To His Excellency Sm GEORGE CuMINE STRAHAN, Knigltt Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael rmd Saint George, Governor and Commander-in- Chief in and over the Colony of Tasmania. MAY IT PLEASE Youn ExcELLENCY. WE, the Mem hers of the Royal Commission appointed on the 30th January last to enquire into the Fisheries of the Colony of Tasmania, the Laws relating to the preservation of Fish, and to what extent the Fisheries of the said Colony have been or are injuriously affected hy sea-fishing within Tasmanian waters by vessels from other Colonies, have the honor to report to Your Excellency as follows:- , Since our appointment we have held forty-one meetings,-at Hobart, Launceston, the Salmon Ponds on the Plenty, New Norfolk, and Bridgewater-and we have altogether personally examined thirty-two witnesses. We have also preparrd tabulated enquiry circulars which were forwarded to eighty-three persons throughout the Island who from their special or local knowledge were in our judgment best fitted to give or procure reliable information on all matters relating to Fish and Fisheries in their neighbourhood. These circulars have been well responded to, and they contain in many instances valuable suggestions, which are treated of under the various classified sections of this Report. We have also derived much advantage in our enquiries in being able to consult the following Reports, &c. ; viz. :- 1. Report of the New South Wales Royal Commission to enquire into the actual state and prospect of the Fisheries of that Colony. 2. Report of the New South Wales Oyster Commission of 1877. 3. Various yearly Reports of Inspectors relating to the Sea and Inland Fisheries of Great Britain and Ireland. 4. Parliamentary Paper, House of Assemhly, Tasmania, 1873, No. 80, "History of the Introduction of Salmonidre into Tasmania," by Mr. Morton Allport. We have specially to mention the excellent Report of the Fisheries Inquiry Commission of New South Wales, whose mode of enquiry seemed to us to be s.o admirably arranged that we have thought it best to follow their example as closely as the special nature of local enquiries would admit. One of our number (Mr. Johnston), at our request, has most willingly placed at our disposal the manuscript of a paper prepared by him for the Hoyal Society of 'l'asmania, entitled " General and Critical Observations on the Fishes of Tasmania, with a complete Catalogue of all the known Species." This manuscript has been of considerable service to us in conducting our enquiries; and as it exhaustively treats of one of the principal divisions of our Report,-viz., "Our Fishes,"-we have thought it better to append it to this Report as a special amplification of this important division. This arrangement also gives us the advantage of eliminating from the general' remarks matters which, though of great importance as regards the natural history of fishes, are only indirectly related to the main objects of our enquiry. Obviously, in matters of inference which lie beyond simple and direct observation, the opinions of witnesses examined are often conflicting: occasionally, too, we may have to make allowances for the expression of opinion where self-interest is immediately concerned; but, upon the whole, we have to acknowledge that there is a wonderful unanimity of opinion among the many witnesses examined upon all matters coming more directly within the scope of ordinary experience and simple observation, some of which matters have an important bearing upon the most vital questions affecting the future of the fishing industries of Tasmania. Fishes und-ergo so many changes from the stage when the ovum is voided or deposited up to the fully developed condition of the mature individual, that it is only the most intelligent who can mark them ; and those whose interest it is to specially protect the fishing industry are often, by ignorance of the natural history of our most important market fishes, the principal agents in accomplishing the impoverishment or the total destruction of the sources of their own industry. V • For example : Although the mature individuals of such an important market fish as the Silver · Bastard Trumpeter (Latris Forsteri) are in a great measure naturally protected by the depth of water and the limits of the more injurious modes of capture by man, yet the young fry of the same species naturally seek the upper ·shallows for food, and possibly as protection from their natural enemies. ,In ·this· stage, however, they are very _unlike the adult form, and are, moreover, exposed to a new ,danger which is difficult for them to escape, in the shave of the destructive seine net. Left to natural ·:enemies, and to less barbarous modes of capture, the sources of our principal market fishes would not, as at present, be almost wholly destroyed where the seine net is freely employed. From considerations of this kind it must be apparent that, as the necessary foundation of any practical enquiry, we should study something of the natural history of the fishes which form our market supply if we would hope to effect any practical good in the direction of development and protection. Hence it is of so much importance to learn accurately of each species-its migratory habits; its seasons; the time, mode, and place of spawning; the nursery-grounds of the young fry; their natural en~mies; their feeding-grounds in the adult stage; their vitality in imprisonment, as in the wells of boats, &c.

    RESTORATION POTENTIAL FOR REPRODUCTION BY STRIPED BASS (Morone saxatilis) IN THE SAINT JOHN RIVER, NEW BRUNSWICK by Samuel Nelson Andrews Previous Degrees (BSc, Dalhousie, 2012) (MSc, Acadia University, 2014) A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Academic Unit of Biology Supervisors: R.

