ISSN: 2642-9020 Review Article Journal of Marine Science Research and Oceanography Taxonomical Identification and Diversity of Flat Fishes from Mudasalodai Fish Landing Centre (Trawl by Catch), South East Coast of India Gunalan B* and E Lavanya *Corresponding author B Gunalan, PG & Research Department of Zoology, Thiru Kollanjiyapar PG & Research Department of Zoology, Thiru Kollanjiyapar Government Arts College, Viruthachalam. Cuddalore-Dt, Tamilnadu, India Government Arts College, Viruthachalam Submitted: 31 Jan 2020 Accepted: 05 Feb 2020; Published: 07 Mar 2020 Abstract Bycatch and discards are common and pernicious problems faced by all fisheries globally. It is recognized as unavoidable in any kind of fishing but the quantity varies according to the gear operated. In tropical countries like India, bycatch issue is more complex due to the multi-species and multi-gear nature of the fisheries. Among the different fishing gears, trawling accounts for a higher rate of bycatch, due to comparatively low selectivity of the gear. A study was conducted during June 2018 - Dec 2019 in the Mudasalodai fish landing centre, southeast coast of India. During the study period six sp. of flat fishes collected and identified taxonomically. Keywords: Flat fish, tongue fish, sole fish, bycatch, fish landing, waters of Parangipettai. The study was conducted for a period of diversity, taxonomy one and half year (June 2018 - Dec 2019), no sampling was done in the month of May, due to the fishing holiday in the coast of Introduction Tamil Nadu. The collected flat fishes were kept in ice boxes and Fish forms an important source of food and is man’s important transferred to the laboratory and washed in tap water. -
Food and Feeding Habits of Malabar Sole Cynoglossus Macrostomus Norman
J. mar. biol. Ass. India, 2000, 42 (1&2) : 124 - 134 Food and Feeding habits of Malabar sole Cynoglossus macrostomus Norman A. A. Jayaprakash Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi - 682 014 Abstract The food and feeding habits of Malabar sole Cynoglossus macrostomus Norman occurring along the coastal seas off Kerala were studied both qualitatively and quantitatively during 1994-96. The samples for the study were collected from three widely located centres like Cochin, Ambalapuzha and Neendakara. The fish mainly adapted to a bottom habitat feeds on polychaetes and detritus, amphipods, copepods, small molluscs and foraminifera. Active feed- ing was found immediately after spawining during October - November and February March. There was not much difference in the forage items noticed at different centres. Since the detritus is an important food component followed by other macrobenthos the fish can safely be placed between trophic level I and 11.

Performance of High Modulus Fiber Ropes in Service on Dual Capstan Traction Winches
PERFORMANCE OF HIGH MODULUS FIBER ROPES IN SERVICE ON DUAL CAPSTAN TRACTION WINCHES: A SIMULATION OF ROPE/WINCH INTERACTIONS DURING DEEP SEA LONG CORING OPERATIONS 1.0 INTRODUCTION At present, UNOLS systems for collecting sea floor sediment samples are limited to the recovery of large diameter [10 cm] cores approximately 25-meter long. The current technology employs a Kullenberg piston corer [wt = ~5,000 lbs.] suspended and controlled by a torque-balanced wire rope [9/16” Dia. / MBL = 16 tons] and single drum trawl winch system. A new and much larger coring device is under development at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The goal of the new project is to create an integrated yet portable system capable of recovering cores up to 50 meters long in full ocean depths [~ 5500 meters]. The new corer alone has a weight of 25,000 lbs.; and numerical modeling has shown that in operation, the expected maximum tension that the overboarding arrangements will endure [during core extraction] is between 50 and 60,000 pounds. The new system will, for the first time, employ high modulus synthetic fiber rope to replace the ‘traditional’ 3 X 19 wire rope. The change to synthetic rope is necessary, as the weight of a wire rope sufficiently strong to support the proposed corer would have inherently excessive mass to allow reasonable shipboard handling and provide an acceptable factor of safety during operations. This change to fiber rope is possible due to the recent introduction of suitable products made from high performance synthetic fibers. These new high modulus braided ropes are stronger than equivalent diameter wire rope, but are buoyant or lightweight in seawater. -

After 88 Years - Four-Masted Barque PEKING Back in Her Homeport Hamburg
Four-masted barque PEKING - shifting Wewelfsfleth to Hamburg - September 2020 After 88 Years - Four-masted Barque PEKING Back In Her Homeport Hamburg Four-masted barque PEKING - shifting Wewelfsfleth to Hamburg - September 2020 On February 25, 1911 - 109 years ago - the four-masted barque PEKING was launched for the Hamburg ship- ping company F. Laeisz at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg. The 115-metres long, and 14.40 metres wide cargo sailing ship had no engine, and was robustly constructed for transporting saltpetre from the Chilean coast to European ports. The ship owner’s tradition of naming their ships with words beginning with the letter “P”, as well as these ships’ regular fast voyages, had sailors all over the world call the Laeisz sailing ships “Flying P-Liners”. The PEKING is part of this legendary sailing ship fleet, together with a few other survivors, such as her sister ship PASSAT, the POMMERN and PADUA, the last of the once huge fleet which still is in active service as the sail training ship KRUZENSHTERN. Before she was sold to England in 1932 as stationary training ship and renamed ARETHUSA, the PEKING passed Cape Horn 34 times, which is respected among seafarers because of its often stormy weather. In 1975 the four-master, renamed PEKING, was sold to the USA to become a museum ship near the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. There the old ship quietly rusted away until 2016 due to the lack of maintenance. -Af ter returning to Germany in very poor condition in 2017 with the dock ship COMBI DOCK III, the PEKING was meticulously restored in the Peters Shipyard in Wewelsfleth to the condition she was in as a cargo sailing ship at the end of the 1920s. -

There are four major families of flatfish with representative species found in the Gambian nearshore waters: Soleidae, Cynoglossidae, Psettododae and Paralichthyidae. The species below have been confirmed through literature review, and through discussions with local fishermen, processors and the Gambian Department of Fisheries. -
Glossary of Nautical Terms the Maritime World Has a Language of Its Own
Glossary of Nautical Terms The maritime world has a language of its own. It may seem silly to use special terms instead of simply using one that we use for the same thing shore side, but it actually serves a practical purpose. For example, why not just call a galley a kitchen; it’s just a place where you cook food, right? Not exactly, in a kitchen you can leave pot of hot soup on the counter and, barring some geological event, it will still be there when you get back. In a galley, it is more likely to be all over the deck upon return. Using the proper terminology aboard a vessel helps to enforce the mindset that the maritime environment is different from that on shore and therefore, demands a different code of conduct. Objects: Bit: Two adjacent posts used for mooring or making a line fast to Bollard: A single post used for mooring or making a line fast to Boom: (1) Horizontal spar attached to the foot of a sail; (2) A spar used for lifting such as on a crane or davit Bow: The forward end of the vessel *Bowsprit: Spar protruding from the bow of a sailing vessel used for the attachment of the headsails Bulkhead: A vertical partition inside a vessel Bulwark: A partition extending above the weather deck of a vessel used to prevent seas from washing over and keep objects and personnel from going overboard Capstan: Deck winch, usually configured vertically, used for hauling in lines See Windlass. Ceiling: Planking on the interior sides the hull used for separating internal space from the frame bays; in some cases used to increase hull stiffness to prevent hogging particularly in wood vessels (Hogging is the sagging of the vessel towards the bow and stern due to lack of floatation from the narrowing of the hull. -
