Shrimp Fishing in Mexico
235 Shrimp fishing in Mexico Based on the work of D. Aguilar and J. Grande-Vidal AN OVERVIEW Mexico has coastlines of 8 475 km along the Pacific and 3 294 km along the Atlantic Oceans. Shrimp fishing in Mexico takes place in the Pacific, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean, both by artisanal and industrial fleets. A large number of small fishing vessels use many types of gear to catch shrimp. The larger offshore shrimp vessels, numbering about 2 212, trawl using either two nets (Pacific side) or four nets (Atlantic). In 2003, shrimp production in Mexico of 123 905 tonnes came from three sources: 21.26 percent from artisanal fisheries, 28.41 percent from industrial fisheries and 50.33 percent from aquaculture activities. Shrimp is the most important fishery commodity produced in Mexico in terms of value, exports and employment. Catches of Mexican Pacific shrimp appear to have reached their maximum. There is general recognition that overcapacity is a problem in the various shrimp fleets. DEVELOPMENT AND STRUCTURE Although trawling for shrimp started in the late 1920s, shrimp has been captured in inshore areas since pre-Columbian times. Magallón-Barajas (1987) describes the lagoon shrimp fishery, developed in the pre-Hispanic era by natives of the southeastern Gulf of California, which used barriers built with mangrove sticks across the channels and mouths of estuaries and lagoons. The National Fisheries Institute (INP, 2000) and Magallón-Barajas (1987) reviewed the history of shrimp fishing on the Pacific coast of Mexico. It began in 1921 at Guaymas with two United States boats. -

NMFS 2010 Essential Fish Habitat, TN186
Essential Fish Habitat: A Marine Fish Habitat Conservation Mandate For Federal Agencies Gulf of Mexico Region National Marine Fisheries Service Habitat Conservation Division Southeast Regional Office 263 13th Avenue S. St. Petersburg, FL 33701 727/824-5317 REV. 09/2010 1 Executive Summary The 1996 amendments to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) set forth a new mandate for NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), regional fishery management councils (FMC), and other federal agencies to identify and protect important marine and anadromous fish habitat. The essential fish habitat (EFH) provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Act support one of the nation’s overall marine resource management goals - maintaining sustainable fisheries. Essential to achieving this goal is the maintenance of suitable marine fishery habitat quality and quantity. The FMCs, with assistance from NMFS, have delineated EFH for federally managed species. As new fishery management plans (FMPs) are developed, EFH for newly managed species will be defined as well. Federal action agencies which fund, permit, or carry out activities that may adversely affect EFH are required to consult with NMFS regarding the potential impacts of their actions on EFH and respond in writing to NMFS or FMC recommendations. In addition, NMFS and the FMCs may comment on and make recommendations to any state agency on their activities that may affect EFH. Measures recommended by NMFS or an FMC to protect EFH are advisory, not proscriptive. On December 19, 1997, interim final rules, which specified procedures for implementation of the EFH provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, were published in the Federal Register. -

Cypris settled predominantly on the carapace (67%), mostly on the gastric area (40%), on the left or right orbital areas (35%), on the head appendages, and on the pereiopods 1–3. Encrusting individuals were mostly small (84%); medium-sized specimens accounted for 11% and large for 5%. On the cephalothorax, most were observed in branchial (661) and orbital areas (240). Only 40–41 individuals were found on gastric and cardiac areas. Some individuals (246), mostly small (95%), were observed on the dorsal portion of somites. -

Locus Number Estimation of MHC Class II B in Stone Flounder and Japanese Flounder

Academic Editor: Ritva Tikkanen Received: 2 December 2014 / Accepted: 25 December 2014 / Published: 13 March 2015 Abstract: Members of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) family are important in immune systems. Great efforts have been made to reveal their complicated gene structures. But many existing studies focus on partial sequences of MHC genes. In this study, by gene cloning and sequencing, we identified cDNA sequences and DNA sequences of the MHC class II B in two flatfishes, stone flounder (Kareius bicoloratus) and homozygous diploid Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Eleven cDNA sequences were acquired from eight stone flounder individuals, and most of the polymorphic sites distributed in exons 2 and 3. Twenty-eight alleles were identified from the DNA fragments in these eight individuals. It could be deduced from their Bayesian inference phylogenetic tree that at least four loci of MHC class II B exist in stone flounder. The detailed whole-length DNA sequences in one individual were analyzed, revealing that the intron length varied among different loci. -

However, when reared in captivity, male and female spotted halibut do not usually mature synchronously. Maintaining production of this commercial fish in hatcheries through sperm cryopreservation is important. This study investigated the effect of several factors for successful cryopreservation of fish sperm including cryoprotective agents (CPAs), diluents, dilution ratios (Milt: CPA + diluents), and freezing rates. The observed factors significantly affected movable sperm ratio (MSR), sperm activity index (SAI), survival rate, and DNA damage after cryopreservation. In the present study, the mixture of 15% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) + 300 mM sucrose with a dilution ratio lower than 1:2 and a freezing rate slower than 5 C/min provided the best treatment and reduced DNA damage.
