Salmon farms destroying wild salmon populations in Canada, Europe: study ALISON AULD . Canadian Press NewsWire . Toronto: Feb 11, 2008. Abstract (Summary) The authors, including the late Halifax biologist Ransom Myers, claim the study is the first of its kind to take an international view of stock sizes in countries that have significant salmon aquaculture industries. The paper didn't look to the causes of the declines, which have been discussed in a series of studies over the last decade that have linked disease, interbreeding of escaped salmon and lice from farmed fish with reductions. Full Text (618 words) Copyright Canadian Press Feb 11, 2008 HALIFAX _ Salmon farming operations have reduced wild salmon populations by up to 70 per cent in several areas around the world and are threatening the future of the endangered stocks, according a new scientific study. The research by two Canadian marine biologists showed dramatic declines in the abundance of wild salmon populations whose migration takes them past salmon farms in Canada, Ireland and Scotland. ``Our estimates are that they reduced the survival of wild populations by more than half,'' Jennifer Ford, lead author of the study published Monday in the Public Library of Science journal, said in Halifax. ``Less than half of the juvenile salmon from those populations that would have survived to come back and reproduce actually come back because they're killed by some mechanism that has to do with salmon farming.'' The authors, including the late Halifax biologist Ransom Myers, claim the study is the first of its kind to take an international view of stock sizes in countries that have significant salmon aquaculture industries.

  • Pauly D (2009) Beyond Duplicity and Ignorance in Global Fisheries. Scient
    FEATURE ARTICLE SCIENTIA MARINA 73(2) June 2009, 215-224, Barcelona (Spain) ISSN: 0214-8358 doi: 10.3989/scimar.2009.73n2215 Beyond duplicity and ignorance in global fisheries* DANIEL PAULY Sea Around Us Project, Fisheries Centre Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, V6T 1Z4, Canada. SUMMARY: The three decades following World War II were a period of rapidly increasing fishing effort and landings, but also of spectacular collapses, particularly in small pelagic fish stocks. This is also the period in which a toxic triad of catch underreporting, ignoring scientific advice and blaming the environment emerged as standard response to ongoing fisheries collapses, which became increasingly more frequent, finally engulfing major North Atlantic fisheries. The response to the depletion of traditional fishing grounds was an expansion of North Atlantic (and generally of northern hemisphere) fisher- ies in three dimensions: southward, into deeper waters and into new taxa, i.e. catching and marketing species of fish and invertebrates previously spurned, and usually lower in the food web. This expansion provided many opportunities for mis- chief, as illustrated by the European Union’s negotiated ‘agreements’ for access to the fish resources of Northwest Africa, China’s agreement-fee exploitation of the same, and Japan blaming the resulting resource declines on the whales. Also, this expansion provided new opportunities for mislabelling seafood unfamiliar to North Americans and Europeans, and mislead- ing consumers, thus reducing the impact of seafood guides and similar effort toward sustainability. With fisheries catches declining, aquaculture—despite all public relation efforts—not being able to pick up the slack, and rapidly increasing fuel prices, structural changes are to be expected in both the fishing industry and the scientific disciplines that study it and in- fluence its governance.

  • REPRINT of ARTICLE in NOV. 12, 1984 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED (Editors Note
    REPRINT OF ARTICLE IN NOV. 12, 1984 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED (Editors Note - Bob Boyle brought this article to my attention this past year. Since Bill Ricker is now 91 years young and says “he is doing OK healthwise, OK for an old man!”, and “was sorry to miss the meeting last year in Argentina”. I thought readers of PERLA would enjoy reminiscing with this very interesting article. Reprint rights were obtained from Sports Illustrated in early 2000. by ROBERT H. BOYLE FISHERIES BIOLOGIST WILLIAM E. RICKER IS A REAL HALL OF FAMER IN HIS FIELD After years of following baseball and occasionally dipping into the sciences, I have arrived at these conclusions: Great mathematicians are like fastball pitchers. They're at their peak in their 20s, and after that they're finished. Great chemists are like curveball or screwball pitchers. They make their contributions in their 30s. But great biologists are like knuckleball pitchers. They can go on for years jecause they don't burn out. In fact, biologists get better with age. Ricker can be bookish when discussing his curve. *•9- The truth of it came home to me long ago when I had the good fortune to meet one of my longtime heroes, Dr. William E. Ricker, who at 76 is the Phil Niekro of fisheries biology. Ricker is the author of nearly 200 papers, articles and books about fish, aquatic insects and kindred subjects, and for a dozen years, from 1950 to '62, he served as the editor of the Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (now the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Science), which he made into the best publication of its kind in the world.

