European Aquaculture Production Report 2007-2015 European Aquaculture Production Report 2007-2015 Prepared by the FEAP secretariat (October 2016) contact: FEAP Secretariat - [email protected] FEAP PRODUCTION REPORT - 2016 The Member Associations of the FEAP provide production data for the activities of their national producers on an annual basis. In addition, if available, forecasts for the coming year are also provided, based on their own individual reporting systems. The FEAP Secretariat groups this information into European and National reports on production for publication in this document. The information and figures used for the preparation of this report have been provided, for the most part, by the Member Associations of the FEAP while additional data has been sourced from National statistical offices and/or other national sources. For further statistical information on aquaculture production and values, the FAO provides a wide range of data for global aquaculture and fisheries statistics (FISHSTAT) while Globefish, another initiative of the FAO, represents a network of regional marketing information services that provides data on markets and prices. European trade data can be ac- cessed through EUMOFA – the European Market Observatory for Fisheries and Aquaculture Products (see www.eumofa.eu) and EUROSTAT. This FEAP Production report is split up in 3 sections, PRODUCTION BY REGION (pp. 2-6), BY COUNTRY (pp. 7-28) and BY SPECIES (pp. 30-45), covering the period 2007-2015: 1. Production by Region • Total European production (including EU and non EU countries) • EU Member State production (where available) • Non-EU European State production 2. Production by Country, covering Austria Iceland Croatia Ireland Cyprus Italy Czech Republic Netherlands Denmark Norway Faroe Islands Poland Finland Portugal France Spain Germany Sweden Greece Turkey Hungary United Kingdom • Countries with a total production <1000 tons have not been included • Figures in red indicate that updated data are not yet available and figures identical to previous year(s) have been included so as to provide estimates.

  • A. Update on the Implementation of Past Recommendations/Action Items
    U.S. Department of the Interior Oce of the Secretary C Street Washington, DC date: 11/30/2016 department poc: Hilary Smith email: [email protected] A. Update on the implementation of past recommendations/action items Spring 2015 – Recommendation: isac recommends that the nisc member agencies develop the early detection and rapid response framework and emergency funding plan called for in the Council on Climate Preparedness and Resilience and Natural Resources Working Group’s Priority Agenda: Enhancing the Climate Resilience of America’s Natural Resourc- es (October 2014); and, that they seek the involvement and advice of non-federal stakeholders, subject matter experts, tribal, state, and local government representatives who will be critical partners in the successful implementation of this framework and fund. In February, the Administration released the interdepartmental report, Safeguarding America’s Lands and Waters from Invasive Species: A National Framework for Early Detection and Rapid Response (https://www.doi.gov/ppa/reports-and-statistics). The nisc Management Plan, released in July, incorporates recommendations in the report as action items. This includes un- dertaking a series of scientific, technical, and institutional assessments to determine the capacities and resources necessary to establish a national edrr program. The nisc Secretariat is facilitating these assessments which are in progress. Additional action items within the nisc Management Plan related to the edrr Framework include: Establish Terms of Reference for and institute a National edrr Task Force within the nisc structure that will guide implementation of the edrr Framework; Produce an implementation plan for a nation-wide program for edrr; Assess investments, resource needs, and opportunities to leverage additional resources; Conduct cost-benefit analyses of edrr programs for potential invasive species; and Promote pilot projects across a variety of U.S.

One of the few locations with naturally occurring wels catfish in Sweden is Lake Båven, situated about an hour and a half south of Stockholm, in the county of Södermanland. Due to declines of the Swedish catfish populations, which are mostly a result of human impacts such as the destruction of spawning habitats, conservational actions are now needed in purpose to secure the future of the species in Sweden.

  • Systematic List of the Romanian Vertebrate Fauna
    Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle © Décembre Vol. LIII pp. 377–411 «Grigore Antipa» 2010 DOI: 10.2478/v10191-010-0028-1 SYSTEMATIC LIST OF THE ROMANIAN VERTEBRATE FAUNA DUMITRU MURARIU Abstract. Compiling different bibliographical sources, a total of 732 taxa of specific and subspecific order remained. It is about the six large vertebrate classes of Romanian fauna. The first class (Cyclostomata) is represented by only four species, and Pisces (here considered super-class) – by 184 taxa. The rest of 544 taxa belong to Tetrapoda super-class which includes the other four vertebrate classes: Amphibia (20 taxa); Reptilia (31); Aves (382) and Mammalia (110 taxa). Résumé. Cette contribution à la systématique des vertébrés de Roumanie s’adresse à tous ceux qui sont intéressés par la zoologie en général et par la classification de ce groupe en spécial. Elle représente le début d’une thème de confrontation des opinions des spécialistes du domaine, ayant pour but final d’offrir aux élèves, aux étudiants, aux professeurs de biologie ainsi qu’à tous ceux intéressés, une synthèse actualisée de la classification des vertébrés de Roumanie. En compilant différentes sources bibliographiques, on a retenu un total de plus de 732 taxons d’ordre spécifique et sous-spécifique. Il s’agît des six grandes classes de vertébrés. La première classe (Cyclostomata) est représentée dans la faune de Roumanie par quatre espèces, tandis que Pisces (considérée ici au niveau de surclasse) l’est par 184 taxons. Le reste de 544 taxons font partie d’une autre surclasse (Tetrapoda) qui réunit les autres quatre classes de vertébrés: Amphibia (20 taxons); Reptilia (31); Aves (382) et Mammalia (110 taxons).

