Industrial Farm Animals Consume 17 Percent of Wild-Caught Fish

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 12:15:17 -0000

Each year we feed 14 million tons of wild-caught fish (including anchovies, sardines, mackerel, and herring) to pigs and chickens around the globe. That amounts to 17 percent of all the wild fish we catch. Pigs and chickens eat double the amount of fish that Japan consumes annually and six times more seafood than the entire U.S. population eats each year.

Economic Valuation of Coral Reefs in the Caribbean | World Resources Institute

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 11:14:00 -0000

Coral reefs and mangroves are critical components of the marine environment. These biologically rich habitats provide important ecosystem services to local and regional economies, including tourism, shoreline protection, and fisheries. Coral reefs supply much of the sand for the region’s beautiful beaches, and draw divers and snorkelers to explore the diversity of marine life that they support. Stretching along great lengths of Caribbean coastline, reef and mangrove ecosystems also provide a natural barrier that protects the land from the worst ravages of tropical storms. As reefs and mangroves degrade and disappear, these services are diminished, resulting in economic losses to coastal communities.

Observatory - Seeking Mate, Male Fish Throws Rivals Off Scent - NYTimes.com

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 11:52:49 -0000

As described in Current Biology, male mollies choose one female if they are alone, but alter their choice to a less-preferable female if another male is around. Because males are known to copy the mate choices of other males, the behavior suggests that the fish try to deceive rivals by steering them away from their preferred mates.

For Aquariums, the Small Fry Swept North Become a Big Catch - NYTimes.com

Fishing season has begun in northern waters, not for prize tuna or marlin, but for tropical fish small enough to fit on an angler’s fingertip. Luckily, the fishermen here are seeking neither trophies nor dinner.

Somos muchos los convencidos de que la creación de un Estado palestino independiente que reconociese a Israel sería clave para resolver muchos de los conflictos entre los países ribereños del Mediterráneo.

The Lionfish Info Sheet: Captive Care and Home Husbandry by Frank Marini, Ph.D. - Reefkeeping.com

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:23:34 -0000

Lions and triggers and eels…oh my! Nothing embodies both the beauty and danger of the oceans more than lionfish. Not only are they astonishingly beautiful with their gracefully flowing fins, dramatic colorations, cautious movements, and fish-gulping mouths, but they're equipped with venomous spines capable of delivering painful stings upon an unwary hobbyist. In spite of all this bravado, lionfish are peaceful, extremely hardy and disease-resistant tank inhabitants that are well suited for the intermediate saltwater hobbyist.

CCFHR: Lionfish invader of the U.S. Atlantic Coast

Native to the sub–tropical and tropical Indo–Pacific region, lionfish (Pterois volitans and Pterois miles) are often kept in both public and private aquariums.

Lionfish, Lionfish Profile, Facts, Information, Photos, Pictures, Sounds, Habitats, Reports, News - National Geographic

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:20:29 -0000

Pretty much everything about the venomous lionfish—its red-and-white zebra stripes, long, showy pectoral fins, and generally cantankerous demeanor—says, "Don't touch!"

The venom of the lionfish, delivered via an array of up to 18 needle-like dorsal fins, is purely defensive. It relies on camouflage and lightning-fast reflexes to capture prey, mainly fish and shrimp. A sting from a lionfish is extremely painful to humans and can cause nausea and breathing difficulties, but is rarely fatal.

Lionfish, also called turkey fish, dragon fish and scorpion fish, are native to the reefs and rocky crevices of the Indo-Pacific, although they've found their way to warm ocean habitats worldwide.

SpringerLink - Journal Article

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:16:45 -0000

Abstract Less than a decade after being observed off Florida, the invasive Indo-Pacific lionfish is now widely distributed off the southeast coast of the United States. As a step towards measuring invasion impacts to native communities, we examine the magnitude and extent of this invasion by first, compiling reports of lionfish to provide range information and second, estimate lionfish abundance from two separate studies. We also estimate native grouper (epinepheline serranids) abundance to better assess and compare lionfish abundances. In the first study we conducted SCUBA diver visual transect surveys at 17 different locations off the North Carolina coast in water depths of 35–50 m. In the second study, we conducted 27 Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) transect surveys at five locations from Florida to North Carolina in water depths of 50–100 m. In both studies, lionfish were found to be second in abundance only to scamp (Mycteroperca phenax). Lionfish were found in higher abundance in the shallower North Carolina SCUBA surveys ( ha−1) than in the deep water ROV surveys ( ha−1). Lionfish reports continue to expand most recently into the Bahamas, raising the specter of further spread into the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. The potential impacts of lionfish to native communities are likely to be through direct predation, competition and overcrowding. The high number of lionfish present in the ecosystem increases the potential for cascading impacts throughout the food chain. Within the southeast region the combined effects of climate change, overfishing and invasive species may have irreversible consequences to native communities in this region.

The invasion of predatory lionfish in the Caribbean region poses yet another major threat there to coral reef ecosystems - a new study has found that within a short period after the entry of lionfish into an area, the survival of other reef fishes is slashed by about 80 percent.
