Its title is the message left by the dolphins when they departed Planet Earth just before it was demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass.” INTRODUCTION This report is to celebrate the first 15 years of the Sea Around Us and to thank The Pew Charitable Trusts for having initiated and steadfastly supported this activity, which began as the ‘Sea Around Us Project’ in mid-1999. The project arose from a request by Dr. Joshua Reichert, the Director of the Environmental Program of The Pew Charitable Trusts, Philadelphia, that we answer six specific questions about the North Atlantic (and by extension throughout the world): 1. What are the total fisheries catches from the ecosystems, including reported and unreported landings and discards at sea? 2. What are the biological impacts of these withdrawals of biomass for the remaining life in the ecosystems? 3. What would be the likely biological and economic impacts of continuing current fishing trends? 4. What were the former states of these ecosystems before the expansion of large-scale commercial fisheries? 5. How do the present ecosystems rate on a scale from “healthy” to “unhealthy”? 6. What specific changes and management measures should be implemented to avoid continued worsening of the present situation and improve North Atlantic ecosystem’s “health”? In the first five years of its existence (summarized in Pauly, 2005), we documented that we had achieved these aims for the North Atlantic and were on our way to tackle the same issues for the world as a whole. Major steps in this were (i) papers in Nature (Pauly et al., 2002) and Science (Pauly et al. 2003), documenting the main trends in global fisheries, and particularly demonstrating that the world catch, which was at the time supposed to be increasing (FAO, 2000), was actually declining, a fact then masked by exaggerated catch data from China (Watson and Pauly, 2001), (ii) a book on the state of fisheries and ecosystems in the North Atlantic Ocean (Pauly and Maclean, 2003), and (iii) the demonstration that the biomass of large fish in the North Atlantic had radically declined since the onset of industrial fisheries (Christensen et al., 2003). The successes of the Sea Around Us, whose mission was fully articulated in Pauly (2007) continued during the next 5 years, as documented in our 10-year retrospective report (Pauly, 2010). In it, we described the “Top 10 Accomplishments of the Sea Around Us” as follows: 1 Pauly and Zeller Top 10 accomplishments in the first 10 years of the Sea Around Us 1. Created the first database in the world that maps catch and derived information, such as catch values onto to the Exclusive Economic Zones of specific countries, and Large Marine Ecosystems (see p. 39). This work has made the Sea Around Us website (www.seaaroundus.org) the key source of spatialized fisheries information for the international scientific and environmental communities, used by thousands of users every month; 2. Using the catch maps in (1) to establish that China, by over-reporting its catches, had masked a global decline of fisheries catches that started in the late 1980s. These results, published in the journal Nature, and later tacitly endorsed by FAO, provided the background for discussions about the global crisis of fisheries; 3. Debunked, via reports presented at meetings of the International Whaling Commission and a ‘policy forum’ article in Science (Gerber et al., 2009), the assertion promoted by the pro-whaling community that marine mammals and fisheries globally compete for fish, and thus that the culling of whales would make more fish available to fisheries; 4. Estimated the extent of subsidies to the fishing industry on a global basis and by subsidy type (see p. 49). Dr. Rashid Sumaila, in collaboration with Oceana, an environmental NGO, was able to introduce these findings into WTO negotiations aimed at eliminating capacity-enhancing subsidies to fisheries; 5. Produced a series of papers investigating the successes and limitations of consumer awareness campaigns. This work, led by then Ph.D. student Jennifer Jacquet, was among the first to question the effectiveness of consumer awareness campaigns on the seafood industry, and highlighted obstacles to these efforts, such as product mislabeling, and lack of metrics for measuring campaign effectiveness; 6. Developed and applied a methodology for ‘reconstructing’ catch statistics from coastal countries (see p. 15), which generally yielded catch estimates much higher than those reported by the FAO

  • On the Biology of Florida East Coast Atlantic Sailfisht' Íe (Istiophorus Platypterus)1
    SJf..... z e e w e t e k r " - Ka,; ,y, -, V öi'*DzBZöm 8429 =*==,_ r^ä r.-,-. On the Biology of Florida East Coast Atlantic SailfishT' íe (Istiophorus platypterus)1 JOHN W. JOLLEY, JR .2 149299 ABSTRACT The sailfish, Istiophorus platypterus, is one of the most important species in southeast Florida’s marine sport fishery. Recently, the concern of Palm Beach anglers about apparent declines in numbers of sailfish caught annually prompted the Florida Department of Natural Resources Marine Research Laboratory to investigate the biological status of Florida’s east coast sailfish populations. Fresh specimens from local sport catches were examined monthly during May 1970 through September 1971. Monthly plankton and “ night-light” collections of larval and juvenile stages were also obtained. Attempts are being made to estimate sailfish age using concentric rings in dorsal fin spines. If successful, growth rates will be determined for each sex and age of initial maturity described. Females were found to be consistently larger than males and more numerous during winter. A significant difference in length-weight relationship was also noted between sexes. Fecundity estimates varied from 0.8 to 1.6 million “ ripe” ova, indicating that previous estimates (2.5 to 4.7 million ova) were probably high. Larval istiophorids collected from April through October coincided with the prominence of “ ripe” females in the sport catch. Microscopic examination of ovarian tissue and inspection of “ ripe” ovaries suggest multiple spawning. Florida’s marine sport fishery has been valued as a in 1948 at the request of the Florida Board of Con­ $200 million business (de Sylva, 1969).

