História da pescaria de camarāo de águas pouco produndas no Banco de Sofala

This work compiled data and information previously reported on the shrimp fishery and stock, since the beginning of commercial fishery in 1965. It includes a fishery description, the evolution of the fishing effort, landing and catch rates. The main historical management measures implemented in the fishery are also described, which includes the licensing regime, minimum mesh size requirements, closed seasons and total allowable catch. The methodologies used for stock assessment are also presented.

Chinook salmon spawner stocks in California's Central Valley, 1989: annual report

This report covers the 37th annual inventory of chinook salman, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, spawner populations in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River system.-It is a compilation of reports estimating the fall-, winter-, late-fall-, and spring-run salmon spawner populations for streams which were surveyed. Estimates were made from counts of fish entering hatcheries and migrating past dams, froro surveys of dead and live fish and redds on spawning areas, and from aerial counts. The estimated 1989 total escapement of chinook salmon in the Central Valley was 205,990 fish. This total consisted of 181,864 fall-, 12,171 spring-, 539 winter-, and 11,416 late-fall-run spawners. All of the spring-, late-fall-, and winter-run salmon were estimated to be in the Sacramento River system, while 3,493 fish of the fall run were in the San Joaquin River system. Due to decreases of spawner populations in most Central Valley tributaries, the total 1989 salmon stock was 32% lower than in 1988; however, late-fall salmon in the upper Sacramento River had a run size similar to that of 1988. The winter run in the mainstem Sacramento River was at a record low level. (PDF contains 44 pages.)

Anuario Estadistico de Pesca 1989

This document is in Spanish. Bajo esta concepción, con el presente Anuario se pretende poner al alcance de los interesados en el quehacer pesquero, la información estadística más relevante de lo acontecido durante 1989 en la pesca mexicana, complementándola con datos de series histó ricas del contexto internacional pesquero. El orden en que se presenta esta información, es el siguiente: En primer término, en el capítulo 1 se dan a conocer los resulta dos alcanzados en la fase primaria de la actividad, esto es, la producción proveniente de las capturas y de la acuacultura. Es conveniente precisar que los datos de producción consignados se refieren exclusivamente a la pesca que se realiza con fines comerciales. Con el fin de que la información sea accesible y de fácil consul ta para el usuario, los datos sobre producción se presentan en sus dimensiones más representativas, es decir, por principales especies, por tipo de consumo, por sectores participantes, y para darle una expresión territorial a los datos, se torna corno refereQ cia a las entidades federativas. En la parte final de este primer capítulo, se hace una separación de lo que es la producción proveniente de la acuacultura, información que también se presenta en las dimensiones arriba señaladas. El Capítulo II del Anuario contempla la información sobre el proceso de industrialización de la producción pesquera. Las variables consideradas hacen referencia a la materia prima procesada, producto terminado, principales procesos (congelado, enlatado, reducción y otros) y a la participación de las entidades federativas en esta fase de la actividad. Enseguida, en el Capítulo 111 se expresa la información relativa a la comercialización de los productos pesqueros, tanto la que se destina al mercado interno como a los mercados del exterior. Por ello, en esta parte del Anuario se presentan datos sobre consumos, disponibilidad, origen y destino de los productos, precios y Balanza Comercial Pesquera. En el Capítulo IV, para dar una idea sobre el acervo de los recursos aplicados a la actividad, se presenta información sobre los principales activos pesqueros, es decir, embarcaciones, infraestructura portuaria, centros acuícolas, planta industrial, financiamiento y sobre los recursos humanos de la pesca. Finalmente, en el Capítulo V, con el propósito de ubicar a nuestro país en el contexto mundial de la pesca, se publica información de carácter internacional, a partir de grandes agregados en materia de producción, industrialización, comercio internacional y consumos, principalmente.

