The recent problems with avian influenza have encouraged people to increase their consumption of fish to reduce health risks. Moreover, the high meat quality and great taste of bluefin tuna make this species among the most important fish in the world. Consequently, the demand for this species has increased sharply during the last decades. To cope with the increasing demand, a cage culture industry, based on the collection of juveniles from the wild, has developed in different countries. However, this industry increases the risk of resource depletion and adds pressure to the fragile ecosystem on which tuna depend. Therefore, the world is now very eager to develop technologies for increasing bluefin tuna resources and produce fingerlings for culture purposes. Kinki University achieved a full culture cycle of the Pacific bluefin tuna for the first time in the world in 2002. In addition, research collaboration between Kinki University and Clean Seas Tuna Limited has seen the successful completion of fingerling production of Southern bluefin tuna for the first time in the world. It is believed that the tuna industry will benefit from these golden achievements with the Pacific and Southern bluefin tuna. This Symposium will cover talks on different aspects of Pacific and Southern bluefin tuna as well as yellowfin tuna. We hope that this symposium will meet all your expectations and provide you with the opportunity to learn about the latest advances in bluefin and yellowfin tuna aquaculture. Apart from the Global COE Program of Kinki University, we believe that this symposium would not have been possible without the enthusiastic support from Clean Seas Tuna Limited, South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI), Australian Seafood Cooperative Research Center, Industry and Investment NSW, and the Australian Fisheries Research and Development Cooperation. We thank all these sponsors as well as the Japanese and Australian organizing committees for their tireless and excellent contribution and support to make this symposium a great success. We also thank the editors of the Symposium Proceedings for their efforts

Le Bris), http://umaine.edu/wahlelab/current-projects/american-lobster-settlement-index/ Several months now into the COVID-19 pandemic, we can only look back to the 2019 fishing year with some nostalgia. In calendar year 2019, Canadian lobster landings continued to boast near all-time highs. And while US landings have slipped a bit from their own historic highs, much of those losses have been offset by continued high value. That is, until now. All that changed almost overnight with the onset of the pandemic, as demand for lobster plummeted with shuttered restaurants and overseas commerce, dragging down the price of lobster, much to the distress of fishing communities up and down the coast. As we enter the 2020 summer fishing season, the lobster industry grapples to find a new normal as it accommodates health protocols, readjusts markets and scales back revenue expectations. In kind, state and federal marine resource monitoring programs are equally rethinking sampling programs under shrinking tax revenues and new safety standards. Last year’s Update examined how well ALSI predicted trends in the fishery from Fundy to Rhode Island.

  • American Eel (Anguilla Rostrata)
    Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Animal Information Series American Eel (Anguilla rostrata) Do they have any other names? The names “glass eel” or “elver” are used to describe young, developing eels. Why are they called American eels? The closest relatives to the American eel are other freshwater eels found in Europe and Asia; therefore they are called American eels because they are only in America. Anguilla is the Latin name for eel and rostrata is Latin for “beaked,” in reference to the snout. What do they look like? American eels are a brownish-colored fish with a slender, snake-like body and a small, pointed head. The body appears smooth and mucousy; however there are small scales present. They have a long dorsal fin that is more than half the length of the body and attached to the tail and anal fins. American eels do not have pelvic fins, but do have pectoral fins (on the sides near the head). The lower jaw projects farther than the upper jaw and they have many small teeth. Photo Credit: Duane Raver/USFWS 2012-MLC Page 1 Where do they live in Indiana? American eels are rare in Indiana and are found in large streams and rivers. They can sometimes be found in ponds or lakes that are not connected to a river, although this seldom happens. What kind of habitat do they need? American eels are found in large streams or rivers with continuous flow and clear water. During the day eels like to stay near logs, boulders, or other cover.

  • Do Some Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Skip Spawning?
    SCRS/2006/088 Col. Vol. Sci. Pap. ICCAT, 60(4): 1141-1153 (2007) DO SOME ATLANTIC BLUEFIN TUNA SKIP SPAWNING? David H. Secor1 SUMMARY During the spawning season for Atlantic bluefin tuna, some adults occur outside known spawning centers, suggesting either unknown spawning regions, or fundamental errors in our current understanding of bluefin tuna reproductive schedules. Based upon recent scientific perspectives, skipped spawning (delayed maturation and non-annual spawning) is possibly prevalent in moderately long-lived marine species like bluefin tuna. In principle, skipped spawning represents a trade-off between current and future reproduction. By foregoing reproduction, an individual can incur survival and growth benefits that accrue in deferred reproduction. Across a range of species, skipped reproduction was positively correlated with longevity, but for non-sturgeon species, adults spawned at intervals at least once every two years. A range of types of skipped spawning (constant, younger, older, event skipping; and delays in first maturation) was modeled for the western Atlantic bluefin tuna population to test for their effects on the egg-production-per-recruit biological reference point (stipulated at 20% and 40%). With the exception of extreme delays in maturation, skipped spawning had relatively small effect in depressing fishing mortality (F) threshold values. This was particularly true in comparison to scenarios of a juvenile fishery (ages 4-7), which substantially depressed threshold F values. Indeed, recent F estimates for 1990-2002 western Atlantic bluefin tuna stock assessments were in excess of threshold F values when juvenile size classes were exploited. If western bluefin tuna are currently maturing at an older age than is currently assessed (i.e., 10 v.

