Larger individuals were mainly observed in late autumn.

The stomach contents of young saithe (both I- and 11-group. hut mainly 11-group) from t~vo areas, denoted A and B: on the western coast of Sorway have been analysed. l\'hen these juvenile saithe become two or more often three years old; they migrate from the coastal shallo~~~sto the North Sea. Nutrition may be an important factor governing or influencing this migration. In area A, the saithe had preyed almost exclusively upon plankton in the pelagic environment. The appendicularian Oikopleura dioica, the copepod Calanusfinmarchicus. and the krill Thl'sanoessa inermis each dominated the nutrition at times. In the winter, when krill seemed to be the most important single food organism, the saithe showed clear signs of starvation. In area B, CalanusJnmarchicus was the most common single prey. In this area the diversity of the stomach content was higher than in area A. Epifauna and hyperbenthos. consisting of isopods and amphipods attached to bottom vegetation. seemed to play an important role, especially Ivhen typical suitable plankton organisms were scarce. Larvae and yearlings of fish were at certain times important food for the saithe. Different species occurred in the diet at different times. Small differences in the length distribution throughout the sampling period are indicative of a gradual migration of the largest fish, mostly two-year-olds, a\vay from the coast.

  • Drivers of Body Size Changes in a Pollachius Pollachius Stock in NE Atlantic Coastal Waters
    Vol. 511: 223–235, 2014 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published September 24 doi: 10.3354/meps10939 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Drivers of body size changes in a Pollachius pollachius stock in NE Atlantic coastal waters Alexandre Alonso-Fernández1,*, Jaime Otero1, David Villegas-Ríos1,2, Rafael Bañón3 1Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (IIM-CSIC), c/Eduardo Cabello 6, 36208 Vigo (Pontevedra), Spain 2Institute of Marine Research (IMR), Flødevigen Marine Research Station, 4817 His, Norway 3Servizo de Planificación, Consellería do Mar e Medio Rural, Xunta de Galicia, Rua dos Irmandiños s/n, 15701 Santiago de Compostela (A Coruña), Spain ABSTRACT: Fish body size is a key life history trait that influences population dynamics. Indi - vidual growth and size distribution are generally affected by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. However, the drivers of body size changes are still poorly understood. The NW Iberian Peninsula is one of the most important fishing regions in Europe, where there is a special emphasis on arti- sanal fisheries. Despite the large contribution of small-scale fisheries to local communities, there is a lack of knowledge of the biotic and abiotic factors influencing the performance of coastal key species. In this study, we analyzed spatio-temporal changes in body size of Pollachius pollachius at the population level in response to a set of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Generalized additive mixed-effects models were fit to a data set of ~11000 records of individual body size of catch sampled by onboard observers during the last 13 yr in a complex multi-gear artisanal fishing fleet.

  • Recipes for Your Sustainable Seafood
    Recipes for your sustainable seafood Not sure how to cook what’s on offer at your local fish merchant? Here we recommend the fish that are sustainable to buy and suggest some recipes to try with them. Brown crab Cancer pagurus Brown crab, also known as edible crab, is the heaviest British crab. About a third of the weight of the crab is meat, two thirds is white and third is brown. It's used to make 'dressed crab' where the shell is cleaned out and used as the dish. Crab is also used to make fish cakes, crab sticks and paste. Brown crabs mature at about 10 years and averagely lives for 30 years, but some have been known to go on till they're 100! The vast majority of brown crabs in the UK are caught by potting. This is a low impact and relatively selective method of fishing, any bycatch or discards can be returned alive to the sea with high survival rates. Brown crab from the Inshore Potting Agreement Area in Devon, the Western Channel or Cornwall are the best choices for crab in the UK. Avoid eating crabs below the minimum landing size (13-14 cm in most areas of the UK) and crab claws, unless it is certain they have been removed from the animal after landing. Egg-bearing or "berried" females should be avoided at all times to allow them to spawn. (Information source: MSC Good Fish Guide) Brown crab Recipes - These four recipes from The Guardian include jungle curry with crab and a spring salad.

  • 65 GADI Phyc Phycis
    click for previous page 65 Diagnostic Features : Jaws subequal; barbel longer than eye. Second dorsal fin with 59 to 70 rays; anal fin with 57 to 66 rays; pelvic fin not reaching beyond end of pectoral fin. Colour: dorsally reddish brown, shading to white ventrally; posterior areas of vertical fins dark with pale margins. Geographical Distribution : Barents Sea and Iceland to Morocco; rare in the northwestern Mediterra- nean, off southern Greenland, and Canada (Fig. 119). Habitat and Biology : Demersal on rocky bottoms at depths of 15 to 600 m or more, commonly from 100 to 400 m. Young up to 1-2 years of age are coastal (15- 20 m depth) and pelagic; fish of 3 years migrate to greater depths. First maturity is reached at 5 years for males (80 cm) and 5-6 years for females (90-100 cm). Spawning occurs from March to July and eggs are pelagic. Fecundity may reach 20 to 60 million eggs per female. Major spawning grounds are located at 200 m depth from the Bay of Biscay to the Gulf of Norway at 100 to 300 m off southern Iceland, and at 50 to 300 m in the Mediterranean Sea. Growth is rapid (8-10 cm/year): at 1 year, 20 cm; 2 years, 31-35 cm; 3 years, 31-35 cm; 4 years, 73-83 cm. Females grow faster than males. The maximum age is 10 years for males and 14 for females (ca. 200 cm total length). Feeds mostly on fish (cod, herring, flatfish) but also on crustaceans (lobsters), cephalopods and Fig.