Marine Ranching: Proceedings of the Eighteenth U.S.-Japan Meeting on Aquaculture Port Ludlow, Washington, 18-19 September 1989

Female reproduction in penaeid shrimp is carefully regulated by several different endocrine factors. Their precise modes of action have not yet been fully elucidated. Three endocrine factors, each representing a different chemical class of hormones, have been investigated in the penaeid shrimp Sicyonia ingentis in our laboratory: ecdysteroids, vitellogenesis-inhibiting hormone (VIH) , and methyl farnesoate (MF). Ecdysteroids (the steroid molting hormones of arthropods; predominantly 20-hydroxyecdysone), are initially present in low levels (<10 ng/mg) in shrimp embryos. As development of the embryos nears time of hatch, the ecdysteroid levels increase to approximately 150 ng/ mg, indicating that they may be of embryonic origin and involved in embryonic development. An assay was developed for shrimp VIH, which presumably is a protein. Delay of onset of the next reproductive cycle was observed following injection of sinus gland extracts into shrimp that had previously had their eyestalks removed. A photoaffinity analog was synthesized for the putative shrimp reproductive hormone MF-a terpenoid. This analog, farnesyl diazomethyl ketone (FDK) , was used to demonstrate the presence of specific binding proteins for MF in shrimp hemolymph. (PDF file contains 136 pages.)

Larval Fish Recruitment and Research in the Americas: Proceedings of the Thirteenth Annual Larval Fish Conference Merida, Mexico, 21-26 May 1989

The 13th Annual Larval Fish Conference and Annual Meeting of the American Fisheries Society Early Life History Section cohosted by Mote Marine Laboratory, United States, and the Instituto Nacional de la Pesca, Mexico, were held 21-26 May 1989, in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. The purpose of holding the meeting in Mexico was to encourage the participation of our Latin American and Caribbean colleagues and to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information among researchers working in the Americas. More than 150 participants represented 24 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and 13 foreign countries including Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, Costa Rico, Panama, Cuba, Columbia, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, and West Germany. The Conference began with registration and a social in the courtyard patio of the Merida Holiday Inn. Fresh red grouper, the most important commercial finfish species of the State of Yucatan, was prepared and served by the hotel staff, courtesy of CPI, Itzamex, and the Terramar Trading Company.

Some observations on seasonal variations in plankton population Patuxent River, Maryland 1943-1945

In directly, phytoplankton serves as food for all aquatic animals since it is at the base of the food chain in which the phytoplankton-feeding animals are eaten by larger animals and these in turn are consumed by still larger forms. Hence, it becomes evident that the phytoplankton, its presence, and seasonal variations are of great importance. The report at hand is based on a record of the variations in the plankton population of surface waters at a single station, where collections were made biweekly from September 1943 through September 1945. The station chosen was in the channel of the Patuxent River, Maryland, near its entrance into Chesapeake Bay, about midway between the head and the mouth of the Bay. (PDF contains 31 pages)

Rückläufige Tendenz des Dorschbestandes in der zentralen Ostsee hält an - (262. Forschungsreise des FFK "Solea" vom 31.1.-10.2.1989)

Die stark rückläufige Tendenz des Dorschbestandes in der zentralen Ostsee, östlich von Bornholm, über die in den letzten Jahren berichtet wurde, hält nach den Untersuchungen des FFK "Solea" (31.1. - 10.2.1989)an. Im Bornholm Becken lag der durchschnittliche Grundschleppnetzfang je Stunde auf Wassertiefen flacher als 75 m, wo ausreichende Sauerstoffverhältnisse am Boden waren, im EG-Bereich mit 2,5 Korb nochmals niedriger als 1988 (3 Korb). Er lag damit fast um 2/3 niedriger als im langjährigen Mittel 1980-1986. Die besten Fänge wurden mit jeweils 3,5 Korb im Ostzipfel des EG-Meeres, im sogenannten "Bermuda Dreieck", und südlich von Nexö auf jeweils 72 m Wassertiefe erzielt. Im großen und ganzen war der Dorsch im Wassertiefenbereich zwischen 50 und 75 m des Bornholm Beckens recht gleichmäßig verteilt.
