Now, 10 years later, a rather different view of global fisheries statistics has emerged: • IUU (i.e., Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated) fisheries catches, which are now perceived to be quite large, have moved to the centre stage in the consciousness of fisheries managers worldwide, and get regular coverage in the international media; • Catch reconstructions performed for various countries throughout the world, many under the guidance of Dr. Dirk Zeller, this report’s senior editor, show that the statistics supplied to FAO by many countries, large and small, underestimate their likely true catch (i.e., reported landings + IUU) by a factor of 2 or more. While the illegal catches of industrial fisheries (which probably contribute most of the ‘I’ in IUU) are rather difficult to document, the mostly unreported catches of small-scale fisheries can be inferred from fisher number, and/or fish consumption data. Hence, catch reconstructions tend to boost catches from the small-scale sector, which is particularly neglected in the global FAO data set. The neglect of small-scale fisheries has a strong effect on fisheries policy. Many countries, especially in the developing world, pay little attention to their small-scale fisheries, in the mistaken belief that they contribute little to their national economy and food security. Hence, these countries fail to devote resources to the study of these fisheries, and hence their catches remain un- or substantially under- reported to FAO, where they indeed appear to contribute little, thus perpetuating the problem. The only way to get out of this vicious circle is to actually reconstruct national catches from independent data if possible, or by complementing the FAO data. This report presents both types of reconstructions. Also, two contributions are presented which disaggregate the catches of the ex-USSR and ex-Yugoslavia such that the republics that emerged from the dissolution of these multi-ethnic states are treated as if they had always existed (at least since 1950, when FAO’s global statistical fisheries system began). This will enable one to treat, e.g., Russia, or Croatia, as any fisheries nations, i.e., building on fisheries catch data going back several decades, and allowing for analysis of long-term trends. It may be useful to stress again that reconstructions of the sort presented here do not claim to provide ‘true catches’. ‘Truth’ must remain elusive. But the catches presented in this report certainly represent an improvement over the present situation, and could thus be considered to move towards the ‘likely true’ catch levels. And often, this is all we can hope for: to improve on things. Daniel Pauly, Director, Fisheries Centre Canada’s arctic marine fish catches, Booth & Watts 3 CANADA’S ARCTIC MARINE FISH CATCHES1 Shawn Bootha and Paul Wattsb a Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC; e-mail: [email protected] b Institute of Arctic Ecophysiology, Churchill MB; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Canada’s arctic marine fisheries occur within FAO statistical areas 18 and 21. Although many of the communities in these areas rely on the sea, only commercial data have been part of the formal reporting procedure. Small-scale fisheries data, including subsistence fisheries, have not been formerly assessed, nor do they form part of the national and global reports. Here, we present reported and estimated catch data for the period 1950 to 2001 for the commercial and small-scale sectors, including catches that were formerly used for feeding sled-dog teams. During this period, it is estimated that small-scale marine fisheries were 27 times larger than the reported commercial catches suggest, and small-scale catches declined by 56 % overall. Excluding the sled-dog food component, the small-scale catches destined for human consumption increased from approximately 523 tonnes in 1950 to an average of nearly 1,200 tonnes in the 1970s, but declined to approximately 900 tonnes by the early 2000s. Arctic marine fisheries catches for the small-scale sector in terms of population (kg·person-1·year-1) reached an estimated peak of 268 kg in 1960 and were found to be 20.5 kg at the end of the study period. INTRODUCTION Canada’s arctic fisheries occur within FAO statistical areas 18 and 21 (Figure 1). Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is Canada’s federal agency responsible for fishery statistics, and it reports catch data for Canada, including the Central and Arctic region. The Central and Arctic region includes the coastal waters of the Yukon, the marine and inland waters of Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, Ontario and the prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, while Quebec is its own separate region (DFO, 2006). However, existing reports allow for the estimation of the marine fish component of catches from arctic waters to be separated from the inland freshwater catches. The present study reports on marine fish catches taken by communities that fish the arctic waters of Canada (commercial and small-scale) for the period 1950-2001. One purpose of the study is to provide an estimate of marine fish catches to serve as a scientific baseline in the face of global warming, while both data and trends may also be of assistance in community and intercommunity development strategies. Although several studies and reports have been published previously, there has been no comprehensive review of potential historical catches, combining both small-scale catches with reported commercial catches, and there has been no expansion to cover the entire Canadian arctic. Productivity in the marine waters of northern Canada is limited by low nutrient availability in the upper water layer caused by vertical stability, a lack of upwelling and the freeze/thaw cycle which dilutes available nutrients. In Hudson Bay, vertical stability is amplified

The purpose of this work is to assess the main parameters of the Chukotka and Kolyma glaciers (small forms of glaciation, SFG): their size and volume, and changes therein over time. The point as to whether these SFG can be considered glaciers or are in transition into, for example, rock glaciers is also presented. SFG areas were defined from the early 1980s (data from the catalogue of the glaciers compiled by R.V. Sedov) to 2005, and up to 2017: these data were retrieved from sat- Key words: ellite images. The maximum of the SGF reduction occurred in the Chantalsky Range, Iskaten Range, Chukotka Peninsula, and in the northern part of Chukotka Peninsula. The smallest retreat by this time relates to the gla- Kolyma Highlands, ciers of the southern part of the peninsula. Glacier volumes are determined by the formula of S.A. satellite image, Nikitin for corrie glaciers, based on in-situ volume measurements, and by our own method: the av- climate change, erage glacier thickness is calculated from isogypsum patterns, constructed using DEMs of individu- glacier reduction, al glaciers based on images taken from a drone during field work, and using ArcticDEM for others.

Over 10,500 names are treated including 6,793 valid species and subspecies (with 1,907 primary synonyms), 1,271 genera and subgenera (with 393 primary synonyms), 93 families and 38 superfamilies. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems are reviewed in detail, and many resolved. Detailed notes and references are provided where necessary. The constitution of a large number of families and superfamilies is discussed in detail, with the positions of some taxa rearranged in an attempt to form a stable base for future taxonomic studies. This is the first time the nomenclature of any large group of decapod crustaceans has been examined in such detail.

Abstract: Mangrove-fringed bays are highly variable ecosystems that provide critical habitats for fish species. In this study we assessed the fish assemblage in three mangrove-fringed bays (Punta Rocafuerte, Saca Calzón and Garrapatero) in the Southeast side of Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos Marine Reserve.
