Worldwide status of burbot and conservation measures

Although burbot ( Lota lota Gadidae) are widespread and abundant throughout much of their natural range, there are many populations that have been extirpated, endangered or are in serious decline. Due in part to the species' lack of popularity as a game and commercial fish, few regions consider burbot in management plans. We review the worldwide population status of burbot and synthesize reasons why some burbot populations are endangered or declining, some burbot populations have recovered and some burbot populations do not recover despite management measures. Burbot have been extirpated in much of Western Europe and the United Kingdom and are threatened or endangered in much of North America and Eurasia. Pollution and habitat change, particularly the effects of dams, appear to be the main causes for declines in riverine burbot populations. Pollution and the adverse effects of invasive species appear to be the main reasons for declines in lacustrine populations. Warmer water temperatures, due either to discharge from dams or climate change, have been noted in declining burbot populations at the southern extent of their range. Currently, fishing pressure does not appear to be limiting burbot populations world-wide. We suggest mitigation measures for burbot population recovery, particularly those impacted by dams and invasive species.     

基于生活史特征的数据有限条件下渔业资源评估方法比较

渔业资源评估是开展渔业资源管理,维系渔业可持续发展的基础工作。传统的渔业资源评估方法需要统计产量、资源丰度指数甚至年龄结构等大量数据,由于调查经费和数据的缺乏,全球仅1%的鱼种进行过系统性的资源评估。近年来,在数据有限(data-limited)条件下如何开展资源评估已日益成为学术界的关注热点。本文将基于生活史特征的评估方法分为仅需要生活史参数,需要产量数据和生活史参数,需要产量数据、生活史参数及体长或年龄数据等3大类,分别从方法、数据要求、输出结果及局限性进行了系统回顾分析,提供了关于生活史特征参数的常见估算方法,并就其中两种模型对北大西洋大青鲨(Prionace glauca)的可持续渔获量进行了初步评估与比较。最后,对数据缺乏模型的使用及模型在中国近海渔业资源评估中的运用提出了建议。     

多波束渔用声呐作用距离预报建模及性能分析

多波束渔用声呐是海洋渔业实现高效、精准和选择性捕捞的重要工具。为了系统分析多波束渔用声呐探测性能及主要制约因素对作用距离的影响,针对圆柱形阵多波束渔用声呐,采用水声学系统仿真的方法,分别对主要为噪声和混响环境下的渔用声呐探测性能进行分析,对不同海况下噪声不同目标强度鱼群的探测性能进行比较,分析窄带系统和宽带系统降低混响的能力,并对噪声和混响混叠环境下的渔用声呐探测性能进行仿真分析;最终,从系统设计、发射方式、接收方式等多个角度提出提高渔用声呐探测性能的方法,为远距离、高分辨率多波束渔用声呐的研制提供改进的方向。     

Using acoustic telemetry and snorkel surveys to study diel activity and seasonal migration of round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) in an estuary of the Western Baltic Sea

In just two decades, round goby Neogobius melanostomus (Pallas) has dispersed throughout most of the Baltic and the North American Great Lakes. It thrives in shallow sheltered areas, where it is impacting native fauna. In Denmark, researchers, governmental institutions and fishers have joined in an effort to establish a sustainable round goby fishery. To do so, basic information about the movement of round goby is essential, so the movements of 50 round gobies were tracked using acoustic telemetry. The results revealed that activity took place mainly at night and seasonal migrations were common. The most frequent migration behaviour observed was a seaward return migration during winter, which was further confirmed by a snorkel survey. Tracking data also revealed riverine upstream dispersal. The results demonstrate that the round goby can be mapped using telemetry, and it is suggested that fishing for round goby may improve efficiency by targeting seasonal migration corridors.     

马鞍列岛及其东部海域鱼类群落格局与环境因子之间的关系

为探究岛礁海域渔业资源群落格局,于2016年8月、12月及2017年2月和5月对马鞍列岛及其东部海域进行了渔业资源季度调查。利用聚类分析、非度量多维标度(nMDS)和生物环境相关分析(BIOENV)等方法,对该海域的鱼类群落组成、时空动态及其与环境因子的相关性进行了研究。共采集鱼类96种,隶属于12目47科77属,其中鲈形目占比最大,其生物量和丰度占比均超过50%。龙头鱼为全年优势种,春季优势种包括刺鲳、黑鳃梅童鱼和宽体舌鳎;夏季优势种为小黄鱼、带鱼和六丝矛尾虾虎鱼;秋季和冬季优势种相同,为棘头梅童鱼和凤鲚。聚类分析和nMDS结果显示,马鞍列岛及其东部海域鱼类群落可分为站位组I (岛礁周围站点为主)、站位组II (邻近岛礁站点为主)和站位组III (远离岛礁站点为主)。除春季站位组I与站位组III、站位组II与站位组III外,鱼类群落种类组成在各季节不同站位组之间皆存在显著差异。BIOENV分析显示,在底层水温、底层盐度和水深3个因素中,底层水温对鱼类群落影响最大。     

