  • Genomics of Sablefish
    Rondeau et al. BMC Genomics 2013, 14:452 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/14/452 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genomics of sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria): expressed genes, mitochondrial phylogeny, linkage map and identification of a putative sex gene Eric B Rondeau1, Amber M Messmer1, Dan S Sanderson1, Stuart G Jantzen1, Kristian R von Schalburg1, David R Minkley1, Jong S Leong1, Graham M Macdonald1, Amanda E Davidsen1, William A Parker1, Rosetta SA Mazzola1, Briony Campbell2 and Ben F Koop1* Abstract Background: The sablefish (order: Scorpaeniformes) is an economically important species in commercial fisheries of the North Pacific and an emerging species in aquaculture. Aside from a handful of sequences in NCBI and a few published microsatellite markers, little is known about the genetics of this species. The development of genetic tools, including polymorphic markers and a linkage map will allow for the successful development of future broodstock and mapping of phenotypes of interest. The significant sexual dimorphism between females and males makes a genetic test for early identification of sex desirable. Results: A full mitochondrial genome is presented and the resulting phylogenetic analysis verifies the placement of the sablefish within the Scorpaeniformes. Nearly 35,000 assembled transcript sequences are used to identify genes and obtain polymorphic SNP and microsatellite markers. 360 transcribed polymorphic loci from two sablefish families produce a map of 24 linkage groups. The sex phenotype maps to sablefish LG14 of the male map. We show significant conserved synteny and conservation of gene-order between the threespine stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus and sablefish. An additional 1843 polymorphic SNP markers are identified through next-generation sequencing techniques.

The research investigated questions of early Holocene wood artifact technologies and other plant use before the large-scale arrival of western redcedar (Thuja plicata), a cultural keystone species for Haida in more recent times. The project relied on small- scale excavations and sampling from two main areas of the site: a hearth complex and an activity area at the edge of a paleopond. The archaeobotanical assemblage from these two areas yielded 23 plant taxa representing 14 families in the form of wood, charcoal, seeds, and additional plant macrofossils.

  • Recycled Fish Sculpture (.PDF)
    Recycled Fish Sculpture Name:__________ Fish: are a paraphyletic group of organisms that consist of all gill-bearing aquatic vertebrate animals that lack limbs with digits. At 32,000 species, fish exhibit greater species diversity than any other group of vertebrates. Sculpture: is three-dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard materials—typically stone such as marble—or metal, glass, or wood. Softer ("plastic") materials can also be used, such as clay, textiles, plastics, polymers and softer metals. They may be assembled such as by welding or gluing or by firing, molded or cast. Researched Photo Source: Alaskan Rainbow STEP ONE: CHOOSE one fish from the attached Fish Names list. Trout STEP TWO: RESEARCH on-line and complete the attached K/U Fish Research Sheet. STEP THREE: DRAW 3 conceptual sketches with colour pencil crayons of possible visual images that represent your researched fish. STEP FOUR: Once your fish designs are approved by the teacher, DRAW a representational outline of your fish on the 18 x24 and then add VALUE and COLOUR . CONSIDER: Individual shapes and forms for the various parts you will cut out of recycled pop aluminum cans (such as individual scales, gills, fins etc.) STEP FIVE: CUT OUT using scissors the various individual sections of your chosen fish from recycled pop aluminum cans. OVERLAY them on top of your 18 x 24 Representational Outline 18 x 24 Drawing representational drawing to judge the shape and size of each piece. STEP SIX: Once you have cut out all your shapes and forms, GLUE the various pieces together with a glue gun.

