This report summarises the fish surveys that took place between spring (April) 2010 and autumn (November) 2015. Baseline fish surveys were carried out with the aim of assessing the prevailing environmental and ecological conditions and to enable assessments of the predicted impacts of the Wylfa Newydd Power Station within the final Environmental Statement. The fish survey programme used a multi-method approach to characterise fish communities from a variety of habitats. In total, the baseline surveys reported here have recorded 111 fish to genus or species level. Ichthyoplankton (fish larvae) sampling was completed at seven sites along the north Anglesey coast. The greatest abundance of larvae was observed in April and May following the spring spawning of various species. The ichthyoplankton samples were dominated by sandeel (Ammodytidae) and consisted mainly of inshore species such as gobies (Gobiidae) and flatfish (Pleuronectidae). The ichthyoplankton samples did not contain significantly high numbers of the commercially exploited species whiting and cod; however, numbers of Clupeidae (represent mainly by sprat) represented approximately 11% of the larvae collected. The data suggest the presence of low intensity sandeel spawning grounds inshore within the Wylfa Newydd Development Area, compared to high intensity area identified offshore and in the eastern Irish Sea. Inshore abundances of other dominant ichthyoplankton species (i.e. sprat, dab and dragonets) were also much lower than those reported for the eastern Irish Sea and further offshore. Intertidal surveys used seine nets to sample fish from 11 sandy and mixed-substrate beaches between Traeth Mawr near Holyhead in the west and Traeth Bychen in the east. Fish traps sampled fish from two rocky bays along the north coast (Porth-y-pistyll and Porth Wen). Diving surveys helped to fill knowledge gaps for the rocky coastline between intertidal sampling areas. Clupeids,

  • Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean Volume
    ISBN 0-9689167-4-x Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean (Davis Strait, Southern Greenland and Flemish Cap to Cape Hatteras) Volume One Acipenseriformes through Syngnathiformes Michael P. Fahay ii Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean iii Dedication This monograph is dedicated to those highly skilled larval fish illustrators whose talents and efforts have greatly facilitated the study of fish ontogeny. The works of many of those fine illustrators grace these pages. iv Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean v Preface The contents of this monograph are a revision and update of an earlier atlas describing the eggs and larvae of western Atlantic marine fishes occurring between the Scotian Shelf and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (Fahay, 1983). The three-fold increase in the total num- ber of species covered in the current compilation is the result of both a larger study area and a recent increase in published ontogenetic studies of fishes by many authors and students of the morphology of early stages of marine fishes. It is a tribute to the efforts of those authors that the ontogeny of greater than 70% of species known from the western North Atlantic Ocean is now well described. Michael Fahay 241 Sabino Road West Bath, Maine 04530 U.S.A. vi Acknowledgements I greatly appreciate the help provided by a number of very knowledgeable friends and colleagues dur- ing the preparation of this monograph. Jon Hare undertook a painstakingly critical review of the entire monograph, corrected omissions, inconsistencies, and errors of fact, and made suggestions which markedly improved its organization and presentation.

  • Control of Meiobenthic Abundance by Macroepifauna in a Subtidal Muddy Habitat
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 65: 241-249, 1990 Published August 16 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. l Control of meiobenthic abundance by macroepifauna in a subtidal muddy habitat Emil 'Olafsson*,Colin G. Moore Department of Biological Sciences. Heriot-Watt University, Riccarton, Edinburgh EH14 4AS. Scotland ABSTRACT: In order to assess the effects of macrofauna on meiofaunal community structure, field investigations were performed in a low energy subtidal muddy sediment in Loch Creran, a sea-loch on the west coast of Scotland. Meiofaunal colonization of azoic sediment in cages designed to exclude macrofauna to varylng degrees was studied. After 1 mo nematode density in all 15 cages was less than a third of ambient density. In none of the cages did the nematodes reach ambient densities within the experimental period. Copepods attained background levels in 3 mo in all cages and were in higher numbers in cages designed to exclude all macrofauna. Results indicate that small to medium sized macroepifauna control the densities of copepods at the study site. INTRODUCTION Apart from experiments conducted by Dauer et al.

Projektet er finansieret af Aage V. Jensen Naturfond Alle rettigheder forbeholdes. Det er tilladt at gengive korte stykker af teksten med tydelig kilde- henvisning. Teksten bedes citeret således: Carl, H. 2019. Kortfinnet fløjfisk. I: Carl, H. & Møller, P.R. (red.). Atlas over danske saltvandsfisk. Statens Naturhistoriske Museum. Online-udgivelse, december 2019. Systematik og navngivning Siden Carl von Linné navngav slægten Callionymus i 1758, er der beskrevet mere end 200 arter i slægten. Nu anerkendes kun 109 arter (Froese & Pauly 2019), men der menes stadig at være ubeskrevne arter. I danske farvande findes tre arter. Det officielle danske navn for Callionymus reticulatus er kortfinnet fløjfisk – et navn der første gang er brugt i Muus & Nielsen (1998). Da arten først er registreret i danske farvande efter årtusindeskiftet, findes der ingen gamle danske navne. Slægtsnavnet Callionymus kommer af det græske ”Kallionymos”, der stammer fra det antikke Grækenland, hvor det muligvis var navnet på europæisk stjernekigger (Uranoscopus scaber) (Kullander & Delling 2012). Artsnavnet reticulatus betyder netmønstret. Udseende og kendetegn Fortil er kroppen bred og forholdsvis flad, mens den gradvist bliver rund ved den bageste del af haleroden. Bugsiden er flad. Snuden er spids, så hovedet, der er bredere end kroppen, er trekantet set oppefra. Munden er forholdsvis lille, og overkæben kan skydes langt frem og ned. Tænderne er spidse og sidder i tætte rækker i både under- og overkæbe. Øjnene er meget store og sidder højt på hovedet, hvor de rager op.

Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 47 (2): 163–171. Background. The reticulated dragonet, Callionymus reticulatus, was originally described based on a single specimen, the holotype from Malaga, Spain, south-western Mediterranean, probably collected before 1831. The holotype is now disintegrated; the specific characteristics are no longer discernible. The species was subsequently recorded from several north-eastern Atlantic localities (Western Sahara to central Norway), but missing in the Mediterranean. Material and methods. Specimens of C. reticulatus were observed and collected during two cruises in 2014 and 2016 in the Balearic Islands off Mallorca and Menorca. The collected specimens (8 females) have been deposited in the collection of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJ). All individuals of C. reticulatus were collected from beam trawl samples carried out during the DRAGONSAL0914 in September 2014, and during the MEDITS_ES05_16 bottom trawl survey in June 2016, on shelf and slope bottoms around the Balearic Islands. Both surveys used a ‘Jennings’ beam trawl to sample the epi-benthic communities, which was the main objective of the DRAGONSAL0914 and a complementary objective in the MEDITS_ES05_16. The ‘Jennings’ beam trawl has a 2 m horizontal opening, 0.5 m vertical opening and a 5 mm diamond mesh in the codend.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.
