They are now, because they contained ideas and/or data that may still be valuable. Two of the contributions in this volume are based on work conducted in the 1980s, a period during which manuscripts that remained unpublished could legitimately be cited, as exemplified by the unpublished essay on the effects of closing the Bering Strait on global climate, by the late Maxwell J. Dunbar. Currently, rules may be stricter, and it is thus appropriate to nudge unpublished essays from where they are, at the cusp of the transition from private knowledge to public knowledge. This accounts for the fact that, for scientists, it is act of publishing that counts; this is what connects them with other scientists, and opens the public debates that characterize science (besides establishing priority for any original idea). Nowadays, the journals’ guides to would-be-authors of scientific papers tend to stress that unpublished manuscripts (as opposed to material from the Internet, ephemeral or not) should not be listed in the ‘literature cited’ sections of papers. This can lead to the loss of valuable knowledge, and hence this compilation, through which we attempt to ‘save’, i.e., make more widely available what we could of some of the research that we, our graduate students and/or close colleagues have been conducting. The majority of the contributions deal with various aspects of the growth of fish, a major structuring feature of their life histories, and the basis of their productivity when under exploitation. When editing these contributions, we linked them, where appropriate, with the theory elaborated by one of us (D.P.), on the limiting role of fish gills, and hence oxygen supply, for the growth of fish, which has begun to attract attention, given observed and/or anticipated effects of global warming on fish growth. This theory explains, among other things: • Why fish (and aquatic invertebrates, as well) grow the way they do (asymptotically, predictably, temperature-dependent, etc.); • Why fish reach maturity at a size that is a predictable fraction of their maximum size even when the latter varies due to environmental forcing, but sometimes 'skip' spawning; • Why the food conversion efficiency of fish and aquatic invertebrates varies with size, temperature and dissolved oxygen; • Why fish larvae have very discernable daily rings on their otoliths (and squid larvae on their statoliths), which are less visible in adults; • Why visceral fat is abundant in cold temperate fish exhibiting strong seasonal growth oscillations, but not in tropical and polar fish exposed to narrow ranges of temperature; and • Why fish and aquatic invertebrates are spatially distributed the way they are, and why they migrate as they do. The other contributions in this report cover various topics in fisheries biology, marine ecology and ecosystem modelling, the last of which perhaps not being what it seems.

Karachle1 1 Institute of Marine and Biological Resources and Inland Waters, Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, Aghios Kosmas, Athens, Greece 2Department of Marine Sciences, University of the Aegean, University Hill, 81100 Mytilene, Greece [email protected] ABSTRACT Age and growth of Mediterranean slimehead, Hoplostethus mediterraneus in the Ionian Sea, Greece, were studied and morphometric relationships of otolith morphological characteristics were established, based on samples collected in 1996-1997. The length-weight relationships were positively allometric (sexes separately and combined). A strong correlation was found between total length (TL) and otolith weight, with the morphological characteristics of the otoliths (i.e., length, diameter, width and perimeter). The maximum age recorded, based on otolith reading, was nine years, for a female individual of TL of 22.2 cm, while males reached a maximum age of six years (TL=19.9 cm). Five different growth models were compared: the von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF), the generalized VBGF, the Gompertz model, the logistic model, and a power model. The VBGM and Gompertz had substantial support by the data of female growth, while Gompertz and the logistic model were substantially supported for the growth of males. With the combined sexes, three models had substantial support: VBGF, generalized VBGF, and Gompertz. The model-averaged asymptotic length of H. mediterraneus was estimated (point estimate and 95% confidence interval in parentheses): 22.5 cm (20.9 – 24.0), 22.0 cm (16.0 – 28.1) and 23.6 cm (21.4 – 25.8), for females, males, and combined sexes respectively. The estimated parameters of the von Bertalanffy equation for both sexes -1 combined were: L∞=23.9 cm, K = 0.242 year , and t0= -1.39 years, whereas for the two sexes separately were -1 -1 estimated as: L∞=24.2 cm, K= 0.241 year , t0= -1.32 years, and L∞=23.2 cm, K= 0.244 year , t0= -1.52 years, for females and males respectively. INTRODUCTION Deep-sea fishes have been in the centre of scientific interest during the past few decades, as it is widely acknowledged that they comprise very sensitive stocks, mainly due to their high longevity, and low growth rates and reproduction outputs (e.g. Clark 2001). Their study has been made feasible due to technological enhancement related to sampling ability in greater depths, combined with economic aspects

