  • Study of Dockage in Gloucester's Designated Port Area Summary
    FINAL REPORT February 20, 2014 Study of Dockage in Gloucester’s Designated Port Area Summary The Urban Harbors Institute (UHI), University of Massachusetts Boston assisted the Gloucester Fisheries Commission to conduct a study of commercial dockage in Gloucester Inner Harbor. The study presents a review of existing conditions and expected needs to serve as the basis for the Fisheries Commission to formulate recommendations for ensuring sufficient commercial dockage to support the future fishery. Strategies for the future Gloucester fisheries include measures to increase landings of groundfish, landings of alternative species, and value-added processing. The Dockage Subcommittee 1 of the Fisheries Commission was instrumental to the study, meeting periodically to guide the process, reviewing progress, and providing assistance with filling in data gaps. The following narrative and tables provide a synopsis of the data and findings of the study. Spreadsheets of all data collected have been submitted in electronic format. Methodology The study was carried out from late 2012 through early 2014 during which time two written surveys were conducted −one of property owners, the other of vessel owners; federal, state and local data bases acquired and analyzed; site visits held; and preliminary findings discussed at meetings of both the Fisheries Commission and Dockage Subcommittee. 1. Property Owner Survey In late 2012 a survey was sent by the Gloucester Fisheries Commission to each of the 77 owners of waterfront property in the Gloucester Designated Port Area (DPA), the purpose of which was to obtain data and information on: • The linear feet of total dockage at the property and the amount used for commercial vessels.

  • ABSTRACT CLARK, TIMOTHY P. the Sea Is Empty. Fisheries and the Global Seafood Sector in the Age of Capital. a Socio-Historical A
    ABSTRACT CLARK, TIMOTHY P. The Sea is Empty. Fisheries and the Global Seafood Sector in the Age of Capital. A Socio-Historical Analysis. (Under the Direction of Dr. Stefano Longo). Within the broader sub-discipline of environmental sociology, more scholars have begun to focus on the socioecological dynamics of marine systems, coastal communities, and the seafood industry. Environmental sociologists refer to this waxing scholarship as marine sociology, or an area within environmental sociology that examines non-terrestrial socioecological problems (Longo and Clark 2016; Hannigan 2017). Increased attention towards marine issues and seafood systems is necessary because, for example, the ocean sustains food production, environmental stability, and economic security. Over the course of the 20th century, global fisheries underwent historic change due to substantive human driven withdrawals. Prior to the 20th century, many viewed the ocean as a limitless bounty of resources (Bolster 2012). However, within a period of a few decades following the Second World War, overfishing and biodiversity loss have occurred at levels that now threaten global ocean system stability (Clausen and Clark 2005). Indeed, while not all fish populations are overfished, few are what the United Nations Food and Agriculture Association (FAO) would call under-fished, or fished at a level that signals good prospects for long-term sustainability (FAO 2018). As writer and journalist Anna Badkhen (2018: 3) explains in her account of Senegalese fishers: “Entire trips go by during which the captain stares at the limp arms of his crew. The sea is broken, fishermen say. The sea is empty.” It is likely that Atlantic menhaden fishers across the United States’ Eastern seaboard issued similar frustrations as their catch rates plummeted in the late 19th century and, once-again and more damningly, in the mid-20th century.

  • Age and Gr Age and Growth of Hypophthalmus Edentatus (Spix)
    Age and growth of Hypophthalmus edentatus (Spix), (Siluriformes, Hypophthalmidae) in the Itaipu Reservoir, Paraná, Brazil Ângela Maria Ambrósio 1, Luiz Carlos Gomes 1 & Ângelo Antônio Agostinho 1 1 Núcleo de Pesquisas em Ictiologia, Limnologia e Aqüicultura (Nupélia), Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Departamento de Biologia. Avenida Colombo 5790, Bloco H-90, 87020-900 Maringá, Paraná, Brasil. ABSTRACT. Age and growth of Hypophthalmus edentatus (Spix, 1829) (Siluriformes, Hypophthalmidae) was determined. Data were collected from December 1983 to November 1984 and from April 1997 to March 1998 in the Itaipu Reservoir. To evaluate reading consistency, it was analyzed the coefficient of variation of the total length for each annulus observed in the otoliths. Through marginal increment analysis, it was determined that the annuli formed annually (April) indicating that otoliths may be used in the study of age and growth of the species. Food supply was considered the main factor affecting growth and annuli formation in both periods. Back-calculated data were used to assess if the Rosa Lee phenomenon, commom in selective samples like commercial fishing, occured. It was used also, the von Bertalanffy model to obtain the length growth curve. Parameters k and L∞ were estimated by nonlinear regression for sexes separated. Although nom significant, k was greater in 1983-1984 than in 1997-1998. Inversely the L∞ was greater for females, but k was smaller. Age at first maturation and annual instantaneous mortality (A) were similar in both sexes and years analyzed. KEY WORDS. Age, growth, Hypophthalmus edentatus, Itaipu Reservoir, otoliths. Age determination of fish in tropical regions is a challenge, as age rings and to estimate the growth in length of H.

Ma- jor declines of pike in the Baltic Sea have been recorded, particular of larger pikes, which may have cascading effects on abundances of lower ecosys- tem compartments. Despite the decline in pike densities in the Baltic Sea there is a lack of data on how pike populations respond to climate change (i.e.

    Comparing the Hickory Shad (Alosa mediocris) and American Shad (Alosa sapidissima) Sport Fishery Using Age and Spawning Composition and Social Media. By: Samantha Ann Dowiarz May 2021 Director of Thesis: Dr. Roger A. Rulifson Major Department: Biology Abstract The goal of this study was to compare aspects of Hickory Shad (Alosa mediocris) (Mitchell 1814) and American Shad (Alosa sapidissima) (Wilson 1811) life history while also providing supplemental information on their age and spawning composition, recreational catch and effort, and geographical distribution for future stock assessments. Hickory and American shads are anadromous fish species native to the East Coast of North America that ascend freshwater watersheds to spawn in the spring. Exactly how similar these two species are in life history is unknown, but the two species are co-managed federally by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission. Based on the 2020 stock assessment, American Shad are in a state of decline in multiple watershed along the spawning range, but it is unknown whether Hickory Shad are experiencing the same decline because the lack of scientific literature makes a benchmark coastwide stock assessment impossible to complete. The first objective of this study was to compare the age and spawning composition of Hickory Shad captured from different river systems across the range. Since aging protocols for Hickory Shad scales and sagittal otoliths were never published in the primary literature, the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries American Shad Ageing Protocol was used in its place. A subsample of transversely sectioned otoliths was aged, coupled with otolith microchemistry, and compared to whole otolith ages.
