  • The Biology and Ecology of Samson Fish Seriola Hippos
    The biology of Samson Fish Seriola hippos with emphasis on the sportfishery in Western Australia. By Andrew Jay Rowland This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University 2009 DECLARATION I declare that the information contained in this thesis is the result of my own research unless otherwise cited. ……………………………………………………. Andrew Jay Rowland 2 Abstract This thesis had two overriding aims. The first was to describe the biology of Samson Fish Seriola hippos and therefore extend the knowledge and understanding of the genus Seriola. The second was to uses these data to develop strategies to better manage the fishery and, if appropriate, develop catch-and-release protocols for the S. hippos sportfishery. Trends exhibited by marginal increment analysis in the opaque zones of sectioned S. hippos otoliths, together with an otolith of a recaptured calcein injected fish, demonstrated that these opaque zones represent annual features. Thus, as with some other members of the genus, the number of opaque zones in sectioned otoliths of S. hippos are appropriate for determining age and growth parameters of this species. Seriola hippos displayed similar growth trajectories to other members of the genus. Early growth in S. hippos is rapid with this species reaching minimum legal length for retention (MML) of 600mm TL within the second year of life. After the first 5 years of life growth rates of each sex differ, with females growing faster and reaching a larger size at age than males. Thus, by 10, 15 and 20 years of age, the predicted fork lengths (and weights) for females were 1088 (17 kg), 1221 (24 kg) and 1311 mm (30 kg), respectively, compared with 1035 (15 kg), 1124 (19 kg) and 1167 mm (21 kg), respectively for males.

    Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde A, Neue Serie 2: 1–168; Stuttgart, 30.IV.2009. 1 Annotated checklist of the fish species (Pisces) of La Réunion, including a Red List of threatened and declining species RONALD FR ICKE , THIE rr Y MULOCHAU , PA tr ICK DU R VILLE , PASCALE CHABANE T , Emm ANUEL TESSIE R & YVES LE T OU R NEU R Abstract An annotated checklist of the fish species of La Réunion (southwestern Indian Ocean) comprises a total of 984 species in 164 families (including 16 species which are not native). 65 species (plus 16 introduced) occur in fresh- water, with the Gobiidae as the largest freshwater fish family. 165 species (plus 16 introduced) live in transitional waters. In marine habitats, 965 species (plus two introduced) are found, with the Labridae, Serranidae and Gobiidae being the largest families; 56.7 % of these species live in shallow coral reefs, 33.7 % inside the fringing reef, 28.0 % in shallow rocky reefs, 16.8 % on sand bottoms, 14.0 % in deep reefs, 11.9 % on the reef flat, and 11.1 % in estuaries. 63 species are first records for Réunion. Zoogeographically, 65 % of the fish fauna have a widespread Indo-Pacific distribution, while only 2.6 % are Mascarene endemics, and 0.7 % Réunion endemics. The classification of the following species is changed in the present paper: Anguilla labiata (Peters, 1852) [pre- viously A. bengalensis labiata]; Microphis millepunctatus (Kaup, 1856) [previously M. brachyurus millepunctatus]; Epinephelus oceanicus (Lacepède, 1802) [previously E. fasciatus (non Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775)]; Ostorhinchus fasciatus (White, 1790) [previously Apogon fasciatus]; Mulloidichthys auriflamma (Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775) [previously Mulloidichthys vanicolensis (non Valenciennes in Cuvier & Valenciennes, 1831)]; Stegastes luteobrun- neus (Smith, 1960) [previously S.

