Book excerpt: The species of hake, making up the genus Merluccius, are commercially important and currently largely over exploited, with many stocks badly depleted and showing only limited signs of recovery. From the end of the 1990s, concepts such as sustainability, ecosystem-based approaches to fisheries management, a code for the responsible conduct for fisheries, governance and others have emerged or have been considered by politicians, stakeholders and society. Moreover, new tools for stock assessment have been developed. But many hake stocks of the genus Merluccius show no sign of restoration. Hakes: Biology and Exploitation brings together a wealth of important information on the biology and exploitation of hake and hoki stocks around the world. Each chapter provides an overview of the fisheries of each species in an ecological and environmental context, looking at stock distribution, characteristics of the environment, life history, reproduction, diet, growth, mortality, pricing and markets of each geographical region and the hake species found there. With chapters written by regional experts on hake species and included within Wiley-Blackwell’s prestigious Fish and Aquatic Resources Series, Hakes: Biology and Exploitation provides up-to-date and comparative information, including new approaches to fisheries management, for all those involved in fisheries management, aquatic ecology and biological sciences.

Download or read book Alboran Sea Ecosystems and Marine Resources written by José Carlos Báez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-22 with total page 942 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alboran Sea represents a regional Mediterranean space where North and South worlds merges, creating a geopolitical region where marine resources and maritime activities should be managed from a national and international perspectives. It is widely known, that currently the planet is suffering a global change, and it is also affecting the Alboran Sea, its ecosystems and populations. An important first step to update a paramount vision on this region is to understand the climatic, geologic and oceanographic, including biochemical cycles, process which shapes the rich geodiversity, biodiversity, the productivity, and the sustainable use of the marine resources from Alboran Sea. The fisheries management system should take into account marine environmental variability to achieve biological sustainability of marine resources. Well-funded policy-makers’ decisions require a sound science based knowledge of the interaction between the marine environment and commercial stocks. This is because the role of marine environment in the evolution of fish stocks is sometimes even more important than the one played by fishers in the commercial exploitation of them. Finally, we should analyze the different aspects of political context that could affect the management of the resources from Alboran Sea in the context of climate change. This book reviews different aspects of the Alboran Sea to help understand the current situation from the original Tethis Ocean. The book is divided into four blocks: (i) Oceanographic, geological and ecological context (chapters 2 to 7), (ii) biodiversity and ecosystems distribution (chapters 8 to 12), (iii) fisheries resources and aquaculture (chapters 13 to 20), and (iv) conservation, management and marine polices (chapters 21 to 25).
Download or read book Fishes A Guide to Their Diversity written by Philip A. Hastings and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-01-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a coursebook and reference guide for ichthyology courses that will also serve as a tool for ichthyologists, fisheries scientists, marine biologists, and vertebrate zoologists. It will cover the basic anatomy and diversity of all 62 orders of fishes, focusing on the distinguishing characteristics of approximately 180 of the most commonly encountered fish families. Each family will be diagnosed with easily observed characteristics and clear photos--many in color and from living specimens. This guide will be distinctive through the use of photographs of preserved specimens primarily from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Marine Vertebrate Collection, supplemented by radiographs and additional illustrations of key characters. The goal is to give ichthyology students, fisheries scientists, marine biologists, vertebrate zoologists, and others with an interest or stake in the diversity of fishes a broad overview of the morphological diversity of fishes, arranged in a modern classification system. For students, it's a natural complement to primary ichthyology textbooks, which don't cover the breadth of morphological characteristics necessary to identify fish"--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book The implementation of the ecosystem approach to fisheries management in G k eada Turkey written by Ünal, V., Tosuno?lu, Z., T?ra??n, E.M., Vasconcellos, M. and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gökçeada is Turkey’s largest island, and acts as a natural center for the transition points of migrating fish, located at the entrance of Saros Bay, and at a point where the Marmara Sea and the North Aegean waters meet. The banks surrounding Gökçeada, create rich fishing beds. It also hosts Turkey’s only marine park established in 1999. A lack of stock assessments, as well as co-management, has impeded fisheries management capabilities in the region. This document presents a first baseline report on the fisheries of Gökçeada to facilitate its transition to incorporating the principles of an ecosystem approach to fisheries management. This report was prepared as part of the project «Transition to Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management and Designing a Management Plan in Gökçeada, Turkey», carried out in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and managed by Ege University with the participation of many other stakeholders and financed by the FAO EastMed Project. The first part of the report presents information on the fisheries, and the second section, presents threats to the sustainability of fishing. A review of all existing relevant data was completed in addition to fisher interviews performed in 2020 to properly understand the current state of the fisheries and threats affecting sustainability. The baseline report is the first step towards the preparation of a management plan for fisheries in Gökçeada. The success of this initiative requires the joint willingness and determination of all stakeholders, especially from the official institutions and the fishery cooperative.
