Gilroy The removals of halibut off the Pacifi c coast totaled 84 million pounds in 2008. This is lower than in recent yeas as the catch has exceeded 90 million pounds annually since 1997. The removals include commercial catch, sport catch, bycatch mortality, personal use, wastage, and International Pacifi c Halibut Commission (IPHC or Commission) research catch (Table 1). In addition to data compiled by the IPHC, other sources of halibut data include federal and state agencies. All 2008 data are net weight and considered preliminary at this time. When the Commission was established in 1923 to manage and conserve the halibut resource, the commercial fi shery, which dates back to the late 1800s, was the primary source of removals. Currently, the commercial catch continues to represent the largest removal. Through the years, estimates of other removals have been added progressively: bycatch mortality in the 1960s, sport catch in the late 1970s, wastage in the 1980s, and personal use (subsistence) in the 1990s. All legal and sublegal-sized halibut removals are estimated and tracked as part of the total removals and are accounted for in the IPHC’s harvest policy and stock assessment. The legal-size limit for the commercial halibut fi shery is 32 inches or greater. Accurate reporting of removals is essential to stock assessment and for determining the recommended allowable catch. Removals are estimated most accurately using a scale weight, such as with the commercial fi shery, or a scientifi cally-based estimation procedure. Over the years, the Commission has worked with different agencies to improve the estimation procedures in attempting to accurately account for all removals. Personal use removals include the Washington State treaty tribal ceremonial and subsistence fi shery, the British Columbia Food, Social, and Ceremonial (FSC) fi shery, and the Alaska subsistence fi shery. The FSC fi shery catch had been estimated at 300,000 pounds since 1993 but in 2008 a new estimate of 405,000 pounds was provided by the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). The new FSC catch estimate is a sum of all allocations within the FSC communal licenses including recent treaty settlements (Gary Logan, DFO, pers. comm.). The Alaska subsistence has been just over 1 million pounds since the implementation of the program in 2003. Wastage accounts for the loss of halibut from the commercial fi shery. It includes legal-sized halibut killed by lost and abandoned longline gear and a proportion of the sublegal-sized halibut that are discarded due to regulation and die. In 2008, the removals for commercial catch, sport catch, bycatch mortality, personal use, wastage, and IPHC research were 57.9, 10.8, 10.6, 1.5, 2.5, and 0.7 million pounds respectively. This report reviews commercial and sport fi sheries, bycatch mortality estimates, and progress on the allocation programs by each country. Allocation programs and totals The authority for allocation among the user groups in each country is the responsibility of each national government. Currently, both the United States and Canadian governments have allocation plans within a single regulatory area or within smaller local areas. For Area 2B, DFO has had an allocation framework for the commercial and recreational sectors since 2005, where the recreational sector is allocated a 12 percent “ceiling” of a combined commercial/recreational 5 2009 IPHC ANNUAL MEETING HANDOUT catch limit. When managed to the allocation ceilings, both sectors’ catch will fl uctuate with stock abundance. For 2008, the Commission adopted a catch limit for Area 2B of 9.0 million pounds for the combined recreational and commercial fi sheries. An additional 19,000 pounds was added for the projected commercial fi shery wastage, resulting in a total catch limit of 9.019 million pounds. DFO then allocated to the commercial fl eet 88 percent of the total catch limit and reduced it by 19,000 pounds to account for the wastage, which resulted in the commercial allocation of 7,917,720 pounds. In 2007, the underage/overage program resulted in a 337,674 pound surplus roll-over to the 2008 catch limit, for an adjusted 2008 commercial fi shery catch limit of 8,255,394 pounds. The remaining 1.082 million pounds of the combined catch limit was allocated to the recreational sector. The 2008 combined commercial and sport catch was 8,000 pounds under the combined adjusted catch limit (Table 2). For managing the sport charter fi sheries in Areas 2C and 3A, the North Pacifi c Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) adopted a Guideline Harvest Level (GHL) program, which went into effect in September, 2003. The GHL program included a provision that the GHL declines by specifi ed increments if halibut abundance declines, but the GHL will not increase above the original level. In 2008, the Area 2C GHL of 931,000 pounds was exceeded by over 100 percent and the Area 3A sport charter fi shery harvest was very close to the GHL (Table 3). The NPFMC has recently adopted a Catch Sharing Plan (CSP) to allocate between the commercial and sport charter sectors in Areas 2C and 3A. The CSP has specifi c allocations which vary depending on the magnitude of a combined commercial/sport charter catch limit adopted by the Commission. It is unlikely that any plan will be

  • Dear Teacher: During the What About Whales
    Dear Teacher: During the What About Whales assembly program one of our education staff members will introduce students to several whale and dolphin species found in Pacific waters. Using a PowerPoint presentation, life-sized inflatable whales, bones, teeth and baleen, students will learn characteristics of marine mammals and understand the differences between toothed and baleen whales. Before your assembly program: Ask students to list the characteristics of mammals and give examples. Compare the living conditions of a marine mammal with those of a terrestrial mammal. Where do they sleep? How do they get their food? What do they eat? What environmental conditions must they be adapted to? Compare and contrast humans and whales in the Where Do Whales Fit In? activity. Conduct the Measuring Whales activity. Using a tape measure, have your students measure out the length of each animal. After your assembly program: Conduct the Where Do Whales Fit In? activity again to see if students’ thing of additional classification characteristics. Conduct the The Wonder of Blubber activity to discuss one of many whale adaptations for life in the ocean. Lead a classroom discussion using the enclosed Dilemmas card activity. Review the difference between endangered and threatened species with your class. Several species of whales (sei, fin, sperm, blue, humpback and right) are currently listed as endangered in the state of Oregon. Ask students to consider what actions they can take to prevent further loss of these species. Participating in this program and using the pre and post curriculum will help your students meet Oregon science standards and Ocean Literacy Principles.

  • Evaluating the Fatty Acid Signature Technique for Studies of Diet Composition in Piscivorous Waterbirds
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Anne Mary Myers for the degree of Master of Science in Wildlife Science presented on March 5, 2007. Title: Evaluating the Fatty Acid Signature Technique for Studies of Diet Composition in Piscivorous Waterbirds. Abstract approved: ________________________________________________________________________ Daniel D. Roby This research was designed to evaluate the Fatty Acid Signature (FAS) technique as a non-lethal alternative to more traditional, and sometimes destructive, methods of studying the diet composition of piscivorous birds. Specifically we tested the technique with Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) which currently nest in large numbers in the Columbia River estuary and are known to consume juvenile salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.) listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. From captive feeding trials conducted with Caspian tern chicks, we determined that FASs of the birds reflected differences in their diets. After 20 days of being fed consistently mixed or monotypic diets of two fish types, chicks displayed different adipose tissue FASs between all 4 diet treatments. When diets were changed, adipose tissue FASs reflected the shift in diet treatments within two weeks. Fatty acid (FA)- specific calibration coefficients (FA level in the consumer divided by FA level in the food) were calculated for Caspian terns fed monotypic diets for 34 days; some calibration coefficients varied in association with diet and age of the terns, and also differed between terns and common murres (Uria aalge), whose calibration coefficients were measured in a separate study. Variation in FA-specific calibration coefficients may be problematic for obtaining accurate estimates of diet composition in piscivorous birds using the Quantitative Fatty Acid Signature (QFASA) technique.
