In this session on the relevancy of fish behaviour to fish catchability,the focus was on (i) quantifying fish reactions to stimuli producedby fishing vessels and fishing gear, and their effect on theprecision of resource surveys and the success of commercialfishery operations, and (ii) applying knowledge of fish behaviourto improve estimates of survey catchability, species and sizeselectivity of commercial fishing gears, and the design of ecosystem-friendlyfishing gears. Dr Olav Rune Godø!, IMR Bergen, gave the opening lectureon "Fish behaviour and fish catchability in modern ecosystem-basedfishery management", which was followed by 13 oral presentationsand a summary presentation of the 16 posters associated withthis theme session. These 2g presentations centred around theinteraction of environmental factors – both natural andanthropogenic – with various fish sensory receptors toresolve reaction complexity in  相似文献

Towards a catchability constant for trawl surveys of Namibian hake     
《African Journal of Marine Science》2013,35(1):375-383
A trawl catches only a portion of the fish in its path. The term catchability therefore refers to the fraction of the available fish caught. A method was developed and tested to establish catchability constants for trawl surveys of Namibian hake Merluccius spp. A catchability constant can be expressed as a simple relationship between hake area densities calculated from trawl catches and acoustic biomass estimates. Initial values were on an order of magnitude of 0.8, meaning that the catch takes 80% of the hake available to the trawl. The methodology depends on careful area selection (flat bottom, homogenous fish distribution), following the same trawl lane during subsequent hauls in an area, and thorough acoustic post-processing. A pronounced and repetitive pattern in catchability within surface daylight hours was found. Early morning and early afternoon catches were low, and the best catches of the day were made around noon, a result that may influence stock assessments based on trawl data, because morning and afternoon data would under-represent actual abundance.  相似文献

Seasonal variation of oxygen deficiency in waters off southern South West Africa in 1975 and 1976 and its relation to the catchability and distribution of the Cape rock lobster Jasus lalandii     
《African Journal of Marine Science》2013,35(1):197-214
The major processes involved in the supply and removal of dissolved oxygen in the shelf region between 24 and 28°S are discussed in relation to the development of oxygen-deficient conditions. The area subject to this oxygen deficiency varies both seasonally and geographically. It is suggested that both the shallow distribution of rock lobster in this part of the Benguela Current system and the periodically low catch per unit effort may be related to the onset of oxygen deficiency. Preliminary laboratory findings indicate that avoidance of oxygen-deficient areas by rock lobster might not be caused solely by the lack of oxygen per se, but by the co-existence at low oxygen concentrations of toxic reduced compounds such as hydrogen sulphide.  相似文献

从1986~2002年闽南-台湾浅滩渔场29组灯光围网信息船渔捞日志中提取了鲐鲹鱼类多年月平均的渔获量数据,按单位捕捞努力量的渔获量(CPUE)<1.0 t/网次、1.0 ≤CPUE<2.0 t/网次、CPUE≥2.0 t/网次3个量级,计算其出现的网格数(GN),同时以CPUE为权重计算渔场面积指数(AI).结果表明:台湾海峡南部鲐鲹鱼类资源分布的逐月变化特征显著,不同量级的CPUE出现面积的逐月变化各不相同,高资源密度出现最大面积的时间为3月和8~9月;AI值逐月变化的空间差异显著,8月大陆沿岸区出现最高的AI值(1.10),台湾浅滩区年平均的AI值为最高(0.70).  相似文献
