demersal

Small-size fishes accounted for the majority of demersal fishes within hard (98% of all fish sampled), mixed (99%), and soft (79%) strata.

and Soviet EEZ's is being reduced, howeveer, other demersal species such as hoki, Macruronus novaezelandiae, and blue whiting, Micromesistius poutassou, as well as pelagic-species such as jack mackerel, Trachurus japonicus, and sardine, Sardinia melanostrichus, are also being used in surimi production (Table 3).

Nearly all industrial vessels based on Santa Catarina State are associated to one of these syndicates and they represent a significant part of the industrial double-rig fleet operating in southeastern-south region (i.e., 80.7%, 51.3%, and 74.0% of the total number of vessels licensed, respectively, to catch demersal fishes, pink and sea-bob shrimps).

It could start with pelagic species (anchovies, mackerel, bluefin tuna), for example, followed by demersal mixed fisheries, expanding the list of species covered from year to year, she explained.

We conclude that this technique provides a feasible method for inferring large-scale population structure for demersal fishes in high latitudes.

Pauly then discusses fisheries research and the demersal fisheries of Southeast Asia, K.

Overall, pelagic species such as mackerel (11.01 ton [km.sup.-2]), jack mackerel (15.4 ton [km.sup.-2]), sardine (26.9 ton [km.sup.-2]), anchovy (39.1 ton [km.sup.-2]), and mesopelagic fish (67.3 ton [km.sup.-2]) dominated the system (Table 2), representing 26% of [B.sub.T], while the combined biomass of demersal fish represented 0.1% of Bt.

The fishing effort of all demersal fishing activity in this area has been frozen pending the preparation of further scientific advice.

Abstract--Videotapes collected by the research submersible Jago in the Benguela ecosystem during spring 1997 were analyzed to determine demersal nekton assemblage composition, fish behavior, and microscale habitat association, and habitat selection.
