(Provisional Translation) the Monitoring Results on Radioactive (Provisional translation) The monitoring results on radioactive materials in fisheries products produced in Hokkaido The Hokkaido Government has been monitoring the level of radioactive materials in fisheries products landed at Hokkaido ports to confirm their safety. The results of the monitoring show that the radioactivity level was either Not Detectable or lower than the Provisional Regulation Value, established by the Government of Japan. * “< __” in the table below indicates that the measurement value is below the detection limit. The results that were provided without the information on detection limit appear as “Not detectable” on the table instead.

  • Movement Patterns of Black Rockfish (Sebastes Melanops)
    Biology, Assessment, and Management of North Pacific Rockfishes 39 Alaska Sea Grant College Program • AK-SG-07-01, 2007 Movement Patterns of Black Rockfish Sebastes( melanops) in Oregon Coastal Waters Steven J. Parker, Polly S. Rankin, Jean M. Olson, and Robert W. Hannah Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Hatfield Marine Science Center, Newport, Oregon Abstract We studied the movement patterns of black rockfish Sebastes( mela- nops) in Oregon coastal waters to estimate home range over daily to annual time scales, determine if females relocate during the reproduc- tive season, and evaluate the influence of environmental variation on movement. We moored 18 acoustic receivers in a 3 × 5 km array south of Newport, Oregon, at depths from 9 to 40 m. We then surgically implanted 42 black rockfish (34-48 cm total length [TL]) with coded, pressure transmitters having an approximate lifespan of 6 months. Fish were tagged in August (n = 6), September (n = 13), October (n = 7), and February (n = 8 depth and 8 non-depth). Fish were temporarily absent from the monitored area for short periods (usually <7 days) indicating limited travel outside the monitored area. Seven fish left the area per- manently. During one full year of monitoring, home ranges were rela- tively small (55±9 ha) and did not vary seasonally. Absences of females >39 cm (likely mature) from the array were longer in duration than for mature males, especially during the reproductive season (November, January, and February), but both sexes had the longest absences dur- ing April through July. These data indicate that black rockfish in open coastal waters live in a very restricted area for long periods as adults, but may relocate periodically.

  • Black Rockfish, Sebastes Melanops
    12 Black Rockfish, Sebastes melanops Black rockfish, Sebastes melanops. Photo credit: Edgar Roberts. History of the Fishery The black rockfish, Sebastes melanops, is an important recreational and commercial species in the nearshore rockfish group, particularly in areas north of San Francisco. Black rockfish are an important commercial nearshore species in California, specifically in the Crescent City port complex; 74 percent, by weight, of all black rockfish were landed there over the past decade. Black rockfish are recorded specifically in the market category “black rockfish” on landing receipts, but some black rockfish may also be recorded in other market categories such as “blue rockfish” or “rockfish, group black/blue.” Conversely, due to similarity in appearance, blue rockfish are sometimes recorded as “black rockfish” on landing receipts. Black rockfish are part of the deeper nearshore species complex composed of black, blue, brown, calico, copper, olive, quillback and treefish rockfishes. Since 2003, a Deeper Nearshore Species Fishery Permit (DNSFP) has been required to take deeper nearshore species. Black rockfish are caught primarily using hook and line gears, with marginal amounts caught in traps. In the past, black rockfish were also caught using trawl gear or gill nets. Since 1998, commercial landings of black rockfish made up approximately 52 percent of deeper nearshore rockfish species landings by weight. Commercial landings of black rockfish fluctuated between 110,603 pounds (50 metric tons) and 229,640 pounds (104 metric tons) from 1998 to 2008 (Figure 12-1) but showed no distinct trend. Many of the decreases in annual landings correspond to changes in management structure, as discussed below in Management Considerations.

  • Osteological Development of Wild-Captured Larvae and a Juvenile Sebastes Koreanus (Pisces, Scorpaenoidei) from the Yellow Sea Hyo Jae Yu and Jin-Koo Kim*
    Yu and Kim Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (2016) 19:20 DOI 10.1186/s41240-016-0021-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Osteological development of wild-captured larvae and a juvenile Sebastes koreanus (Pisces, Scorpaenoidei) from the Yellow Sea Hyo Jae Yu and Jin-Koo Kim* Abstract The osteological development in Sebastes koreanus is described and illustrated on the basis of 32 larvae [6.11–11.10 mm body length (BL)] and a single juvenile (18.60 mm BL) collected from the Yellow Sea. The first-ossified skeletal elements, which are related to feeding, swimming, and respiration, appear in larvae of 6.27 mm BL; these include the jaw bones, palatine, opercular, hyoid arch, and pectoral girdle. All skeletal elements are fully ossified in the juvenile observed in the study. Ossification of the neurocranium started in the frontal, pterotic, and parietal regions at 6.27 mm BL, and then in the parasphenoid and basioccipital regions at 8.17 mm BL. The vertebrae had started to ossify at ~7.17 mm BL, and their ossification was nearly complete at 11.10 mm BL. In the juvenile, although ossification of the pectoral girdle was fully complete, the fusion of the scapula and uppermost radial had not yet occurred. Thus, the scapula and uppermost radial fuse during or after the juvenile stage. The five hypurals in the caudal skeleton were also fused to form three hypural elements. The osteological results are discussed from a functional viewpoint and in terms of the comparative osteological development in related species. Keywords: Sebastes koreanus, Korean fish, Larvae, Juvenile, Osteological development Background Sebastes koreanus Kim and Lee 1994, in the family Osteological development in teleost fishes involves a Scorpaenidae (or Sebastidae sensu Nakabo and Kai sequence of remarkable morphological and functional 2013), is smaller than its congeneric species and is changes, occurring in different developmental stages regarded as endemic to the Yellow Sea (Kim and Lee (Löffler et al.

The development of polymorphic genetic markers, such as codominant nuclear microsatellites, has made it possible to study the paternity of individuals within a brood, helping to elucidate the species’ mating system. In the present study, paternity analysis was performed on 35 broods, representing 17 species of the live-bearing scorpaenid genus Sebastes. We report on the finding of multiple paternity from several species of Sebastes and show that at least 3 sires can contribute paternity to a single brood. A phylogenetically and ecologically diverse sample of Sebastes species was examined, with multiple paternity found in 14 of the 35 broods and 10 of the 17 examined species, we suggest that this behavior is not a rare event within a single species and is likely common throughout the genus. Despite high variance in reproductive success, Sebastes spp., in general, show moderate to high levels of genetic diversity.