  • Eulachon – a Fish Unique to Our West Coast
    Eulachon – A Fish Unique to Our West Coast Eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus) – also known as candlefish, oolichan, hooligan, salvation fish, or Columbia River smelt - are only found in marine waters, coastal rivers, and estuaries from northern California to Alaska. Because of their high oil content and nutritional value, Eulachon provide important food for many fishes, birds, and marine mammals. They are historically, economically, and culturally significant as a resource for indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, and also support limited and strictly regulated non- tribal fisheries. Eulachon populations in California, Washington, and Oregon are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Eulachon Distribution Note the adipose fin – all true smelt have one Photo: Jen Zamon, NOAA Life Cycle Eulachon are anadromous - they hatch in Fraser River freshwater rivers, migrate to live in the ocean for several Adult Eulachon, 195 mm. Ridges (striations) on the gill cover years, return to freshwater to spawn, and die after (operculum) are an identifying mark spawning. Adults are broadcast spawners; they spread eggs and milt over fine sands but do not construct nests (redds). One female produces an average of 32,000 tiny, Photo: Jen Zamon, NOAA 1 mm (<1/10th of an inch) eggs. Eulachon eggs stick to Elwha River sand grains, and depending on river temperatures, hatch Threats to Eulachon Survival in 20-40 days. The 4-7mm (~ ¼ inch) hatchlings (larvae) Quileute River are flushed downstream by river flow. Fish live on their The most serious threats to Eulachon survival include yolk sac reserves for about 5 days. With luck, after 5 days • rapid climate change in ocean and freshwater habitats, they reach the estuary and can begin feeding on small • damming and water diversion, and Quinault River diatoms (microscopic plants) before they enter the ocean.

  • Guide to the Coastal Marine Fishes of California
    STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE RESOURCES AGENCY DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME FISH BULLETIN 157 GUIDE TO THE COASTAL MARINE FISHES OF CALIFORNIA by DANIEL J. MILLER and ROBERT N. LEA Marine Resources Region 1972 ABSTRACT This is a comprehensive identification guide encompassing all shallow marine fishes within California waters. Geographic range limits, maximum size, depth range, a brief color description, and some meristic counts including, if available: fin ray counts, lateral line pores, lateral line scales, gill rakers, and vertebrae are given. Body proportions and shapes are used in the keys and a state- ment concerning the rarity or commonness in California is given for each species. In all, 554 species are described. Three of these have not been re- corded or confirmed as occurring in California waters but are included since they are apt to appear. The remainder have been recorded as occurring in an area between the Mexican and Oregon borders and offshore to at least 50 miles. Five of California species as yet have not been named or described, and ichthyologists studying these new forms have given information on identification to enable inclusion here. A dichotomous key to 144 families includes an outline figure of a repre- sentative for all but two families. Keys are presented for all larger families, and diagnostic features are pointed out on most of the figures. Illustrations are presented for all but eight species. Of the 554 species, 439 are found primarily in depths less than 400 ft., 48 are meso- or bathypelagic species, and 67 are deepwater bottom dwelling forms rarely taken in less than 400 ft.

  • A Preliminary Status Review of Eulachon and Pacific Lamprey in the Klamath River Basin
    A preliminary status review of eulachon and Pacific lamprey in the Klamath River Basin Yurok Tribal Fisheries Program 159OO Hwy 101 N Klamath CA 95548 Zachary S. Larson Michael R. Belchik April I998 INTRODUCTION Eulachon (Thaleicthys pacificus) and Pacific lamprey (Lampetra tridentata) are two species of anadromous fish found throughout the northwestern United States and western Canada that have received little attention relative to salmonid species. Consequently, with few exceptions, very little is known of their status or population trends. Eulachon are one of several species of smelts (Osmeridae) that occur off the coast of California. Their spawning migration takes them further into freshwater inlets than any other smelt within their range. They are prized by many tribes of the Pacific Northwest for their taste, and have been tied to tribal culture for centuries. Pacific lamprey are also harvested and considered a delicacy by tribes of the Pacific Northwest; however, lamprey migrate further up rivers and tributaries to spawn than do eulachon, often utilizing habitat hundreds of miles inland from the ocean (Scott and Crossman 1973). On the Klamath River of northwest California (Fig. l), eulachon and Pacific lamprey are of great importance to the Yurok Tribe but runs have diminished in the past few decades and no efforts have been made to determine factors contributing to apparent declines. Eulachon have apparently disappeared in the Klamath River and other nearby coastal drainages -- only a handful of fish have been witnessed since 1988 (CDFG unpublished data 1988-89, YTFP 1998). Pacific lamprey have exhibited a more gradual decline but little quantitative evidence is available.
