It contains published material on the taxonomy, distribution, abundance, life history, fisheries management, and ecology of North Atlantic redfishes and Pacific rockfishes. References on the technical aspects of the fishery and fish processing industry in regards to Sebastes are ) also included because of the commercial value of redfish and rockfish. In addition, administrative reports, stock assessment reports, doctoral dissertations, and master's thesis are included. Materials dating from the eighteenth century to the end of 1987 are cited. The bibliography is based on records which have been downloaded from literature searches done on a variety of online databases including Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts, NTIS, and BIOSIS. References were gathered from sources such as Canada's Fisheries and Oceans, Waves database, Northwest and Alaska Fisheries Center, NWAFC Technical Memorandums and Processed Reports, and G. I. McT Cowan's Author-Subject Index to Fisheries Research Board of Canada Translation Series. World Bibliography of Redfishes and Rockfishes (Sebastinae, scorpaenidae) by D. Clay and T. J. Kenchington, 1986 was the most comprehensive source encountered. English translations of articles appearing in a foreign language are cited in the bibliography whenever possible. Titles of references in foreign languages appear translated into English. References to the original source from which an English translation was made generally do not appear in the bibliography. When a reference has been published more that once, the English translation is cited. The bibliography is limited to the characters available on an IBM standard computer terminal. Therefore there are no accents, italics or underlines. Abstracts accompany many citations. This bibliography was completed in February, 1988 and there are plans for annual updates of the text. The bibliography has also been provided on floppy disks for use with Sci-Mate Software System* (produced and registered by the Institute for Scientific Information) on IBM-PC compatible computers. In this format the bibliography can be searched, sorted and citations can be retrieved by author, date, species names, and key words. A machine readable version of the bibliography is also available as an ASCII or text file on floppy disk. For those who use the text format, we suggest using LIST, a "shareware" program, to scan and extract information. *Mention of trade names does not imply endorsement by the National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA. iii I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ) A disk version of the Sebastes bibliography is being distributed by American Fisheries Society Computer User Section, Anthony . ) Frank, AFSCUS Librarian, 1451 Green Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48105. 313-994-3331.

Maureen Leet Librarian ) Abstract This bibliography on genus Sebastes (family Scorpaenidae) contains 1,258 references on the taxonomy, .distribution, abundance, life history, fisheries management, and'ecology of North Atlantic redfishes and Pacific rockfishes. The purpose of the project is to coordinate and organize the scientific literature on Sebastes and make a useful bibliography available to researchers working on rockfish. It is based on records downloaded from literature searches done on a variety of online databases and references gathered" from bibliographic sources. Materials dating from the eighteenth century to the end of 1987 are cited. Abstracts accompany many citations. This bibliography was completed in February, 1988. A disk version of the Sebastes bibliography is being distributed by American Fisheries Society Computer User Section, Anthony Frank, AFSCUS Librarian, 1451 Green Rd.

Evaluation of bottom fish from the Flemish Cap Bank. 5 Evento Cientifico, ) Instituto de Oceanologia, La Habana, Cuba No.3. Schaefer's (1954) production model modified by Gulland (1961) was used to evaluate the Sebastes sp. and Gadus morhua populations from the Flemish Cap Bank, located northeast of the Terranova Bank in the northwestern ) Atlantic. The effect of the increase in efficiency of the production system was analyzed. Maximum permissible catch was determined at 51,874, 47,926 and 47,846 tons averaging the fishing effort for 10, 11 and 12 years respectively. Fishing effort should be reduced to the level of the effort for maximum sustainable yield. ) Adams, Peter B. 1980. Morphology and distribution patterns of several important species of rockfish (genus Sebastes). Mar. Fish. Rev. 42(3-4):80-82 On the basis of morphometrics, several species pairs of rockfish are suggested. Members of the species pairs are found to be spatially segregated. It is suggested that certain types of adaptive strategies are very important in terms of species that can support commercial fisheries. Adams, Peter B. 1987.

Effect of washing on the nutritional and quality characteristics of dried minced rockfish flesh. J. Food Sci. 48(4):1053-1055. Yield and nutritional characteristics of unwashed and washed minced rockfish (Sebastes melanops, S. flavidus, S. rUbrivinctus, S. pinniger,s. proriger, flesh and fillets were determined. The yield of fillets from whole fish was 26% compared to 43% for minced flesh. Washing minced flesh resulted in a 37% loss of solids. The greatest reductions were found in the ash (80%) and lipid (65%) levels in the washed flesh. Most of the sarcoplasmic proteins were lost during washing, but 77% of the total protein (N x 6.25) was recovered in the washed fraction. Washing minced flesh did not affect the amino acid composition, and PER values for all three fish treatments were higher than the casein reference. The rapid formation of trimethylamine and dimethylamine in the dried fillets and dried minced unwashed flesh may explain the development of off-flavors in wafers • containing 10% dried fish after 8 wk of storage at 30 degree C. Agnello, R. J., and L. G. Anderson. 1981. Production responses for mUlti-species fisheries. Can. J. Fish. Aquat. Sci. 38(11):1393-1404. Production equations are estimated for 5 major species of fish harvested in the Northwest Atlantic including Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), flounder (Pleuronectiformes), redfish (Sebastes marinus) and herring (Clupea harengus) using data collected by the International Commis~ion for the Northeast Atlantic Fisheries from 1960-1974. A log-linear regression specification is used in which the relationship between catch of a vessel and several factors including days fished, and vessel characteristics is estimated simultaneously. Vessel characteristics are represented as (0,1) categorical variables, and include a variable indicating the target species designated by the caption. Various settings for the target species variables allow the estimated equation to represent either a by-catch or target catch equation. The production parameters estimated by the regressions are used to analyze the effects of current quotas set by the New England [USA] Fisheries Management Council. For some fleets there is a likelihood of idle capacity given the current quotas. Ahlstrom, E. H. 1959. vertical distribution of pelagic fish eggs and larvae off California and Baja California. Fish. Bull., U.S. 60:107-146. Redfish larvae belong to the large group of fish larvae that occurs in the upper mixed layers or within the thermocline but not below it. Most are taken between 10.2 degrees C and 16.1 degrees C. Ahlstrom, E. H. 1961. Distribution and relative abundance of rockfish (Sebastes spp.) larvae off California and Baja California. Rapp. P.-V. Reun. Cons. Int. Explor. Mer 150:169-176. The information in this paper concerns the distribution and abundance of Sebastes larvae in the area off California and Baja California that is surveyed by agencies participating in the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations. The pelagic distribution of rockfish larvae, especially their presence at considerable distances offshore, should be of interest, since it parallels, in part at least, the widespread oceanic distribution of Sebastes larvae in the North Atlantic. 2 ) Ahlstrom, E.
