  • Age and Growth of the Southern Blue Whiting Micromesistius Australis in the SW Atlantic*
    SCI. MAR., 64 (3): 269-274 SCIENTIA MARINA 2000 Age and growth of the southern blue whiting Micromesistius australis in the SW Atlantic* MARIA CRISTINA CASSIA Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, Paseo Victoria Ocampo N° 1, Mar del Plata (7600), Argentina. E-mail: mccassia@ inidep.edu.ar SUMMARY: Age and growth of southern blue whiting Micromesistius australis are studied. Sagitta otoliths from 3650 specimens were used for age determination. These were taken during research surveys and commercial catches in the South West Atlantic during 1994 and 1995. The size of fishes ranged from 17 to 60 cm total length, corresponding to ages 0 to 23 years. Females attained a greater asymptotic length (L∞ 59.74 cm) than males (L∞ 54.72 cm). Comparison of growth curves by the likelihood ratio showed that the differences among females and males were due to the asymptotic length, while the other parameters (K and t0) were not statistically different. The mean weight-at-age, mean length-at-age, and total mortali- ty (Z) were estimated. Growth parameters estimated by sex in the period 1994-95, mean size per age group, and the num- ber of individuals per age in the catches show differences with those calculated when the population was in the early stage of exploitation. A predominance of 2 to 9 year old individuals was observed in the total catches in 1994-1995, whereas in the beginning of the fisheries total catches were basically fish 15 to 19 years old. Key words: Micromesistius australis, age, growth, population-age structure, Southwest Atlantic.

  • Blue Whiting — a Key Species in the Mid-Water Ecosystems of the North-Eastern Atlantic
    International Council ICES CM 2002/L:28 forHeino the &Exploration Godø Theme Session L:ICES Census CM 2002/L:28of Marine of the Sea Life: Turning Concept into Reality Blue whiting — a key species in the mid-water ecosystems of the north-eastern Atlantic Mikko Heino and Olav Rune Godø Abstract. Blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) is a mesopelagic gadoid that is widely distributed in northeastern Atlantic from the Canary Island to Spitsbergen. It is abundant and commercially exploited in the Norwegian Seas, off Iceland, Faeroe Islands, Hebrides and Ireland, and in the Bay of Biscay. Blue whiting is a highly migratory species. During the spawning season (March-April), blue whiting concentrates to dense aggregations on the well- known spawning locations along the shelf edge west of Ireland and Hebrides and in the Rockall area. Other spawning areas also exist, but stock structure, distribution and migration of this abundant species are insufficiently known. The oceanic distribution of blue whiting westward, towards the mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR), has not been thoroughly investigated. Scattered observations show that the species occurs along the MAR from the Azores in the south to the Reykjanes Ridge in the north. The possibility that blue whiting is a key species in the mi-water community of the MAR should not be dismissed. Where present, blue whiting is often highly abundant, and plays an important role in the pelagic ecosystems, both as a consumer of zooplankton and small mesopelagics, and as a prey for larger fish and cetaceans. Is there a ‘stock’ of blue whiting over the MAR? If yes, is this stock separate from the stock(s) in the northeastern Atlantic? Institute of Marine Research in Bergen has proposed a component project of MAR-ECO that combines routine monitoring information with observations from the MAR-ECO surveys to evaluate the significance of blue whiting in the pelagic ecosystem of the MAR.

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.

  • Southern Blue Whiting (Sbw)
    SOUTHERN BLUE WHITING (SBW) SOUTHERN BLUE WHITING (SBW) (Micromesistius australis) 1. FISHERY SUMMARY 1.1 Commercial fisheries Southern blue whiting are almost entirely restricted in distribution to Sub-Antarctic waters. They are dispersed throughout the Campbell Plateau and Bounty Platform for much of the year, but during August and September they aggregate to spawn near the Campbell Islands, on Pukaki Rise, on Bounty Platform, and near the Auckland Islands over depths of 250–600 m. During most years, fish in the spawning fishery range between 35 and 50 cm fork length (FL), although occasionally a smaller size class of males (29–32 cm FL) is also present. Reported landings for the period 1971 to 1977 are shown in Table 1. Estimated landings by area from the trawl catch and effort logbooks and QMRs are given from 1978 to the present in Table 2, while Figure 1 shows the historical landings and TACC values for the main southern blue whiting stocks. Landings were chiefly taken by the Soviet foreign licensed fleet during the 1970s and early 1980s, and the fishery fluctuated considerably peaking at almost 50 000 t in 1973 and again at almost 30 000 t in 1979. The Japanese surimi vessels first entered the fishery in 1986, and catches gradually increased to a peak of 76 000 t in 1991–92. A catch limit of 32 000 t, with area sub-limits, was introduced for the first time in the 1992–93 fishing year (Table 2). The total catch limit increased to 58 000 t in 1996–97 for three years.