  • Five Species of Sturgeons Under the Endangered Species Act
    This document is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on 10/31/2013 and available online at http://federalregister.gov/a/2013-25358, and on FDsys.gov Billing Code 3510-22-P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 50 CFR Part 224 [Docket No. 120705210-3872-02] RIN 0648-XC101 Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Finding and Proposed Endangered Listing of Five Species of Sturgeons under the Endangered Species Act AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce. ACTION: Proposed rule; 12-month petition finding; request for comments. SUMMARY: We, NMFS, have completed comprehensive status reviews under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of five species of foreign sturgeons in response to a petition. We have determined, based on the best scientific and commercial data available and after taking into account efforts being made to protect the species, that Acipenser naccarii (Adriatic sturgeon), and A. sturio (European sturgeon) in Western Europe, A. sinensis (Chinese sturgeon) in the Yangtze River basin, and A. mikadoi (Sakhalin sturgeon) and Huso dauricus (Kaluga sturgeon) in the Amur River Basin/Sea of Japan/Sea of Okhotsk region, meet the definition of endangered species. We are not proposing to designate critical habitat because the geographical areas occupied by these species are entirely outside U.S. jurisdiction and we have not identified any unoccupied areas that are currently essential to the conservation of any of these species. We are soliciting information that may be relevant to these listing and critical habitat determinations, 1 especially on the status and conservation of these species.

  • Using Environmental DNA for Sampling Fish – Is It the Future?
    Using environmental DNA for sampling fish – is it the future? Graeme Peirson 25th July 2018 What is eDNA? DNA that has been released by an organism into the environment in the form of mucus, skin, hair, faeces, urine, gametes etc. From live organisms and dead ones as they decompose eDNA degrades at varying rates according to the environment – may persist for 000’s years! Much shorter decay time in water – weeks only eDNA can be extracted from water without having to isolate the individual organism So why eDNA? Conventional capture methods: Labour-intensive Bulky equipment, costly to store & maintain Health & safety/biosecurity concerns Invasive / destructive (some methods) Limited effectiveness in some water types Hydroacoustics Information on size and abundance only, limited species ID Ineffective in many environments • Shallow, weedy, snaggy areas, marginal zones, benthic species The Process….. Water sampled & filtered (>3 x 15 ml -2L samples) Free-floating DNA (from sloughed skin cells faeces/urine, gametes, decaying matter) and microscopic taxa Next steps… Filtration and Non – specific PCR Extract DNA DNA extraction Blanks!

  • A Set of Synopses of Works Which Are Planned to Report at the KINR Annual Conference-2020
    A set of Synopses of works which are planned to report at the KINR Annual conference-2020 PLASMA PHENOMENA CONNECTED WITH THE TRANSFER OF ENERGY AND MOMENTUM BY EIGENMODES A. V. Tykhyy Institute for Nuclear Research, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine The phenomenon of SC of energy and momentum is a factor that can affect plasma performance in toroidal devices. It is associated with energetic ions produced by NBI, ICRH, and fusion reactions; but it can occur also in a Maxwellian plasma, being caused by suprathermal ions with energies exceeding the thermal energy by a few times. The latter is true, at least, for stellarators where Alfvén eigenmodes can be destabilized by the ion temperature gradient due to non- axisymmetric resonances. In the steady state, the mode energy flux is directed from the unstable region to the region where damping dominates, i.e., either outwards or inwards. However, when the drive exceeds the damping, so that the mode amplitude grows, the picture of the mode fluxes is more complicated, and both outward and inward wave energy / momentum fluxes in different plasma regions during the same instability may occur. Since SC transfers energy and momentum, it may affect plasma energy confinement (deteriorating or improving it), plasma rotation and concomitant frequency Doppler shift, the heating of the electron and ion components, and features of the eigenmodes themselves. In general, SC plays a considerable role when, first, the region driving the instability is well separated from the damping region Sketch of spatial channeling and, second, the mode amplitudes are not very small.

  • New Data on the Subfossil Fauna from “Forum Serdica” (Sofia City, Bulgaria; 3Rd-19Th Century AD)
    Published online 29 December 2017 Historia naturalis bulgarica • ISSN 0205-3640 (print) | ISSN 2603-3186 (online) • http://www.nmnhs.com/historia-naturalis-bulgarica/ Historia naturalis bulgarica, 24: 179-186, 2017 New data on the subfossil fauna from “Forum Serdica” (Sofia City, Bulgaria; 3rd-19th century AD) Zlatozar Boev Abstract: Presented are the results of the excavations in the central Sofia circus of 3rd-4th to 16-19th c. AD from 2016, deposited over the Roman “Forum Serdica”. They number 8313 bone/shell finds of 47 taxa (at least 36 species and domestic forms) of invertebrates (mollusks – land snails and freshwater mussels) and vertebrate animals (bony ray-finned fishes, birds and mammals /incl. man/). One species, the Aurochs, is globally extinct and 1 disappeared from the recent fauna of Bulgaria (Great bustard). Seven species are listed in the country’s Red Data Book: European carp, Great bustard, Eurasian lynx, Gray wolf, Red deer, Brown bear, and Wildcat.
