The market was surveyed from April 2013 to March Dry Fish Market 2014. The study area was purposively selected and the trading system was analyzed. The market operates actively once in a week. Survey question schedule was made for the collection of data. Several species of coastal and marine dried fish like patia, lahara, vola, chanda, ruli etc were commonly available in the market. Different types of businessmen are involved in the trading system like fish processor, Beparis, Aratdars, Wholesalers, and Retailers etc. The survey revealed that the trading system till now is seasonal and the activity remains maximum in the October to January season. The price of dried marine fish varies with the size, availability, quality of the fish species. Transport, labor and electricity also play significant role in selling price determination. -

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. -

A5 By-catch Species APPENDIX 5: BY-CATCH SPECIES A.5 By-catch species By-catch is the unintentional/incidental capture of non-target species during fishing operations. Different types of fisheries have different types and levels of by-catch, depending on the gear used, the time, area and depth fished, etc. Article IV of the Convention states: "the Commission shall be responsible for the study of the population of tuna and tuna-like fishes (the Scombriformes with the exception of Trichiuridae and Gempylidae and the genus Scomber) and such other species of fishes exploited in tuna fishing in the Convention area as are not under investigation by another international fishery organization". The following is a list of by-catch species recorded as being ever caught by any major tuna fishery in the Atlantic/Mediterranean. Note that the lists are qualitative and are not indicative of quantity or mortality. Thus, the presence of a species in the lists does not imply that it is caught in significant quantities, or that individuals that are caught necessarily die.

The First Registration of Oilfish Ruvettus Pretiosus (Cocco, 1833) in the Waters of the Albanian Coast of the Adriatic Sea; Morphometry
06 | Fisheries, Game Management and Beekeeping PRELIMINARY COMMUNICATION The first registration of oilfish Ruvettus pretiosus (Cocco, 1833) in the waters of the Albanian coast of the Adriatic Sea; morphometry Dritan Arapi1, Rigerta Sadikaj2,Vladimir Spaho3 1Flora and Fauna Research Center, University of Tirana, Tirana, Albania ([email protected]) 2Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Tirana, Tirana, Albania 3Agricultural University, Tirana, Albania Abstract In February 2017, it was recorded for the first time the presence of the fish “oilfish” (Ruvettus pretiosus Cocco,1833) in the waters of the Albanian coast of the Adriatic Sea, near Karaburun peninsula. This alien fish was caught as by-catch during fishing with hooks (longline fishing) which is carried out for large pelagics. Its overall live weight was W=26.1 kg while the values for some morphometric indicators were TL=173.5 cm; FL=155 cm, SL=146cm and cf=40.2 cm. The caught specimen was donated to the Museum of Natural Sciences at the University of Tirana. Key words: oilfish, morphometry, Adriatic Sea, Albania, alien species Introduction Alien invasive species (IAS) are considered as a major threat to global diversity (Bax et al. 2003.). In the recent years, in the scientific literature have apparently increased the reports on the involvement of alien species, originating from temperate and tropical climate, in the ictic fauna of the Mediterranean basin. Alien or non-native fish have been introduced in the Mediterranean and Black Sea Basins through the Suez Canal, the Gibraltar Strait and the ballast water. The opening of Suez Canal, climate changes and the intensification of international shipping activities are factors that have favored an increase in the number of alien species. -

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences. -

Please cite this article as doi: 10.1002/spp2.1221 This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved A ‘Gempylids’ (snake mackerels) and trichiurids (cutlassfishes) are pelagic fishes characterised by slender to eel-like bodies, deep-sea predatory ecologies, and large fang-like teeth. Several hypotheses of relationships between these groups have been proposed, but a consensus remains elusive. Fossils attributed to ‘gempylids’ and trichiurids consist almost exclusively of highly compressed body fossils and isolated teeth and otoliths. We use micro-computed tomography to redescribe two three- dimensional crania, historically assigned to †Eutrichiurides winkleri and †Progempylus edwardsi, as well as an isolated braincase (NHMUK PV OR 41318). -
Report on the Bycatch and Byproduct Risk Assessments for the East Coast
Smart State smart fishing Report on the Bycatch and byproduct risk assessment for the East Coast Spanish Mackerel Fishery ISSN 0727-6273 QI06023 The Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (DPI&F) seeks to maximise the economic potential of Queensland’s primary industries on a sustainable basis.

Inquiries should be addressed to: Manager, DPI&F Publications Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries GPO Box 46 Brisbane Qld 4001 2 Executive Summary This report documents the outcomes of an ecological risk assessment undertaken on bycatch and byproduct associated with the East Coast Spanish Mackerel Fishery (ECSMF). The ECSMF has always been considered a highly selective fishery, based on a relatively benign fishing method. The risk assessment was designed to formalise, quantitatively wherever possible, the risks to non-target species associated with the fishery. The risk assessment was valuable in that it exposed a number of invalid views about the fishery, but also helped confirm some of the long-standing assumptions. -
Percomorph Phylogeny: a Survey of Acanthomorphs and a New Proposal
BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 52(1): 554-626, 1993 PERCOMORPH PHYLOGENY: A SURVEY OF ACANTHOMORPHS AND A NEW PROPOSAL G. David Johnson and Colin Patterson ABSTRACT The interrelationships of acanthomorph fishes are reviewed. We recognize seven mono- phyletic terminal taxa among acanthomorphs: Lampridiformes, Polymixiiformes, Paracan- thopterygii, Stephanoberyciformes, Beryciformes, Zeiformes, and a new taxon named Smeg- mamorpha. The Percomorpha, as currently constituted, are polyphyletic, and the Perciformes are probably paraphyletic. The smegmamorphs comprise five subgroups: Synbranchiformes (Synbranchoidei and Mastacembeloidei), Mugilomorpha (Mugiloidei), Elassomatidae (Elas- soma), Gasterosteiformes, and Atherinomorpha. Monophyly of Lampridiformes is justified elsewhere; we have found no new characters to substantiate the monophyly of Polymixi- iformes (which is not in doubt) or Paracanthopterygii. Stephanoberyciformes uniquely share a modification of the extrascapular, and Beryciformes a modification of the anterior part of the supraorbital and infraorbital sensory canals, here named Jakubowski's organ. Our Zei- formes excludes the Caproidae, and characters are proposed to justify the monophyly of the group in that restricted sense. The Smegmamorpha are thought to be monophyletic principally because of the configuration of the first vertebra and its intermuscular bone. Within the Smegmamorpha, the Atherinomorpha and Mugilomorpha are shown to be monophyletic elsewhere. Our Gasterosteiformes includes the syngnathoids and the Pegasiformes -