    1 Indian J. Fish., 60(2) : 1-6, 2013 1 Length based growth and stock assessment of the longnose trevally Carangoides chrysophrys (Cuvier, 1833) from the Arabian Sea coast of Oman A. AL-MARZOUQI, N. JAYABALAN AND A. AL-NAHDI Marine Science and Fisheries Centre, Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries Wealth, P. O. Box 1546, P. C. 133, Muscat, Oman e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A study on the growth and stock assessment of the longnose trevally, Carangoides chrysophrys (Cuvier) was conducted using length-frequency data collected during April 2005 – March 2007 from the Arabian Sea coast of Oman. The size of C. chrysophrys in commercial catches ranged from 21 to 72 cm TL and about 52% of the fish belonged to the 0-1 year age group. The length-weight relationship was W = 0.0369L2.7123 (R2 = 0.967). The von Bertalanffy growth (VBG) parameters -1 estimated for the species were: L∞ = 75.6 cm, K = 0.47 y and t0 = -0.37 y, and the life span appeared to be 8-9 years. The annual total mortality (Z), natural mortality (M) and fishing mortality (F) coefficients stood at 1.2, 0.74 and 0.46, respectively. The exploitation rate (E) was 0.38. While the average standing stock was estimated at 2,633 t, the total stock was 4,455 t. The estimates of MSY varied from 1,363 to 1,580 t. At the current F, the Yw/R, TB/R and SSB/R were 236 g, 653 g and 364 g respectively. The study indicates scope for development of artisanal fishery for C.

Fisheries Occasional Publications No. 80, September 2010. ISSN: 1447 - 2058 ISBN: 1 921258 90 X Information about this guide he intention of the North Coast Fish Identification Guide is to provide a simple, Teasy to use manual to assist commercial, recreational, charter and customary fishers to identify the most commonly caught marine finfish species in the North Coast Bioregion. This guide is not intended to be a comprehensive taxonomic fish ID guide for all species. It is anticipated that this guide will assist fishers in providing a more comprehensive species level description of their catch and hence assist scientists and managers in understanding any variation in the species composition of catches over both spatial and temporal scales. Fish taxonomy is a dynamic and evolving field. Advances in molecular analytical techniques are resolving many of the relationships and inter-relationships among species, genera and families of fishes. In this guide, we have used and adopted the latest taxonomic nomenclature. Any changes to fish taxonomy will be updated and revised in subsequent editions. The North Coast Bioregion extends from the Ashburton River near Onslow to the Northern Territory border. Within this region there is a diverse range of habitats from mangrove creeks, rivers, offshore islands, coral reef systems to continental shelf and slope waters.

  • Differences in Trophic Resources and Niches of Two Juvenile Predatory Species in Three Pangani Estuarine Zones, Tanzania
    Mwijage et al. J of Biol Res-Thessaloniki (2018) 25:13 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40709-018-0084-4 Journal of Biological Research-Thessaloniki RESEARCH Open Access Diferences in trophic resources and niches of two juvenile predatory species in three Pangani estuarine zones, Tanzania: stomach contents and stable isotope approaches Alistidia Paul Mwijage1,2*, Daniel Abel Shilla2 and John Ferdinand Machiwa2 Abstract Background: Estuaries are primary habitats that serve as feeding and nursery grounds for most juvenile marine fsh. However, estuaries have been used as fshing grounds by the artisanal fshers in Tanzania. The slow-growing preda- tory fsh at juvenile and sub-adult stages are among the most frequently caught species that functionally enhance multiple linkages of energy pathways within the food web. Stomach contents and stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) were used to describe the nutritional sources and trophic niches between the co-existing benthic, predatory species, Carangoides chrysophrys and Epinephelus malabaricus in the Pangani estuary, Tanzania. Results: The fndings indicated signifcant inter-specifc variations in dietary composition (PERMANOVA, p 0.001, pseudo-F 15.81). The prey-specifc index of relative importance (%PSIRI) indicated that juvenile shrimps = (%PSIRI =51.4) and Teleostei (%PSIRI 26.5) were the main diets of C. chrysophrys while brachyura (%PSIRI 38.8), juvenile= shrimps (%PSIRI 25.6) and Teleostei= (%PSIRI 23.3) were important diets of E. malabaricus. The isotope= mix- ing models indicated that= the predatory fsh species accumulate= nutrients derived from similar autotrophic sources, microphytobenthos, seagrass and macro-algae via consumption of small fsh, including clupeids and mugilids. Yet, they signifcantly showed diferent isotopic niche width with varying degree of niche overlap across the longitudinal estuary gradient.
