    Aspects of the Life History of Hornyhead Turbot, Pleuronichthys verticalis, off Southern California he hornyhead turbot T(Pleuronichthys verticalis) is a common resident flatfish on the mainland shelf from Magdalena Bay, Baja Califor- nia, Mexico to Point Reyes, California (Miller and Lea 1972). They are randomly distributed over the bottom at a density of about one fish per 130 m2 and lie partially buried in the sediment (Luckinbill 1969).

  • A Proposition for an Octopus Fishery in the Aleutian Islands
    Adams et. al., 1 A Proposition for an Octopus Fishery in the Aleutian Islands By: Aaron Adams, Jessica Andersen, Kevin Huynh, Valerie Sours, and Natalie Waldron. Unalaska City High School Unalaska Raiders (temporary) 55 East Broadway PO Box 570 Unalaska, AK 99685 Primary contact for the paper: Aaron Adams: [email protected] Adams et. al., 2 Abstract With global fisheries on the decline, fishermen have been forced to diversify their fishing efforts. Cephalopod resources are on the rise and may have a potential application to supplement the fishing industry. In many countries, octopuses are underutilized and may have the potential to become a profitable market. However, one exception to this rule is the octopus market in Japan has proven to be sustainable for over 50 years. We recommend a science-based approach to researching and managing an experimental North Pacific Giant Octopus fishery in the Aleutian Chain. Our ecosystem approach to managing this fishery will likely prove profitable to small communities throughout southwestern Alaska, thus providing security for commercial fishing longevity. Adams et. al., 3 Introduction With the onset of global climate change and diminishing marine resources from overfishing, many fishermen are wondering about their future. As fishery managers attempt to conservatively manage species, fishermen are finding that each year they are bringing home less and less catch. One solution to this problem is for fishermen to diversify their fishing efforts. This could mean fishing new areas, using new gear types and possibly fishing new species. While most established fisheries are fairly competitive, there may be a potential to gain a foothold in undeveloped or underutilized fisheries.

  • Greenland Turbot Assessment
    6HFWLRQ STOCK ASSESSMENT OF GREENLAND TURBOT James N. Ianelli, Thomas K. Wilderbuer, and Terrance M. Sample 6XPPDU\ Changes to this year’s assessment in the past year include: 1. new summary estimates of retained and discarded Greenland turbot by different target fisheries, 2. update the estimated catch levels by gear type in recent years, and 3. new length frequency and biomass data from the 1998 NMFS eastern Bering Sea shelf survey. Conditions do not appear to have changed substantively over the past several years. For example, the abundance of Greenland turbot from the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) shelf-trawl survey has found only spotty quantities with very few small fish that were common in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The majority of the catch has shifted to longline gear in recent years. The assessment model analysis was similar to last year but with a slightly higher estimated overall abundance. We attribute this to a slightly improved fit to the longline survey data trend. The target stock size (B40%, female spawning biomass) is estimated at about 139,000 tons while the projected 1999 spawning biomass is about 110,000 tons. The adjusted yield projection from F40% computations is estimated at 20,000 tons for 1999, and increase of 5,000 from last year’s ABC. Given the continued downward abundance trend and no sign of recruitment to the EBS shelf, extra caution is warranted. We therefore recommend that the ABC be set to 15,000 tons (same value as last year). As additional survey information become available and signs of recruitment (perhaps from areas other than the shelf) are apparent, then we believe that the full ABC or increases in harvest may be appropriate for this species.

  • Halibut Assessment Report for 2017 Draft Paul J. Rago for New England Fishery Management Council Last Updated: December 1, 2017
    1 Halibut Assessment Report for 2017 Draft Paul J. Rago for New England Fishery Management Council Last updated: December 1, 2017 Executive Summary • Survey, landings and discard estimates were updated for the US stock area. • Alternative measures of abundance from Maine sources were considered as potential measures of stock trend. • A review of data poor methods suggests that most have limited utility for Atlantic halibut, however the DCAC model was considered further. • A ratio method (Rcrit) was developed using randomization methods. Simulation tests suggested that the method had utility as a robust measure of population change and the significance of these changes. • Application of the Rcrit method to the US and DFO stocks suggest comparable increases of about 9 to 12% per year since the early 2000’s • An “Envelope Method” was applied to estimate relative scale of the population. The Envelope consists of upper and lower bounds of relative abundance that jointly satisfy constraints on abundance based on a range of hypothesized historical fishing mortality and survey catchability estimates. • Results of the Rcrit and Envelope method were combined to improve the DCAC model but its overall performance is considered unreliable and still governed by strong assumptions. • A catch forecasting algorithm was developed based on the observed rates of change in one or more indices of relative abundance. The method resembles algorithms commonly used for control of linear systems in engineering applications. The magnitude of catch adjustment depends on the aggregate rate of change in one or more abundance indices in prior years. The method estimates the first and second derivative of population change using loglinear regression.

  • Fixed Gear Recommendations for the Cumberland Sound Greenland Halibut Fishery
    Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Central and Arctic Region Science Response 2008/011 FIXED GEAR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE CUMBERLAND SOUND GREENLAND HALIBUT FISHERY Context In a letter dated March 14, 2008, the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board (NWMB) requested Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science advice on ways Greenland halibut fishing could be conducted in Cumberland Sound such that conservation concerns with non-directed by- catch of marine mammals and Greenland sharks are minimized or alleviated. On March 31, 2008, Fisheries and Aquaculture Management (FAM) submitted a request to Science for advice to address this request. Given the response was needed prior to the open-water fishing season (July 2008) and since the NWMB is the final advisory body for this request, DFO Central and Arctic Science determined that a Special Science Response Process would be used. Background The Cumberland Sound Greenland halibut (turbot) fishery began in 1986 and has been traditionally exploited during the winter months using longline gear set on the bottom through holes cut in the ice. Fishing typically takes place along a deep trench (>500 m) that extends toward Imigen Island and Drum Islands (Fig. 1). In 2005, a new management zone was established in Cumberland Sound with a Total Allowable Catch (TAC) of 500 t separate from the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) Division 0B TAC. Catches in the winter fishery peaked in 1992 at 430 t then declined to levels below 100 t through the late 1990s and peaked again at 245 t in 2003. However, in recent years catches have declined significantly with harvests of 9 t, 70 t and 3 t for 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively.