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    atlaFrequentlyntic white Asked mQuestionsarlin 2007 Status Review WHAT ARE ATLANTIC WHITE MARLIN? White marlin are billfish of the Family Istiophoridae, which includes striped, blue, and black marlin; several species of spearfish; and sailfish. White marlin inhabit the tropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas. They generally eat other fish (e.g., jacks, mackerels, mahi-mahi), but will feed on squid and other prey items. White marlin grow quickly and can reach an age of at least 18 years, based on tag recapture data (SCRS, 2004). Adult white marlin can grow to over 9 feet (2.8 meters) and can weigh up to 184 lb (82 kg). WHY ARE ATLANTIC WHITE MARLIN IMPORTANT? Atlantic white marlin are apex predators that feed at the top of the food chain. Recreational fishers seek Atlantic blue marlin, white marlin, and sailfish as highly-prized species in the United States, Venezuela, Bahamas, Brazil, and many countries in the Caribbean Sea and west coast of Africa. White marlin, along with other billfish and tunas, are managed internationally by member nations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). In the United States, Atlantic blue marlin, white marlin, and Atlantic sailfish can be landed only by recreational fishermen fishing from either private vessels or charterboats. WHAT IS A STATUS REVIEW? A status review is the process of evaluating the best available scientific and commercial information on the biological status of a species and the threats it is facing to support a decision whether or not to list a species under the ESA or to change its listing.

  • First Record and Description of Panulirus Pascuensis (Reed, 1954) First Stage Phyllosoma in the Plankton of Rapa Nui
    First record and description of Panulirus pascuensis (Reed, 1954) first stage phyllosoma in the plankton of Rapa Nui By Meerhoff Erika*, Mujica Armando, García Michel, and Nava María Luisa Abstract Among the most striking crustaceans from Rapa Nui Island (27° S, 109°22’ W) is the endemic lobster Panulirus pascuensis, commonly known as the spiny lobster. This species is also present in Pitcairn Island and the Salas y Gomez ridge. The larvae of this species pass through different phyllosoma stages until metamorphosis, in which they molt to puerulus, a transitional stage adapted to benthic life. This species is an important fishery resource for the inhabitants of Rapa Nui. However, there are several gaps in the biological knowledge of this species, including its ontogeny. We sampled zooplankton to obtain first stage P. pascuensis phyllosoma during three oceanographic campaigns around Rapa Nui (April 2015, September 2015 and March 2016), individuals were encountered between the surface and 200 m depth with an abundance of 1.3 indiv/1000 m3. These individuals, along with laboratory hatched phyllosoma, allowed us to describe the morphology of this larval stage. The P. pascuensis stage I phyllosoma were observed in fall, suggesting that the larval development would be synchronized with the productivity cycle in the region of Rapa Nui, where maximum chlorophyll concentration is observed during the austral winter. *Corresponding Author E-mail: [email protected] Pacific Science, vol. 71, no. 2 December 9, 2016 (Early view) Introduction The island of Rapa Nui (also known as Easter Island) is part of the Marine and Coastal Protected Area called Coral Nui Nui, Motu Tautara and Hanga Oteo submarine Parks (Sierralta et al.

This show was notable for acquainting the New York School with the medium as its artists would go on to embrace collage, creating objects that ranged from small compositions of handmade paper to mural-sized works of torn and reassembled canvas. Despite the significance of this development, art historians consistently overlook collage during the era of Abstract Expressionism. This project examines four artists who based significant portions of their oeuvre on papier collé during this period (i.e. the late 1940s and early 1950s): Lee Krasner, Robert Motherwell, Anne Ryan, and Esteban Vicente. Working primarily with fine art materials in an abstract manner, these artists challenged many of the characteristics that supposedly typified collage: its appropriative tactics, disjointed aesthetics, and abandonment of ―high‖ culture.
