Abstract

While elasmobranchs are often a designated feature in Marine Protected Areas, there are few studies that have evaluated the effectiveness of spatial fishery restrictions on their recovery.Here we examine the effectiveness of fishery restrictions on the critically endangered flapper skate, Dipturus intermedius, based on changes in their abundance, demography and survival rate.Trends in local abundance at two sites within the Loch Sunart to the Sound of Jura Marine Protected Area (LStSJ MPA), were contrasted with that in surrounding waters off the west of Scotland where fishing remains unrestricted. Survival rate was estimated using a multi‐state model of capture mark recapture data, and spill‐over from the LStSJ MPA was considered from tag‐recapture rates between the two LStSJ MPA study areas and a further site south of the LStSJ MPA.In contrast to the wider trend across adjacent waters, skate abundance increased, especially for young juveniles, following the introduction of fishing restrictions in the LStSJ MPA. This increase could be explained by a reduction in juvenile and adult mortality as population growth rates following fishing restrictions were markedly higher than estimated in a pre‐restriction study of one site.Limited exchange of skate between the two study areas within the LStSJ MPA and a southern site beyond the LStSJ MPA indicated a low rate of spill‐over.This study demonstrates that spatial fishery restrictions have the potential to benefit populations of elasmobranchs which have a high site‐fidelity, but their wider conservation benefit may be partly confounded by a high level of residency.

Abstract

Previous studies have shown that four commercially important demersal species, namely Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), whiting (Merlangius merlangus), and European plaice (Pleuronectes platessa), spawn in distinct areas across the North Sea. Based on two comprehensive ichthyoplankton surveys in 2004 and 2009, the present study uses generalized additive mixed models to delimit these spawning grounds using the distribution of recently spawned eggs, investigates their relationship to specific environmental conditions, and examines egg dispersal during their development. Results indicate that presence-absence of early stage eggs is more related to temporal and topographic variables, while egg densities are closely linked with hydrography. Egg distribution patterns were relatively consistent during development and only changed near hatching. Compared with historic observations, the location of the spawning grounds appeared stable on the broad scale but centres of egg abundance varied between the surveyed years. Potential effects of long-term climate change and anthropogenic short-term disturbances, such as seismic surveys, on fish reproduction are discussed, pointing out the demand for multispecies studies on these issues. Des etudes anterieures ont demontre que quatre especes demersales d'importance commerciale, soit la morue franche (Gadus morhua), l'aiglefin (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), le merlan (Merlangius merlangus) et la plie (Pleuronectes platessa), fraient dans des aires distinctes dans la mer du Nord. A la lumiere de deux inventaires exhaustifs de l'ichtyoplancton realises en 2004 et 2009, l'etude fait appel a des modeles additifs generalises mixtes pour delimiter ces lieux de frai sur la base de la repartition des oeufs recemment pondus, explore leur lieu avec differentes conditions ambiantes et examine la dispersion des oeufs durant leur developpement. Les resultats indiquent que la presence ou l'absence d'oeufs precoces est plus fortement reliee a des variables temporelles et topographiques, alors que les densites d'oeufs sont etroitement reliees a l'hydrographie. Les motifs de repartition des oeufs etaient assez constants durant le developpement et ne changeaient qu'a l'approche de l'eclosion. Comparativement aux observations passees, l'emplacement des lieux de frai semblait stable a grande echelle, mais l'emplacement de centres d'abondance d'oeufs etait different pour les deux annees d'inventaire. Les effets potentiels de changements climatiques a long terme et de perturbations d'origine humaine de courte duree, comme des leves sismiques, sur la reproduction des poissons sont abordes, soulignant la pertinence d'etudes plurispecifiques sur ces questions.

Abstract

Fusarium basal rot, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cepae, is an important onion disease worldwide. Greenhouse pot experiments were conducted during two growing seasons to determine if field soils from New Zealand's main onion growing regions had different fusarium basal rot suppressive capabilities, and identified factors involved in disease suppression This study demonstrated that soils naturally suppressive to fusarium basal rot were present in New Zealand and that soil organic matter content, total soil carbon, total nitrogen and soil phosphorous concentrations were associated with disease incidence. Soil microorganisms were shown to be involved in disease suppression since when they were eliminated or reduced by soil heat treatment, fusarium basal rot incidence markedly increased. This study provided an increased understanding of how soil physical, chemical and biological factors affect the suppressiveness of selected New Zealand soils to fusarium basal rot of onion, and demonstrated that certain bacterial and fungal taxa may be involved in suppression of this disease.

Abstract

The European Fish Ageing Network (EFAN) funded by the European Union, is reviewed, and assessed after a 20-year hiatus. The large number of scientists and technicians involved in this independent and informal network, and the time invested (four years), provided a significant advance in fish age estimation and methodologies. The results presented are based on two survey questionnaires sent to EFAN members, specifically to those who had been most actively involved in the programme. Overall, EFAN can be considered as successful as it fulfilled the aim of the FAIR (Fostering Awareness Inclusion and Recognition) program in improving collaboration both at a national and European levels in the field of sclerochronology. Adding to the success was that many survey participants reported a positive impact on both their creativity and scientific careers, particularly participants from university environments and the female members, and around 50% of the participants continued in their age-related research careers. These factors, as well as the positive scientific impact EFAN has had in various European countries (n = 16), point to a very successful programme. The aim of improving what is an objective approach required to interpret growth increments in calcified structures (otoliths) in fishes, is reflected in the various tools developed by EFAN, all of which are found in the many reports produced by the Network. Examples are seen in the quality control approach by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), where tools developed by EFAN have been key to their fisheries management approach. Our general impression is that a project with a lifetime of around four years in principle provides a suitable time period to develop age estimation tools, quality control routines, and working procedures to improve the use of fish age data for fish stock assessments. We argue however, that developing a functioning network requires more time than a conventional project. Therefore, to fully meet the aims of projects such as EFAN, a period of between 10 and 15 years is a more appropriate time frame for these types of programmes to run. A longer time scale can help ensure recommendations are regularly followed, can provide more confidence in on-going routine age estimation data, and so achieve a significant improvement in the application of ageing methods. In turn a more accurate and robust scientific outcome would be available for European fish stock assessments.

Abstract

To disentangle genetic and environmental influences on phenotypic traits that influence maturation of fish, it would be useful to predict the expected change due to environment alone to compare with observations. This requires a realistically scaled, species-specific life history model of environmentally determined variation in individual growth and maturation. In this study, inter-annual variability in the proportion of mature haddock in the west North Sea was predicted using a stochastic, individual-based simulation model incorporating a temperature-dependent maturation threshold. This species and region are particularly relevant to the debate about the relative importance of genetic and climate change because North Sea haddock have experienced both high fishing mortality and substantial warming in recent decades. Using observed temperatures in combination with temperature-dependent models for growth and maturation, the simulation model predicted year-to-year variation in length and maturity at age expected for cohorts produced from 1979 to 2006. The simulated proportions mature at age 2 were then compared to the observed proportions in an annual bottom trawl survey. Although the model explained much of the high-frequency variation in maturation, the simulated time trend under-represented the rate of increase in the observed trend in proportions mature. This inability of the temperature-dependent life history model to predict the magnitude of change appears consistent with a long-term decline in the maturation threshold. This result provides indirect support for a genetic change in a key life history trait., Introduction The need for a better mechanistic understanding of fish maturation has been highlighted by the recent debate over fisheries-induced evolution (Jorgensen et al. 2007; Andersen and Brander 2009; Devine [...]