This listing was due to an apparent rapid collapse and subsequent absence of presumed native origin Striped Bass, juvenile recruitment, and spawning by the species following the completion of the large Mactaquac Dam in 1968. Expert reports hypothesized that alteration in the river flow and temperature regime imposed upon the Saint John River downstream from the Mactaquac Dam were responsible for the disappearance, however, no recovery efforts or exploratory studies were conducted, and the native Striped Bass population was deemed extinct. This dissertation explored the collapse of the Saint John River Striped Bass starting with a complete historic perspective of the species in the Saint John River and concluded with a possible means to recover the population that was once believed to be lost.

  • 50 Rhythm of the Sea CHAPTER 5 ECONOMIC SECTORS 51
    50 Rhythm of the Sea CHAPTER 5 ECONOMIC SECTORS 51 Chapter 5 ECONOMIC SECTORS he economy of northwestern Bohol is not well diversified and resulting incomes are low. Reliance on the sea and land makes changes in the natural base of the area readily apparent in local incomes. Fisheries and agriculture are the mainstays of the local economy, while smaller t industries have yet to make a substantial impact. Ecotourism and well- managed aquaculture have income-generating potential but have gained foothold only recently. FISHERIES Fisherfolk's Attitudes and Beliefs Fishing is a subsistence livelihood in the profile area and many people start to work in the sea in their younger years. Quite seasonal, fishing peaks from March to June when there are large runs of pelagics (Spanish mackerels, scads, etc.) mostly in the south, east and west of Bohol. The fisherfolk observe that most species are gravid during this period and that, because the weather is calm and the water is warm, the fish rise to the water surface. During this period also, fishers from Mindanao are sighted within the province’s seawater boundary. On the other hand, the subsistence fishermen just look at the sky or feel the wind to know whether or not the time is right for fishing. Christmas day, Good Friday and other religious holidays are no-fishing days in Bohol. Fishing on Sundays is also sometimes frowned upon, although many people go to the beach with the family and catch fish for kinilaw (raw fish dipped in vinegar, salt and spices). 52 Rhythm of the Sea Most fisherfolk and their households are superstitious.

  • A Complete Compendium of Practical Advice to Guide Those Who Angle for All Fishes in Fresh and Sa
    :r^<::r i THE BOOK OF FISH AND FISHING Il "-\ Copyright, 1908, by CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS Published June, 1908 TO MY WIFE- NO FISHER— BUT FOR WHOSE ASSISTANCE I COULD NOT BE ONE PREFACE The object of this book is to inform anglers about every kind of fresh -water and especially marine fish — "much in little." Those fish not angled for are left out, and scientific names and descriptions are not considered. Of the thou- sands of fish in American waters, I have selected only those best known for gameness and economic value, so that the veriest tyro can be informed about angling methods and any equipment he should need without trouble, time, and expense in searching other works. First and last, I have tried to make an all-round pocket guide—an encyclopaedia of facts—the easiest and best ways, how to catch, where to go, and how to get the best sport. To avoid monotonous repetition, the writer deemed it wise to plan the book under sub-divided headings and to combine the various fish in groups and collate the methods of taking them so that they can be seen at a glance. Complete infor- mation concerning each fish is not, therefore, con- fined to a single chapter, but occurs under various headings, as shown in the Contents, page xi. The writer has, all his life, been much at- tached to the sport of angling, and circumstances vii Preface have permitted him to indulge in that passion to a greater extent and over a wider field than either time or opportunity would probably have allowed most anglers.

  • Oral History Interview Ron Marcoux July 2016 Interview
    ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW RON MARCOUX JULY 2016 INTERVIEW CONDUCTED FOR FISHERIES DIVISION MONTANA FISH, WILDLIFE AND PARKS HELENA MONTANA INTERVIEW CONDUCTED BY MARGIE PETERSON INTERVIEWER: This is Margie Peterson. I am a Certified Oral Historian and will be conducting and transcribing the interviews. Today is Friday, June 10, 2016. I am doing the Oral History Project for Fisheries and I’m interviewing Ron Marcoux at his home in Helena. So Ron would you like to start with your biographical data, when you grew up, where you went to school and a little bit about your parents and family. MARCOUX: I was born in 1942 in Rochester, New Hampshire. My folks ran country stores through the years. We started in Farmington, New Hampshire and ultimately moved up to Maine when I was 12 years old. Pretty well what I call home was Maine. I lived in a little town of West Minot, Maine with the church steeple, grange hall, and country store that my Dad ran so I had a lot of experience dealing with people at the store.