西藏渔业资源现状、存在问题及保护对策

西藏自治区是中国平均海拔最高、河流数量最多、湖泊面积最大的省区,也是西南重要安全屏障,战略地位尤为凸显。近年来,西藏雅鲁藏布江等重点水域受到外来物种入侵、过度捕捞、水电工程建设等人类活动影响,渔业资源出现衰退趋势。本团队在西藏拉萨、山南、林芝、日喀则等主要城市重点走访调研西藏渔业产业规模、渔业资源和设施装备建设现状,在雅鲁藏布江流域开展实地渔业资源环境科学考察,分析梳理西藏渔业产业、渔政队伍建设和渔业基础设施装备现状面临的主要问题及其影响因素,以期为了解西藏渔业产业发展和渔业资源现状提供必要的数据支撑,为有关部门制定涉及西藏渔业资源环境相关政策法规提供参考。     

延长拖网伏季休渔期的渔业资源养护效应

海洋伏季休渔制度是当前中国最主要的渔业资源管理制度之一,并在实践中得到不断调整与完善,新的海洋伏季休渔制度已于2017年发布实施。为论证新制度延长拖网休渔期的渔业资源养护效应,本研究依据2015—2017年每年5月东海区拖网大面定点调查资料,利用Ricker动态综合模型,从拖网的渔获结构特征和带鱼(Trichiurus japonicus)的种群动力学过程视角开展了相应的量化分析研究。研究结果表明, 5月拖网利用主体为带鱼和小黄鱼(Larimichthys polyactis),带鱼和小黄鱼的性成熟比例分别为92.04%～95.57%和13.82%～29.55%,幼鱼比例分别为74.94%～88.90%和0.03%～4.19%;带鱼种群经过4.5个月的休渔,其单位补充量资源量、单位补充量渔获量和平均渔获质量与3.5个月休渔期相比较,分别增加了7.04%、8.96%和20.78%。以上结果表明,提前并延长拖网休渔期,东、黄海主要经济渔业资源带鱼与小黄鱼的产卵群体和幼鱼得到进一步保护,资源增殖效果随着休渔期的不断延长而增加,新制度的休渔时间设置更趋合理。但由于开捕后的带鱼与小黄鱼渔获仍主要以当龄鱼为主,有必要同时配套执行现已颁布的最小网目尺寸和开捕标准等其他渔业资源管理措施,以确保伏季休渔制度主导下的渔业资源养护效果能真正得到巩固,渔业资源的种群结构能够得到切实好转与不断合理化。     

人工鱼礁对防城港海域小型岩礁性鱼类诱集效果研究

为探究人工鱼礁聚鱼效果,于 2017 年 2 月、4 月、9 月和 11 月主要通过声学探测技术,对防城港海域渔业资源密度、空间分布与大小组成进行了调查研究。结果显示,防城港人工鱼礁区及其临近海域 4 次调查共捕获各类游泳生物和底栖无脊椎动物 201 种,包括鱼类 126 种、蟹类 32 种、虾类 20 种、虾蛄类 11 种和头足类 12 种。双因素方差分析结果表明,调查海域渔业资源密度在时空层面上均存在显著性差异(P<0.001),且交互作用显著(P<0.001)。2 月调查海域人工鱼礁区渔业资源密度(547745 ind/n mile2)约为其周边海域(203990 ind/n mile2)的 2.68倍,表现出明显的聚鱼效果。其中,二长棘鲷(Parargyrops edita)、多齿蛇鲻(Saurida tumbil)、花斑蛇鲻(Sauridaundosquamis)等岩礁性底层鱼类为该季度主要优势种类。各航次人工鱼礁区小型个体所占比重较高,其平均目标强度(TS)分别为 55.6 dB(2 月)、 54.5 dB(4 月)、 53.6 dB(9 月)和 52.2 dB(11 月),随个体生长其平均 TS 呈稳步增大的变化趋势。在垂直方向上, 2 月和 4 月航次人工鱼礁区 90%以上回波单体主要分布在 9~16 m 中下水层。上述研究结果表明,人工鱼礁建设对防城港海域小型岩礁性鱼类表现出明显的向底层诱集的效果,该结果能为海洋牧场生态效应系统评价提供重要支撑。

Spatial segregation of striped marlin (Kajikia audax) by size in the eastern Pacific Ocean

Striped marlin (Kajikia audax) is an epipelagic fish distributed in oceanic and coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean. This species is usually found in warm and coastal waters with high primary productivity. The main goal of this study was to describe the spatial segregation of striped marlin by average Eye‐Fork length (EFL) in the eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) and its relationship with environmental variables using EFL data obtained from tuna purse‐seining and Generalized Additive Models (GAMs). The model suggested that larger individuals of striped marlin were more likely to be found in waters with high Chlorophyll‐a concentration (>2 mg/m³) and with temperatures lower than 25°C, within a region known as the “cold tongue” and the Humboldt current system, while smaller individuals were more likely to be found in warmer and low productive areas within a region known as the “warm pool of the EPO.” We observed that set type caused a large variation on average EFL of striped marlin; larger fish were captured in sets associated with floating objects (natural and manmade), while smaller fish were captured in sets associated with dolphins. Despite this, our findings suggest that striped marlin has a latitudinal gradient in average EFL; larger individuals occurred predominantly south of 10°N, while smaller ones occurred predominantly in coastal waters between 10°N and 20°N, thus demonstrating a spatial segregation of the species affected by its maturity stage.
