Salmon farms destroying wild salmon populations in Canada, Europe: study ALISON AULD . Canadian Press NewsWire . Toronto: Feb 11, 2008. Abstract (Summary) The authors, including the late Halifax biologist Ransom Myers, claim the study is the first of its kind to take an international view of stock sizes in countries that have significant salmon aquaculture industries. The paper didn't look to the causes of the declines, which have been discussed in a series of studies over the last decade that have linked disease, interbreeding of escaped salmon and lice from farmed fish with reductions. Full Text (618 words) Copyright Canadian Press Feb 11, 2008 HALIFAX _ Salmon farming operations have reduced wild salmon populations by up to 70 per cent in several areas around the world and are threatening the future of the endangered stocks, according a new scientific study. The research by two Canadian marine biologists showed dramatic declines in the abundance of wild salmon populations whose migration takes them past salmon farms in Canada, Ireland and Scotland. ``Our estimates are that they reduced the survival of wild populations by more than half,'' Jennifer Ford, lead author of the study published Monday in the Public Library of Science journal, said in Halifax. ``Less than half of the juvenile salmon from those populations that would have survived to come back and reproduce actually come back because they're killed by some mechanism that has to do with salmon farming.'' The authors, including the late Halifax biologist Ransom Myers, claim the study is the first of its kind to take an international view of stock sizes in countries that have significant salmon aquaculture industries. Ford said wild salmon populations in Atlantic Canada have been hit the hardest, with rivers in New Brunswick and Newfoundland that have stocks that swim past farms dropping steeply over the years. The scientists compared the survival of wild salmon that travel near farms to those that don't, finding that upward of 50 per cent of the salmonid that do pass by farms don't survive. ``There's really strong evidence that this can have impacts on wild salmon and in particular in places like Atlantic Canada, where Atlantic salmon populations are doing so badly,'' Ford said. ``It's worrying.'' The paper didn't look to the causes of the declines, which have been discussed in a series of studies over the last decade that have linked disease, interbreeding of escaped salmon and lice from farmed fish with reductions. An article last December asserted that Canadian fish farming is destroying wild salmon stocks and could completely wipe them out within four years in one area of British Columbia. The study published in the journal Science contends that aquaculture damages wild populations by infecting juveniles with fatal parasites. Trevor Swerdfager, director general of aquaculture management for the federal Fisheries Department, said he will take a close look at the new research. But he added he has so far not seen any proof that salmon farms harm wild populations. ``We look at the impact of salmon farming on wild salmon _ if there is one _ and we just haven't seen those sort of impacts,'' he said from Ottawa. He said stock declines, particularly in the Bay of Fundy, are still a bit of a mystery, but there are other pressures at play that 1 of 2 8/2/2008 4:15 PM Document View http://proquest.umi.com.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/pqdlink?index=1&s... could be linked to the reductions. Ecosystem changes, fishing and other stresses linked to climate change are likely having an effect on the health of the wild populations. ``Atlantic salmon populations are not what they were historically, but can you tie that to the absence or presence of salmon farms? I don't think so,'' he said, adding that researchers looking at that stock have never linked the decline to farms. The latest research by Ford, which covered a period from 2003 to 2006, also looked at a large region off British Columbia, which has a substantial salmon aquaculture industry. Ford said only pink salmon that passed by salmon farms in that region showed sharp declines. She said some salmon populations in the Bay of Fundy are endangered, while one has become extinct. She and Myers, who died last year after the research was complete, found that the return of juvenile salmon to the bay to spawn are less than 10 fish a year, whereas there were hundreds of them in the 1980s.

Full Text (432 words) (Copyright (c) 2007 Toronto Star, All Rights Reserved. ) Ransom Myers, who died in Halifax last week, was never popular with the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans. He was formally reprimanded for suggesting that the main cause of the cod collapse was Canadian overfishing, and he eventually left the department to do fisheries research with Dalhousie University. Myers did extensive work on a variety of fish species, documenting the collapse of stocks of large pelagic species and, most recently, the precipitous decline - by almost 90 per cent - of shark populations. But it is his message about cod that people in this province should pay the closest attention to. He was one of the early birds warning about a collapse, and about the effects of unlimited industrial fishing, and his stark comments were anything but welcome in the politico/scientific world of fisheries and quotas during the 1990s. "The collapse was all blamed on the environment, on the seals, on the foreigners, when it was primarily Canadians. ... I saw that as the big lie, blaming it on anything but ourselves," he said later. In Julius Caesar, Shakespeare wrote "The evil that men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones." That's every bit as true in fisheries science. Myers died at 54, with the potential for many years of fisheries science ahead of him. With fellow scientist Boris Worm, Myers was very much the canary in the coal mine when it came to impending fisheries disasters. Not only will we not be able to benefit from the concerns that could be raised by his future work, there's also a real danger that this country's fisheries apologists will take every possible opportunity to bury Myers' research and opinions with him. No one likes to admit that they are actually the cause of a problem; it's much more comfortable to point a finger somewhere else. Because of that, the big lie that it's all foreigners and seals who are to blame for problems in the fishery is still very much in vogue in this province, and will probably continue to be. Ransom Myers developed a bank of scientific knowledge on the East Coast fishery that can hardly be equalled. But that doesn't mean anyone will keep that knowledge alive, especially when it gets in the way of our own preconceived notions. In the end, we'll probably all be comfortable to stick with a convenient fiction, rather than facing the inconvenient truth. 1 of 2 7/27/2008 7:59 PM Document View http://proquest.umi.com.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/pqdlink?index=0&s...

