Chapter 11 the Biology and Ecology of the Oceanic Whitetip Shark, Carcharhinus Longimanus
Chapter 11 The Biology and Ecology of the Oceanic Whitetip Shark, Carcharhinus longimanus Ramón Bonfi l, Shelley Clarke and Hideki Nakano Abstract The oceanic whitetip shark (Carcharhinus longimanus) is a common circumtropical preda- tor and is taken as bycatch in many oceanic fi sheries. This summary of its life history, dis- tribution and abundance, and fi shery-related information is supplemented with unpublished data taken during Japanese tuna research operations in the Pacifi c Ocean. Oceanic whitetips are moderately slow-growing sharks that do not appear to have differential growth rates by sex, and individuals in the Atlantic and Pacifi c Oceans seem to grow at similar rates. They reach sexual maturity at approximately 170–200 cm total length (TL), or 4–7 years of age, and have a 9- to 12-month embryonic development period. Pupping and nursery areas are thought to exist in the central Pacifi c, between 0ºN and 15ºN. According to two demographic metrics, the resilience of C. longimanus to fi shery exploitation is similar to that of blue and shortfi n mako sharks. Nevertheless, reported oceanic whitetip shark catches in several major longline fi sheries represent only a small fraction of total shark catches, and studies in the Northwest Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico suggest that this species has suffered signifi cant declines in abundance. Stock assessment has been severely hampered by the lack of species-specifi c catch data in most fi sheries, but recent implementation of species-based reporting by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and some of its member countries will provide better data for quantitative assessment. -

The presence of the late-migratory nucleus stage oocytes and post ovulatory follicles (POFs) in the same ovaries were observed continuously during the sampling period. The daily percentage of spawning females with ovaries containing: late migratory nucleus (MN) stage, POFs (present up to 12-24h from the spawning event) was calculated as 11.7% and 18.6% respectively. The average percentage of females presenting one of the two different states was 15.3% which indicated that Mediterranean horse mackerel had high spawning rates in the Sea of Marmara. Our results indicated that T. mediterraneus is a multiple spawner and females spawn approximately every 6.6 days, therefore 20 times in the spawning period May-August 2009.

BOX; 1408, Lattakia, Syria [email protected] (corresponding author); [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Syria’s total marine fisheries catches were estimated for the 1950-2010 time period using a reconstruction approach which accounted for all fisheries removals, including unreported commercial landings, discards, and recreational and subsistence catches. All unreported estimates were added to the official data, as reported by the Syrian Arab Republic to the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Total reconstructed catch for 1950-2010 was around 170,000 t, which is 78% more than the amount reported by Syria to the FAO as their national catch. The unreported components added over 74,000 t of unreported catches, of which 38,600 t were artisanal landings, 16,000 t industrial landings, over 4,000 t recreational catches, 3,000 t subsistence catches and around 12,000 t were discards. -
The Feeding Ecology of Grey Gurnard, Eutrigla Gurnardus, Off the Coast of Scotland
The Feeding Ecology of Grey Gurnard, Eutrigla gurnardus, off the coast of Scotland. Abstract Until recently, little research had been conducted into the feeding ecology of grey gurnard (Eutrigla gurnardus), and the species’ wider interaction with the ecosystems it inhabits. This study was carried out to address several questions that have recently arisen about the species. Mainly whether the grey gurnard population at Rockall Bank have been predating on the juvenile haddock to a degree that could cause the stock to decline. This was assessed by conducting a stomach contents analysis on a sample of grey gurnard caught on several trawls. The results of this were inconclusive, with only 3 stomachs containing potential haddock remains out of a total of 121 stomachs. However, these results do not completely disprove the hypothesis, as other factors may have influenced the low fish intake in these gurnard. Furthermore, the populations of grey gurnard from Rockall Bank and the Firth of Forth were compared to determine any differences in feeding ecology between the two. It emerged that the two populations were reasonably similar, with smaller size classes consuming less fish and proportionally more invertebrates, while larger size classes had a diet that was predominantly fish, with the fish prey consisting largely of sand eels. Finally, the influence of fish size on prey selection was investigated, with the result showing a clear correlation between increasing fish size and increasing prey mass, likely owing to the greater amount of fish prey that makes up a larger gurnard’s diet. Introduction: Grey gurnard, Eutrigla gurnadus, is a demersal marine species that has a wide distribution throughout the North Atlantic and the North Sea (Vinogradov et al., 2014; Floeter et al., 2005). -
Red Gurnard in the North East Atlantic, Demersal Otter Trawl
Red gurnard in the North East Atlantic, Demersal otter trawl Red gurnard in the North East Atlantic, Demersal otter trawl Content last updated 27th Jan 2016 Stock: Red gurnard in the North East Atlantic Management: EU Overview Red gurnard (Chelidonichthys cuculus) is a widespread demersal species on the Northeast Atlantic shelf, distributed from South Norway and north of the British Isles to Mauritania. The species is found in depths between 20 and 250m living on gravel or coarse sandy substrate. Higher occurrences of red gurnard with patchy distribution have been observed along the Western approaches from the Shetlands Islands to the Celtic Seas and the Channel. A continuous distribution of fish crossing the Channel and the area West of Brittany does not suggest a separation of the Divisions VIId from VIIe and VIIh. Therefore a split of the population between the Ecoregions does not seem appropriate. Further investigations are needed to progress on stocks boundaries such as morphometric studies, tagging and genetic population studies. Red gurnard feeds on a variety of small invertebrates, bottom dwelling fish and benthic shellfish and crustaceans. Length at first maturity has been reported at approximately 25cm. Spawning occurs between February and June. Currently, all red gurnards in the Northeast Atlantic are treated as a single stock. Considering their behaviour, future assessment and management should identify and treat separate spawning aggregations independently. Red gurnard is mainly taken as a bycatch in mixed demersal fisheries for flatfish and roundfish, as the market is limited a larger part of the gurnard catch is discarded. Gurnards have been landed as a mixed generic gurnard catch and therefore landings of red gurnard are uncertain. -

