REFERENCES ..............................................................................................................................................54 2 Page 3 of 84 Reviews in Aquaculture 46 Abstract The family Carangidae contains several species of aquaculture interest, including the 48 amberjacks, yellowtails and trevallies. Among them, the greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili), the Japanese amberjack or yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata) and the yellowtail kingfish 50 (Seriola lalandi) are considered the species with the highest potential for commercial aquaculture. Understanding the reproductive physiology-biology, spawning kinetics and 52 production characteristics in captivity is of utmost importance for the domestication of any animal, and developing broodstock management methods and therapies to optimize egg 54 production and overcomeFor potential Review reproductive dysfunctions Only are essential. The present article reviews the available literature on the reproductive biology of the Carangidae species of 56 interest for the aquaculture industry, both in the wild and under farming conditions. The reproductive traits of wild and farmed fish, whenever available, were compared in order to 58 improve the understanding of the reproductive dysfunctions occurring in captivity. Finally, the hormonal maturation and spawning induction protocols examined so far to ameliorate the 60 reproductive dysfunctions and obtain fertile gametes are summarized, and their effectiveness in the different rearing conditions are discussed. 62 3 Reviews in Aquaculture Page 4 of 84 64 1. Introduction The genus Seriola (family Carangidae) includes 12 species that are distributed in all 66 tropical and temperate waters (Table 1). Some of them have been notable species for aquaculture worldwide, while other carangid species have also been considered as potential 68 cultured species. Among them, the greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) has attracted significant interest in Europe and Japan since the 1990s, because of its fast growth and 70 cosmopolitan distribution and appreciation. However, failure to control reproduction in captivity has prevented its commercial production (Ottolenghi et al. 2004). With the need to 72 diversify aquaculture worldwide,For aReview renewed interest inOnly studying the reproductive biology of greater amberjack and developing methods to control egg production in captivity has emerged 74 (Nyuji et al. 2016; Zupa et al. 2017b), and a significant body of information has been produced in recent years for this species. For other members of the Seriola family, such as the 76 Japanese amberjack or yellowtail (S. quinqueradiata), which is a very important fishery resource in Japan, aquaculture research had already begun in the 1970s (Kagawa 1992; 78 Nakada 2002; Yamazaki et al. 2002). Following the work on yellowtail, more recently the reproductive biology and physiology of yellowtail kingfish (S. lalandi) have also been studied 80 (Nakada 2002) and this species is currently reared commercially worldwide. The greater amberjack is a cosmopolitan species found throughout the temperate zone, 82 where it spawns naturally from February to April in the Gulf of Mexico (Wells & Rooker 2004), from April to June in Japan (Kawabe et al. 1996, 1998; Nyuji et al. 2016), from May 84 to July in the Mediterranean Sea (Marino et al. 1995a) and from April to October in the Canary Islands (Jerez et al. 2006). Yellowtail kingfish has been considered to exist as 86 geographically separate populations and its aquaculture has spread from Japan to Australia, Chile, Mexico, and California (Sicuro & Luzzana 2016). However, Martinez-Takeshita et al. 88 (2015) recently proposed that these different populations are actually genetically distinct 4 Page 5 of 84 Reviews in Aquaculture species and named them using the following names: yellowtail kingfish has been reserved for 90 fish in the Southern Hemisphere,

The vertebral column began to mineralize in the neural arches at 4.40 ± 0.14 mm Standard Length (SL), continued with the haemal arches and centrums following a cranial-caudal direction. Mineralization of the caudal fin structures started with the caudal rays by 5.12 ± 0.11 mm SL, at the same time that the notochord flexion occurs. The first dorsal and anal fin structures were the hard spines (S), and lepidotrichium (R) by 8.01 ± 0.26 mm SL. The metamorphosis was completed by 11.82 ± 0.4 mm SL. Finally, the fin supports (pterygiophores) and the caudal fins were completely mineralized by 16.1 ± 0.89 mm SL. In addition, the meristic data of 23 structures were provided.

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.

April 2014 Copyright © 2014 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract The genus Seriola includes several important commercial fish species, yet the phylogenetic relationships between species have not been fully investigated to date. This study reports the first molecular phylogeny for this genus based on two mitochondrial (Cytb and COI) and two nuclear gene (RAG1 and Rhod) fragments for all extant Seriola species (nine species, n = 27). The phylogenetic patterns resolved three main lineages: a ((S. fasciata and S. peruana), S. carpenteri) clade, a (S. dumerili and S. rivoliana) clade and a (S. lalandi and S. quinqueradiata) clade. The closure of the Tethys Sea (12 - 20 MYA) coincides with divergence of the ((S. fasciata and S.

One specimen of Seriola fasciata was caught by a commercial trawler at depths of 60-70m on 10 November 2018 from the Çevlik coast of Turkey Iskenderun Bay. The present paper reports the second record of Seriola fasciata in Turkish Marine waters. Key words: Seriola fasciata, lesser amberjack, alien species, Occurrence, Iskenderun Bay. Fishes of the family Carangidae, with 146 recognized species (Froese & Pauly 2018), are mainly marine fishes of tropical and subtropical waters of Western Atlantic and Eastern At- lantic (Froese & Pauly 2018). The lesser amberjack fish Seriola fasciata (Bloch, 1793) is distributed in the north-eastern At- lantic (northwest Spain, Azores, Madeira Island); west At- lantic, (north America), and the Mediterranean Sea where it . S. fasciata was recorded for the first time from Balearic Is- lands (Spain) in the Mediterranean Sea in 1989 (Massutí & Stefanescu 1993, Tiralongo et al. 2018).

  • Tortugas Ecological Reserve
    Strategy for Stewardship Tortugas Ecological Reserve U.S. Department of Commerce DraftSupplemental National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Environmental National Ocean Service ImpactStatement/ Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management DraftSupplemental Marine Sanctuaries Division ManagementPlan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS), working in cooperation with the State of Florida, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council, and the National Marine Fisheries Service, proposes to establish a 151 square nautical mile “no- take” ecological reserve to protect the critical coral reef ecosystem of the Tortugas, a remote area in the western part of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The reserve would consist of two sections, Tortugas North and Tortugas South, and would require an expansion of Sanctuary boundaries to protect important coral reef resources in the areas of Sherwood Forest and Riley’s Hump. An ecological reserve in the Tortugas will preserve the richness of species and health of fish stocks in the Tortugas and throughout the Florida Keys, helping to ensure the stability of commercial and recreational fisheries. The reserve will protect important spawning areas for snapper and grouper, as well as valuable deepwater habitat for other commercial species. Restrictions on vessel discharge and anchoring will protect water quality and habitat complexity. The proposed reserve’s geographical isolation will help scientists distinguish between natural and human-caused changes to the coral reef environment. Protecting Ocean Wilderness Creating an ecological reserve in the Tortugas will protect some of the most productive and unique marine resources of the Sanctuary. Because of its remote location 70 miles west of Key West and more than 140 miles from mainland Florida, the Tortugas region has the best water quality in the Sanctuary.
