Manojkumar Calicut Research Centre of Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute,West Hill, Calicut – 673005, India. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Food of the threadfin bream Nemipterus mesoprion from the fishing grounds off Malabar coast were studied based on 3361 specimens. The studies showed that the fish is a demersal carnivore, subsisting mainly on crustaceans, teleosts, molluscs, polychaetes and miscellaneous food items. The trophic spectrum of N. mesoprion composed of 26 food items. Fish in all size groups preferred crustaceans. Penaeid prawns, Acetes spp. and deep-sea prawns were the dominant crustaceans in the diet. Anchovies, scads, lizardfishes and whitefish were the teleosts that formed the major diet component. N. mesoprion showed preference for teleosts as they grew. Copepods, crabs and squilla were seen mostly in the stomach of juveniles and pre- adult fishes. Teleosts were the major food during January-March and in all the other months crustaceans were dominant in the food. Feeding intensity was poor during most of the months.

    Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences Vol. 20 (2015): 47-53 Reveived 5 May 2014 Accepted 19 Feb 2015 RESEARCH PAPER Protein resources and aquafeed development in the Sultanate of Oman Stephen Goddard 1* and Fahad Saleh Ibrahim 2 موارد الربوتني وتطوير أعﻻف اﻷحياء املائية يف سلطنة عمان ستيفن جودارد1* وفهد صاحل ابراهيم2 Abstract. The continued growth of intensive aquaculture is dependent on the development of sustainable protein sources to replace conventional fish meals in aquafeeds. Practical alternatives are plant-derived protein, protein from micro-organisms and protein from under-utilized marine resources. The challenges are to find alternative ingredients with high protein, suitable amino acid content, high palatability and absence of anti-nutritional factors. There is consid- erable biotechnology-based research in this area, including genetic modification of plant-based proteins, use of probi- otics to enhance digestibility and the renewed application of fermentation technologies to produce single cell proteins. Research in Oman is focused on the utilization of marine protein resources. Fisheries by-catch and processing waste have been evaluated as liquid hydrolysates and as meals for inclusion in aquafeeds and new research is planned on the utilization of meso-pelagic fish (myctophids), which occur in abundance in the Arabian Sea and the Sea of Oman. Initial studies have been conducted on the biochemical composition of the lantern fish,Benthosema pterotum, which revealed favorable protein, amino acid and long-chain PUFA content. Potential limiting factors were high levels of saturated lipids and the heavy metals arsenic and cadmium. These results will be discussed within a general review of marine resources and aquafeed development in Oman.

  • Bioinvasions in the Mediterranean Sea 2 7
    Metamorphoses: Bioinvasions in the Mediterranean Sea 2 7 B. S. Galil and Menachem Goren Abstract Six hundred and eighty alien marine multicellular species have been recorded in the Mediterranean Sea, with many establishing viable populations and dispersing along its coastline. A brief history of bioinvasions research in the Mediterranean Sea is presented. Particular attention is paid to gelatinous invasive species: the temporal and spatial spread of four alien scyphozoans and two alien ctenophores is outlined. We highlight few of the dis- cernible, and sometimes dramatic, physical alterations to habitats associated with invasive aliens in the Mediterranean littoral, as well as food web interactions of alien and native fi sh. The propagule pressure driving the Erythraean invasion is powerful in the establishment and spread of alien species in the eastern and central Mediterranean. The implications of the enlargement of Suez Canal, refl ecting patterns in global trade and economy, are briefl y discussed.

Committee Chairperson: Prof. Michael L. Berumen Committee Co-Chair: Dr. Alison Green Committee Members: Dr. Darren Coker, Prof. Rusty Brainard 3 COPYRIGHT © April 2021 Irene Antonina Salinas Akhmadeeva All Rights Reserved 4 ABSTRACT Fish Movement in the Red Sea and Implications for Marine Protected Area Design Irene Antonina Salinas Akhmadeeva The Red Sea is valued for its biodiversity and the livelihoods it provides for many. It now faces overfishing, habitat degradation, and anthropogenic induced climate-change. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) became a powerful management tool to protect vulnerable species and ecosystems, re-establish their balance, and enhance marine populations. For this, they need to be well designed and managed. There are 15 designated MPAs in the Red Sea but their level of enforcement is unclear. To design an MPA it is necessary to know if it will protect species of interest by considering their movement needs. In this thesis I aim at understanding fish movement in the Red Sea, specifically home range (HR) to inform MPA size designation. With not much empirical data available on HR for Red Sea fish, I used a Machine Learning (ML) classification model, trained with empirical literature HR measurements with Maximum Total Length (L Max), Aspect Ratio (AR) of the caudal fin, and Trophic Level as predictor variables.

    Indian Journal of Geo Marine Sciences Vol. 48 (11), November 2019, pp. 1733-1742 Characterization of low value bycatch in trawl fisheries off Karnataka coast, India and its impact on juveniles of commercially important fish species V. Mahesh1*, A.P. Dineshbabu2, A.S. Kumar Naik3, H.N. Anjanayappa3, M.E. Vijaykumar3, & Muttappa Khavi3 1Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Calicut Research Centre, Kozhikode, India 2Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Mangaluru Research Centre, Mangaluru, India 3College of Fisheries, Department of Fisheries Resources & Management, Mangaluru, India *[E-mail: [email protected]] Received 01 May 2018; revised 24 June 2018 Trawl fishery is a mixed fishery targeting numerous species and sizes simultaneously, and therefore remains a controversial fishing method due to consequential catch of huge amount of non-targeted species. Along with non- commercial species, bycatch also includes commercial species that are below minimum legal size (MLS) or less profitable fishes owing to market conditions. Advanced technologies in fishing methods and fleet infrastructure are being introduced and practiced. Such developments have ensued in heavy exploitation of juveniles of commercially important fishes. Mangaluru fisheries harbour witnessed an average 168 thousand tonnes (t) of trawl landings/year in 2012-14, of which 133 thousand t (79 %) was retained for edible purpose and 0.35 thousand t (21 %) was marked as “low value bycatch” (LVB) which mainly transported as raw material for fish meal production. To assess the sustainability of marine fisheries production, it is important to understand the species composition and the juvenile composition of the fishes in LVB. A total of 121 species of finfishes were recorded from LVB of multiday trawlers (MDT).

MAK executed the Annual catch and effort data were used to estimate the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) of Portunus experimental work, analysed the spp. to evaluate the population state of crab fishery from Pakistani waters. The catch and effort data data and wrote the article. YHJ, ME, of crab fishery from 1999-2009 were obtained from and handbook of Fisheries Statistics of Pakistan. SW and MAB helped in writing of the article. Two computer software programs CEDA and ASPIC were used which were based on surplus production models. From CEDA Fox, Schaeder and Pella-Tomlinson were used with initial proportion (IP) 0.9 were Key words used because the starting catch was 90% of the maximum catch the MSY estimated value from Fox with Fisheries statistics of Pakistan, Crab three error assumptions (normal, lognormal and gamma) were 3378 (R2=0.590), 3360 (R2=0.582), 3369 fishery, Portunus spp., Maximum (R2 =0.586), respectively, whereas the obtained values from Schaefer and Pella-Tomlinson with three error sustainable yield, overexploitation, assumptions were 2878 (R2=0.587), 3035 (R2=0.578) and gamma were minimization failure (MF) in both CEDA, ASPIC.