S. et al. (2007): 20 years of the German Small-Scale Bottom Trawl Survey (GSBTS): A review. – Senckenbergiana maritima, 37 (1): 13 – 82, 50 Figs., 18 Tabs., 1 App., Frankfurt a. M.] The German Small-scale Bottom Trawl Survey (GSBTS) was initiated in 1987 in order to provide com- plementary investigations to the International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS) in the North Sea, using the same methodology but focussing high-intensity sampling on selected survey areas. Over the last 20 years, the initial number of 4 survey areas (10 ×eschweizerbartxxx 10 sng- nautical miles; “Boxes”) has been increased to 12, which are distributed over the entire North Sea. This paper describes the survey methods of the GSBTS, summarizes the scientific outcome of the first 20 years, and suggests that international fisheries research institutions would join the GSBTS. The major outcomes of the survey include to date: – Documentation changes in the distribution of fish species and in species assemblages (e.g. changes in species richness, shifts in the southern species component). – Geostatistical evaluation of GSBTS data.

  • Pauly D (2009) Beyond Duplicity and Ignorance in Global Fisheries. Scient
    FEATURE ARTICLE SCIENTIA MARINA 73(2) June 2009, 215-224, Barcelona (Spain) ISSN: 0214-8358 doi: 10.3989/scimar.2009.73n2215 Beyond duplicity and ignorance in global fisheries* DANIEL PAULY Sea Around Us Project, Fisheries Centre Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, V6T 1Z4, Canada. SUMMARY: The three decades following World War II were a period of rapidly increasing fishing effort and landings, but also of spectacular collapses, particularly in small pelagic fish stocks. This is also the period in which a toxic triad of catch underreporting, ignoring scientific advice and blaming the environment emerged as standard response to ongoing fisheries collapses, which became increasingly more frequent, finally engulfing major North Atlantic fisheries. The response to the depletion of traditional fishing grounds was an expansion of North Atlantic (and generally of northern hemisphere) fisher- ies in three dimensions: southward, into deeper waters and into new taxa, i.e. catching and marketing species of fish and invertebrates previously spurned, and usually lower in the food web. This expansion provided many opportunities for mis- chief, as illustrated by the European Union’s negotiated ‘agreements’ for access to the fish resources of Northwest Africa, China’s agreement-fee exploitation of the same, and Japan blaming the resulting resource declines on the whales. Also, this expansion provided new opportunities for mislabelling seafood unfamiliar to North Americans and Europeans, and mislead- ing consumers, thus reducing the impact of seafood guides and similar effort toward sustainability. With fisheries catches declining, aquaculture—despite all public relation efforts—not being able to pick up the slack, and rapidly increasing fuel prices, structural changes are to be expected in both the fishing industry and the scientific disciplines that study it and in- fluence its governance.

Over a very short time period, the Centre has contributed many exciting new initiatives in the areas of sustainable development and the planned growth of our fisheries. British Columbia is a vast treas- ure-house of natural resources, but we must exercise responsible stewardship over the complex ecosystems that surround us if we hope to preserve that treasure for future generations. The Fisheries Centre brings together government agencies, First Nations, and the University in a vital collaboration, offering an excellent model of how to ad- dress an issue of both regional and global importance through multidisciplinary research and teaching. Many problems lie ahead, but this report gives us reason to be optimistic about our ability to find solutions. DR MARTHA PIPER PRESIDENT, UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA am delighted that, in its first eight years, the Fisheries Centre is successfully Ifulfilling its mandate as one of 26 interdisciplinary research units within the Faculty of Graduate Studies. The output reviewed in this report not only underlines the Centres influential global role in its field, but also reflects the remarkable drive and enthusiasm of its members. An internal report in 1996 identified poor accommodation as one of the main weaknesses and so we are pleased to see reported here the success in attracting Canada Foundation for Innovation funding that will provide a new home for Fisheries Centre members.

    REPRINT OF ARTICLE IN NOV. 12, 1984 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED (Editors Note - Bob Boyle brought this article to my attention this past year. Since Bill Ricker is now 91 years young and says “he is doing OK healthwise, OK for an old man!”, and “was sorry to miss the meeting last year in Argentina”. I thought readers of PERLA would enjoy reminiscing with this very interesting article. Reprint rights were obtained from Sports Illustrated in early 2000. by ROBERT H. BOYLE FISHERIES BIOLOGIST WILLIAM E. RICKER IS A REAL HALL OF FAMER IN HIS FIELD After years of following baseball and occasionally dipping into the sciences, I have arrived at these conclusions: Great mathematicians are like fastball pitchers. They're at their peak in their 20s, and after that they're finished. Great chemists are like curveball or screwball pitchers. They make their contributions in their 30s. But great biologists are like knuckleball pitchers. They can go on for years jecause they don't burn out. In fact, biologists get better with age. Ricker can be bookish when discussing his curve. *•9- The truth of it came home to me long ago when I had the good fortune to meet one of my longtime heroes, Dr. William E. Ricker, who at 76 is the Phil Niekro of fisheries biology. Ricker is the author of nearly 200 papers, articles and books about fish, aquatic insects and kindred subjects, and for a dozen years, from 1950 to '62, he served as the editor of the Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (now the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Science), which he made into the best publication of its kind in the world.
