Abstract:

Data on hake (Merluccius capensis and Merluccius paradoxus) abundance along the Namibian coast showed both species to have strongly aggregated spatial distributions. In addition, average fish size increased with depth, suggesting that the formation of hake aggregation is based on size-dependent shoaling behaviour. Hake spacing was size dependent with areal fish density and biomass being scaled to the −5 and −2 power, respectively, of fish length. The equations describing the size dependence of the areal fish density were log density (fish∙m−2) = 5.06-4.91 log size (cm) for M. capensis and log density (fish∙m−2) = 5.28-4.74 log size (cm) for (M. paradoxus). The maximum areal densities, presumably corresponding to those within the shoals, exceeded those described by the equations above by 20- and 13-fold for M. capensis and M. paradoxus, respectively. The size dependence of hake spacing implies that fishing pressure targeting aggregates of small hake (i.e. shallow shoals) should have a disproportionate effect on fish mortality and recruitment compared with similar fishing pressure targeting aggregates of larger hake (i.e. deep shoals).

Abstract:

This study describes the 5S rRNA gene as a simple and reliable one-step PCR-based genetic marker that allows unambiguous identification of Merluccius paradoxus, Merluccius senegalensis, Merluccius australis, Merluccius gayi, Merluccius bilinearis, Merluccius hubbsi, and Macruronus magellanicus. The marker is based on differences in length at the nontranscribed spacer within the 5S rRNA genes and is robust enough for identification of processed products, such as fish fingers and other precooked commercial hake. Further restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis at the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene can distinguish Merluccius merluccius and Merluccius capensis. The application of these markers for routine works such as surveys of quality and labeling of commercial hakes is suggested due to their accuracy, low price, and possible automation for large-scale surveys.

Abstract:

Numbers of bacteria associated with Cape hake from catching through processing to the finished product and final spoilage were determined by pour plating on Sea Water Agar (SWA). Subsequently, a total of 1,020 predominant bacteria from the different stages were isolated and identified to genus level. A significant reduction (p<0.05) in bacterial numbers after the first wash during processing ashore and a significant increase (p<0.05) after day 3 of refrigerated storage of final product were observed. No significant differences in bacterial numbers between the different stages onboard the trawler or during processing ashore were apparent. Psychrotrophic bacteria from predominantly four genera, namely Moraxella, Pseudomonas, Corynebacterium and Micrococcus, were isolated in this study. The relative proportions of these organisms was found to change only to a small extent during the chilled processing chain, with the genus Moraxella (46 to 57%) predominating. After several days of refrigerated storage, however, the relative proportion of Pseudomonas increased (from 34 to 90%) leaving this genus predominating in spoiled product.

Abstract Grote, B., Ekau, W., Stenevik, E. K., Clemmesen, C., Verheye, H. M., Lipinski, M. R., and Hagen, W. 2012. Characteristics of survivors: growth and nutritional condition of early stages of the hake species Merluccius paradoxus and M. capensis in the southern Benguela ecosystem. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 69: 553–562. Larval mortality in marine fish is strongly linked to characteristic traits such as growth and condition, but the variability in these traits is poorly understood. We tried to identify the variability in growth in relation to conditions leading to greater survival chances for early stages of Cape hake, Merluccius paradoxus and M. capensis, in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem. During two cruises in 2007 and one cruise in 2008, hake larvae and juveniles were caught. Otolith microstructures revealed a larval age ranging from 2 to 29 days post-hatching (dph), whereas juvenile age was 67–152 dph. RNA:DNA ratios, used to evaluate nutritional condition, were above the relevant threshold level for growth. No strong coupling between growth and condition was detected, indicating a complex relationship between these factors in the southern Benguela ecosystem. Merluccius paradoxus juveniles caught in 2007 (the surviving larvae of 2006) had significantly higher larval growth rates than larvae hatched in 2007 and 2008, possibly indicating selection for fast growth in 2006. High selection pressure on growth could be linked to predation avoidance, including cannibalism.

Abstract:

Morphological variation in the sagittal otoliths of six species of the genus Merluccius was compared. The outlines of the otoliths were broken down numerically and classified according to numerical taxonomic methods. The results of this classification indicated that the specific characters of the sagittae emerge with individual growth, so that the otoliths from small individuals of various species exhibit plesiomorphic characters and are quite similar to one another. The otoliths from individuals longer than 20 cm can be classified into two geographic and phylogenetic groups: a Euro-African group (M. merluccius, M. capensis, and M. paradoxus) with plesiomorphic features, and an American group (M. bilinearis, M. productus, and M. gayi).