Download or read book Multi scale Phylogenomics of Gadiformes with Emphasis on Hakes Merluccius Merlucciidae written by Adela Y. Roa-Varon and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gadiformes include some of the most important commercially harvested fishes in the world (e.g. cods, hakes, and grenadiers). Currently, different authors recognize anywhere between 11 and 14 families, approximately 84 genera, and over 600 species. The monophyly of the order has been supported by both morphological and molecular data, yet the relationships among families and subfamilies remain poorly understood and interpreting phylogenetic patterns to date has been difficult. My dissertation research on multi-scale phylogenetics of Gadiformes with emphasis on hakes (Merluccius, Merlucciidae) has three primary objectives: (1) to improve the understanding of the phylogenetic relationships among families of Gadiformes (Teleostei); (2) to analyze the phylogenetic relationships within the family Merlucciidae (Merluccius) and (3) to explore the evolution of the caudal skeleton using molecular, morphological and ecological data. in chapter two, a gene capture approach was used, targeting coding DNA sequences (CDS) from single-copy protein-coding genes to study the higher-level relationships (i.e., above the genus level) of Gadiformes. Matrices of 14,208 loci (~2.8 M bp) were generated from a total of 57 species representing all recognized Gadiformes families and subfamilies. Species tree and concatenated maximum likelihood analyses resolved a highly congruent and well-supported phylogeny at both shallow and deep levels that contributes towards stabilizing higher-level Gadiformes classification. in accordance with these results a revised classification of the group is provided in chapter two. in Chapter three the systematics, evolution, and taxonomy of a particularly problematic family, the hakes (Merluccius, Merlucciidae), using genomic data from 13,771 loci and 74 taxa were reassessed. This study resolved the controversy surrounding the taxonomic extent of Merlucciidae and the phylogenetic placement of the genera historically included within the family, based on complete taxonomic sampling at the family and subfamily levels among gadiforms. Additionally, the phylogenetic analysis confirmed an early separation of two lineages of Merluccius, the Old World and the New World clades. The Old World clade includes five well defined species and the New World clade includes three species and two complexes of species suggesting the presence of only one species in the eastern Pacific, as well as, one species in the Southern Ocean (Patagonia – New Zealand). Chapter four provided for the first time a description of the caudal skeleton for all the families among Gadiformes and explores the character evolution of 11 characters (morphological and ecological) mapped on a taxonomically robust phylogenetic hypothesis proposed in chapter two. The ancestral state reconstruction analyses suggest that the ancestral condition among gadiforms had a caudal fin and a pelagic origin. Its loss arose at least two times within Gadiformes resulting in two main phenotypes - the tailed and the tailless fishes, neither of which form a monophyletic grouping. This study is the most comprehensive phylogenomic study of Gadiformes to date. This dissertation used a novel molecular technique coupled with morphological and ecological data that resulted in a better understanding of the evolution of commercially and ecological valuable fishes, which is necessary for effective fisheries management and the preservation of reproductive and genetic diversity. Further steps, including morphological data of extant and extinct taxa, is essential to fully understand macroevolutionary patterns and processes in phenotypic evolution and lineage diversification of gadiforms.
