Alfonsino Species Sheet ALFONSINO Beryx splendens Alfonsino have a firm white flesh with high oil content. Alfonsino is suitable for most cooking methods. Wild caught Alfonsino from New Zealand are caught all year round, at a depth of 200-800m. All Sealord Alfonsino are from sustainable and well managed fisheries.

We continue to evolve our processes and undertake research to ensure we manage fisheries with the best practices and quality of scientific information available. The Quota Management System (QMS) has been operating in New Zealand for over thirty years, solidifying New Zealand’s reputation as a world leader in sustainable fisheries management. It ensures that our fisheries resources are not over-fished and that our seafood will be available for generations to come. It is one of the most extensive quota-based fisheries management systems in the world, with over 100 species or species complexes managed within this framework.

Piscat. 46 (4): 287–291. Background. The study is a contribution to Project CELFISH which involves genetic identifi cation of populations of fi sh species presenting a particular economic importance or having a potential to be used in the so-called commercial substitutions. The EU fi sh trade has been showing a distinct trend of more and more fi sh species previously unknown to consumers being placed on the market. Molecular assays have become the only way with which to verify the reliability of exporters. This paper is aimed at pinpointing genetic markers with which to label and differentiate between two populations of splendid alfonsino, Beryx splendens Lowe, 1834, a species highly attractive to consumers in Asia and Oceania due to the meat taste and low fat content. Material and methods. DNA was isolated from fragments of fi ns collected at local markets in Japan (MJ) (n = 10) and New Zealand (MNZ) (n = 18). The rhodopsin gene (RH1) fragment and 16 microsatellite DNA fragments (SSR) were analysed in all the individuals.

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.

  • LESSON 2 DNA Barcoding and the Barcode of Life Database
    LESSON 2 DNA Barcoding 2 and the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD) Introduction In this lesson, students will receive an “unknown” DNA sequence and use the bioinformatics tool Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) to identify the species from which the sequence came. Students then visit the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD) to obtain taxonomic information about their species and form taxonomic groups for scientific collaboration. The lesson ends with each student generating a hypothesis about the relatedness of the species within each group. In Lesson Two, students also learn how postdoctoral scientists in DNA and history might use bioinformatics tools in their career. Learning Objectives Class Time At the end of this lesson, students will know that: 1 class period of 50 minutes if Student • Bioinformatics tools are used by people in many different career fields, Reading is assigned as homework; including postdoctoral scientists in DNA and history. otherwise 2 class periods of 50 • Bioinformatics tools such as BLAST and databases like the National Center for minutes each.

  • Alfonsino (Byx)
    ALFONSINO (BYX) ALFONSINO (BYX) (Beryx splendens, B. decadactylus) BYS BYD 1. FISHERY SUMMARY Alfonsino was introduced into the Quota Management System (QMS) on 1 October 1986, with allowances, TACCs and TACs in Table 1. Table 1: Recreational and Customary non-commercial allowances, TACCs and TACs for alfonsino by Fishstock. Fishstock Recreational Allowance Customary non-commercial TACC TAC allowance BYX 1 2 2 300 304 BYX 2 - - 1 575 1 575 BYX 3 - - 1 010 1 010 BYX 7 - - 80.5 80.5 BYX 8 - - 20 20 BYX 10 - - 10 10 1.1 Commercial fisheries Alfonsino has supported a major mid-water target trawl fishery off the east coast of the North Island since 1983 and is a minor bycatch of other trawl fisheries around New Zealand. The original gazetted TACs were based on the 1983–84 landings except for BYX 10 which was administratively set. Recent reported domestic landings and actual TACCs are shown in Table 1, while Figure 1 shows the historical landings and TACC values for the main BYX stocks. Alfonsino landings in New Zealand consist almost entirely of one species, Beryx splendens: the other species, B. decadactylus, is thought to make up less than 1% of landings. Before 1983 alfonsino were virtually unfished, but two main fisheries now exist in New Zealand. The first to develop was the lower east coast North Island fishery (BYX 2), which developed in the mid-1980s. The other is the eastern Chatham Rise fishery (BYX 3), which developed in the mid-1990s. Alfonsino are caught throughout the New Zealand EEZ but only in small quantities outside of the east coast North Island and eastern Chatham Rise fisheries.

  • Application of Surplus-Production Models to Splendid Alfonsin Stock in the Southern Emperor and Northern Hawaiian Ridge (SE-NHR)
    Appendix C Application of Surplus-Production Models to Splendid Alfonsin Stock in the Southern Emperor and Northern Hawaiian Ridge (SE-NHR) Akira NISHIMURA1 and Akihiko YATSU 2 1 Hokkaido National Fisheries Research Institute, Fisheries Research Agency, Japan 2 Seikai National Fisheries Research Institute, Fisheries Research Agency, Japan The Japanese trawlers commenced exploratory fishing operations in the Southern Emperor and Northern Hawaiian Ridge (SE-NHR) in 1969, and the trawl fishery have been developed after then. In this area, 2 to 13 trawlers have been conducting fishing activities every year, targeting mainly North Pacific armorhead (Pseudopentaceros wheeleri) and splendid alfonsino (Beryx splendens). The fisheries are the important component of the ecosystem in the fishing ground, and understanding the impacts of the fisheries is important for the sustainable use of the aquatic resources. To estimate the management benchmarks, first attempt has been made to apply surplus production model to the splendid alfonsino stock in SE-NHR (Nishimura & Yatsu, 2006). This paper describe the results from two different surplus-production model program runs with using unadjusted/adjusted CPUE, and with using catch statistics from Japan, Korea, and USSR/Russia. 1. Catch and CPUE data Japanese fishery statistics in SE-NHR were complied by the Far Seas Fisheries Research Institute (Shimizu) and Hokkaido National Fisheries Research Institute (Kushiro) based on operation records submitted to the Fisheries Agency of Japan from commercial fishing vessels (Yanagimoto and Nishimura, 2007). Korea and USSR/Russia catch data of alfonsino was also prepared by Korea and Russian Institutes. These data sets of alfonsino were submitted to the Science Working Group of NWPBT meetings, and these data sets were combined and used for the following analyses.