  • Demersal and Epibenthic Assemblages of Trawlable Grounds in the Northern Alboran Sea (Western Mediterranean)
    SCIENTIA MARINA 71(3) September 2007, 513-524, Barcelona (Spain) ISSN: 0214-8358 Demersal and epibenthic assemblages of trawlable grounds in the northern Alboran Sea (western Mediterranean) ESTHER ABAD 1, IZASKUN PRECIADO 1, ALBERTO SERRANO 1 and JORGE BARO 2 1 Centro Oceanográfico de Santander, Instituto Español de Oceanografía, Promontorio de San Martín, s/n, P.O.

Box 285, 29640 Fuengirola, Málaga, Spain SUMMARY: The composition and abundance of megabenthic fauna caught by the commercial trawl fleet in the Alboran Sea were studied. A total of 28 hauls were carried out at depths ranging from 50 to 640 m. As a result of a hierarchical clas- sification analysis four assemblages were detected: (1) the outer shelf group (50-150 m), characterised by Octopus vulgaris and Cepola macrophthalma; (2) the upper slope group (151-350 m), characterised by Micromesistius poutassou, with Plesionika heterocarpus and Parapenaeus longirostris as secondary species; (3) the middle slope group (351-640 m), char- acterised by M. poutassou, Nephrops norvegicus and Caelorhincus caelorhincus, and (4) the small seamount Seco de los Olivos (310-360 m), characterised by M. poutassou, Helicolenus dactylopterus and Gadiculus argenteus, together with Chlorophthalmus agassizi, Stichopus regalis and Palinurus mauritanicus. The results also revealed significantly higher abundances in the Seco de los Olivos seamount, probably related to a higher food availability caused by strong localised cur- rents and upwellings that enhanced primary production. Although depth proved to be the main structuring factor, others such as sediment type and food availability also appeared to be important.

This study analysed four groundfish biomass surveys (POKER 1–4) conducted from 2006 to 2017 across depths ranging from 100 to 1 000 m. Forty demersal species were recorded in total and density distributions of twenty presented. However, only seven species account for the majority of the biomass (96%). Total biomass was 250 000 tonnes during the first three surveys (POKER 1–3), and 400 000 tonnes for POKER 4 due to a high catch of marbled notothen (Notothenia rossii) and mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) (accounting for 44% and 17% of the 400 000 tonnes biomass respectively).

Naganobu Affiliation(s) 1) Laboratory of Biology, Tokyo Kasei Gakuin University 2) National Research Institute of Far Seas Fisheries Published or accepted for publication elsewhere? Yes No x If published, give details ABSTRACT A field key to early life stages of Antarctic fish caught along with the Antarctic krill is produced. The key includes 8 families and 28 species mainly from the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean and uses distinguished characters which permit rapid field identification. In some cases, however, it is impossible to discriminate among species of the same family by remarkable characters. A species key is not shown for such resemble species and a brief summary of the main morphological features of species and genera is provided. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AS RELATED TO NOMINATED AGENDA ITEMS Agenda Item Finding 4.3 We are producing a practical field key to juvenile fish caught along with the Antarctic Scientific krill. To our knowledge more than 40 species of fish have been found as by-catch. Observation However, the number of dominant fish species found in the krill catch never exceeds 20 species. An useful and practical identification key to these dominant species maybe facilitate the quantitative assessment of fish in the krill catch.
