  • Issue Statement the Antarctic the Antarctic Continent and Surrounding Southern Ocean Support Unique Terrestrial Ecosystems and S
    Issue Statement The Antarctic The Antarctic continent and surrounding Southern Ocean support unique terrestrial ecosystems and some of the world's most biologically productive neritic and pelagic food webs. At the base of the pelagic food web are Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), a planktonic crustacean, with an estimated productivity of several billion tons annually. Krill, either directly or indirectly, provide food for most whales, seals, fish, squid, and seabirds that breed in or migrate to the Southern Ocean each year. Small-scale krill fisheries were first established in the 1960s, with several more initiated in the 1980s. Catches since 2010 averaged around 200,000 tons annually, in response to worldwide demand for more protein coupled with advances in technology, prompting concerns about the sustainability of these fisheries, especially considering climate change. In the neritic system, toothfish (Dissostichus spp.) (a key prey species of seals and Orcas) and minke whales (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) are currently the subjects of exploitation. In 1986, the International Whaling Commission placed a moratorium on commercial minke whaling, although the mammals may be killed for research purposes. From 1986 until 2018, Japan continued to harvest minke whales under this exception, with annual catches >500 between 1997 and 2008. In late 2018, Japan announced its intention to withdraw from the International Whaling Commission and resume commercial whaling. Fisheries for the Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) (also called Antarctic cod) and Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) (also called Chilean Seabass) are regulated by the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). Both are currently harvested, but there are concerns that the illegal catch far outweighs that permitted by the CCAMLR and could jeopardize sustainability of both species.

Selection force analysis in seven Sillago species detected 44 genes positively selected relative to other Perciform fishes. The results of the present study can be used as a reference for the further adaptive evolution study of Sillago species. Abstract: Sillago species lives in the demersal environments and face multiple stressors, such as localized oxygen depletion, sulfide accumulation, and high turbidity. In this study, we performed transcriptome analyses of seven Sillago species to provide insights into the phylogeny and positively selected genes of this species. After de novo assembly, 82,024, 58,102, 63,807, 85,990, 102,185, 69,748, and 102,903 unigenes were generated from S. japonica, S. aeolus, S. sp.1, S. sihama, S. sp.2, S. parvisquamis, and S. sinica, respectively. Furthermore, 140 shared orthologous exon markers were identified and then applied to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships of the seven Sillago species. The reconstructed phylogenetic structure was significantly congruent with the prevailing morphological and molecular biological view of Sillago species relationships.

  • Post Cards from the 6Th Mass Extinction
    TRANSCRIPT POST CARDS FROM THE 6TH MASS EXTINCTION Bluefin Tunas and the Problem of Overfishing Hi I’m John Rafferty, I am the editor for Earth Sciences at Encyclopaedia Britannica, and today we are talking about the decline in fish stocks, specifically that of the Atlantic and Pacific Bluefin tunas. These are commercial fishes, which were once considered to be the same species. Bluefin tunas are arguably overfished (meaning that more of them are being netted than their reproductive rate can replace). We will also get into the problem of overfishing in general. Spend some time with us today, and we’ll explore the natural history of Bluefin tunas, the threats to their long-term survival (how their populations today are but a tiny fraction of what they once were), and overfishing as an unsustainable practice that threatens these species but also several others around the globe. By the way, if you miss something during this talk, you can find it again our website. PROLOGUE: Natural History: The genus Thunnus is made up of seven species of oceanic fishes, some very large, and these are the ones that possess a great commercial value as food. Tunas are elongated, robust, and streamlined fishes; they have a rounded body that tapers to a slender tail base and a forked or crescent-shaped tail. In colour, tunas are generally dark above and silvery below, often with an iridescent shine. Another notable feature is a well-developed network of blood vessels below the skin that acts as a temperature-regulating device associated with long-term, slow swimming.

  • Improving Monitoring and Control of the Krill Fishery
    CCAMLR-XXV/BG xx October 2006 Original: English Agenda Item 4, 7 & 10 IMPROVING MONITORING AND CONTROL OF THE KRILL FISHERY THE ANTARCTIC AND SOUTHERN OCEAN COALITION (ASOC) _______________ This paper is presented for consideration by CCAMLR and may contain unpublished data, analyses, and/or conclusions subject to change. Data contained in this paper should not be cited or used for purposes other than the work of the CCAMLR Commission, Scientific Committee, or their subsidiary bodies without the permission of the originators/owners of the data. IMPROVING MONITORING AND CONTROL OF THE KRILL FISHERY I. Introduction – CCAMLR and krill Ecosystem management of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a central task for CCAMLR. The Scientific Committee, through its Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management (WG- EMM), is developing management procedures on krill aimed at ensuring that ecological relationships between harvested, dependent and related populations are maintained, according to Article II 3 (b) of the Convention. In addition, CCAMLR’s Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) provides information on the status of the different components of the ecosystem to be incorporated into these management procedures. Regrettably, the quality and magnitude of CCAMLR’s scientific work on krill is rarely matched by action at the Commission level to provide the necessary tools to allow adequate monitoring and control of the fishery. A review of the reports of the Scientific Committee and the Commission from the past thirteen years has been recently conducted in order to assess the profile of krill-related discussions in their respective agendas. Discussions of krill and toothfish (Dissostichus spp.), currently the highest profile species under CCAMLR management, were compared.

  • Management of the Antarctic Krill: Ensuring the Conservation of the Antarctic Marine Ecosystem
    SC- CCAMLR-XXIII/BG… October 2004 Original: English CC Agenda Item 4 (i) MANAGEMENT OF THE ANTARCTIC KRILL: ENSURING THE CONSERVATION OF THE ANTARCTIC MARINE ECOSYSTEM PRESENTED BY THE ANTARCTIC AND SOUTHERN OCEAN COALITION (ASOC) The Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition _______________ This paper is presented for consideration by CCAMLR and may contain unpublished data, analyses, and/or conclusions subject to change. Data contained in this paper should not be cited or used for purposes other than the work of the CCAMLR Commission, Scientific Committee, or their subsidiary bodies without the permission of the originators/owners of the data. 1. Introduction Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) is central to the Antarctic marine food web, as most organisms are either direct predators of krill or are just one trophic level removed from krill. Traditional, single-species fisheries management principles are not applicable to the Antarctic krill fishery due to the key role of this species in the Southern Ocean food web. A multi-species management approach is necessary to take into account potential impacts on krill dependent predators and the Antarctic marine environment as a whole, in case of an expansion of the krill fishery. The Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) has developed an “ecosystem approach” which represents an important step forward with regards to fisheries management, both scientifically and politically. Although krill catches in the Southern Ocean are currently well below CCAMLR catch limits, there is potential for a rapid expansion of the fishery in future years, as krill- processing technology develops and demand for krill products increases.
