Offshore Fish Identification Cards for Small-Scale Fishermen Offshore fish identification cards for small-scale fishermen © Secretariat of the Pacific Community, 2013 These identification cards are produced by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) to help improve catch data and statistics from small-scale vessels that regularly target pelagic species. With a better understanding of small-scale vessel catches, regional fisheries managers can ensure that migratory stocks are better managed throughout the range of the stocks and that small-scale fishers get more recognition and support for their contribution to food security and employment at the local community level. The most likely users of these cards are small-scale fishers who actively target pelagic stocks, along with fishery officers who are tasked with monitoring these fisheries. Fisheries training institutions and fishing communities are other potential users. Printing of these cards was made possible through financial assistance provided by AusAID. Project co-ordination done by the Oceanic Fisheries Programme Fisheries Monitoring Section and the Fisheries Information Section, SPC. Colour illustrations by Jipé Le-Bars (juvenile tunas), Hazel Adams (bullet tuna, frigate tuna and rough triggerfish), Rachel O’Shea (yellowtail amberjack) and Les Hata (all others); black and white illustrations courtesy of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

O. Box 56, 35200 Telde, Canary Islands, Spain Abstract Bone and fins development in Seriola rivoliana were studied from cleared and stained specimens from 3 to 33 days after hatching. The vertebral column began to mineralize in the neural arches at 4.40 ± 0.14 mm Standard Length (SL), continued with the haemal arches and centrums following a cranial-caudal direction. Mineralization of the caudal fin structures started with the caudal rays by 5.12 ± 0.11 mm SL, at the same time that the notochord flexion occurs. The first dorsal and anal fin structures were the hard spines (S), and lepidotrichium (R) by 8.01 ± 0.26 mm SL. The metamorphosis was completed by 11.82 ± 0.4 mm SL. Finally, the fin supports (pterygiophores) and the caudal fins were completely mineralized by 16.1 ± 0.89 mm SL. In addition, the meristic data of 23 structures were provided.

  • Introduction Tunas and Other Large Highly-Migratory Species
    CHAPTER 1: AUTHOR: LAST UPDATE: OVERVIEW SECRETARIAT Jan. 25, 2006 1. Overview 1.1 What is ICCAT? Introduction Tunas and other large highly-migratory species are typically assessed and managed through international arrangements. Since the distribution of such stocks is not limited to the waters of any single sovereign nation, such arrangements are necessary in order to share the available research and fishery information. The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas is responsible for the conservation of tunas and tuna-like species in the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas. The organization was established at a Conference of Plenipotentiaries, which prepared and adopted the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas signed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1966. After a ratification process, the Convention entered formally into force in 1969. The official languages of ICCAT are English, French and Spanish. The Commission's work requires the collection and analysis of statistical information relative to current conditions and trends of the fishery resources in the Convention. About 30 species are covered by the Convention: Atlantic bluefin (Thunnus thynnus thynnus), yellowfin (Thunnus albacares), albacore (Thunnus alalunga), bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) and skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis); swordfish (Xiphias gladius); billfishes such as white marlin (Tetrapturus albidus), blue marlin (Makaira nigricans), sailfish (Istiophorus albicans) and spearfish (Tetrapturus pfluegeri & T. belone); mackerels such as spotted Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus maculatese) and king mackerel (Scomberomorus cavalla); and, small tunas like black skipjack (Euthynnus alletteratus), frigate tuna (Auxis thazard), and Atlantic bonito (Sarda sarda). Southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) is also part of the Convention, although currently the primary responsibility for assessing and managing this species rests with the Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT).
