BOX; 1408, Lattakia, Syria [email protected] (corresponding author); [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Syria’s total marine fisheries catches were estimated for the 1950-2010 time period using a reconstruction approach which accounted for all fisheries removals, including unreported commercial landings, discards, and recreational and subsistence catches. All unreported estimates were added to the official data, as reported by the Syrian Arab Republic to the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Total reconstructed catch for 1950-2010 was around 170,000 t, which is 78% more than the amount reported by Syria to the FAO as their national catch. The unreported components added over 74,000 t of unreported catches, of which 38,600 t were artisanal landings, 16,000 t industrial landings, over 4,000 t recreational catches, 3,000 t subsistence catches and around 12,000 t were discards.

The presence of a developed byssus was also detected in some specimens of V. antiquata. A classification scale of this malformation, established depending on the degree of this anomaly, showed six initial types that evolve to form two or three feet, at the posterior and/or anterior sides of the animal. In order to determine the causes of this malformation, experiments of transplantation were carried out. Specimens of V. verrucosa collected from Zarzouna station were transplanted in Chaâra station which is characterized by low rate of malformations, low hydrodynamics and different sediment type and vice versa. Results revealed that foot malformations degree is highly correlated with both hydrodynamics and substrate type.

INTRODUCTION Research on the sea fauna along the coasts of Turkey was initiated by foreign researchers at the begining of the 20th century and entered an intensive stage with Turkish researchers in the 1940s. However, the fish fauna of Turkish seas has still not been fully determined. Of these researchers, Tortonese (1) listed 300 species. Papaconstantinou and Tsimenids (2) listed 33 species. Papaconstantinou (3) listed the most of 447 species for Aegean Sea. Slastenenko (4) listed 200 species for Sea of Marmara and 189 species for Black Sea. Tortonese (1) reported 540 fish species in whole of Mediterranean. Demetropoulos and Neocleous (5) gave a list of fishes for Cyprus area.

    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.

  • An Annotated Bibliography of Diet Studies of Fish of the Southeast United States and Gray’S Reef National Marine Sanctuary
    Marine Sanctuaries Conservation Series MSD-05-2 An annotated bibliography of diet studies of fish of the southeast United States and Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary U.S. Department of Commerce February 2005 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Ocean Service Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management Marine Sanctuaries Division About the Marine Sanctuaries Conservation Series The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Marine Sanctuary Division (MSD) administers the National Marine Sanctuary Program. Its mission is to identify, designate, protect and manage the ecological, recreational, research, educational, historical, and aesthetic resources and qualities of nationally significant coastal and marine areas. The existing marine sanctuaries differ widely in their natural and historical resources and include nearshore and open ocean areas ranging in size from less than one to over 5,000 square miles. Protected habitats include rocky coasts, kelp forests, coral reefs, sea grass beds, estuarine habitats, hard and soft bottom habitats, segments of whale migration routes, and shipwrecks. Because of considerable differences in settings, resources, and threats, each marine sanctuary has a tailored management plan. Conservation, education, research, monitoring and enforcement programs vary accordingly. The integration of these programs is fundamental to marine protected area management. The Marine Sanctuaries Conservation Series reflects and supports this integration by providing a forum for publication and discussion of the complex issues currently facing the National Marine Sanctuary Program. Topics of published reports vary substantially and may include descriptions of educational programs, discussions on resource management issues, and results of scientific research and monitoring projects. The series facilitates integration of natural sciences, socioeconomic and cultural sciences, education, and policy development to accomplish the diverse needs of NOAA’s resource protection mandate.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

  • Gonadal Structure and Gametogenesis of Trigla Lyra
    Zoological Studies 41(4): 412-420 (2002) Gonadal Structure and Gametogenesis of Trigla lyra (Pisces: Triglidae) Marta Muñoz*, Maria Sàbat, Sandra Mallol and Margarida Casadevall Biologia Animal, Departament Ciències Ambientals, Universitat de Girona, Campus de Montilivi, Girona 17071, Spain. (Accepted July 19, 2002) Marta Muñoz, Maria Sàbat, Sandra Mallol and Margarida Casadevall (2002) Gonadal structure and gameto- genesis of Trigla lyra (Pisces: Triglidae). Zoological Studies 41(4): 412-420. The gonadal structure and devel- opment stages of germ cells of Trigla lyra are described for both sexes. The ovigerous lamellae of the saccular cystovarian ovaries spread from the periphery to the center of the gonad where the lumen is located. In addi- tion to the postovulatory follicles and atretic oocytes, seven stages of development are described based on the histological and ultrastructural characteristics of the oocytes. Gonadal development is of the “synchronous group” type. This kind of development and the presence of postovulatory follicles in ovaries which still contain developing vitellogenic oocytes suggest that T. lyra spawns on multiple occasions over a relatively prolonged period of time. Drops of oil in the mature oocyte indicate that spawning is pelagic. The testes are lobular and of the “unrestricted spermatogonial” type. Male germ cells are divided into 8 stages that were principally ana- lyzed by means of transmission electron microscopy. The morphological characteristics of the spermatozoon, as a short head and a barely differentiated