    CHAPTER 28 Beyond duplicity and ignorance in global fisheries D. Pauly Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia, Canada. Abstract This chapter is based on the Ramón Margalef Prize awards Ceremony, Oct. 6, 2008; re-edited and updated from a 2009 article of the same title in Scientia Marina 73(2) 215–223. Three decades following World War II was a period of not only rapidly increasing fi shing effort and landings, but also of spectacular col- lapses, particularly in small pelagic fi sh stocks. This was also the period in which a toxic triad of catch under-reporting, ignoring scientifi c advice, and blaming the environment emerged as a standard response to ongoing fi sheries collapses, which became increasingly more frequent. The response to the depletion of tradi- tional fi shing grounds was an expansion of Northern Hemisphere fi sheries in three dimensions: southward, into deeper waters and into new taxa, i.e. catching and marketing species of fi sh and invertebrates previously spurned, and often lower in the food web. This expansion provided many opportunities for mischief, as illustrated by the European Union’s negotiated ‘agreements’ for access to the fi sh resources of Northwest Africa. Also, this expansion provided new opportunities for mislabeling unfamiliar seafood and misleading consumers, thus reducing the impact of seafood guides and similar effort toward sustainability. With fi sheries catches declining, aquaculture – despite all public relation efforts – not being able to pick up the slack, and rapidly increasing fuel prices, structural changes are to be expected in both the fi shing industry and the scientifi c disciplines that study it and infl uence its governance.

A Case for Open-Access Databases Recreational Charter Boat Shark Fisheries Guidelines for Use of Fishes in Research Meet AFS Staff: Denise Spencer Commentary from New President Donna Parrish 03632415(2014)39(9) How to Tag a Shrimp (Once) that Molts 30 Times Faster growing strains of disease-resistant shrimp are providing a significant boost to the aquaculture industry. Developing and evaluating these strains is easier if different families can be tagged, then reared together under identical conditions. Tagging crustaceans is complicated by an exoskeleton which can be shed up to 30 times as the animal grows to a marketable size. NMT’s Visible Implant Elastomer (VIE) is injected as a liquid under clear or translucent tissue, and it cures to a pliable solid that remains externally visible. The tags are available in 10 colors, of which six fluoresce for enhanced detection. VIE can be injected into the abdominal muscles of shrimp as small as 0.2 g with little effect on growth or survival1. High tag retention through molts and maturation mean that the animals can be identified for life. By varying tag locations and colors, VIE provides the many unique codes required to identify test groups. Researchers around the world rely on VIE to evaluate the performance of various strains of shrimp2,3, but it is not limited to crustaceans. VIE is also widely used to tag fish, rays, cephalopods, amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals.

  • A Canadian Tragedy1
    A Canadian Tragedy1 by Neil Frazer2 Like most newspaper columnists, Stephen Hume receives a lot of peculiar e-mail. Especially bizarre were the e-mails he received in response to his columns in the Vancouver Sun discussing recent research on sea lice3. E-mailers urged him to investigate both Alexandra Morton, a biologist who studies whales and sea lice, and Alexandra’s mother, a futurist author. They urged him to investigate Martin Krkošek, a recent PhD from the University of Alberta who also studies sea lice. They urged him to investigate the editorial board of Science, one of the two most-respected scientific journals in the world. They urged him to investigate the editorial board of PLOS Biology, another highly respected scientific journal. To understand why Hume’s correspondents were so provoked, it is helpful to read a copy of Northern Aquaculture, the self-proclaimed “Voice of Cold Water Aquaculture in North America.” North America might be a bit of a stretch, but Northern Aquaculture is published in Victoria, and it is likely that most salmon farmers in B.C. read it. I suspect that many B.C. politicians and bureaucrats also read it. I’m a loyal subscriber for sentimental reasons: Northern Aquaculture’s editor, Peter Chettleburgh, once wrote a fine book about the marine parks of B.C., and I keep hoping he’ll write another. The January-February 2008 issue of Northern Aquaculture has three front-page stories. The first front-page story describes “a new campaign to bring aquaculture to the forefront in the thinking of federal politicians and their senior staff.” The second front-page story, with headlines in bright-red type, tells us: “New study describes environmental benefits of marine net-pen systems.” Reading on, we learn that two consultants have shown that salmon net- pens in Puget Sound have over a hundred different species of seaweed and marine life growing on their anchor lines.
