  • Age, Growth and Population Dynamics of Lemon Sole Microstomus Kitt(Walbaum 1792)
    Age, growth and population dynamics of lemon sole Microstomus kitt (Walbaum 1792) sampled off the west coast of Ireland By Joan F. Hannan Masters Thesis in Fish Biology Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology Supervisors of Research Dr. Pauline King and Dr. David McGrath Submitted to the Higher Education and Training Awards Council July 2002 Age, growth and population dynamics of lemon sole Microstomus kitt (Walbaum 1792) sampled off the west coast of Ireland Joan F. Hannan ABSTRACT The age, growth, maturity and population dynamics o f lemon sole (Microstomus kitt), captured off the west coast o f Ireland (ICES division Vllb), were determined for the period November 2000 to February 2002. The maximum age recorded was 14 years. Males o f the population were dominated by 4 year olds, while females were dominated by 5 year olds. Females dominated the sex ratio in the overall sample, each month sampled, at each age and from 22cm in total length onwards (when N > 20). Possible reasons for the dominance o f females in the sex ratio are discussed. Three models were used to obtain the parameters o f the von Bertalanfly growth equation. These were the Ford-Walford plot (Beverton and Holt 1957), the Gulland and Holt plot (1959) and the Rafail (1973) method. Results o f the fitted von Bertalanffy growth curves showed that female lemon sole o ff the west coast o f Ireland grew faster than males and attained a greater size. Male and female lemon sole mature from 2 years o f age onwards. There is evidence in the population o f a smaller asymptotic length (L«, = 34.47cm), faster growth rate (K = 0.1955) and younger age at first maturity, all o f which are indicative o f a decrease in population size, when present results are compared to data collected in the same area 22 years earlier.

  • Using Stable Isotopes to Discern Mechanisms of Connectivity in Estuarine Detritus-Based Food Webs
    Vol. 518: 13–29, 2015 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published January 7 doi: 10.3354/meps11066 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Using stable isotopes to discern mechanisms of connectivity in estuarine detritus-based food webs Emily R. Howe*, Charles A. Simenstad University of Washington, School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, Seattle, WA 98195-5020, USA ABSTRACT: In this paper, we focus on 2 mechanisms of cross-boundary food web connectivity in Puget Sound estuaries: passive transport of water-advected organic matter (OM) and active move- ment of organisms. Both mechanisms serve as potential vectors of food web connectivity, but little research has investigated whether landscape setting changes the dominance of one mechanism over another, or whether the influence of organism movement on food web connectivity can be detected in estuarine systems. We use fish diets, stable isotopes and Bayesian mixing models to identify differences in OM sources assimilated by estuarine fishes, testing whether increased organism mobility or increased fluvial influence results in greater food web connectivity. We com- pare food web connectivity in 2 different estuaries, one displaying limited freshwater inputs, and the other the terminus of a major river system. Within each estuary, we investigate whether differ- ences in behavioral life history traits correspond to differences in the diets, isotopic signatures and OM assimilation of 2 fish species: bay pipefish Syngnathus leptorhynchus, which displays site fidelity to eelgrass beds, and the more transitory juvenile English sole Parophrys vetulus, which moves throughout estuarine deltas during the early demersal growth stage. Our results show water advection plays a dominant role in large-scale OM transport and delivery to adjoining eco- systems in the fluvial estuary, while organism movement provides the more important mechanism of food web connectivity in the estuary exhibiting minor fluvial discharge.

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.

  • Recycled Fish Sculpture (.PDF)
    Recycled Fish Sculpture Name:__________ Fish: are a paraphyletic group of organisms that consist of all gill-bearing aquatic vertebrate animals that lack limbs with digits. At 32,000 species, fish exhibit greater species diversity than any other group of vertebrates. Sculpture: is three-dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard materials—typically stone such as marble—or metal, glass, or wood. Softer ("plastic") materials can also be used, such as clay, textiles, plastics, polymers and softer metals. They may be assembled such as by welding or gluing or by firing, molded or cast. Researched Photo Source: Alaskan Rainbow STEP ONE: CHOOSE one fish from the attached Fish Names list. Trout STEP TWO: RESEARCH on-line and complete the attached K/U Fish Research Sheet. STEP THREE: DRAW 3 conceptual sketches with colour pencil crayons of possible visual images that represent your researched fish. STEP FOUR: Once your fish designs are approved by the teacher, DRAW a representational outline of your fish on the 18 x24 and then add VALUE and COLOUR . CONSIDER: Individual shapes and forms for the various parts you will cut out of recycled pop aluminum cans (such as individual scales, gills, fins etc.) STEP FIVE: CUT OUT using scissors the various individual sections of your chosen fish from recycled pop aluminum cans. OVERLAY them on top of your 18 x 24 Representational Outline 18 x 24 Drawing representational drawing to judge the shape and size of each piece. STEP SIX: Once you have cut out all your shapes and forms, GLUE the various pieces together with a glue gun.

    WINTER FLOUNDER / Pseudopleuronectes americanus (Walbaum 1792) / Blackback, Georges Bank Flounder, Lemon Sole, Rough Flounder / Bigelow and Schroeder 1953:276-283 Description. Body oval, about two and a quarter times as long to base of caudal fin as it is wide, thick-bodied, and with a proportionately broader caudal peduncle and tail than any of the other local small flatfishes (Fig. 305). Mouth small, not gaping back to eye, lips thick and fleshy. Blind side of each jaw armed with one series of close-set incisor-like teeth. Eyed side with only a few teeth, or even toothless. Dorsal fin originates opposite forward edge of upper eye, of nearly equal height throughout its length. Anal fin highest about midway, preceded by a short, sharp spine (postabdominal bone). Pelvic fins alike on both sides of body, separated from long anal fin by a considerable gap. Gill rakers short and conical. Lateral line nearly straight, with a slight bow above pectoral fin. Scales rough on eyed side, including interorbital space; smooth on blind side in juveniles and mature females, rough in mature males when rubbed Georges Bank fish of 63.5 cm, weighing 3.6 kg. The NEFSC from caudal peduncle toward head. An occasional large adult female groundfish bottom trawl survey collected two 64-cm females, one on may also be rough ventrally. 22 October 1986 at 42°67' N, 67°32' W and a second on 15 Apri11997 at 41°01' N, 68°25'W (R.
