SIAM So c. 34 (1) :65 ・70 ，1986 RECORD OF AMBICOLORATION IN CYNOGLOSSUS (PISCES : CYNOGLOSSIDAE) FROM THAILAND Thosaporn Thosaporn Wongratana * ABSTRACT An almost ambico10rate “Four- Ii ned tongu e- sole" ，Cynoglossus bilinealus (La cepede) ， is is reported from Thailand. It is presumab1y the first record for the genus. Except for most of of the head on the blind side and its.corresponding finrays ，which are pale as in normal specimens ，the body and fins are pigmented. The norma Jl y cycloid scales on the blind side in in the pigmented area are who Jl y replaced by ctenoid scales ，but those on the unpigmented part part on the head are cyc10id. The latera1line sca1es of the pigmented area on the blind side are are cycloid. The pelvic fins are entirely separated from the anal fin by the absence of membrane. membrane. No other major externa1 anomaly is found. PREVIOUS ACCOUNTS Abnormalities Abnormalities in coloration 釘 e more common among members of the order Pleuronectiformes Pleuronectiformes than in any other group of fishes. Other anomalies occasionally in those those fishes are a hooked dorsal fin ， incomplete eye migration and side reversa l. Abnormal pigmentation in flatfish is divided into three main types: ambicoloration ， albinism ，and xanthochromism (DEVEEN ， 1969; COLMAN ，1972 勾). P 町 “tia 剖10 町Ir incomplete ambic ∞010 町r羽 ion is mor 問ec ∞ommon than trunk pigmentation ， nearly complete amb 凶ic ∞0- lor 問at “ion and complete ambic ∞010 町ra 創ti 拘on (υJONES & MENON ， 1950). NORMAN'S (1 934) previous previous explanation of this phenomenon ，later accepted by many authors ，was that “..訓 nbicoloration merely represents variation in the direction of the original bilateral symmetrical symmetrical condition of the ancester of flatfishes." It is also regularly observed that that wholly ambicolorate fishes normally display a higher degree of symmetry than normal normal specimens in pigmentation ，scales ， paired fins and final position of the eyes (NORMAN ， 1934; COLMAN ， 1972).

  • Rockfish Populations Around Galiano Island Freedom to Swim: Research Component for Rockfish Recovery Project
    GALIANO CONSERVANCY ASSOCIATION Rockfish populations around Galiano Island Freedom to Swim: Research Component for Rockfish Recovery Project 2013 Rockfish populations around Galiano Island Page 2 of 18 Executive Summary Rockfish (Sebastes), of the Scorpionfish family, are unique to the Pacific Northwest. As of 2012 there are 8 species listed as threatened or of special concern by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). Canary, Quillback and Yellowmouth rockfish are listed as ‘threatened’; Rougheye Type I, Rougheye Type II, Darkblotched, Longspine Thornyhead, and Yelloweye (outside waters and inside waters populations) rockfish are listed as ‘special concern’. Both species of Rougheye and both populations of Yelloweye rockfish are also listed under the Species At Risk Act as ‘special concern’. These predatory fish can live at great depths, and tend to live very long lives of 80 or more years (Lamb and Edgell, 2010). These factors, when combined with their primarily territorial lifestyles, have made them particularly susceptible to overharvest. There is a strong need to protect these species with enforced no‐take marine protected areas, and we can only hope that recent conservation efforts will be enough to recover some of the most depleted populations (Lamb and Edgell, 2010; McConnell and Dinnel, 2002). In the late 1980s the commercial rockfish fishery boomed, which led to a series of management responses in the 1990s to attempt to recover the rapidly depleting stocks in BC (Yamanaka and Logan, 2010). This also occurred in the US as a direct result of pressure on the salmon stocks ‐ fishermen were urged to divert their attentions to bottom fish (McConnell and Dinnel, 2002).

