Deep-Bottom Fish Identification Cards for Small-Scale Fishermen (Updated Deep-bottom fish identification cards for small-scale fishermen iq © Secretariat of the Pacific Community, 2013 These identification cards are produced by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) to help improve catch data and statistics from small-scale vessels that regularly target deep-bottom fish species. With a better understanding of small-scale vessel catches, regional fisheries managers can ensure that stocks are better managed throughout their range and that small-scale fishermen get more recognition and support for their contribution to food security and employment at the local level. The most likely users of these cards are small-scale fishers who actively target deep-bottom fish stocks, along with fishery officers who are tasked with monitoring these fisheries. Fisheries training institutions are other potential users. Printing of these cards was made possible through financial assistance provided by AusAID. Project coordination was done by the Oceanic Fisheries Programme’s Ecosystem Monitoring Section and the Fisheries Information Section, SPC. Illustrations were made by Les Hata and Rachel O’Shea. This publication is based on the Fish species identification manual for deep-bottom snapper fishermen by Chapman et al. (2008).

  • Lernaeenicus Ramosus (Copepoda: Pennellidae), a Parasite of Groupers from Off Japan, with Two New Host Records
    Biogeography 16. 53–56．Sep. 20, 2014 Lernaeenicus ramosus (Copepoda: Pennellidae), a parasite of groupers from off Japan, with two new host records Kazuya Nagasawa1*, Akihiko Yuasa2, Hiroyuki Doi3 and Susumu Isozaki4 1 Graduate School of Biosphere Science, Hiroshima University, 1-4-4 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima, 739-8528 Japan 2 Fisheries Research Division, Tokushima Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Technology Support Center, 1-3, Hiwasaura, Minami, Tokushima, 779-2304 Japan 3 Shimonoseki Marine Science Museum, 6-1 Arcaporte, Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi, 750-0036 Japan 4 1-1810 Ematsu, Nakagawa, Nagoya, Aichi, 454-0954 Japan Abstract. Adult females of the pennellid copepod Lernaeenicus ramosus Kirtisinghe, 1956 were collected from the following three species of groupers in Japanese waters: the longtooth grouper Epinephelus bruneus Bloch, 1793 in the western North Pacific off Tokushima Prefecture, Shikoku; the brownspotted grouper Epinephelus chlorostigma (Valenciennes, 1828) in the western North Pacific off Mie Prefecture, central Hon- shu; and the convict grouper Hyporthodus septemfasciatus (Thunberg, 1793) in the southern Sea of Japan off Yamaguchi Prefecture, western Honshu. Epinephelus bruneus and E. chlorostigma are new host records for L. ramosus. Key words: Lernaeenicus ramosus, fish parasite, new host record, grouper, Epinephelus bruneus, Epinephelus chlorostigma, Hyporthodus septemfasciatus The pennellid copepod Lernaeenicus ramosus southern Japan. Subsequently, no papers regarding L. Kirtisinghe, 1956 was originally described by Kir- ramosus had been published in Japan for more than tisinghe (1956) based on female specimens from 40 years. Since 2007, however, when the species was the comet grouper Epinephelus morrhua (Valen- reported from E. akaara in the Seto Inland Sea (Doi, ciennes, 1833) caught off Sri Lanka (as Ceylon) in 2007), our knowledge has been increasing on its host the Indian Ocean.

Snapper and grouper are important fishery resources with great commercial value for exporters to major international markets. The fisheries also support the livelihoods and food security of many local, small-scale fishing communities worldwide. It is therefore all the more critical that management of these fisheries improves, thus ensuring this important resource will remain available to provide both food and income. Landings of snapper and grouper have been steadily increasing: in the 1950s, total landings were about 50,000 tonnes, but they had grown to more than 612,000 tonnes by 2013.

    A REVIEW OF THE SPARID^ AND RELATED FAMILIES OF PERCH-LIKE FISHES FOUND IN THE WATERS OF JAPAN. By David Starr Jordan and William Francis Thompson, Of Stanford University, California. In the present paper is given a review of the species of fishes belonging to those percomorphoiis famihes alUed to the Sparoid fishes, or fishes related to the tai or porgy of the waters of Japan, which have not been hitherto discussed in these pages by the senior author and his associates. The families of Kuldiidse, Priacanthidse, Theraponidse, Banjosidae, Hsemulidae, Sparidse, Kyphosidse, and Ery- thrichthyidse are thus included. The paper is based on material collected in Japan in 1900 by Pro- fessors Jordan and Snyder and now divided between the United States National Museum and the museum of Stanford University. Most of the cuts are from drawings by Mr. Sekko Shimada. The families here named are adopted provisionally only. The dis- tinctions between Sparidse, Haemulidse, Lutianidae, and their relatives are of doubtful value, while at present no definite boundaries can be assigned to the Serranidse. L Family KUHLIID.^.

  • Deep-Bottom Fish Identification Cards for Small-Scale Fishermen
    Deep-bottom fish identification cards for small-scale fishermen iq © Secretariat of the Pacific Community, 2013 These identification cards are produced by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) to help improve catch data and statistics from small-scale vessels that regularly target deep-bottom fish species. With a better understanding of small-scale vessel catches, regional fisheries managers can ensure that stocks are better managed throughout their range and that small-scale fishermen get more recognition and support for their contribution to food security and employment at the local level. The most likely users of these cards are small-scale fishers who actively target deep-bottom fish stocks, along with fishery officers who are tasked with monitoring these fisheries. Fisheries training institutions are other potential users. Printing of these cards was made possible through financial assistance provided by AusAID. Project coordination was done by the Oceanic Fisheries Programme’s Ecosystem Monitoring Section and the Fisheries Information Section, SPC. Illustrations were made by Les Hata and Rachel O’Shea. This publication is based on the Fish species identification manual for deep-bottom snapper fishermen by Chapman et al. (2008).