Abstract:

Defining the trophic relationships of marine predators and their dietary preferences is essential in understanding their role and importance in ecosystems. Here we used stable isotope analysis of skin samples (δ15N values reflecting trophic level and δ13C values reflecting foraging habitat) to investigate resource partitioning and spatial differences of the feeding ecology of dusky dolphins Lagenorhynchus obscurus and Heaviside’s dolphins Cephalorhynchus heavisidii from 2 coastal study sites separated by 400 km along the coast of central (Walvis Bay) and southern (Lüderitz) Namibia in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem. Overall, isotopic niches of both predators were significantly different, indicating partitioning of resources and foraging habitats. Despite their smaller body size, Heaviside’s dolphins fed at a significantly higher trophic level than dusky dolphins. Stable isotope mixing models revealed that both species fed on high trophic level prey (i.e. large Merluccius spp., large Sufflogobius bibarbatus, and Trachurus t. capensis) at Walvis Bay. The diet of both dolphin species included smaller pelagic fish and squid at Lüderitz. Spatial differences highlight that Heaviside’s and dusky dolphins may exhibit dietary plasticity driven by prey availability, and that they likely form distinct population segments. Important prey for both dolphin species, specifically Merluccius spp. and T. t. capensis, are the main target of trawl fisheries in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem, highlighting potential resource overlap between dolphins and fisheries.

Abstract:

A split-beam echo-sounder was used to estimate in situ acoustic target strengths (TS) of fish from a number of different fish communities on the South African continental shelf. The TS and size distributions (obtained by aimed trawling) were used to describe the size structure and vertical distribution of these communities. TS distributions obtained from several monospecific populations of juvenile Cape hake (Merluccius capensis), the dominant species present, were self-consistent, and there was good correspondence between modes in the TS and length distributions of juvenile hake, adult round herring (Etrumeus whiteheadi), anchovy (Engraulis capensis) recruits, pelagic goby (Sufflogobius bibarbatus), horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus capensis), and ribbon fish (Lepidopus caudatus). Average TS values for all these species, both per individual and normalized by weight, are presented and compared with published values. The use of TS information in studies of the small-scale community structure and dynamics of fish populations is discussed. It is concluded that the method can be effective on low-density, multispecific assemblages such as those in our study, avoiding many of the pitfalls of conventional net sampling.

Full text

Abstract:

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase 1A (CYP1A) is induced by several planar toxic compounds, for example, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and the induction of this protein is often measured in terms of CYP1A-mediated 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity. This study was aimed at developing this assay in the Cape hake species Merluccius capensis and Merluccius paradoxus (considered one stock). Microsomal fractions were obtained from frozen fish liver samples by differential centrifugation. Fluorimetric and spectrophotometric analysis of the EROD assay resulted in the spectrophotometric (at 572 nm) detection method being selected, as this method resulted in a lower degree of variability and demonstrated higher reproducibility. The activity in the EROD assay was enhanced in the presence of NADPH, and the addition of dicumarol (phase II enzyme inhibitor) to the reaction mixtures prevented the underestimation of this assay by the inhibition of DT-diaphorase. In summary, an EROD assay was established for use in Cape hake species.

Abstract:

Vacuum packed hake muscle subjected to 400 MPa (three 5-min cycles) at 7 °C proved to be more stable at chilled temperatures (2-3 °C), and sensorially acceptable, until 43 days of storage in comparison with the nine days for the non-pressurized hake. The lot pressurized at 400 MPa had the appearance of cooked muscle. The microbial load was initially reduced by two log units by pressurization at 400 MPa. Trimethylamine nitrogen (TMA-N) values were also very low. Pressurization had no effect on dimethylamine nitrogen (DMA-N) production. The lot pressurized at 400 MPa showed slower increase in drip loss from day 15 of storage. In the lot subjected to 200 MPa (three 5-min cycles) at 7 °C, which retained the appearance of raw fish, microorganisms were one log unit lower than in the non-pressurized sample and TMA-N was lower. In conclusion, the chilled shelf life was prolonged by about one week in the lot pressurized at 200 MPa and about two weeks in the lot pressurized at 400 MPa.

Abstract Wilhelm, M. R., Roux, J-P., Moloney, C. L., and Jarre, A. 2013. Data from fur seal scats reveal when Namibian Merluccius capensis are hatched and how fast they grow. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 70: . Scat samples were collected regularly at several breeding colonies of Cape fur seals along the Namibian coast. Merluccius capensis otoliths were obtained from these samples, identified, and measured. Cohorts were easily distinguishable using otolith length measurements converted to fish total length. Growth rates of 2- to 21-month-old hake and hatch dates for each of 15 cohorts were estimated from September 1994 to October 2009 (1994–2008 cohorts) using a Schnute growth function and a non-linear mixed-effects model. The function describing growth of these young hake was length Lt (cm) at age t (years) Lt = 3.17 + (25.0 − 3.17) × [1 − e−0.665 × (t − 0.140)]/[1 − e−0.665 × (1.74–0.140)]. Cohort-specific random effects showed a population hatch date estimate of 31 July (austral winter), varying by 94 days among cohorts, from 31 May (1996 cohort) to 1 September (2004 cohort). The mean growth rate from ages 6 to 12 months was 1.26 cm month−1 for the population, ranging between 0.97 cm month−1 (1996 cohort) and 1.38 cm month−1 (2004 cohort). As this rate is almost double the previously estimated value, which is currently used in the stock assessment models, this result may have major implications for the current stock assessment results and the management of the stock. Re-examination of growth rates needs to be extended to older fish.

