Tilgangurinn með vöktuninni er að meta ástand íslenskra sjávarafurða með tilliti til magns aðskotaefna. Gögnin sem safnað er í vöktunarverkefninu verða einnig notuð í áhættumati og til að hafa áhrif á setningu hámarksgilda óæskilegra efna t.d í Evrópu. Umfjöllun um aðskotaefni í sjávarafurðum, bæði í almennum fjölmiðlum og í vísindaritum, hefur margoft krafist viðbragða íslenskra stjórnvalda. Nauðsynlegt er að hafa til taks vísindaniðurstöður sem sýna fram á raunverulegt ástand íslenskra sjávarafurða til þess að koma í veg fyrir tjón sem af slíkri umfjöllun getur hlotist. Ennfremur eru mörk aðskotaefna í sífelldri endurskoðun og er mikilvægt fyrir Íslendinga að taka þátt í slíkri endurskoðun og styðja mál sitt með vísindagögnum. Þetta sýnir mikilvægi þess að regluleg vöktun fari fram og að á Íslandi séu stundaðar sjálfstæðar rannsóknir á eins mikilvægum málaflokki og mengun sjávarafurða er. Þessi skýrsla er samantekt niðurstaðna vöktunarinnar árið 2006. Það er langtímamarkmið að meta ástand íslenskra sjávarafurða m.t.t. magns óæskilegra efna. Þessu markmiði verður einungis náð með sívirkri vöktun í langan tíma.

  • Real-Time Fish Type Recognition in Underwater Images for Sustainable Fishing

A image analysis software that can Hus 4, Plan 0 separate wild from farmed salmon and salmon from sea trout has been developed. This is interesting Postadress: since the advent of hydro power stations has Box 536 751 21 Uppsala obstructed the natural migration of these species to their natal river streams. Even though ladders have Telefon: been built, fewer fish find their way back up stream. 018 – 471 30 03 This has lead to farming of salmon and sea trout to Telefax: compensate for a lower population. However, this is 018 – 471 30 00 bad for the natural genetic variation and it would be desirable if only the wild fish could enter the rivers. Hemsida: The software could be installed in traps at fish http://www.teknat.uu.se/student ladders to help with this problem. It is common to cut the adipose fin from the farmed salmon and the lack of this fin has been used as a key character to separate farmed from wild salmon. A real-time algorithm was developed which could recognize the farmed fish with high accuracy by searching for presence or absence of the adipose fin.

  • Multiscale Habitat Suitability Modeling for Canary Rockfish
    MULTISCALE HABITAT SUITABILITY MODELING FOR CANARY ROCKFISH (SEBASTES PINNIGER) ALONG THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST By Portia Naomi Saucedo A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Natural Resources: Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences Committee Membership Dr. Jim Graham, Committee Chair Dr. Brian Tissot, Committee Member Dr. Joe Tyburczy, Committee Member Dr. Alison Purcell O’Dowd, Graduate Coordinator July 2017 ABSTRACT MULTISCALE HABITAT SUITABILITY MODELING FOR CANARY ROCKFISH (SEBASTES PINNIGER) ALONG THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST Portia N. Saucedo Detailed spatially-explicit data of the potential habitat of commercially important rockfish species are a critical component for the purposes of marine conservation, evaluation, and planning. Predictive habitat modeling techniques are widely used to identify suitable habitat in un-surveyed regions. This study elucidates the predicted distribution of canary rockfish (Sebastes pinniger) along the largely un-surveyed northern California coast using data from visual underwater surveys and predictive terrain complexity covariates. I used Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) modelling software to identify regions of suitable habitat for S. pinniger greater than nine cm in total length at two spatial scales. The results of this study indicate the most important environmental covariate was proximity to the interface between hard and soft substrate. I also examined the predicted probability of presence for each model run. MaxEnt spatial predictions varied in predicted probability for broad-scale and each of the fine-scale regions. Uncertainty in predictions was considered at several levels and spatial uncertainty was quantified and mapped. The predictive modeling efforts allowed spatial predictions outside the sampled area at both the broad- and fine-scales accessed.

Fisheries data is collected by the crew members themselves, an approach commonly known as self-sampling of catches. This report aims to give an overview of how the Norwegian Reference Fleet record their catches and presents the reported catch composition with regards to number of species. A total of 271 species have been recorded by the Norwegian Reference Fleet between 2015 and 2018. There are an additional 39 records of unidentified species, which can occur because of excessive damage limiting an identification or a known misidentification that cannot be rectified. Summary (Norwegian): Referanseflåten er en gruppe aktive fiskefartøy, valgt ut som en tilnærmet stratifisert tilfeldig utvalg (stratified random sample) av fartøy fra den Norske fiskeflåten.
