ABSTRACT Light can be used to deter bycatch from fishing nets, but few studies have aimed to quantify how species view and respond to light. Here, we used visual models to predict how target (plaice Pleuronectes platessa) and bycatch (small‐spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicular and undersized skates, Raja spp) species, captured in mixed demersal ...

Government-Industry Cooperative Fisheries Research in the North Pacific under the MSFCMA [PDF]
The National Marine Fisheries Service’s Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) has a long and successful history of conducting research in cooperation with the fishing industry. Many of the AFSC’s annual resource assessment surveys are carried out aboard

Inter-rater reliability of categorical versus continuous scoring of fish vitality : does it affect the utility of the reflex action mortality predictor (RAMP) approach? [PDF]
Scoring reflex responsiveness and injury of aquatic organisms has gained popularity as predictors of discard survival. Given this method relies upon the individual interpretation of scoring criteria, an evaluation of its robustness is done here to test ...

ABSTRACT Shore‐based observers are increasingly being used in place of at‐sea observers to monitor and sample commercial fisheries catch. However, few evaluations assess whether these programs meet their stated goals or how to optimize them, and industry data are rarely tested for accuracy despite serving as the foundation for catch accounting. Using a

Novel Antimicrobial Peptides Derived from Flatfish Genes [PDF]
ABSTRACT We report on the identification of active novel antimicrobials determined by screening both the genomic information and the mRNA transcripts from a number of different flatfish for sequences encoding antimicrobial peptides, predicting the sequences of active peptides from the genetic information, producing the predicted ...

Bioinspired flatfish detection using electrical impedance measurements
Abstract Bottom trawling for flatfish by means of tickler chains has a high ecological impact due to the continuous seabed disturbance, low selectivity and high fuel costs. This issue could be significantly mitigated by using localized startle stimuli, triggered by a detection system that selectively targets flatfishes of landable size ...

Taurine Supplementation to Plant-Based Diets Improves Lipid Metabolism in Senegalese Sole
Taurine is a sulphur-containing amino acid with important physiological roles and a key compound for the synthesis of bile salts, which are essential for the emulsion and absorption of dietary lipids.

ABSTRACT Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) is a deep‐water flatfish which lives at temperatures of 1°C–4°C and produces large eggs (> 3 mm). The combination of low temperatures and large eggs has resulted in an unusual ovary development cycle, with vitellogenesis taking more than 1 year.

Dietary Cholesterol Differentially Regulates the Muscle Lipidomics of Farmed Turbot and Tiger Puffer
Exogenous cholesterol has been supplemented into aqua-feeds due to the reduced proportions of fishmeal and fish oil. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary cholesterol supplementation on the muscle lipidomics of two marine fish species ...
