  • (Squalus Acanthias) and Black Dogfish (Centroscyllium Fabricii) Spanish Data (Surveys and Fishery) in NAFO Divisions 3LMNO
    NOT TO BE CITED WITHOUT PRIOR REFERENCE TO THE SECRETARIAT Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization Serial No. N5250 NAFO SCR Doc. 06/30 SCIENTIFIC COUNCIL MEETING – JUNE 2006 Spiny Dogfish (Squalus acanthias) and Black Dogfish (Centroscyllium fabricii) Spanish Data (Surveys and Fishery) in NAFO Divisions 3LMNO. by F. González-Costas1, D. González-Troncoso1, M. Casas1 and G. Ramilo1 1 Instituto Español de Oceanografía, Vigo, Spain ABSTRACT The analysis of Spanish survey and fishery data from Divisions 3LMNO show that Spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) is not abundant and that this species appears in these Divisions sporadically and in depths of less than 500 meters. Black dogfish (Centroscyllium fabricii) data show that this species is present in all Divisions, but is more abundant in Div. 3NO and in depths of more than 900 m. Biomass estimated from the 3NO survey displays an increasing trend over the last three years. Commercial catches of this species are mainly a by-catch of the Greenland halibut fishery in Div. 3LMNO. Size compositions are mainly in between 50 and 70 cm of length, both for commercial and survey catch es. INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to review and present the Spanish information from surveys and commercial data for Spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) and Black dogfish (Centroscyllium fabricii) that were requested to the NAFO Scientific Council, in accord with the recommendation from the 2002 NAFO Symposium on Elasmobranches Fisheries. Part of this information had been presented by P. Duran et al. in 1999 for the period 1999-1998.

  • Fixed Gear Recommendations for the Cumberland Sound Greenland Halibut Fishery
    Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Central and Arctic Region Science Response 2008/011 FIXED GEAR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE CUMBERLAND SOUND GREENLAND HALIBUT FISHERY Context In a letter dated March 14, 2008, the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board (NWMB) requested Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science advice on ways Greenland halibut fishing could be conducted in Cumberland Sound such that conservation concerns with non-directed by- catch of marine mammals and Greenland sharks are minimized or alleviated. On March 31, 2008, Fisheries and Aquaculture Management (FAM) submitted a request to Science for advice to address this request. Given the response was needed prior to the open-water fishing season (July 2008) and since the NWMB is the final advisory body for this request, DFO Central and Arctic Science determined that a Special Science Response Process would be used. Background The Cumberland Sound Greenland halibut (turbot) fishery began in 1986 and has been traditionally exploited during the winter months using longline gear set on the bottom through holes cut in the ice. Fishing typically takes place along a deep trench (>500 m) that extends toward Imigen Island and Drum Islands (Fig. 1). In 2005, a new management zone was established in Cumberland Sound with a Total Allowable Catch (TAC) of 500 t separate from the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) Division 0B TAC. Catches in the winter fishery peaked in 1992 at 430 t then declined to levels below 100 t through the late 1990s and peaked again at 245 t in 2003. However, in recent years catches have declined significantly with harvests of 9 t, 70 t and 3 t for 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively.

  • Identification Guide to the Deep-Sea Cartilaginous Fishes Of
    Identification guide to the deep–sea cartilaginous fishes of the Southeastern Atlantic Ocean FAO. 2015. Identification guide to the deep–sea cartilaginous fishes of the Southeastern Atlantic Ocean. FishFinder Programme, by Ebert, D.A. and Mostarda, E., Rome, Italy. Supervision: Merete Tandstad, Jessica Sanders (FAO, Rome) Technical editor: Edoardo Mostarda (FAO, Rome) Colour illustrations, cover and graphic design: Emanuela D’Antoni (FAO, Rome) This guide was prepared under the “FAO Deep–sea Fisheries Programme” thanks to a generous funding from the Government of Norway (Support to the implementation of the International Guidelines on the Management of Deep-Sea Fisheries in the High Seas project) for the purpose of assisting states, institutions, the fishing industry and RFMO/As in the implementation of FAO International Guidelines for the Management of Deep-sea Fisheries in the High Seas. It was developed in close collaboration with the FishFinder Programme of the Marine and Inland Fisheries Branch, Fisheries Department, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The present guide covers the deep–sea Southeastern Atlantic Ocean and that portion of Southwestern Indian Ocean from 18°42’E to 30°00’E (FAO Fishing Area 47). It includes a selection of cartilaginous fish species of major, moderate and minor importance to fisheries as well as those of doubtful or potential use to fisheries. It also covers those little known species that may be of research, educational, and ecological importance. In this region, the deep–sea chondrichthyan fauna is currently represented by 50 shark, 20 batoid and 8 chimaera species. This guide includes full species accounts for 37 shark, 9 batoid and 4 chimaera species selected as being the more difficult to identify and/or commonly caught.

