Patterns and trends in seabird bycatch in the pelagic longline fishery off South Africa     

DP Rollinson  RM Wanless  PG Ryan 《African Journal of Marine Science》2017,39(1):9-25

Both foreign and domestic pelagic longline fishing vessels operate in South Africa’s Exclusive Economic Zone and adjacent international waters where they kill hundreds of seabirds each year as bycatch. To update assessments of the impact of the pelagic longline fishery on seabirds off South Africa, information on necropsied seabirds and national fisheries observer bycatch records were summarised for 2006–2013. Foreign-flagged (Asian) vessels had 100% observer coverage throughout the study period, whereas only 6% of the fishing effort by South African-flagged vessels was observed (with no coverage in 2011–2013). Vessels with observers caught seabirds at a rate of 0.132 birds per 1 000 hooks, resulting in an estimated mortality of 2 851 individuals (356 per year) comprising 14 species. Extrapolation of the observed fishing sets to the unobserved fishing sets by the South African domestic longline fleet suggested that approximately 750 additional birds were likely killed during the study period, therefore a combined 450 birds were killed per year. White-chinned petrel Procellaria aequinoctialis was the most frequently killed species (66%), followed by ‘shy-type’ albatrosses Thalassarche cauta/steadi (21%), black-browed albatross T. melanophris (7%), Indian yellow-nosed albatross T. carteri (3%), and Cape gannet Morus capensis (2%). The seabird bycatch rates were lower than in 1998–2005. Nationality of the vessel, time of line-setting, moon phase, year, season, fishing area, and seabird bycatch mitigation measures all influenced seabird mortality. Concurrent with 100% observer coverage, significant reductions in the seabird bycatch rate occurred in the Asian fleet in the latter years of the study, and these rates now approximate the national target (0.05 birds per 1 000 hooks). However, seabird bycatch rates remained high in the South African fleet, where no observers were deployed during 2011–2013, highlighting the need for independent observer programmes in fisheries—a matter of global interest. Suggestions are made as to how seabird bycatch by pelagic longline fisheries off South Africa may be further reduced.  相似文献   

水温影响下的印度洋黄鳍金枪鱼亲体补充量关系模拟研究     

冯波  陈新军  西田勤 《广东海洋大学学报》2010,30(3):62-66

根据1960-2002年印度洋黄鳍金枪鱼亲体量-补充量(stock-recruitment,SR)及其表层水温资料,利用Ricker模型,水温分期Ricker模型和模糊逻辑Ricker模型,考察表层加权水温与黄鳍金枪鱼亲体量、补充量之间的关系。研究表明,模糊逻辑Ricker模型拟合效果最好,水温分期Ricker模型次之,均优于原始Ricker模型。水温分期Ricker模型中的暖水月补充量比冷水月大,在黄鳍金枪鱼资源量较低时,暖水条件更有利于种群的繁衍。模糊逻辑Ricker模型得出冷水月和暖水月条件下的极端估计,受水温等外界条件影响,黄鳍金枪鱼的补充量在两条SR曲线间波动。水温等环境条件的变化产生了不同于依赖于密度因素的种群动力过程,限制了原始Ricker模型对亲体补充量关系的描述。  相似文献

根据2001年6—10月在大西洋中部大洋性金枪鱼延绳钓作业中观测到的黄鳍金枪鱼的上钩钩号,应用悬链线钩深计算公式分别计算出各钩号的钩深;根据STD仪测得的温度、盐度的垂直分布以钩深为引数,查出该尾鱼捕获水深处的温、盐数据;根据黄鳍金枪鱼的取样数据,推算出各水层、各水温段、各盐度段的渔获率。渔获率最大的水层、水温段、盐度段为黄鳍金枪鱼的最适水层、水温段、盐度段;渔获率为前3位的水层、水温、盐度段为黄鳍金枪鱼活动较频繁的水层、水温段、盐度段。结果表明,在大西洋中部,黄鳍金枪鱼的最适水层为150．00—179．99m,最适水温段为13．00—13．99℃,最适盐度段为35．40—35．49;大西洋中部渔场黄鳍金枪鱼活动较频繁的水层为120．00—209．99m,水温段为12．00—14．99℃,盐度段为35．20—35．49。  相似文献

印度洋金枪鱼延绳钓渔业作为我国重要的远洋渔业之一，探究其渔场时空变动及与环境因子之间的关系十分必要。本文根据2016年1—6月收集的印度洋金枪鱼渔业生产数据，并结合卫星遥感获取的环境因子数据，运用ArcGIS和GAM模型分析了印度洋大眼金枪鱼和黄鳍金枪鱼渔场时空变动及与环境因子之间的关系。研究结果表明:大眼金枪鱼和黄鳍金枪鱼1—6月CPUE均呈现先减小后增加的趋势，4月均达最高值，分别为2.45尾/千钩和3.56尾/千钩，各月CPUE均存在显著性差异（P<0.001）；大眼金枪鱼和黄鳍金枪鱼渔场时空变动基本趋于一致，均为先向东北移动，后向西北移动，最后再向东北移动的趋势；GAM模型分析显示，大眼金枪鱼CPUE与模型因子的解释率为32.1%，纬度和250 m水深温度影响最显著，黄鳍金枪鱼CPUE与模型因子的解释率为37.2%，200 m水深温度影响最显著；协同分析表明，1—6月，印度洋金枪鱼延绳钓中心渔场分布于1°S~9.5°N，47°~64°E，且海表温度在29.3~30.8℃的海域。  相似文献   

