CFFR REPORT 2013 – 2014 1 From the Director With the formation of the ‘super’ School of Veterinary & Life Sciences in 2013, which accounts for almost 60% of the University‘s research staff, the Centre for Fish & Fisheries Research has recently undertaken some restructuring. Long-serving Centre Director Professor Neil Loneragan is now the Node Leader of Wildlife Biology and Conservation within the School, and Acting Director Dr Howard Gill sought retirement to spend more time to pursue his love of fishing. I would sincerely like to thank both Neil and Howard for their leadership within the Centre, and wish them well in their new roles or pursuits, and acknowledge that both still remain very committed members of the Centre. The Centre for Fish & Fisheries Research has continued to maintain its extremely productive outputs, with an average of over 40 peer- reviewed journal publications per annum since 2003, including over 125 between 2013 and June 2015. Centre members are to be commended for having also produced almost 20 books and 30 book chapters since 2003, including 7 books and 12 book chapters since 2013. The Centre members currently include 10 Academic Staff, 10 thePost-doctoral contributions Research of our Fellows, Adjunct 38Researchers PhD, MPhil and or MScDistinguished students and 24 Honours students since 2013. I would also like to acknowledge a wealth of experience in our research goals, and in the expert Collaborator and Professional appointments, who provide us with Assupervision the current of Actinggraduate Director, students. it is with great pleasure that I get to work with a professional group of researchers that have the interests of fish and their habitats at heart, for the better of Western Australia.

  • Lamprey, Hagfish
    Agnatha - Lamprey, Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Super Class: Agnatha Hagfish Agnatha are jawless fish. Lampreys and hagfish are in this class. Members of the agnatha class are probably the earliest vertebrates. Scientists have found fossils of agnathan species from the late Cambrian Period that occurred 500 million years ago. Members of this class of fish don't have paired fins or a stomach. Adults and larvae have a notochord. A notochord is a flexible rod-like cord of cells that provides the main support for the body of an organism during its embryonic stage. A notochord is found in all chordates. Most agnathans have a skeleton made of cartilage and seven or more paired gill pockets. They have a light sensitive pineal eye. A pineal eye is a third eye in front of the pineal gland. Fertilization of eggs takes place outside the body. The lamprey looks like an eel, but it has a jawless sucking mouth that it attaches to a fish. It is a parasite and sucks tissue and fluids out of the fish it is attached to. The lamprey's mouth has a ring of cartilage that supports it and rows of horny teeth that it uses to latch on to a fish. Lampreys are found in temperate rivers and coastal seas and can range in size from 5 to 40 inches. Lampreys begin their lives as freshwater larvae. In the larval stage, lamprey usually are found on muddy river and lake bottoms where they filter feed on microorganisms. The larval stage can last as long as seven years! At the end of the larval state, the lamprey changes into an eel- like creature that swims and usually attaches itself to a fish.

    06_250317 part1-3.qxd 12/13/05 7:32 PM Page 15 Phylum Chordata Chordates are placed in the superphylum Deuterostomia. The possible rela- tionships of the chordates and deuterostomes to other metazoans are dis- cussed in Halanych (2004). He restricts the taxon of deuterostomes to the chordates and their proposed immediate sister group, a taxon comprising the hemichordates, echinoderms, and the wormlike Xenoturbella. The phylum Chordata has been used by most recent workers to encompass members of the subphyla Urochordata (tunicates or sea-squirts), Cephalochordata (lancelets), and Craniata (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals). The Cephalochordata and Craniata form a mono- phyletic group (e.g., Cameron et al., 2000; Halanych, 2004). Much disagree- ment exists concerning the interrelationships and classification of the Chordata, and the inclusion of the urochordates as sister to the cephalochor- dates and craniates is not as broadly held as the sister-group relationship of cephalochordates and craniates (Halanych, 2004). Many excitingCOPYRIGHTED fossil finds in recent years MATERIAL reveal what the first fishes may have looked like, and these finds push the fossil record of fishes back into the early Cambrian, far further back than previously known. There is still much difference of opinion on the phylogenetic position of these new Cambrian species, and many new discoveries and changes in early fish systematics may be expected over the next decade. As noted by Halanych (2004), D.-G. (D.) Shu and collaborators have discovered fossil ascidians (e.g., Cheungkongella), cephalochordate-like yunnanozoans (Haikouella and Yunnanozoon), and jaw- less craniates (Myllokunmingia, and its junior synonym Haikouichthys) over the 15 06_250317 part1-3.qxd 12/13/05 7:32 PM Page 16 16 Fishes of the World last few years that push the origins of these three major taxa at least into the Lower Cambrian (approximately 530–540 million years ago).

  • International Symposium on Circle Hooks in Research, Management, and Conservation Abstracts*
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE. 88(3):791–815. 2012 http://dx.doi.org/10.5343/bms.2012.1031 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON CIRCLE HOOKS IN RESEARCH, MANAGEMENT, AND CONSERVATION ABSTRACTS* Challenges OF circle hook adoption in Indonesian live bait long- line Fisheries by Ahmad Hafizh Adyas and Imam Musthofa Zainudin.—Since 2005, WWF-Indonesia has facilitated efforts to reduce sea turtle bycatch on tuna longlines. The onboard observer data collected between 2006 and 2010 covering 49 vessels documented 359 sea turtles harvested. While fishermen did not think this bycatch was a major problem, con- sidering the large number of vessels in the fleet there is a large potential of cumulative im- pacts. Forty vessels from Benoa-Bali and Bitung North Sulawesi have been involved in circle hook trials and adoption between 2006 and 2010, covering 128 fishing trips, 3361 settings, and using >70,000 circle hooks. The results are promising—circle hooks reduced sea turtle bycatch by 78% while catching target fish as effectively as traditional J-hooks. However, the circle hooks (C16) could not be applied in live bait fisheries due to their large size; the 5 mm shank of the circle hook was inadequate to hold the bait (typically milkfish of 15–20 cm) and also the bait typically dies faster. Given that around 90% of Indonesia’s tuna longline fleet use live bait (with shallow sets), this is a considerable issue to resolve. Other obstacles for adop- tion stem from the use of monofilament line and the basket hauling technique, and the shape and weight of the circle hooks, all of which are perceived by fishermen as making their work more difficult (e.g., harder to haul and also causes a rumpling in the line).
