    A5 By-catch Species APPENDIX 5: BY-CATCH SPECIES A.5 By-catch species By-catch is the unintentional/incidental capture of non-target species during fishing operations. Different types of fisheries have different types and levels of by-catch, depending on the gear used, the time, area and depth fished, etc. Article IV of the Convention states: "the Commission shall be responsible for the study of the population of tuna and tuna-like fishes (the Scombriformes with the exception of Trichiuridae and Gempylidae and the genus Scomber) and such other species of fishes exploited in tuna fishing in the Convention area as are not under investigation by another international fishery organization". The following is a list of by-catch species recorded as being ever caught by any major tuna fishery in the Atlantic/Mediterranean. Note that the lists are qualitative and are not indicative of quantity or mortality. Thus, the presence of a species in the lists does not imply that it is caught in significant quantities, or that individuals that are caught necessarily die.

The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

Sherazul Islam*1 and ProggaLaboni Dutta2 Faculty of Biological Science and technology, Jessore University of Science & Technology, Jessore‐7408, Bangladesh ABSTRACT ISSN: 2456‐ 6268 The food and feeding habit and some aspects of reproductive biology of Xenentodon.cancila were conducted in greater Jessore region, South-western Bangladesh. ARTICLE INFO A total of 138 specimens were collected randomly from different fish markets from April Received: 24August 2018 2015 to March 2016. Guts were categorized in different status on the basis of its fullness Accepted: 10 December 2018 Available online: 30 December 2018 and it was showed that mostly empty (75%) followed by 14% full and 11% half full. Various food items were encountered in the gut of the fish, viz; zooplankton (32%), phytoplankton (20%), crustaceans (18%) and small fish (15%). As X. cancila largely KEYWORDS depends on animal materials (65%), it is indicated as a carnivorous fish. The present Xenentodon cancila investigation also revealed that males were significantly (P>0.01) dominant over female.

Thomas Fisheries Program Coordinator 2011 (Third edition, 2021) Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources Division of Fisheries Cover paintings by Rick Hill • Publication design by Adrienne Yancy Preface entucky is home to a total of 245 native fish species with an additional 24 that have been introduced either intentionally (i.e., for sport) or accidentally. Within Kthe United States, Kentucky’s native freshwater fish diversity is exceeded only by Alabama and Tennessee. This high diversity of native fishes corresponds to an abun- dance of water bodies and wide variety of aquatic habitats across the state – from swift upland streams to large sluggish rivers, oxbow lakes, and wetlands. Approximately 25 species are most frequently caught by anglers either for sport or food. Many of these species occur in streams and rivers statewide, while several are routinely stocked in public and private water bodies across the state, especially ponds and reservoirs. The largest proportion of Kentucky’s fish fauna (80%) includes darters, minnows, suckers, madtoms, smaller sunfishes, and other groups (e.g., lam- preys) that are rarely seen by most people.

  • Guide to the Coastal Marine Fishes of California
    STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE RESOURCES AGENCY DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME FISH BULLETIN 157 GUIDE TO THE COASTAL MARINE FISHES OF CALIFORNIA by DANIEL J. MILLER and ROBERT N. LEA Marine Resources Region 1972 ABSTRACT This is a comprehensive identification guide encompassing all shallow marine fishes within California waters. Geographic range limits, maximum size, depth range, a brief color description, and some meristic counts including, if available: fin ray counts, lateral line pores, lateral line scales, gill rakers, and vertebrae are given. Body proportions and shapes are used in the keys and a state- ment concerning the rarity or commonness in California is given for each species. In all, 554 species are described. Three of these have not been re- corded or confirmed as occurring in California waters but are included since they are apt to appear. The remainder have been recorded as occurring in an area between the Mexican and Oregon borders and offshore to at least 50 miles. Five of California species as yet have not been named or described, and ichthyologists studying these new forms have given information on identification to enable inclusion here. A dichotomous key to 144 families includes an outline figure of a repre- sentative for all but two families. Keys are presented for all larger families, and diagnostic features are pointed out on most of the figures. Illustrations are presented for all but eight species. Of the 554 species, 439 are found primarily in depths less than 400 ft., 48 are meso- or bathypelagic species, and 67 are deepwater bottom dwelling forms rarely taken in less than 400 ft.

  • Fish Overview
    The Toledo Zoo/ThinkingWorks Teacher Overview for the Fish Lessons Ó2003 Teacher Overview: Fish Fish have many traits that are unique to this particular class of animals. Below is a list of general fish traits to help you and your students complete the ThinkingWorks menu. This lesson focuses on typical fish that most people are familiar with, not on atypical fish such as seahorses. Fish are divided into three groups or classes, each with its own set of features. These classes include the bony fish (e.g., tuna and bass), cartilaginous fish (e.g., sharks and rays) and jawless fish (e.g., lampreys). We have included a list of the different fish found at The Toledo Zoo. Most of the fish are found in the Aquarium but there are also fish in the Diversity of Life. Note that animals move constantly in and out of the Zoo so the list below may be inaccurate. Please call the Zoo for a current list of fish that are on exhibit and their locations. Typical Fish Traits Lightweight, strong scales Lateral line for detecting for protection changes in turbulence along a fish as well as changes in water pressure Gas bladder for buoyancy, stability (internal) Symmetrical tail for Most fish have a well powerful swimming developed eye for locating prey, detecting predators and finding a mate. Flexible “lips” for picking up food Gills for extracting oxygen from the water Maneuverable, paired fins for Lightweight, strong moving forward and controlling skeleton for support roll, pitch and yaw q Fish are cold-blooded, obtaining heat from the surrounding water.

The authors would like to acknowledge the following persons who contributed to this work: Anthony J. Janicki, Raymond Pribble, and Heidi L. Crevison, Janicki Environmental, Inc. ii Anclote Salinity Tolerances October 2003 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Seawater desalination plays a major role in Tampa Bay Water’s Master Water Plan. At this time, two seawater desalination plants are envisioned. One is currently in operation producing up to 25 MGD near Big Bend on Tampa Bay. A second plant is conceptualized near the mouth of the Anclote River in Pasco County, with a 9 to 25 MGD capacity, and is currently in the design phase. The Tampa Bay Water desalination plant at Big Bend on Tampa Bay utilizes a reverse osmosis process to remove salt from seawater, yielding drinking water. That same process is under consideration for the facilities Tampa Bay Water has under design near the Anclote River.