Planning the use of fish for food security in the Pacific   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Johann D. Bell  Mecki Kronen  Aliti Vunisea  Warwick J. Nash  Gregory Keeble  Andreas Demmke  Scott Pontifex  Serge Andréfouët 《Marine Policy》2009

Fish is a mainstay of food security for Pacific island countries and territories (PICTs). Recent household income and expenditure surveys, and socio-economic surveys, demonstrate that subsistence fishing still provides the great majority of dietary animal protein in the region. Forecasts of the fish required in 2030 to meet recommended per capita fish consumption, or to maintain current consumption, indicate that even well-managed coastal fisheries will only be able to meet the demand in 6 of 22 PICTs. Governments of many PICTs will need to increase local access to tuna, and develop small-pond aquaculture, to provide food security. Diversifying the supply of fish will also make rural households in the Pacific more resilient to natural disasters, social and political instability, and the uncertainty of climate change.  相似文献   

Reproductive biology of yellowfin tuna T. albacares in the west-central Indian Ocean     

Guoping Zhu  Liuxiong Xu  Yingqi Zhou  Liming Song 《中国海洋大学学报(英文版)》2008,7(3):327-332

Survey of yellowfin tuna in the west-central Indian Ocean was conducted on board of Chinese longliners during 2003, 2004 and 2005, which is a part of Chinese Tuna Fishery Scientific Observer Program (CTFSOP). The reproductive biology has been investigated. A total of 1 023 samples are collected including 417 ovaries and 606 testes. Spawning activities of yellowfin tuna have been studied for both male and female from January to June. The data showed that the average monthly sex ratio is 0.59, and the minimum length at sexual maturity is 101 cm for female and 110 cm for male respectively. Length at 50% sexual maturity is estimated at 113.77 cm for female and 120.20 cm for male, whereas maturation rate is 0.066 cm⁻¹ for female and 0.091 cm⁻¹ for male. Sex ratio by length class indicates that the proportion of male is higher than female’s along with size increasing; for instance, in the group of the body length longer than 145 cm, some females have their body length from 145 to 160 cm and males have their body length at 160 cm and even longer. Statistically, yellowfin tuna has a significant seasonal reproduction.  相似文献   

金枪鱼(Thunnus sp.)胰腺酶解液对H2O2诱导的胰岛素瘤细胞(INS-1)氧化损伤的保护作用     

王小凤  申慧婷  孙小玲  于荣贤  刘兵  苏秀榕 《海洋与湖沼》2019,50(5):1146-1153

本文首先通过MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS技术,测定金枪鱼(Thunnus sp.)胰腺酶解液中的多肽组分及其丰度,确定GQPVR、GLPPK和EHER是其中的优势肽;再利用Discovery Studio平台中的反向找靶和分子对接模块,发现这些优势肽均可以与Keap1蛋白结合,推测其可能具有抗氧化活性;最后,利用细胞实验对酶解液的抗氧化活性进行验证,发现其对H2O2氧化损伤的胰岛素瘤细胞(INS-1)具有剂量依赖型保护效果,高剂量和低剂量酶解液处理后细胞活力较模型组显著提高,凋亡率从79.17%分别下降到43.2%(P0.01)和28.9%(P0.01);胰岛素的分泌量从3.65mIU/L分别增加到5.75mIU/L(P0.01)和4.95mIU/L(P0.01)。DiscoveryStudio的抗氧化功能预测和细胞学实验相结合的研究方法,为酶解液的功能组分鉴定提供了新的思路。  相似文献

为了解决远洋渔业中过度依赖经验而产生的盲目捕捞问题,结合海洋环境数据和历史产量数据对渔场进行有效分析,提出了一种基于径向基函数神经网络(Radial basis function neural network,RBFNN)的栖息地指数(HSI)预测方法,并将其应用于印度洋海域大眼金枪鱼(Thunnus obesus)栖息地指数的预测。在RBFNN训练过程中使用模糊C均值(Fuzzy c-means,FCM)聚类算法,在基于神经网络的规则提取过程中首次采用了和声搜索(Harmony search,HS)算法。实验研究表明,利用FCM改进后的RBFNN,均方误差(Mean square error,MSE)达到0.021 6。和声搜索由于算法简单,易于实现,能够应用于训练后的FCM-RBFNN提取分类规则,提取出的规则能够反映该渔业现状。  相似文献   

A limit reference point to prevent recruitment overfishing of Pacific bluefin tuna     

《Marine Policy》2017

Pacific bluefin tuna (PBF) (Thunnus orientalis) is commercially important in the North Pacific Ocean. Although its stock has been relatively low for decades, international discussions on a long-term management framework, including the definition of a limit reference point (LRP), have only recently started. This paper argues that an LRP for PBF could be developed by determining a biomass level that would prevent recruitment overfishing. First, it reviews the development of LRPs for various tuna species and demonstrates that most of these limits are not necessarily based on biological information on the respective species. Then, the current management of PBF is also reviewed as background information for considering an LRP for PBF. Finally, a variety of simple analyses of the stock–recruitment relationship of PBF are conducted to find a biomass level that would prevent recruitment overfishing—i.e. an LRP below which stocks should not fall. It is concluded that, for the first time to our knowledge, defining such an LRP for a tuna species is possible (about 30 thousand tonnes or 5% of estimated unfished spawning stock biomass in our calculation). Not only is the LRP based on actual experience, but also the logic behind it would be easier for stakeholders to understand than the theoretical LRPs used elsewhere. This LRP should be useful in future in more comprehensive management framework, such as one through management strategy evaluations, in which stakeholder involvement in decision-making is crucial.  相似文献
