  • Rockfish Populations Around Galiano Island Freedom to Swim: Research Component for Rockfish Recovery Project
    GALIANO CONSERVANCY ASSOCIATION Rockfish populations around Galiano Island Freedom to Swim: Research Component for Rockfish Recovery Project 2013 Rockfish populations around Galiano Island Page 2 of 18 Executive Summary Rockfish (Sebastes), of the Scorpionfish family, are unique to the Pacific Northwest. As of 2012 there are 8 species listed as threatened or of special concern by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). Canary, Quillback and Yellowmouth rockfish are listed as ‘threatened’; Rougheye Type I, Rougheye Type II, Darkblotched, Longspine Thornyhead, and Yelloweye (outside waters and inside waters populations) rockfish are listed as ‘special concern’. Both species of Rougheye and both populations of Yelloweye rockfish are also listed under the Species At Risk Act as ‘special concern’. These predatory fish can live at great depths, and tend to live very long lives of 80 or more years (Lamb and Edgell, 2010). These factors, when combined with their primarily territorial lifestyles, have made them particularly susceptible to overharvest. There is a strong need to protect these species with enforced no‐take marine protected areas, and we can only hope that recent conservation efforts will be enough to recover some of the most depleted populations (Lamb and Edgell, 2010; McConnell and Dinnel, 2002). In the late 1980s the commercial rockfish fishery boomed, which led to a series of management responses in the 1990s to attempt to recover the rapidly depleting stocks in BC (Yamanaka and Logan, 2010). This also occurred in the US as a direct result of pressure on the salmon stocks ‐ fishermen were urged to divert their attentions to bottom fish (McConnell and Dinnel, 2002).

  • Bulletin of the United States Fish Commission
    BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES, FISH COMMISSION. 225 B6.’REPORT ON ’ BLACK COD OF THJ3 NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN.* By JAMES G. SWAN. NAm.-The Anoplo$oma $fimbria is known in California as candle- fish, Spanish mackerel, grease-fish, &c. ; among the Makah Indians of Cape Flattery, Wash., as “ beshow,” and by the white residents at the ’ cape ;LR (4 black cod.” On Queen Charlotte’s Islands, British Columbia, it is called “coal-fish” by white settlers, and by the Baidah Indians: who reside on those islands, it is called “skil.” At Hnight’s Inlet, British Columbia, it is called “kwakewlth.” Each tribe or locality where it is taken has a local name for it, but it is generally ]mown as blqck cod. The scientific name, Anoploporna $fimbria, has been adopted. by Gill, Jordan & Gilbert, and most other writers, although a specimen taken ob Mount Saint Elias, Alaska, \vas named by Pallas Gadus jimbria (Prbc. U. S. Nat. Museum, 1881, vol. 4, p. 254), thus showing that its resemblancei to the cod was observed by that naturalist. The tern1 ‘c cod” is applied by fishermen and fish-dealers on the North Pacific coast to a variety of fish which are not related to the genus Gadus, and are iiot found in Atlantic maters. The Oplbiodo?z eloizgatus is called, in San Francisco, buffalo cod, green cod, blue cod, &c. At Uape Flattery the Makah Indiaus call it “tooshlrow.” The whites call it knltus cod or inferior to true cod. The different variotics of Sebastiahthys are known in the Victoria and San Francisco markets as rock cod, but do not re- semble the rock cod of New England in any manner, being more like the perch, having remarkable development of sharp bony spines and prickles.