Simulations of Fishing Effects on the Southern Benguela Fish Community Using an Individual-Based Model: Learning from a Comparison with Ecosim
Ecosystem Approaches to Fisheries in the Southern Benguela Afr. J. mar. Sci. 26: 95–114 2004 95 SIMULATIONS OF FISHING EFFECTS ON THE SOUTHERN BENGUELA FISH COMMUNITY USING AN INDIVIDUAL-BASED MODEL: LEARNING FROM A COMPARISON WITH ECOSIM Y-J. SHIN*, L. J. SHANNON† and P. M. CURY* By applying an individual-based model (OSMOSE) to the southern Benguela ecosystem, a multispecies analysis is proposed, complementary to that provided by the application of ECOPATH/ECOSIM models. To reconstruct marine foodwebs, OSMOSE is based on the hypothesis that predation is a size-structured process. In all, 12 fish species, chosen for their importance in terms of biomass and catches, are explicitly modelled. Growth, repro- duction and mortality parameters are required to model their dynamics and trophic interactions. Maps of mean spatial distribution of the species are compiled from published literature. Taking into account the spatial component is necessary because spatial co-occurrence determines potential interactions between predatory fish and prey fish of suitable size. To explore ecosystem effects of fishing, different fishing scenarios, previously examined using ECOSIM, are simulated using the OSMOSE model. They explore the effects of targeting fish species in the southern Benguela considered to be predators (Cape hake Merluccius capensis and M. paradoxus) or prey (anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus, sardine Sardinops sagax, round herring Etrumeus whiteheadi). Simulation results are compared and are generally consistent with those obtained using an ECOSIM model. This cross-validation appears to be a promising means of evaluating the robustness of model outputs, when separate validation of marine ecosystem models are still difficult to perform. -

Histological aspects of the early development of the digestive system of burbot Lota lota L. (Lotidae, Gadiformes). Folia Biologica (Kraków) 64: 11-21. The ontogeny of the digestive tract was studied histologically in burbot, Lota lota L., from hatching to 42 days post-hatch (dph). At hatching, the digestive tract consisted of a straight tube with discernible digestive accessory glands (the liver and the pancreas) dorsally attached to the yolk sac. Most of the yolk sac reserves were consumed during the first 12 days and were completely depleted by 17 dph. The first PAS-positive goblet cells appeared at 6 dph, dispersed within the epithelium of the oesophagus and increasing substantially in number and distribution as development progressed. At 12 dph, the first vacuoles (neutral lipids) appeared in the intestine, indicating the functional absorption of nutrients from food. Differentiation of gastric glands was first noticed at 17 dph and was extensive by 27 dph. L. lota larvae have a morphologically complete digestive tract by 32 dph.
