Characterization of commercial reef fish catch and bycatch off the southeast coast of the United States. Patrick J. Harris, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Charleston, SC 29412. Grant Number: NA03NMF4540416 July 2005. II. Abstract There is clearly a need to characterize the entire catch of commercial fishermen and compare differences in abundance and species diversity to what is caught in fishery-independent gear. As we move towards a multi-species management approach, these types of data are essential. In addition, estimates of release mortality are needed for stock assessments but currently this is not being measured for fishery-dependent data. Many reef fishes captured at depths greater than ~ 20 m often have problems submerging when released by commercial fishermen. The goal of the research project was to characterize the entire (retained and discarded) catch of reef fishes from a selected commercial fisherman including total catch composition and disposition of fishes that were released. During April- November 2004, Captain Mark Marhefka dedicated one fishing trip (5-7 day duration) each month to the collection of fishery-dependent data. Date, location and collection number were recorded for each site fished by Captain Marhefka using a PDA equipped with a GPS.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

WATANABE Center for Marine Science, University of North Carolina Wilmington, 7205 Wrightsville Avenue, Wilmington, North Carolina 28403, USA Abstract.—Aquaculture of red porgy Pagrus pagrus (Sparidae) in North America was assessed by the investigation of broodstock conditioning and egg production, larval growth and survivorship, and juvenile grow out. Red porgy broodstock were collected off the coast of North Carolina and held in an outdoor recirculating seawater tank under ambient photoperiod and offshore bottom temperatures. Red porgy broodstock (n ¼ 20) produced up to 300,000 viable eggs/d during their natural spawning period between January and March 2005. Larval survival to 10 d posthatch (dph) was 75.0 6 2.2% (mean 6 SE). Survival declined markedly after 13 dph and was 2.4% by 35 dph, when 1,200 postmetamorphic-stage juveniles remained. Larvae reached 11.2 6 1.12 mm and 29.3 6 0.55 mg at 35 dph, and juveniles reached 55 mm total length (TL) at 90 dph.