  • A Preliminary Study on the Stomach Content of Southern Bluefin Tuna Thunnus Maccoyii Caught by Taiwanese Longliner in the Central Indian Ocean
    CCSBT-ESC/0509/35 A preliminary study on the stomach content of southern bluefin tuna Thunnus maccoyii caught by Taiwanese longliner in the central Indian Ocean Kwang-Ming Liu1, Wei-Ke Chen2, Shoou-Jeng Joung2, and Sui-Kai Chang3 1. Institute of Marine Resource Management, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung, Taiwan. 2. Department of Environmental Biology and Fisheries Science, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung, Taiwan. 3. Fisheries Agency, Council of Agriculture, Taipei, Taiwan. Abstract The stomach contents of 63 southern bluefin tuna captured by Taiwanese longliners in central Indian Ocean in August 2004 were examined. The size of tunas ranged from 84-187 cm FL (12-115 kg GG). The length and weight frequency distributions indicated that most specimens were in the range of 100-130 cm FL with a body weight between 10 and 30 kg for both sexes. The sexes- combined relationship between dressed weight and fork length can be described by W = 6.975× 10-6× FL3.1765 (n=56, r2=0.967, p < 0.05). The subjective index of fullness of specimens was estimated as: 1 = empty (38.6%), 2 = <half full (47.37%), 3 = half full (3.51%), 4 = >half full (5.26%), and 5 = full (5.26%). For the stomachs with prey items, almost all the preys are pisces and the proportion of each prey groups are fishes (95.6%), cephalopods (2.05%), and crustaceans (0.02%). In total, 6 prey taxa were identified – 4 species of fish, 1 unidentified pisces, 1 unidentified crustacean, and 1 unidentified squid. The 4 fish species fall in the family of Carangidae, Clupeidae, Emmelichthyidae, and Hemiramphidae.

  • Fish Species and for Eggs and Larvae of Larger Fish
    BATIQUITOS LAGOON FOUNDATION F I S H Fishes of the Lagoon There were only a few species of fish in Batiquitos Lagoon (just five!) BATIQUITOS LAGOON FOUNDATION before it was opened to the ocean and tides at the end of 1996. High temperatures in the summer, low oxygen levels, and wide ranges of ANCHOVY salinity did not allow the ecosystem to flourish. Since the restoration of tidal action to the lagoon, the fish populations have significantly increased in numbers and diversity and more than sixty-five species have been found. Lagoons serve as breeding and nursery areas for a wide array of coastal fish, provide habitat and food for resident species TOPSMELT and serve as feeding areas for seasonal species. Different areas of the lagoon environment provide specific habitat needs. These include tidal creeks, sandy bottoms, emergent vegetation, submergent vegetation, nearshore shallows, open water, saline pools and brackish/freshwater areas. These habitats are defined by water YELLOWFIN GOBY characteristics including salinity, water temperature, water velocity and water depth. The lagoon bottom varies with the type of substrate such as rock, cobble, gravel, sand, clay, mud and silt. Tidal creeks and channels provide refuges for small fish species and for eggs and larvae of larger fish. Species in tidal creeks include ROUND STINGRAY gobies and topsmelt. Sandy bottoms provide important habitat for bottom-dwelling fish species such as rays, sharks and flatfish. The sandy areas provide important refuges for crustaceans, which are prey to many fish species within the lagoon. The burrows of ghost shrimp are utilized by the arrow goby.

    WashingtonHistory.org ADVENTURES IN ICHTHYOLOGY Pacific Northwest Fish of the Lewis anD Clark ExpeDition By Dennis D. Dauble COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Fall 2005: Vol. 19, No. 3 Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and other members of their expedition collecteD anD iDentified nearly 400 species of plants anD animals During their voyage of Discovery. Of this total, 31 species of fish were incluDeD in Burroughs' summary of the natural history of the expedition, incluDing 12 fish consiDered unknown to science at that time. While there is little doubt of the identity of fish for which Lewis and Clark provided detailed descriptions in their daily logs, other species designations were largely conjecture based on later scholars' interpretations of Lewis anD Clark's accounts. Unlike other biological specimens encountered during the expedition, no fish were brought back for study. As a result, the identity of some was never resolveD. Many other fish were reclassified during the past century based on updated scientific methoDs. As Lewis and Clark's party crossed the Continental Divide in August 1805 in search of a water route to the Pacific Ocean, they reacheD the upper Columbia River watersheD anD crosseD the thresholD toward a whole new assemblage of freshwater fish. Their encounters with Native American fishermen and fish were well-documented in some instances. Other accounts were sketchy at best. In aDDition to their Daily log, Lewis anD Clark wrote long passages summarizing life history anD taxonomic features of several fish species while within the rainy confines of Fort Clatsop in March 1806. Many reconstructed notes were of fish encountered several months earlier when the expedition crossed the Rockies.
