Download or read book The Fisheries of North America written by Robin W. A. Rodger and published by Halifax, N.S. : Canadian Marine Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fisheries of North America is designed to be a comprehensive, user-friendly guide to the major commercial species of fish and shellfish landed in the US and Canada, as well as many recreational species. The book includes illustrations and keys to identifying fish by their appropriate market names, common names and scientific names and for distinguishing these species from other species they can be easily mistaken for. It is not only a definitive guide to North America?s commercial fisheries, it is also easily accessible and reliable for a range of users from general fishers to professional researchers. The book focuses on species that account for more than 99 percent of the total value of marine and freshwater, finfish and shellfish, landed in the US and Canada. Eighty different species have been chosen to represent major seafood groups under ?approved? market names (e.g., anchovy, cod, grouper, hake, clam, crab, shrimp, etc.) as defined in the publication ?The Seafood List.? Using these chosen species, the book sheds light on other species that comprise the same, or related, market name or common name designations. In total, several hundred species are introduced and discussed - almost all the commercially significant species landed in the United States and Canada. Species are identified and described under key headings; for example, name recognition, physical identification and differentiation, habitat range, fishing methods, landing trends, commercial uses and forms, spawning behaviour and life cycle. Where appropriate, the book also identifies real or potential threats to a fishery; conservation initiatives; aquaculture initiatives; impact of recreational fishing; government regulations or advisories; processing methods; under-utilized species and unique species characteristics. Conflicts and duplications in species nomenclature are still rife, particularly in the use of common names. This hampers the integrity of both economic and scientific research efforts, as well as the transparency of commercial transactions. Like language itself, existing or local custom often prevails over standard conventions and some fish/shellfish nomenclature issues will never be entirely resolved to everyone?s satisfaction. For example, it is unlikely that lake trout or brook trout will ever be widely known (or marketed) as ?char? [?charr? in Fishbase] even though this may be a more appropriate market name. Many other sources of nomenclature confusion abound. Rockfish are legally marketed as snapper on the West Coast, while Greenland turbot is often marketed as halibut in Boston. Two different species, Atlantic pollock and walleye pollock are often reported together as just ?pollock.? Blackback flounder and gray sole, are designated common names, but are more often reported under different ?common? names. Bass, butterfish, bluefish, hake, seatrout, perch, pompano, porgy, snapper and whiting are all examples where common names or market names are often used incorrectly. Some species of shellfish (e.g., clams and whelks) have no generally recognised common name at all.The book tackles these identification issues head-on. To accomplish ?cradle to grave? species identification, the author?s approach was to match (where possible) the preferred market names and common names of fish/shellfish species, as identified in ?The Seafood List,? to the most recently designated scientific names of the species as verified in the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS). In most cases, ?The Seafood List?s? species scientific name was the same as the ITIS name; however, where there was a difference, the ITIS designation was used. The US-sponsored ITIS database for scientific names, as with the ?The Seafood List,? is based on North American-wide input. Hence, the species identification terminology used in this book is compatible with the most recently approved usage in North America, but may not equate with other conventions. For example, species of finfish were cross-referenced with the ?Fishbase? database and many differences in nomenclature, particularly in preferred common names, were noted, and included here. The book makes a serious effort at clarifying issues of species identity so that the reader can quickly appreciate and connect issues of larger importance. Market information is often deficient without clear identification and understanding of the species being discussed. Similarly, scientific information on species often lacks important perspectives on economic impact and market presentation. The integrated approach taken in this book facilitates a quick and comprehensive (if not detailed) understanding of the state of the major commercial fisheries in the United States and Canada. This effort is aided by almost 100 illustrations of key species and a comprehensive index that is organized to reflect market names, common names, scientific names and common aliases. Multi-lingual names are also included in the text. An introductory section provides a perspective on the historical impact of the fisheries in the early settlement of North America and an overview of the present socio-economic impact of the industry. This is supplemented with illustrations and information on fishing methods and common terms used to describe fishes? physical attributes, so the reader can easily follow the text. A glossary of the scientific terms used is also included. Hence, the book should prove to be a valuable tool to industry and government decision-makers, as well as researchers and educators involved in the North American fisheries. An illustrated MS Power Point presentation of the book can also be made available for classroom, or seminar, use. 180 statistical tables100 illustrationsFor additional information and title page see: http://www.marketresearchassociates.com/Publications.htm

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to provide assessments of multidecadal changes in resources and environments of the Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) of the North Atlantic. Using the case study method, researchers examine the forces driving the changes and actions underway aimed at turning the corner from declining trends in biomass yields, toward recovery of depleted species populations and improvements in ecosystem integrity. Recently a distinguished group of 24 scientists argued eloquently that a new Sustainability Science was emerging that was focused on "meeting fundamental human needs while preserving the life support systems of planet Earth". The contributions contained in this volume are at the cutting edge of Sustainability Science and the results presented by the contributors are pertinent to one of the core questions: "How are long-term trends in environment and development, including consumption and population, reshaping nature-society interactions in ways relevant to sustainability?" (Science Vol. 292, 27 April 2001). The case studies demonstrate the utility of an ecosystem-based approach to the assessment and management of biomass yields and species sustainability. Movements toward ecosystem-based management have emerged from the case studies on the initiation of recoveries of several depleted groundfish stocks of the US Northeast Shelf LME; the collapse of the Newfoundland-Labrador Shelf cod; the assessment of physical and biological changes on the Scotian Shelf, West Greenland Shelf, Iceland Shelf LME, and the Faroe Plateau, the North Sea, and the Barents Sea LMEs. Uncertainties, with regard to environmental and human-generated forcing, are addressed in assessment of the states of the Iberian Coastal and Biscay-Celtic LMEs, and in broad-scale studies of the influences at the base of the food chain of climatic variability on the productivity and biodiversity of plankton communities of the North Atlantic. The volume concludes with an insightful perspective on the approaches used and the results reported by the eminent marine scientist and former President of ICES, Professor Gotthilf Hempel.
