Portuguese Dogfish (Centroscymnus Coelolepis) in the Northeast Atlantic ICES Advice on fishing opportunities, catch, and effort Northeast Atlantic Ecoregion Published 9 October 2015 9.3.28 Portuguese dogfish (Centroscymnus coelolepis) in the Northeast Atlantic ICES stock advice ICES advises that when the precautionary approach is applied for Portuguese dogfish in the Northeast Atlantic, fishing mortality should be minimized and no targeted fisheries should be permitted. This advice is valid for 2016 to 2019. Stock development over time Consistent landings data for Portuguese dogfish are not available for the entire stock area. Landings of deep-water sharks (primarily leafscale gulper shark and Portuguese dogfish) peaked in 2001–2004 and have declined thereafter in response to reduced abundance and restrictive management measures. Figure 9.3.28.1 Portuguese dogfish in the Northeast Atlantic. Combined landings (t) of deep-water sharks (primarily relating to leafscale gulper shark and Portuguese dogfish; 2010–2014 data refer solely to Portuguese dogfish).

For stocks without information on abundance or exploitation, ICES considers that a precautionary reduction of catches should be implemented unless there is ancillary information clearly indicating that the current level of exploitation is appropriate for the stock. ICES Advice 2015, Book 9 1 Published 9 October 2015 Advice on fishing opportunities, catch, and effort In its most recent advice for 2013–2015 ICES advises that there should be no catches for this stock. Landings in the last five years have been close to zero. Therefore, ICES advises that when the precautionary approach is applied, fishing mortality should be minimized and no targeted fisheries should be permitted. Table 9.3.28.2 Portuguese dogfish in the Northeast Atlantic. For stocks in ICES data categories 3—6, one catch option is possible.

The basis of the advice. Advice basis Precautionary approach Management plan There is no management plan for this stock. Quality of the assessment Many countries used to report landings of Portuguese dogfish combined with other deep-water sharks, mainly leafscale gulper shark in categories such as “siki sharks”. Unless suitable data can be found to enable splitting of the catch data, historical catch levels will remain uncertain. In the past, misreporting was considered a minor problem, but this is likely to have changed since restrictive catch levels were adopted for deep-water sharks. Fishery-independent data are derived from the Scottish deep-water survey that takes place in only a small proportion of the stock range. These data are only available for after the development of the fishery. There are no fishery-independent data for areas further south which prevents understanding abundance in these areas. Figure 9.3.28.2 Scottish deep-water trawl survey (n h−1) for Portuguese dogfish (2000–2013; no surveys in 2001, 2003, and 2010). Issues relevant for the advice A TAC for deep-water sharks was first introduced in 2005. The TAC was reduced to zero in 2010 and has remained at zero since then. Discarding is known to occur but has not been fully quantified and preliminary estimates are uncertain. Discard survival is expected to be very low. 2 ICES Advice 2015, Book 9 ICES Advice on fishing opportunities, catch, and effort Published 9 October 2015 ICES advises that fishing mortality should be minimized; therefore, any possible provision for bycatch to be landed should be part of a management plan which includes close monitoring of the stock. Earlier studies indicated that the relative abundance of Portuguese dogfish combined with leafscale gulper shark declined in the 1990s in ICES Subareas V, VI, and VII.

    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.

  • 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.

This guide is an updated version of the Deepwater Shark Reference Guide sheets already prepared by NIWA. The shark species are presented alphabetically by common name. Layout for each species is consistent throughout the document and includes the following: • common name, scientific name, and species code • colour photograph and line drawing for each species • information on the depth distribution of the species • diagnostic features – outlines the key characteristics used to identify the species • maximum lengths that are attained • colour photograph and line drawing of the underside of head for some species These sheets can be substituted for the sheets already included in the revised Observer Manual. Enclosed is a CD ROM containing the shark guide as an interactive PDF document, an Acrobat Reader installer, and a word document.

Dogfish Rarity C. coelolepis Portuguese Dogfish Centroscymnus coelolepis is not rare, is becoming increasingly (Barbosa du Bocage & Brito Capello, 1864) scarce in the northern part of the OSPAR Area. Sensitivity C. coelolepis is considered to be very sensitive to depletion by fisheries because of the severely limiting life history characteristics, particularly a low reproductive output, that are common to this and other deepwater elasmobranch species. These Geographical extent characteristics result in a very low resistance to depletion by fisheries.
