Tactics and Demographic Attributes in the European Eel Anguilla Anguilla in the Gironde Watershed, SW France MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 307: 247–257, 2006 Published January 24 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Tactics and demographic attributes in the European eel Anguilla anguilla in the Gironde watershed, SW France F. Daverat1,*, J. Tomás2 1Cemagref, 50 Avenue de Verdun, 33612 Cestas, France 2IMEDEA, CSIC-UIB, Miquel Marquès 21, 07190 Esporles, Balearic Islands, Spain ABSTRACT: The patterns of habitat use and their relative proportions were investigated for 270 eels Anguilla anguilla sampled in coastal areas, the estuary and the river of the Gironde watershed, by measuring Sr and Ca concentrations in the otolith. Sr:Ca values outside the elver mark discriminated residence in the same habitat until capture (freshwater, estuary, or sea) from a switch of habitat following 3 patterns: a shift from freshwater to estuarine, seasonal movements within the limits of the estuary, or a switch of habitat from brackish to freshwater (downstream nomads). Results show a gradient of residency from freshwater (100%) to estuary (44%) to the sea (24%). The most abundant (30%) alternative to residence in an estuary and its adjacent coastal site were the downstream nomads, which concentrated in coastal areas and the lower part of the estuary after leaving freshwater. Overall, up to 50% of the eels analysed had spent a period in freshwater. Fish growth rates in freshwater were lower than anywhere else in the watershed. Back-calculation of fish size- at-age showed that, of all eels passing through freshwater, residents were slow growers, while downstream nomads were fast growers. The latter migrate to the estuary at Ages 2+ and 3+, when their size is greater than estuarine residents. Results revealed that lower estuarine and marine habi- tats are colonised by yellow rather than glass eels. This suggests that competition with estuarine residents and downstream nomads prevents precocious settlement of glass eels in estuary and marine habitats.

It is probable that the choice of a tactic would result in a specific demographic attribute (size-at-age, size-at-migration). However, comparison of the growth rates of migratory contingents are contradictory. Morri- son et al. (2003) showed that Anguilla rostrata estuarine residents and ‘freshwater to estuary mode’ nomads have similar growth rates, which are higher than those of freshwater residents, whereas Tzeng et al. (2002) only found significantly different growth rates between sim- ilar ecophenotypes of A. japonica for the first 5 yr of life, using retrospective growth analysis. A recent study by Kotake et al. (2005) pointed out that eels, which were collected in a Japanese bay, with different types of habi- tat use (estuarine, marine and freshwater eels) emigrate as female silver eels at the same size. The adoption of a tactic of habitat use may be influ- enced by environmental conditions, as well as by the individual’s status. Results obtained for salmonids emphasise the influence of the individual status, often associated with size at a given age (Thieriault & Dod- Atlantic Ocean son 2003). For eels moving from one compartment to another, fast growth, or larger size-at-age may favour migration. A recent finding on thyroid status related to migratory behaviour of glass eels (Edeline et al. 2004) Fig. 1.

Newton FAO Fisheries- Department, Rome, Italy Abstract Following an earlier analysis provided by FAO (19931, the paper gives an update of the trends and future perspectives of world fisheries. It describes and comments on worldwide trends in landings, trade, prices and fleet size. It illustrates the decrease in landings in the last 3 years, the relationship between landings and prices and the large overcapacity in world fishing fleets. It provides a review of the state of world fishery resources, globally, by region and species groups, as well as a brief account of environmental impacts on fisheries. It presents an economic perspective for world fisheries which underlines further the overcapacity and subsidy issues that characterize modern fisheries. In conclusion, it discusses‘management issues including the need for fleet reduction policies, the potential combined effect of international trade on resources depletion in developing exporting countries, throwing into question the overall sustainability of the world fishery system.

Summary Ectoparasites, attaching mainly to the fins or gills, are a particularly conspicuous part of the parasite fauna of marine fishes. In particular the dominant copepods, have received much interest due to their effects on host populations. However, still little is known on the copepod fauna on fishes for many localities and their temporal stability as long-term observations are largely absent. The aim of this project was two-fold: 1) to deliver a current inventory of ectoparasitic copepods in fishes in the southern Wadden Sea around Texel and 2) to compare the current parasitic copepod fauna with the one from 1968 in the same area, using data published in an internal NIOZ report and additional unpublished original notes. In total, 47 parasite species have been recorded on 52 fish species in the southern Wadden Sea to date. The two copepod species, where quantitative comparisons between 1968 and 2010 were possible for their host, the European flounder (Platichthys flesus), showed different trends: Whereas Acanthochondria cornuta seems not to have altered its infection rate or per host abundance between years, Lepeophtheirus pectoralis has shifted towards infection of smaller hosts, as well as to a stronger increase of per-host abundance with increasing host length.

    Pacific Fishery Management Council NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 11, 2017 Contact: Ms. Jennifer Gilden, Communications Officer, [email protected], 503‐820‐2418 Mr. John DeVore, Groundfish Staff Officer, [email protected], 503‐820‐2413 Mr. Chuck Tracy, Executive Director, 503‐820‐2280 Mr. Jim Milbury, National Marine Fisheries Service, 310‐245‐7114 Michael Milstein, National Marine Fisheries Service, 503‐231‐6268 ANOTHER IMPORTANT WEST COAST GROUNDFISH STOCK IS REBUILT PORTLAND, OREGON – An important West Coast groundfish stock that was formerly overfished has now been rebuilt. Pacific ocean perch, which is managed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS or NOAA Fisheries), has constrained the West Coast trawl fishery for decades. Pacific ocean perch has been overfished since the mid‐1960s when foreign fleets targeted groundfish stocks, in particular Pacific ocean perch, off the U.S. West Coast. The mandates of the 1976 Magnuson‐Stevens Act, the primary law governing U.S. fisheries management, eventually ended foreign fishing within 200 miles of the U.S. coast. The first Federal trip limits to discourage targeting and to conserve a U.S. West Coast groundfish stock were implemented for Pacific ocean perch in 1979 by the Pacific Fishery Management Council and NMFS. Rebuilding plans for Pacific ocean perch were adopted in 2000 and 2003.. 1 Managing groundfish fisheries under rebuilding plans has been an immense challenge for the Pacific Council and the NMFS. These plans required sharp reductions in commercial and recreational fisheries targeting groundfish, and included widespread fishing closures through the establishment of Rockfish Conservation Areas off the West Coast and other measures.
