“…Andromous Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus is considered a species of 'special concern' with regard to risk of extinction in Canada (Musick et al, 2000). The A. oxyrinchus oxyrinchus caught (and released) in Williams Harbour Run was likely a young adult (juvenile characteristics are retained up to a total length of 122 cm; Scott & Scott, 1988).…”

The fish fauna of Gilbert Bay, Labrador: a marine protected area in the Canadian subarctic coastal zoneThe Marine Protected Area in Gilbert Bay, Labrador is the first established in the subarctic coastal zone of eastern Canada. A standardized survey of the fish fauna of Gilbert Bay was initiated during the ice-free season of 2004 to provide baseline information on the fish present in water less than 15 m deep. Beach seines and gill-nets sampled three management zones within the bay which are afforded different levels of protection from human activity. The 25 species in 15 families recorded belong to five ecological guilds: (1) estuarine and marine fish resident in the bay; (2) anadromous species transiting the bay; (3) marine species which migrate into the bay to spawn; (4) offshore-spawning marine fish for which the bay is a nursery area; and (5) marine species which occasionally migrate into the bay to feed. Gilbert Bay lies in a transition zone between Arctic and coldtemperate biogeographical provinces, and its fish fauna is dissimilar from a cold-temperate fish assemblage described for Trinity Bay in eastern Newfoundland.

Visceral Nodular Cartilaginous Metaplasia in Rockfishes (Sebastes Spp.) in the Eastern North Pacific Ocean

et al. 2002

Abstract. Multiple, discrete, nodular foci of cartilaginous metaplasia were found in the spleens and kidneys of rockfishes taken from the northeastern Pacific Ocean during a survey to determine the incidence and the nature of diseases in these animals. These nodules sometimes occurred in association with granulomatous inflammation and distinct granulomas. Many of these fish were infected by Ichythophonus spp. or acid-fact bacteria (presumably Mycobacteria spp.). Some of the metaplastic foci contained encapsulated accumulations of eosinophilic vesicles and basophilic granular debris, described by other authors as ''cysts of unknown etiology,'' which have been observed at different sites in a variety of temperate and tropical fish species.

“…Bull Rays are especially susceptible to over-fishing because they frequently forage in nearshore environments and may aggregate in small schools (SECK et al, 2002;SERENA, 2005). The consequences of coastal overfishing on large-bodied elasmobranchs may be catastrophic due to their distinct biological characteristics (long-lived species, low productivity, close stock-recruitment relationships and slow stock recovery in the event of over-fishing) (MUSICK et al, 2001). Elasmobranchs, taken as by-catch in fisheries targeting other species, could be extirpated long before appropriate management policies could be implemented (BONFIL, 1994;WALKER, 1998;CASTRO et al, 1999).…”