  • FINAL REPORT a Survey of Parasitic
    FINAL REPORT A survey of parasitic nematodes in maricultured finfish in Scotland FS241054 October 2012 Adam Brooker, Andy Shinn, Rod Wootten and James Bron Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling 1 Executive Summary Nematodes, also known as roundworms, are found in a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial habitats, with over half of the known species being parasitic. Anisakid nematodes, which are commonly found in sea fish, are of particular importance as they are able to infect humans. The natural hosts of anisakids are whales and seals, but humans can become infected when raw or undercooked fish (e.g. cured or smoked) is eaten. Symptoms of anisakid infection (anisakiasis) often include nausea, stomach pain and vomiting. On rare occasions anisakid infection of humans can be fatal. With growing trends in the consumption of raw and undercooked fish, anisakiasis currently affects over 2000 people per annum worldwide, with 95% of cases located in Japan. In order to kill any anisakids present in fish, it must be either frozen or sufficiently cooked. However, even if there are no live anisakids, chemicals that they produce can still be present in fish flesh, which can cause allergic reactions in some people. An amendment in December 2011 of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, which concerns “treatment to kill viable parasites in fishery products for human consumption” permits that farmed fish do not need to be frozen to kill anisakids when intended to be marketed in a raw state (or is not intended to undergo a treatment that will kill viable parasites), where it can be proven that fish have been reared in an environment free of infection, or that adequate monitoring programmes are in place to verify that fishery products do not represent a health hazard with regards to anisakid worms.

  • NEA Shark Covers
    This report describes the results of a regional Red List Workshop held at the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), Peterborough, UK, in 2006, as a contribution towards the IUCN Species Survival Commission’s Shark Specialist Group’s ‘Global Shark Red List Assessment’. The purpose of the workshop was to assess the conservation status of the chondrichthyan fishes (sharks, rays and chimaeras) of the Northeast Atlantic region (FAO Major Fishery Area 27). This region is bordered by some of the largest and most important chondrichthyan fishing nations in the world, including Spain, France, the UK and Portugal. A regional overview of fisheries, utilisation, trade, management and conservation is also presented. The Northeast Atlantic chondrichthyan fauna is moderately diverse, with an estimated 118 species (approximately 11% of total living chondrichthyans). These occur within a huge range of habitats, including the deep-sea, open oceans, and coastal waters from the Arctic to the Mediterranean. During the workshop, experts collated information and prepared 74 global and 17 regional species assessments, thereby completing the Red Listing process for the described chondrichthyan fauna of the Northeast Atlantic (two undescribed species were not assessed). These assessments were agreed by consensus throughout the SSG network prior to their submission to IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM. Results show that 26% of Northeast Atlantic chondrichthyans are threatened within the region (7% Critically Endangered, 7% Endangered, 12% Vulnerable). A further 20% are Near Threatened, 27% Least Concern and 27% are Data Deficient. This is a significantly higher level of threat than that for the whole taxonomic group, worldwide. Globally, of the 1, 038 species of chondrichthyans assessed, 18% are threatened (3% CR, 4% EN, 11% VU), 13% are Near Threatened, 23% Least Concern and 46% Data Deficient.

It was probably a more frequent visitor with feeding migration to Kattegat before the populations in the Skagerrak and North Sea were reduced. There are however no evidence of regular reproduction within the HELCOM area during the timeframe for the redlisting process (1800– current date). Halibut.

Habitat and ecology The Atlantic halibut is a marine deepwater species spawning during December–April in 200–300m in coastal areas but down to 2000m at sea. It is remarkable for a flatfish that this species swims quite often freely in the water column.

  • Halibut Farming in Norway « Global Aquaculture Advocate
    11/3/2019 Halibut farming in Norway « Global Aquaculture Advocate (https://www.aquaculturealliance.org) MARKETPLACE (/ADVOCATE/CATEGORY/MARKETPLACE) Halibut farming in Norway Saturday, 1 April 2006 By Asbjørn Drengstig, M.S. and Dr. Asbjørn Bergheim Domestication has been expensive and time-consuming During their fry and juvenile stages, halibut form layers in production tanks. The Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) is a large deep-water atsh that can grow up to 200 kg in the wild. It is usually found around Iceland, Greenland, northern Norway and eastern Canada. https://www.aquaculturealliance.org/advocate/halibut-farming-in-norway/?headlessPrint=AAAAAPIA9c8r7gs82oWZBA 1/4 11/3/2019 Halibut farming in Norway « Global Aquaculture Advocate In the last few decades, the annual wild catches of Atlantic halibut have decreased from 7,000 to 3,000 metric tons (MT). Today, however, farmed Atlantic halibut offer a year-round protein source of high quality for national and international markets. Juvenile production Atlantic halibut go through metamorphosis at lengths of 30 to 40 mm and switch from a pelagic to benthic life stage. The most critical period during aquaculture production is before the fry reach 5 grams. High mortality during the fry phase and diculties with rst feeding, which requires live food, continue to be the greatest bottlenecks in halibut farming. Major prerequisites for good survival are stable and high water quality, proper management and feeding, stable temperature, and good hygiene. In early stages, juvenile halibut show a positive growth response with the use of articial light that is independent of water temperature. Growth rates usually increase with increasing photoperiod and are highest when light is provided 24 hours per day.
