En total, achéganse nomes galegos para 534 especies de moluscos. A estrutura En primeiro lugar preséntase unha clasificación taxonómica que considera as clases, ordes, superfamilias e familias de moluscos. Aquí apúntase, de maneira xeral, os nomes dos moluscos que hai en cada familia. A seguir vén o corpo do documento, onde se indica, especie por especie, alén do nome científico, os nomes galegos e ingleses de cada molusco (nalgún caso, tamén, o nome xenérico para un grupo deles). Ao final inclúese unha listaxe de referencias bibliográficas que foron utilizadas para a elaboración do presente documento. Nalgunhas desas referencias recolléronse ou propuxéronse nomes galegos para os moluscos, quer xenéricos quer específicos. Outras referencias achegan nomes para os moluscos noutras linguas, que tamén foron tidos en conta. Alén diso, inclúense algunhas fontes básicas a respecto da metodoloxía e dos criterios terminolóxicos empregados. 2 Tratamento terminolóxico De modo moi resumido, traballouse nas seguintes liñas e cos seguintes criterios: En primeiro lugar, aprofundouse no acervo lingüístico galego. A respecto dos nomes dos moluscos, a lingua galega é riquísima e dispomos dunha chea de nomes, tanto específicos (que designan un único animal) como xenéricos (que designan varios animais parecidos).

Mori*, T. Watanabe*, T. Meguro", Y. Kamei", and Y. Sakurai" Abstract The neon flying squid, Ommastrephes bartrami, was the target species of the Japanese squid driftnet fishery in the Central North Pacific Ocean during 1979- 1992. Interannual variation in the neon flying squid catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) in this fishery was highly correlated with that of the Hokkaido University's research driftnet surveys since 1979 along 175' 307Ein July which coincided with the peak of the commercial fishery. While productivity in the northern North Pacific Ocean was high during the 1970's and declining to the present days, the research net CPUE of 0. bartrami was higher in 1979 and in 1994-97 than in other years, suggesting effect of fishing on the stock abundance. The distributions and CPUE variability in 0. bartarmi were also affected by water temperature and salinity structures around the Subarctic Boundary. During the intensive driftnet fishing, three squid species (0. bartrami, Gonatopsis borealis and Onchoteuthis borealijaponica) may have, to some extent, filled throphic niche that was occupied by pelagic fishes.

This is one of the most widely distributed and conspicuous families of squids in the world. Most species are exploited commercially. Todarodes pacificus makes up the bulk of the squid landings in Japan (up to 600 000 t annually) and may comprise at least 1/2 the annual world catch of cephalopods.In various parts of the West- ern Central Atlantic, 6 species of ommastrephids currently are fished commercially or for bait, or have a potential for exploitation. Ommastrephids are powerful swimmers and some species form large schools. Some neritic species exhibit strong seasonal migrations, wherein they occur in huge numbers in inshore waters where they are accessable to fisheries activities. The large size of most species (commonly 30 to 50 cm total length and up to 120 cm total length) and the heavily mus- cled structure, make them ideal for human con- ventral view sumption.

We ex- amined life history differences between the 2 cohorts in relation to the oceanographic environment. The differ- ences could be explained by seasonal north–south movements of the following 2 oceanographic zones: (1) the optimum spawning zone defined by sea surface temperatures; and (2) the food-rich zone defined by the position of the transition zone chlorophyll front (TZCF). The 2 cohorts use the food-rich zone in different phases of their life cycles. The spawning grounds for the au- Hatchling of the neon flying squid Ommastrephes bartramii tumn cohort occur within the subtropical frontal zone Photo: M. Sakai (STFZ), characterized by enhanced productivity in win- ter due to its proximity to the TZCF, whereas the spawning grounds for the winter–spring cohort occur within the subtropical domain, which is less productive.
