Declining fish biodiversity and stocks highlight Fishing is a popular and lucrative sport around the world and, in the importance of fishing regulations and catch-and-release some cases, may contribute to declining fish stocks. To mediate this programmes (Lewin et al., 2006). Catch-and-release involves problem and maintain fish biomass in aquatic ecosystems, catch- recreational anglers catching and then quickly releasing a fish and-release fishing, whereby a fish is caught and immediately back into the water to help preserve the fish biomass, while still released, has been implemented in many countries. It is unclear enabling the continuation of fishing practices (Pollock and Pine, whether the injuries to the mouth that are caused by the hook have an 2007). Catch-and-release was initially thought to have a very impact on feeding performance of fishes. Using high-speed video and minimal impact on fish populations given that anglers were not computational fluid dynamics (CFD), we asked whether injuries removing fish from the habitat (Bugley and Shepherd, 1991). around the mouth caused by fishing hooks have a negative impact on However, average post-release mortality can be as high as 67% due suction feeding performance (measured as maximum prey velocity) to the stresses from catch-and-release, raising questions about the of the commonly angled marine shiner perch (Cymatogaster efficacy of this fishing method (Bettoli and Osborne, 1998).

Feeding events were then recorded at 500 frames being brought up out of the water, where on the fish it was hooked, per second using a high-speed camera. Compared with the control the experience of the angler, the depth from which the fish was group, maximum prey velocity was significantly lower in the injured pulled, and fish size (Cooke et al., 2002; Bartholomew and group (P<0.01).

A study on the mortality of fishes after being protrusion and predator–prey distance were comparable between caught by recreational anglers indicates that fishes have species- the control and injured groups, leading us to conclude that the specific variability in their mortality, with most mortalities injury-induced hole in the buccal cavity wall reduced the pressure occurring between 4 h and 4 days after being caught (Broadhurst gradient during mouth expansion, thereby reducing the velocity of et al., 2005). Most studies generally do not consider the potential water entering the fish’s mouth. This was confirmed with our CFD impacts of hook injuries around the mouth as contributing to this modelling. Fishing injuries in nature are likely to depress feeding mortality, and it is generally viewed as the preferred way to catch a performance of fish after they have been released, although it is fish (Bartholomew and Bohnsack, 2005). Recent studies have currently unclear whether this has a significant impact on survival. examined the impact of hook removal (DeBoom et al., 2010) and the size and style of fish hooks (Robert et al., 2012) on the survival KEY WORDS: Fishing, Prey capture, Catch-and-release, Mortality, and feeding rate of freshwater fishes.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION In nearly every body of water around the world, the most abundant vertebrate is a fi sh. From the deepest parts of the ocean to high alpine streams, fi shes live and reproduce, sometimes in places where no other vertebrates can survive. Whether peering out from a submarine while conducting deep-sea research, or stopping for a drink of water during a hike in the mountains, explorers, scientists, and naturalists fi nd fi shes. With well over 30,000 species, fi shes account for more than half of the total extant vertebrate diversity on Earth— in other words, there are more living species of fi shes than of amphibians, turtles, lizards, birds, and mammals combined. Not only are fi shes diverse in number of their species, but they are diverse in the habitats in which they live, the foods that they eat, the ways in which they reproduce, communicate, and interact with their environment, and the behaviors that they exhibit. Fishes can also be extremely abundant: the most abundant vertebrates on the planet are the small bristlemouth fi shes (Gonostomatidae) that are common throughout the vast open ocean. In some cases abundant fi shes such as cods, tunas, salmons, herrings, and anchovies support massive fi sheries that feed hundreds of millions of people. By supporting coastal communities and societies, these fi sheries (and the fi shes they target) have helped shape human history, becoming the foundation for coastal economies and an engine for global exploration and expansion. WHAT IS A FISH? Humans use the term “fi sh” to refer to several groups of vertebrates that do not have a clear set of diagnostic characteristics unique to them.

  • Systematic Morphology of Fishes in the Early 21St Century
    Copeia 103, No. 4, 2015, 858–873 When Tradition Meets Technology: Systematic Morphology of Fishes in the Early 21st Century Eric J. Hilton1, Nalani K. Schnell2, and Peter Konstantinidis1 Many of the primary groups of fishes currently recognized have been established through an iterative process of anatomical study and comparison of fishes that has spanned a time period approaching 500 years. In this paper we give a brief history of the systematic morphology of fishes, focusing on some of the individuals and their works from which we derive our own inspiration. We further discuss what is possible at this point in history in the anatomical study of fishes and speculate on the future of morphology used in the systematics of fishes. Beyond the collection of facts about the anatomy of fishes, morphology remains extremely relevant in the age of molecular data for at least three broad reasons: 1) new techniques for the preparation of specimens allow new data sources to be broadly compared; 2) past morphological analyses, as well as new ideas about interrelationships of fishes (based on both morphological and molecular data) provide rich sources of hypotheses to test with new morphological investigations; and 3) the use of morphological data is not limited to understanding phylogeny and evolution of fishes, but rather is of broad utility to understanding the general biology (including phenotypic adaptation, evolution, ecology, and conservation biology) of fishes. Although in some ways morphology struggles to compete with the lure of molecular data for systematic research, we see the anatomical study of fishes entering into a new and exciting phase of its history because of recent technological and methodological innovations.

    ISSN 2070-7010 529 FAO FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE TECHNICAL PAPER 529 Integrated mariculture A global review Integrated mariculture – A global review global A – mariculture Integrated This technical paper provides a comprehensive review of current integrated mariculture practices around the world in three papers covering temperate zones, tropical zones and one semi enclosed ecosystem, the Mediterranean Sea. Integrated mariculture includes a diverse range of co-culture/farming practices, from integrated multitrophic aquaculture to the more specialized integration of mangrove planting with aquaculture, called aquasilviculture. Modern integrated mariculture systems must be developed in order to assist sustainable expansion of the sector in coastal and marine ecosystems thus responding to the global increase for seafood demand but with a new paradigm of more efficient food production systems. Successful integrated mariculture operations must consider all relevant stakeholders into its development plan, there is also a need to facilitate commercialization and promote effective legislation for the support and inclusion of integrated mariculture through adequate incentives particularly considering the reduction of environmental costs associated to monoculture farming. Bioremediation of fed aquaculture impacts through integrated mariculture is a core benefit but the increase of production, more diverse and secure business and larger profits should not be underestimated as additional advantages.

Therefore, Lauder's proposal for a model of suction feeding in fish is not valid. Contra: Lauder (1980a, b) 2. Theexperimenta l approach to determine thefunctio n ofa structure by removing or severing important parts of this system as done by Liem (1970) and Lauder (1979) is comparable to the old story of studying the locomotion of the rat by successively cutting its legs. For example: Fig. 2F, p. 547 in Lauder (1979) is comparable with the case of the rat havingjus t only one leg remained.
