Summary and Recommendations The Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI) requested an assessment of the Alaska Flatfish commercial fisheries according to the FAO Based Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) Certification Program. The application was originally made in September 2012. After Validation Assessment was completed in July 2013, a full Assessment Team was formed to undertake the assessment and final certification determination was awarded on the 05th December 2013. This report is the 1st Surveillance Report (ref: AK/FLAT/001.1/2014) for the Alaska Flatfish commercial fisheries. The objective of the Surveillance Report is to monitor for any changes/updates (after 12 months) in the management regime, regulations and their implementation, stock assessment and status, and wider ecosystem considerations since the previous assessment and to determine whether these changes and performance and current practices remain consistent with the overall confidence rating scorings of the fishery allocated during initial certification. In addition, any areas reported as “items for surveillance” or corrective action plans (following identified non- conformance) in the previous assessment are reassessed and a new conclusion on consistency of these items with the Conformance Criteria is given accordingly. The Unit of Certification is the Alaska flatfish complex distributed in the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) and specifically includes: BSAI Alaska plaice (Pleuronectes quadrituberculatus), BSAI/GOA arrowtooth flounder (Atheresthes stomias), BSAI/GOA flathead sole (Hippoglossoides elassodon), BSAI Greenland turbot (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides), BSAI Kamchatcka flounder (Atheresthes evermanni), BSAI/GOA northern rock sole (Lepidopsetta polyxystra), GOA rex sole (Glyptocephalus zachirus), GOA southern rock sole (Lepidopsetta bilineata) and BSAI yellowfin sole (Limanda aspera). The Alaska flatfish complex commercial fisheries employ Alaska flatfish trawl gear and longline gear (Greenland Turbot only) within Alaska’s jurisdiction (200 nautical miles EEZ). These fisheries are principally managed by two federal agencies, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC). The 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) and 2009 FAO Ecolabelling Guidelines for Marine Capture Fisheries were presented to an ISO 65/EN45011 accredited Certification Body, Global Trust Certification, to be used as the Standard for the assessment of Alaska Fisheries. The conformance reference points from the published FAO CCRF and Ecolabelling Guidelines (now referred to as Standard) were converted into the audit checklist criteria [FAO-Based RFM Conformance Criteria (Version 1.2, Sept 2011)] by the ISO 65/EN45011 Certification Body to ensure audit ability and feasibility for accreditation. The surveillance assessment was conducted according to the Global Trust Certification procedures for FAO – Based Responsible Fisheries Management Certification using the FAO – Based RFM Conformance Criteria V1.2 fundamental clauses as the assessment framework. The assessment was conducted by a team of Global Trust appointed Assessors comprising of one externally contracted fishery expert and Global Trust internal staff. Details of the assessment team are provided in Appendix 1. The main Key outcomes have been summarized in Section 5 “Assessment Outcome Summary” Form 11b Issue 1 Dec 2011 Page 3 of 155 FAO-Based Responsible Fisheries Management AK Flatfish 1st Surveillance Report II.

    Fisheries Update for Monday August 26, 2019 Groundfish Harvests through 8/17/2019, IFQ Halibut/Sablefish & Crab Harvests through 8/26/2019 Fishing activity in the Bering Sea /Aleutian Islands A season Groundfish Fisheries for the week ending on August 17, 2019, last week's Pollock harvest slowed down with an 8,000MT reduction from the previous week. The Pollock 8 season harvest is 60% completed thru last week. Last week's B season Pollock harvest came in at 48, 126MT fishing has .slowed down last week. The total groundfish harvest last week was 58,255MT (130million pounds). We are seeing increased effort in the Aleutian Islands on Pacific Ocean Perch last week's harvest of 1 ,938MT and Atka mackerel1 ,816MT. Halibut and Sablefish harvest statewide continues to see increased harvests, The Halibut harvest is 11.8 million pounds harvested 67% of the allocation has been taken. The Sablefish IFQ harvest is at 13.8 million pounds landed, the season is 53% of the allocation has been completed; Unalaska has had 46 landings for 820, 1171bs of Sablefish. Aleutian Island Golden King Crab allocation opened on July 15th with and allocation of 7.1 million pounds we have 4 vessels registered to fish the allocation. The Eastern District allocation is set at 4.4 million pounds and has had 7 landing for and estimated total of 600,000 to 800,000 harvested. The Western District at 2.7 million pounds there have been 5 landings for and estimated 200,000 to 250,0001bs harvested. For the week ending August 17, 2019 the Groundfish landings, showed a harvest of 58,255MT landed (130million pounds) most of last week's harvest was Pollock 48, 126MT (107 million pounds).

  • Parasitic Copepods of Marine Fish Cultured in Japan: a Review Kazuya Nagasawa*
    Journal of Natural History, 2015 Vol. 49, Nos. 45–48, 2891–2903, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2015.1022615 Parasitic copepods of marine fish cultured in Japan: a review Kazuya Nagasawa* Graduate School of Biosphere Science, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan (Received 22 September 2014; accepted 4 February 2015; first published online 29 June 2015) This paper reviews aspects of the biology of copepods infecting marine fish commer- cially cultured at fish farms or held as broodstock at governmental hatcheries in Japan. In total, 20 species of parasitic copepods have been reported from these fish: they are mostly caligids (12 spp.), followed by lernaeopodids (4 spp.), pennellid (1 sp.), chondracanthid (1 sp.), taeniacanthid (1 sp.), and unidentified species (1 sp.). The identified copepods are: Caligus fugu, C. lagocephalus, C. lalandei, C. latigenitalis, C. longipedis, C. macarovi, C. orientalis, C. sclerotinosus, C. spinosus, Lepeophtheirus longiventralis, L. paralichthydis, L. salmonis (Caligidae); Alella macrotrachelus, Clavella parva, Parabrachiella hugu, P. seriolae (Lernaeopodidae); Peniculus minuti- caudae (Pennellidae); Acanthochondria priacanthi (Chondracanthidae); and Biacanthus pleuronichthydis (Taeniacanthidae). The fish recorded as hosts include carangids (4 spp.), sparids (2 spp.), monacanthids (2 spp.), salmonids (2 spp.), scom- brid (1 sp.), tetraodontid (1 sp.), pleuronectid (1 sp.), paralichthyid (1 sp.), and trichodontid (1 sp.). Only five species (C. orientalis, L. longiventralis, L. salmonis, C. parva and A. priacanthi) parasitize farmed fish in subarctic waters, while all other species (15 spp.) infect farmed fish in temperate waters. No information is yet avail- able on copepods from fish farmed in subtropical waters. Three species of Caligus (C. fugu, C. sclerotinosus and C.

CALIFORNIA MARINE FISH LANDINGS FOR 1972 LEO PINKAS Marine Resources Region 1.1. INTRODUCTION The protection, propagation, and wise utilization of California's living marine resources (established as common property by statute, Section 1600, Fish and Game Code) is dependent upon the welding of biological, environment- al, economic, and sociological factors. Fundamental to each of these factors, as well as the entire management pro- cess, are harvest records. The California Department of Fish and Game began gathering commercial fisheries land- ing data in 1916. Commercial fish catches were first published in 1929 for the years 1926 and 1927. This report, the 32nd in the landing series, is for the calendar year 1972. It summarizes commercial fishing activities in marine as well as fresh waters and includes the catches of the sportfishing partyboat fleet. Preliminary landing data are published annually in the circular series which also enumerates certain fishery products produced from the catch.