  • Bulletin of the United States Fish Commission
    BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES, FISH COMMISSION. 225 B6.’REPORT ON ’ BLACK COD OF THJ3 NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN.* By JAMES G. SWAN. NAm.-The Anoplo$oma $fimbria is known in California as candle- fish, Spanish mackerel, grease-fish, &c. ; among the Makah Indians of Cape Flattery, Wash., as “ beshow,” and by the white residents at the ’ cape ;LR (4 black cod.” On Queen Charlotte’s Islands, British Columbia, it is called “coal-fish” by white settlers, and by the Baidah Indians: who reside on those islands, it is called “skil.” At Hnight’s Inlet, British Columbia, it is called “kwakewlth.” Each tribe or locality where it is taken has a local name for it, but it is generally ]mown as blqck cod. The scientific name, Anoploporna $fimbria, has been adopted. by Gill, Jordan & Gilbert, and most other writers, although a specimen taken ob Mount Saint Elias, Alaska, \vas named by Pallas Gadus jimbria (Prbc. U. S. Nat. Museum, 1881, vol. 4, p. 254), thus showing that its resemblancei to the cod was observed by that naturalist. The tern1 ‘c cod” is applied by fishermen and fish-dealers on the North Pacific coast to a variety of fish which are not related to the genus Gadus, and are iiot found in Atlantic maters. The Oplbiodo?z eloizgatus is called, in San Francisco, buffalo cod, green cod, blue cod, &c. At Uape Flattery the Makah Indiaus call it “tooshlrow.” The whites call it knltus cod or inferior to true cod. The different variotics of Sebastiahthys are known in the Victoria and San Francisco markets as rock cod, but do not re- semble the rock cod of New England in any manner, being more like the perch, having remarkable development of sharp bony spines and prickles.

  • Checklist of Inshore Demersal Fishes from Southern and Central California
    1 T /I•• .•' -:-~~:.;ir_:...~ ·.. ?·>,/ \:' --:1:.· ;)~{ --~ ;_. ··~ . AWt1 l'll This list was prepared to compare southern California trawl-caught fishes with those caught north of Point Conception. All data are based on otter trawl or beam trawl surveys; sources are listed at the end of the list, along with information on the effort, gear, and depths sampled in each survey. The list, which simply shows the presence or absence of species, reveals that at least 225 species1 of fish have been taken by otter trawl in coastal regions of southern and central California. Of these, 185 have been caught in southern California alone; 79 species have been found in both southern and central California waters. To provide a picture of the present coastal shelf bottom fish com­ munities, the data from 1969-72 southern California trawling sur­ veys (Southern California coastal Water Research Project 1973) were analyzed to identify recurrent groups (commonly associated species) of fishes. The analysis showed that about one-fifth of the 121 nearshore demersal species found in these surveys appeared in statistically significant associations. ~Five major groups and six associate species were defined in the analysis; the groups are shown in Figure 1. With the exception of the yellowchin sculpin (Icelinus guadriser­ iatus), queenfish (Seriphus politus), blackbelly eelpout (Lycodop­ sis pacifica), and blacktip poacher (Xeneretmus latifrons}, all southern California recurrent group species were also noted in the central California surveys described here. (The latter three species are known to occur at least as far north as northern Cali­ fornia; the fact that they were not noted in the central California surveys may be a result of low sampling effort in their depth ranges.} 1.

  • Market Update
    MIXED PROGRESS IN 2008 ALASKA FLATFISH FISHERIES When the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (the Council) cut the 2008 Bering Sea pollock quotas by 28%, it supplemented the total all-species quota in the Bering Sea with major increases to quotas of various flatfish species. Although these flatfish species command lower prices than pollock or Pacific cod, the Council felt increased flatfish quotas could somewhat offset quota holders for the lost pollock revenue. Here is a table showing the 2008 quotas of several major Alaskan groundfish species: ALASKA GROUNDFISH TOTAL ALLOWABLE CATCH (TAC) 2007-2008 all figures in metric tons (MT) % 2007 2008 change Species BSAI GOA Total BSAI GOA Total Total Pollock 1,413,010 68,307 1,481,317 1,019,010 60,180 1,079,190 (27.1%) Pacific cod 171,000 52,264 223,264 170,720 50,269 220,989 (1.0%) Yellowfin sole 136,000 136,000 225,000 225,000 65.4% Arrowtooth flounder 20,000 43,000 63,000 75,000 43,000 118,000 87.3% Northern rock sole 55,000 55,000 75,000 75,000 36.4% Flathead sole 30,000 9,148 39,148 50,000 11,054 61,054 56.0% Alaska plaice 25,000 25,000 50,000 50,000 100.0% Atka mackerel 63,000 1,500 64,500 60,700 1,500 62,200 (3.6%) All other species 87,315 95,693 183,008 112,915 96,823 209,738 14.6% Total 2,000,325 269,912 2,270,237 1,838,345 262,826 2,101,171 (7.4%) Notes BSAI Bering Sea / Aleutian Islands area GOA Gulf of Alaska area Stalled yellowfin sole fishery Despite the quota increases, trawlers in Alaska have yet to fill their pollock shortfall with flatfish, due mainly to a slow start to the yellowfin sole fishery.
