Examining the Movement and Residency of Adult SBT in the Tasman Sea and on Their Spawning Grounds South of Indonesia Using Pop-Up Archival Tags CCSBT-ESC/0609/Info 01 Examining the movement and residency of adult SBT in the Tasman Sea and on their spawning grounds south of Indonesia using pop-up archival tags J.S. Gunn K. Evans T.A. Patterson T.I. Carter Prepared for the CCSBT 7th Meeting of the Stock Assessment Group (SAG7) and the 11th Meeting of the Extended Scientific Committee (ESC11) 4-11 September, and 12-15 September 2006, Tokyo, Japan CCSBT-ESC/0609/Info01 Short Abstract to be provided Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags (PSATs) were deployed on 51 large (156–200cm length to caudal fork) southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) in the western Tasman Sea during the austral winters of 2001-2005. Southern bluefin tuna (SBT) were resident in the Tasman Sea for up to six months, with movements away from the tagging area occurring at highly variable rates. In general, SBT moved south into the Southern Ocean, west along the southern continental margin of Australia and then into the Indian Ocean. Three individuals moved east into the central Tasman Sea, with one individual reaching New Zealand waters before returning to the western Tasman Sea. We describe the first observed migration of a SBT from the Tasman Sea to the Indian Ocean spawning grounds south of Indonesia. Individuals spent most of their time on the continental shelf/slope region with an estimated 84 % of time spent in the Australian Fishing Zone. While inconclusive, movement data presented here raise the possibility that SBT estimated to be recruited to the spawning stock are not obligate annual spawners. In general, SBT demonstrated a distinct preference for temperatures between 18-20°C, adjusting depth preferences to reflect changes in the vertical distribution of their thermal preferences. Individuals demonstrated periods of distinct diurnal diving patterns and periods where swimming depths were adjusted to remain at a constant light level over the course of a day. These new data are a significant advance toward greater understanding the spatial dynamics of large SBT and understanding the connectivity between distant regions of their distribution. KEYWORDS: Southern bluefin tuna, Pop-up Satellite Archival Tag, spawning migration, spatial dynamics, habitat preferences. 1 Examining the movement and residency of adult SBT in the Tasman Sea and on their spawning grounds south of Indonesia using pop-up archival tags John Gunn Karen Evans Toby Patterson Thor Carter Final Report to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry July 2006 Examining the movement and residency of adult SBT in the Tasman Sea and on their spawning grounds south of Indonesia using pop-up archival tags J.S.

NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags (PSATs) were deployed on 51 large (156–200cm length to caudal fork) southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii ) in the western Tasman Sea during the austral winters of 2001-2005. Attachment durations of PSATs on southern bluefin tuna (SBT) ranged 2–206 days and data were received from 46 of the 51 PSATs deployed. Tag attachment durations increased throughout the period of the study largely through improved anchor and tether designs and the implementation of a secondary anchor. However, despite these improvements the single largest hindrance to accumulating long-term data on the movements and habitat preferences of SBT using PSATs in this tagging study was achieving long term attachments. Individual SBT made large scale migrations between separate foraging areas and to the area of the spawning grounds, demonstrating connectivity within the SBT stock over very large spatial scales within

Bax2,16 Abstract Background: Our knowledge of the benthic fauna at lower bathyal to abyssal (LBA, > 2000 m) depths off Eastern Australia was very limited with only a few samples having been collected from these habitats over the last 150 years. In May–June 2017, the IN2017_V03 expedition of the RV Investigator sampled LBA benthic communities along the lower slope and abyss of Australia’s eastern margin from off mid-Tasmania (42°S) to the Coral Sea (23°S), with particular emphasis on describing and analysing patterns of biodiversity that occur within a newly declared network of offshore marine parks. Methods: The study design was to deploy a 4 m (metal) beam trawl and Brenke sled to collect samples on soft sediment substrata at the target seafloor depths of 2500 and 4000 m at every 1.5 degrees of latitude along the western boundary of the Tasman Sea from 42° to 23°S, traversing seven Australian Marine Parks.

  • Portraits with Pollock
    FOREWORD The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Commercial Fisheries and th e dom es­ tic fishing industry, especiall y that part of the industry lo cated in New England, recommend pollock, an excellent sea food- nutritious, flavorful and sati s fying­ a delicious substitute for haddock. Pollock is available in great numbers in the co ld waters of the North Atlantic but is a relatively unused food resource. They are more difficult to catch th an haddock, but haddock have experienced spawning failures during the past 5 years. The famous Georges Bank haddock populations are extremely low. The United States and 13 other nations and their fishing fleets are cooperating in a program to rehabilitate the haddock resource. International annual catch quotas have been imposed and fishing for haddock in certain areas is prohibited during the spawnin g season. This program will continue at least through 1972. With little or no h addock on the market, fishing efforts are now co ncentrated on pollock, a close relative of both the haddock and cod.

  • Pollachius Virens
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published October 5 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Use of rocky intertidal habitats by juvenile pollock Pollachius virens Robert W. Rangeley*, Donald L. Kramer Department of Biology, McGill University, 1205 Docteur Penfield Avenue, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3A 1B1 ABSTRACT: We ~nvestigatedpatterns of distribution and foraging by young-of-the-year pollock Pol- lachius virens in the rocky intertidal zone. Pollock were sampled by beach seine in fucoid macroalgae and in open habitats at all stages of the tide, day and night throughout the summer. Their presence in shallow water at the high tidal stages indicated that at least part of the pollock population migrated across the full width of the intertidal zone (150 m) each tide. Densities in shallow water were much higher at low than at high tidal stages suggesting that a large influx of pollock moved in from the sub- tidal zone at low tidal stages and then dispersed into intertidal habitats at high tidal stages. There were few differences in pollock densit~esbetween algal and open habitats but abundances likely increased in the algal habitat at higher tidal stages when changes in habitat availability are taken Into account. Densities were higher at night and there was an order of magnitude decline in pollock densities from early to late summer. In another study we showed that piscivorous birds are a probable cause of pollock summer mortality. Pollock fed on invertebrates from intertidal algae relatively continuously. The tidal migrations of juvenile pollock observed in this study and their use of macroalgae as a foraging and possibly a refuging habitat strongly suggests that the rocky intertidal zone may be an important fish nursery area.
