Nbr First Edition Update Table 4.2 Southeast Region Fish NBR FIRST EDITION UPDATE TABLE 4.2 SOUTHEAST REGION FISH BYCATCH BY STOCKS AND SPECIES - 2010 The Southeast Region generated 2010 fish bycatch estimates and ratios using 2006- 2010 data, except where otherwise noted. Species bycatch ratio = total regional bycatch of a species / (total regional landings of the species + total regional bycatch of the species). Landings data were not available at the stock level. Some bycatch ratios (marked **) could not be developed, e.g., where bycatch was by weight and numbers of individuals, and landings were in pounds. Bycatch ratio cells are left blank when landings = 0.

  • Potential of Pigeon Creek As a Nursery Habitat for Juvenile Reef Fish
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Potential of Pigeon Creek, San Salvador, Bahamas, As Nursery Habitat for Juvenile Reef Fish Ian C. Conboy1 Northeast Fisheries Science Center, Woods Hole, MA James M. Haynes The College at Brockport, State University of New York, Brockport, NY ABSTRACT This project assessed the significance of Pigeon Creek, San Salvador, Bahamas as a nursery habitat for coral reef fishes. Pigeon Creek’s perimeter is lined with mangrove and limestone bedrock. The bottom is sand or sea grass and ranges in depth from exposed at low tide to a 3-m deep, tide-scoured channel. In June 2006 and January 2007, fish were counted and their maturity was recorded while sampling 112 of 309 possible 50-m transects along the perimeter of the Pigeon Creek. Excluding silversides (Atherinidae, 52% of fish counted), six families each comprised more than 1% of the total abundance (Scaridae/parrotfishes, 35.3%; Lutjanidae/snappers, 23.9%; Haemulidae/grunts, 21.0%; Gerreidae/mojarras, 8.5%; Pomacentridae/damselfishes, 6.1%; Labridae/wrasses, 2.4%). There were few differences in effort-adjusted counts among habitats (mangrove, bedrock, mixed), sections (north, middle, southwest) and seasons (summer 2006 and winter 2007). Red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), covering 68% of the perimeter was where 62% of the fish were counted. Snappers, grunts and parrot fishes are important food fishes and significant families in terms of reef ecology around San Salvador. Mangrove was the most important habitat for snappers and grunts; bedrock was most important for parrot fishes. The southwest section was important for snappers, grunts and parrot fishes, the north section for grunts and parrot fishes, and the middle section for snappers.

Please cite this article as doi: 10.1002/spp2.1221 This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved A ‘Gempylids’ (snake mackerels) and trichiurids (cutlassfishes) are pelagic fishes characterised by slender to eel-like bodies, deep-sea predatory ecologies, and large fang-like teeth. Several hypotheses of relationships between these groups have been proposed, but a consensus remains elusive. Fossils attributed to ‘gempylids’ and trichiurids consist almost exclusively of highly compressed body fossils and isolated teeth and otoliths. We use micro-computed tomography to redescribe two three- dimensional crania, historically assigned to †Eutrichiurides winkleri and †Progempylus edwardsi, as well as an isolated braincase (NHMUK PV OR 41318).

  • Distribution, Abundance and Biological Interactions of the Cutlassfish Trichiurus Zepturus in the Southern Brazil Subtropical Convergence Ecosystem

Brazil Accepted 5 October 1996 Abstract The distribution, abundance and biological interactions of the cutlassfish Tn’chiurus lepturus in the southern Brazil subtropical convergence ecosystem were studied from demersal trawl surveys conducted along the continental shelf and upper slope from Cape Santa Marta Grande (28”36’S) to Chui (34”45’S) between 1981 and 1987. Trichiurus lepturus was more abundant at bottom water temperatures of over 16°C and in the 40-120 m depth range. From late spring to fall, juveniles of S-30 cm total length (TL) were found in coastal waters, subadults (TL 30-70 cm) mainly in inner shelf waters and adults (TL > 70 cm) in coastal, inner and outer shelf waters. Higher catches of subadults and adults were found associated with thermal fronts in the western boundary of the Subtropical Convergence or with a shelf break upwelling observed in summer. The standing stock in a 58 000 km2 shelf area estimated by the swept area method, ranged from 3066 t ( f 46% Cl) in September 1981 to 37 8 14 t ( f 22% CI) in January 1982. Correlation between occurrences of different size groups of cutlassfishes and other fishes caught in 250 bottom trawl hauls was analyzed.

Reed Stephanie Farrington ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This research was supported by the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research under award number NA14OAR4320260 to the Cooperative Institute for Ocean Exploration, Research and Technology (CIOERT) at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute-Florida Atlantic University (HBOI-FAU), and by the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory under award number NA150AR4320064 to the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) at the University of Miami. This expedition was conducted in support of the Joint Statement between the United States of America and the Republic of Cuba on Cooperation on Environmental Protection (November 24, 2015) and the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. National Park Service, and Cuba’s National Center for Protected Areas. We give special thanks to Carlos Díaz Maza (Director of the National Center of Protected Areas) and Ulises Fernández Gomez (International Relations Officer, Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment; CITMA) for assistance in securing the necessary permits to conduct the expedition and for their tremendous hospitality and logistical support in Cuba. We thank the Captain and crew of the University of Miami R/V F.G.

  • Fish in Disguise: Seafood Fraud in Korea
    Fish in disguise: Seafood fraud in Korea A briefing by the Environmental Justice Foundation 1 Executive summary Between January and December 2018, the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) used DNA testing to determine levels of seafood fraud in the Republic of Korea. The results showed that over a third of samples tested were mislabelled. This mislabelling defrauds consumers, risks public health, harms the marine environment and can be associated with serious human rights abuses across the world. These findings demonstrate the urgent need for greater transparency and traceability in Korean seafood, including imported products. Key findings: • Over a third of seafood samples (34.8%, 105 of 302 samples) genetically analysed were mislabelled. • Samples labelled Fleshy Prawn, Fenneropenaeus chinensis (100%), Japanese Eel, Anguilla japonica (67.7%), Mottled Skate, Raja pulchra (53.3%) and Common Octopus, Octopus vulgaris (52.9%) had the highest rates of mislabelling. • Not a single sample labelled Fleshly Prawn was the correct species. • Mislabelling was higher in restaurants, fish markets and online than in general markets or superstores. • By processed types, sushi (53.9%), fresh fish (38.9%) and sashimi (33.6%) were the most likely to be mislabelled. • The seafood fraud identified by this research has direct negative impacts for consumers. It is clear that for some species sampled consumers were likely to be paying more than they should. For example, more than half of the eel and skate samples that were labelled domestic were actually found to be imported, which can cost only half of the price of domestic products. Swordfish mislabelled as Bluefin Tuna can be sold for four to five times as much.
