Gey2,3, and Jean-Lou Justine4,* 1 Université des Sciences et de la Technologie Houari Boumediene, Faculté des Sciences Biologiques, Laboratoire de Biodiversité et Environnement: Interactions – Génomes, BP 32, El Alia, Bab Ezzouar, 16111 Alger, Algérie 2 Service de Systématique Moléculaire, UMS 2700 CNRS, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Sorbonne Universités, 43 Rue Cuvier, CP 26, 75231 Paris Cedex 05, France 3 UMR7245 MCAM, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, 61, Rue Buffon, CP52, 75231 Paris Cedex 05, France 4 Institut Systématique Évolution Biodiversité (ISYEB), Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, CNRS, Sorbonne Université, EPHE, Université des Antilles, 57 Rue Cuvier, CP 51, 75231 Paris Cedex 05, France Received 27 May 2020, Accepted 24 July 2020, Published online 18 August 2020 Abstract – The presence/absence and number of vaginae is a major characteristic for the systematics of the Monogenea. Three gastrocotylid genera share similar morphology and anatomy but are distinguished by this character: Pseudaxine Parona & Perugia, 1890 has no vagina, Allogastrocotyle Nasir & Fuentes Zambrano, 1983 has two vaginae, and Pseudaxinoides Lebedev, 1968 has multiple vaginae. In the course of a study of Pseudaxine trachuri Parona & Perugia 1890, we found specimens with structures resembling “multiple vaginae”; we compared them with specimens without vaginae in terms of both morphology and molecular characterisitics (COI barcode), and found that they belonged to the same species.
