Reproductive patterns and populations characteristics of 5 deep-water pandalid shrimp species of the genus Plesionika (Decapoda: Caridea) were studied between 150 and 1100 m depth in the Western Mediterranean Sea over the period 1991 to 1994, including monthly samples taken from November 1992 to October 1993. With the aim of establishing interspecific relationships among reproductive biology an...

Phylogenetic relationships among all described species (total of 5 taxa) of the shrimp genus Penaeus, were examined with nucleotide sequence data from portions of mitochondrial gene and cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI). There are twelve commercial shrimp in the Iranian coastal waters. The reconstruction of the evolution phylogeny of these species is crucial in revealing stock identity that ca...

The shrimp fishery is one of the most important fisheries in the world, although the low selectivity from trawling nets has led to the capture of a large number of non-target species. Shrimp-bycatch species include a large number of fish and invertebrate species, of which fish species are the most abundant. The present study aims to determine the community structure as well as the average sizes...

Feed-food competition is the allocation of resources that can be used to feed humans animal instead, a current but unsustainable practise not well documented for aquaculture. Here, we analysed feed-food in aquaculture using two measures; natural trophic levels (TLs) and species-specific human-edible protein conversion ratios (HePCRs). The HePCR equals ratio human edible (input) produce (output)...

The performance of a square mesh panel (90 mm stretched mesh size) on reducing the catch of immature Psettodes erumei Bloch and Schneider, 1801 smaller than Lm50% value was tested in a small-scale shrimp-trawl fishery along Hormuzgan coasts in the The Persian Gulf. During shrimp season, 25 trawl hauls were carried out and a total of 371 P.erumei was caught in the codend and cover net. Length ra...

Several species of butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae) possess extremely elongate jaws, and feed mostly by probing the benthos and biting off pieces of attached invertebrates. In contrast, Forcipiger longirostris, the longest-jawed chaetodontid, exhibits a novel pattern of prey use, feeding almost exclusively on small caridean shrimp, a mobile and highly elusive prey type that lives within the str...

Tests of trawl footrope modifications to reduce the bycatch of eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus) and other small demersal fishes in the ocean shrimp (Pandalus jordani) trawl fishery The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife prohibits discrimination in all of its programs and services on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, sex or disability. If you believe that you have been discrim...