  • Fishes of the Pacific Coast of Canada
    PLATE V. Lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus). Two common shades of colour, illustrated on specimens about 30 inches long. PLATE VI. Blackbanded rockfish (Sebastodes nigrocinctus). Two common shades of colour, illustrated on a specimen 10 inches long. near Nootka but was not examined. In August, 1939, west of Cape St. James, Lat. 52° 49' N, Long. 1340 29' W, three specimens were obtained on a tuna lure and were recorded in 1940 by V. J. Samson. The albacore has been captured off the west coast of Vancouver Island in increasing numbers since 1939. The first large commercial catch was made in 1940. The abundance of the fish has proven to be rather variable in Canadian waters as it has off the California coast. This pelagic fish is distributed throughout all warm to temperate seas. Since no mature individuals have been taken anywhere along the Pacific coast of North America, it would seem that the albacore is a tropical fish whose young make extensive feeding migrations to distant regions and return to the tropics at the onset of maturity. The food consists of schooling small fishes such as anchovies, pilchards, herring, saunes, young mackerel and albacore, blue lanternfish (Tarle- tonbeania crenularis), as well as squid and zooplankton. It is a highly-prized sport and commercial fish and is taken with jigs made of bone, rags and feathers, towed behind boats. The commercial catch in Canadian waters is secured by trolling with bright red feather lures and is frozen for the most part, for subsequent canning. Fishermen sometimes refer to the albacore as the tuna or longfin tuna.

  • Determining the Diet of New Zealand King Shag Using DNA Metabarcoding
    Determining the diet of New Zealand king shag using DNA metabarcoding New Zealand King Shag, (Leucocarbo carunculatus) on Blumine Island, Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand in 2016 (Wikipedia commons). Aimee van der Reis & Andrew Jeffs Report Prepared For: Department of Conservation, Conservation Services Programme, Project BCBC2019-05. DOC MarineDRAFT Science Advisors Graeme Taylor and Dr Karen Middlemiss. November 2020 Reports from Auckland UniServices Limited should only be used for the purposes for which they were commissioned. If it is proposed to use a report prepared by Auckland UniServices Limited for a different purpose or in a different context from that intended at the time of commissioning the work, then UniServices should be consulted to verify whether the report is being correctly interpreted. In particular it is requested that, where quoted, conclusions given in Auckland UniServices reports should be stated in full. INTRODUCTION The New Zealand king shag (Leucocarbo carunculatus) is an endemic seabird that is classed as nationally endangered (Miskelly et al., 2008). The population is confined to a small number of colonies located around the coastal margins of the outer Marlborough Sounds (South Island, New Zealand); with surveys suggesting the population is currently stable (~800 individuals surveyed in 2020; Aquaculture New Zealand, 2020; Schuckard et al., 2015). Monitoring the colonies has become a priority and research is being conducted to better understand their population dynamics and basic ecology to improve the management of the population, particularly in relation to human activities such as fishing, aquaculture and land use (Fisher & Boren, 2012). The diet of the New Zealand king shag is strongly linked to the waters surrounding their colonies and it has been suggested that anthropogenic activities, such as marine farm structures, may displace foraging habitat that could affect the population of New Zealand king shag (Fisher & Boren, 2012).

    I lW\! " O.~~ NOAA Technical Report NMFS 55 July 1987 Proximate Composition, Energy, Fatty Acid, Sodium, and Cholesterol Content of Finfish, Shellfish, and their Products Judith Krzynowek Jenny Murphy u.s. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Marine Fisheries Service NOAA TECHNICAL REPORT NMFS The major responsibilities of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are to monitor and assess the abundance and geographic distribution of fishery resources, to understand and predict fluctuations in the quantity and distribution of these resources, and to establish levels for their optimum use. NMFS is also charged with the development and implementation of policies for managing national fishing grounds, development and enforcement of domestic fisheries regulations, surveillance of foreign fishing off United States coastal waters, and the development and enforcement of international fishery agreements and policies. NMFS also assists the fishing industry through marketing service and economic analysis programs. and mortgage insurance and vessel construction subsidies. It collects, analyzes, and publishes statistics on various phases of the industry. The NOAA Technical Report NMFS series was established in 1983 to replace two subcategories of the Technical Reports series: "Special Scientific Report-Fisheries" and "Circular." The series contains the following types of reports: Scientific investigations that document long-term continuing programs of NMFS; intensive scientific reports on studies of restricted scope; papers on applied fishery problems; technical reports of general interest intended to aid conservation and management; reports that review in con­ siderable detail and at a high technical level certain broad areas of research; and technical papers originating in economics studies and from management investigations.
