  • Little Fish, Big Impact: Managing a Crucial Link in Ocean Food Webs
    little fish BIG IMPACT Managing a crucial link in ocean food webs A report from the Lenfest Forage Fish Task Force The Lenfest Ocean Program invests in scientific research on the environmental, economic, and social impacts of fishing, fisheries management, and aquaculture. Supported research projects result in peer-reviewed publications in leading scientific journals. The Program works with the scientists to ensure that research results are delivered effectively to decision makers and the public, who can take action based on the findings. The program was established in 2004 by the Lenfest Foundation and is managed by the Pew Charitable Trusts (www.lenfestocean.org, Twitter handle: @LenfestOcean). The Institute for Ocean Conservation Science (IOCS) is part of the Stony Brook University School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. It is dedicated to advancing ocean conservation through science. IOCS conducts world-class scientific research that increases knowledge about critical threats to oceans and their inhabitants, provides the foundation for smarter ocean policy, and establishes new frameworks for improved ocean conservation.

Scientific review, however, does not constitute an endorsement of the Seafood Watch® program or its recommendations on the part of the reviewing scientists. Seafood Watch® is solely responsible for the conclusions reached in this report. 2 About Seafood Watch® Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch® program evaluates the ecological sustainability of wild- caught and farmed seafood commonly found in the United States marketplace. Seafood Watch® defines sustainable seafood as originating from sources, whether wild-caught or farmed, which can maintain or increase production in the long-term without jeopardizing the structure or function of affected ecosystems. Seafood Watch® makes its science-based recommendations available to the public in the form of regional pocket guides that can be downloaded from www.seafoodwatch.org. The program’s goals are to raise awareness of important ocean conservation issues and empower seafood consumers and businesses to make choices for healthy oceans. Each sustainability recommendation on the regional pocket guides is supported by a Seafood Report. Each report synthesizes and analyzes the most current ecological, fisheries and ecosystem science on a species, then evaluates this information against the program’s conservation ethic to arrive at a recommendation of “Best Choices,” “Good Alternatives” or “Avoid.” The detailed evaluation methodology is available upon request. In producing the Seafood Reports, Seafood Watch® seeks out research published in academic, peer-reviewed journals whenever possible.

In this study, we defined quality, traceability and safety issues related to processed fish roe products from different species. The results obtained allowed to distinguish eggs originated from different fish species and to discriminate between fish roes and caviar samples obtained from four different sturgeons species. We observed that roes showed a trend of grouping according to ecological and reproductive habits of fish species. We highlighted the differences between eggs originated by farmed and freshwater fish, enriched in n6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and all the others, in which n3 PUFAs were prevalent.

  • SCRS/2013/132 Inventory and Ecology of Fish Species of Interest
    SCRS/ 2013/132 INVENTORY AND ECOLOGY OF FISH SPECIES OF INTEREST TO ICCAT IN THE SARGASSO SEA Brian E. Luckhurst¹ SUMMARY This paper provides information on the biology and ecology of a total of 18 different fish species whose distributions include the Sargasso Sea. These species are divided into four groups that correspond with ICCAT species groupings: Group 1 – Principal tuna species including yellowfin tuna, albacore tuna, bigeye tuna, bluefin tuna and skipjack tuna. Group 2 – Swordfish and billfishes including blue marlin, white marlin and sailfish, Group 3 – Small tunas including wahoo, blackfin tuna, Atlantic black skipjack tuna (Little Tunny) and dolphinfish, and Group 4 – Sharks including shortfin mako, blue, porbeagle, bigeye thresher and basking shark. For each species, information and data is provided on distribution, fishery landings, migration and movement patterns, reproduction, age and growth, food and feeding habits and ecology in relation to oceanographic parameters, primarily water temperature. The importance of Sargassum as essential fish habitat is discussed and is linked to the feeding habits of tunas and other pelagic predators . Flyingfishes are an important prey species in the diet of tunas and billfishes and as they are largely dependent on Sargassum mats as spawning habitat, the Sargasso Sea plays a fundamental role in the trophic web of highly migratory, pelagic species. KEYWORDS Sargasso Sea, Sargassum, tunas, swordfish, billfishes, sharks, biology, ecology, life history, oceanography ¹Brian E. Luckhurst, Consultant; Retired, Senior Marine Resources Officer, Government of Bermuda. Introduction The Sargasso Sea is located within the North Atlantic sub-tropical gyre and a series of currents define its boundaries with the most influential current being the Gulf Stream in the west.

In addition the north em part of the EU zone was surveyed to reveal ifNorwegian spring-spawning herring was present and the Svinøy environmental transect was tak en at the end of the cruise. Migrating Norwegian spring-spawning herring were recorded in an area between 67°N and 68° N and l o 20' W and 5° E. The herring occured in schools at 300-400 m depth in daytime, but rose to the surface and dispersed on same occasions at night.

  • Using Local and Scientific Knowledge to Predict Distribution and Structure of Herring Shoals
    NOT TO BE CITED WITHOUT ICES CM 1998/J:11 PRIOR REFERENCE TO THE Session (J): Variation in the Pattern ofFish aggregation: Measurement AUTHORS and analysis at different spatial and temporal scales and implications Using local and scientific knowledge to predict distribution and structure of herring shoals Steven Macldnson! and Nathaniel Newlands (Fisheries Centre, 22 04 Main Mall, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, V6T 1Z4,: corresponding author:email: [email protected],phone: (604) 822-2731,fax: (604) 822-8934) , Abstract Attempting to predict the distribution and structure of herring shoals is an ominous task given our incomplete understanding of ecological mechanisms. Despite recent attempts to link cross scale behaviour dynamics and distribution studies, there are still large gaps in our basic knowledge of shoal movements. Nonetheless, the knowledge of fishers and fishery managers is not incorporated in to our scientific analysis but such information is rich in observation since knowledge of fish behaviour and distribution is a pre-requisite for their profession. Combining such observations with more conventional scientific studies and theoretical interpretations provides a means by which, we may bridge some gaps in our knowledge. We present a framework in the form of a fuzzy logic expert systemwhose knO\vledge base incorporates both local and scientific knowledge in the form of heuristic rules, The knowledge base is flexible in the ,sense that it can easily be modified to add additional information or change current information. Additional 'operational rules' govern how the system utilises, its knowledge by setting priorities to certain factors under specific situations. The fuzzy system is driven by responses from an external user who provides information on biological and environmental aspects pertaining to the locality and time of year in which they wish to learn about In response, the system predicts structure and distribution patterns of herring shoals.

Woodruff Departments of Biomedical Sciences and Psychology, East Tennessee State University Abstract: Ray-finned fish are often excluded from the group of non-human animals considered to have phenomenal consciousness. This is generally done on the grounds that the fish pallium lacks a sufficiently expansive gross parcellation, as well as even minimally sufficient neuronal organization, intrinsic connectivity, and reciprocal extrinsic connections with the thalamus to support the subjective experience of qualia.
