Acknowledgements – Agradecimientos Durante los últimos cinco años he estado trabajando a tiempo completo en el desarrollo de esta Tesis y en todo momento he procurado hacerlo con todo el cariño y esfuerzo posible. Sin embargo, este trabajo no habría sido posible sin la ayuda y colaboración de un buen número de personas. Me gustaría disculparme de antemano si olvido a alguna de ellas en las próximas líneas. En primer lugar quiero agradecer a mis directores, Miquel y Amalia, porque sin ellos esta Tesis no hubiera sido posible. Me gustaría agradecer la ayuda y el ánimo que me han prestado a lo largo de todo este trabajo, especialmente la dura recta final. Además de sus consejos, sugerencias y aportaciones siempre constructivas. Quiero expresar mi más sincero agradecimiento a mis compañeros del LIMIA, Inma, Quique, Elena, Guillermo, Juanita y Jose Mª, porque sin su ayuda, ánimo y apoyo esta Tesis no habría sido posible.

Además, quiero agradecer a todos aquellos que han aportando su granito de arena con su ayuda y colaboración, especialmente a los chicos/as de prácticas, Toni, Jaime, Inés, Ricardo, por su contagiosa alegría y entusiasmo. I really want to thank all great people I met in the Austevoll Research Station (Havforskningsinstituttet), Sissel, Trine, Anders, Cathinka and many others, who let me enjoy a wonderful stay in Norway. Tusen takk! That experience will always remain in my memories. Also, because I could establish good friendships, merci Bérenger! arigatou Yuichi! Quiero dar las gracias a los compañeros de la Dirección General de Pesca, Toni Grau y los vigilantes de las reservas, que en tantas ocasiones han colaborado en este proyecto. Oli, Biel, muchas gracias por detectar todas esas corvinas en lonja! Me gustaría dar las gracias también a Andreu, Marco, Ariadna y Piluca que, junto a Salud, me iniciaron en el estudio de los isótopos estables. Gracias por vuestra ayuda y paciencia! Y en general agradecer a todos y cada uno de los investigadores (y buenos amigos) que he conocido gracias a este proyecto. 7 También agradecer a todos los pescadores, profesionales y recreativos, que han colaborado en este proyecto reportando la información de las corvinas capturas, porque realmente esta Tesis no existiría sin ellos. Gracias Joaquín, ojalá todos fueran como tú! Agradecer a todos mis amigos que tanto me han apoyado durante toda mi vida: mis amigas del cole, Arantxa, Biel, Aida, Bea,… Y especialmente Inma, que aparece por partida doble porque su ayuda también ha sido doble, a nivel laboral pero sobretodo a nivel personal.

An updated checklist and characterisation of the ichthyofauna (Elasmobranchii and Actinopterygii) of the Laguna de Tamiahua, Veracruz, Mexico. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 48 (4): 341–362. Background. Laguna de Tamiahua is ecologically and economically important as a nursery area that favours the recruitment of species that sustain traditional fisheries. It has been studied previously, though not throughout its whole area, and considering the variety of habitats that sustain these fisheries, as well as an increase in population growth that impacts the system. The objectives of this study were to present an updated list of fish species, data on special status, new records, commercial importance, dominance, density, ecotic position, and the spatial and temporal distribution of species in the lagoon, together with a comparison of Tamiahua with 14 other Gulf of Mexico lagoons. Materials and methods. Fish were collected in August and December 1996 with a Renfro beam net and an otter trawl from different habitats throughout the lagoon. The species were identified, classified in relation to special status, new records, commercial importance, density, dominance, ecotic position, and spatial distribution patterns.

In other studies, Lates + Psammoperca were excluded, restricting the family to Available online 12 May 2011 Centropomus. Recent analyses of DNA sequences did not solve the controversy, mainly due to limited taxonomic or character sampling. The present study is based on DNA sequence data from thirteen Keywords: genes (one mitochondrial and twelve nuclear markers) for 57 taxa, representative of all relevant Centropomidae species. Five of the nuclear markers are new for fish phylogenetic studies.

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.

    Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization Serial No. N5519 NAFO SCS Doc. 08/14 SCIENTIFIC COUNCIL MEETING - JUNE 2008 United States Research Report for 2007 by K.A. Sosebee NOAA/NMFS, Northeast Fisheries Science Center Woods Hole, MA 02543, USA [email protected] A. Status of the Fisheries (Subareas 3- 6 Inclusive) Brief summaries are provided on the status of fisheries for major species of finfish and shellfish. Detailed information on these species and other species found in the Northeast Region can be found at http://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/sos/. Revised sampling and reporting protocols were implemented in the Northeast Region in 1994 and then again revised in 2004. Auditing and allocation procedures have continued to be used to prorate total reported landings by species among areas. However, these procedures are subject to change and therefore, the landings by area are still considered to be provisional. Auditing and allocation procedures are expected to be finalized in 2008. 1. Atlantic Cod USA commercial landings of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) from Subareas 5-6 in 2007 were 7,668 mt, a 34% increase from 2006 landings of 5,724 mt and a 22% increase from the 6,282 mt landed in 2005. USA cod landings from the Gulf of Maine (Div. 5Y) in 2007 were 3,990 mt, a 32% increase from 3,030 mt landed in 2006. Although discards remain a source of substantial additional mortality on this stock due to the imposition of relatively low trip limits beginning in 1999, discards declined after 2003 coincident with a relaxation of the trip limit.

  • SALINITY SENSITIVITY in EARLY LIFE STAGES of an AUSTRALIAN FRESHWATER FISH, MURRAY COD (Maccullochella Peelii Peelii Mitchell 1838)
    i SALINITY SENSITIVITY IN EARLY LIFE STAGES OF AN AUSTRALIAN FRESHWATER FISH, MURRAY COD (Maccullochella peelii peelii Mitchell 1838) Piyapong Chotipuntu THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CANBERRA Submitted August 2003 ii © Piyapong Chotipuntu 2003 Abstract The Murray cod (Maccullochella peelii peelii Mitchell 1838) is Australia’s largest freshwater fish. Once highly abundant in the Murray-Darling river system, populations have drastically declined in recent decades. Many causes for this decline have been proposed, including over-fishing, habitat loss and altered river flow regimes. This study hypothesised that elevated salinities have led to selective mortality in some developmental stages, which have in turn depleted stock recruitment and adult populations. The objectives of this study were to determine the optimal, threshold, upper sublethal and lethal salinities for development of eggs, yolk-sac larvae, fry and fingerlings of M. peelii peelii. Investigation the impact of salinity on fertilisation utilised gametes of trout cod (M. macquariensis, Cuvier 1829) instead of M. peelii peelii. Studies were carried out in a controlled laboratory environment using test media prepared from commercial sea salt. The results showed that the eggs of the trout cod hatched only when fertilised and incubated in freshwater, and only larvae hatched in freshwater survived through the yolk absorption period of 12 days. Yolk utilisation efficiencies were not significantly different among the salinities of 0-0.30 g/L. There was no effect of pre- or post- fertilising processes on the salinity tolerances of yolk-sac larvae. No larvae survived at salinities higher than 0.30 g/L during the yolk utilisation period.