Abstract:

Management of the Cape hake (Merluccius capensis) stock off the coasts of Angola and Namibia has been based on surplus production modeling, which incorporates an assumption of constant catchability. Results of least-squares catch-at-age analysis and virtual population analysis were used to estimate catchability from 1968 to 1986. Estimated catchability was either relatively constant or gradually increasing from 1968 to 1978, but fluctuated considerably between about 1979 and 1983. The fluctuations may have been due to an inverse relationship between catchability and abundance or to environmental factors affecting fish distribution. The period of highest estimated catchability corresponded to the period of lowest estimated abundance and below-average water temperatures. If management is based on the assumption of constant catchability but catchability is inversely related to abundance, the risk of overfishing will be greatest when the stock is at the lowest levels. Future assessments should place increased reliance on survey data or incorporate an appropriate model of catchability changes.

Abstract Attwood, C. G., Petersen, S. L., and Kerwath, S. E. 2011. Bycatch in South Africa's inshore trawl fishery as determined from observer records. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 2163–2174. Ship-based observer data were analysed to describe the volume, composition, utilization, and size structure of catches made by South Africa's inshore trawlers. The sampling rate was 3.5% of all trawls, including unsorted and discard samples. In all, 137 nominal species were recorded. Analysis of species composition separated the trawling grounds into seven areas, providing a framework for stratifying the ground for catch estimation and for selection of representative areas for conservation. The target species, Merluccius capensis and Austroglossus pectoralis, made up 58% of the pre-discard catch. Trachurus trachurus, Pterogymnus laniarius, Raja spp., and Chelidonichthys spp. constituted another 23%. Pre-discard catch volumes of the entire fleet were estimated. The average annual pre-discard catch of M. capensis and A. pectoralis was 9653 and 504 t, respectively, closely matching landing statistics. Argyrosomus inodorus, Rhabdosargus globiceps, Argyrozona argyrozona, and Atractoscion aequidens averaged 294, 230, 107, and 83 t annually, respectively, indicating significant overlap with the handline fishery for A. inodorus and A. argyrozona. A comparison of species composition in unsorted and discard samples revealed the species being preferentially retained. Argyrosomus inodorus and A. aequidens were trawled mainly below their size at maturity. Management needs to consider other species when determining catch or effort limits and area restrictions.

Abstract:

A new species of myxosporean parasite is described from the gall bladders of the hakes Merluccius capensis Castelnau and M. paradoxus Franca (Pisces: Teleostei) caught off the west and south coasts of South Africa. The new species, Pseudalataspora vanderlingeni, is described morphologically and molecularly and compared with the 15 other species of Pseudalataspora previously described from marine fish. Although a molecular description is available on GenBank for only one of these 15 species, the morphological description supports the status of P. vanderlingeni as a new species. Earlier reports, without detailed descriptions, of Leptotheca sp. and Ceratomyxa sp. from the same hosts caught off Namibia were very likely to have been of P. vanderlingeni. These earlier studies reported high prevalences of infection, similar to those of >60% described in the present study. The effects of fixation and freezing on the dimensions of spores of Pseudalataspora spp. are described, and the status of the genus Pseudalataspora within the family Ceratomyxidae is discussed.

Abstract:

State-space models are commonly used to incorporate process and observation errors in analysis of fisheries time series. A gap in analysis methods has been the lack of classical likelihood methods for nonlinear state-space models. We evaluate a method that uses weighted kernel density estimates of Bayesian posterior samples to estimate likelihoods (Monte Carlo Kernel Likelihoods, MCKL). Classical likelihoods require integration over the state-space, and we compare MCKL to the widely used errors-in-variables (EV) method, which estimates states jointly with parameters by maximizing a nonintegrated likelihood. For a simulated, linear, autoregressive model and a Schaefer model fit to cape hake (Merluccius capensis × M. paradoxus) data, classical likelihoods outperform EV likelihoods, which give asymptotically biased parameter estimates and inaccurate confidence regions. Our results on the importance of integrated state-space likelihoods also support the value of Bayesian analysis with Monte Carlo posterior integration. Both approaches provide valuable insights and can be used complementarily. Previously, Bayesian analysis was the only option for incorporating process and observation errors with complex nonlinear models. The MCKL method provides a classical approach for such models, so that choice of analysis approach need not depend on model complexity.

Abstract:

Abstract We present a statistical method for intercalibration of fishery surveys methods, i.e. determining the difference in catchability and size selectivity of two methods, such as trawl gears or vessels, based on data from paired fishing operations. The model estimates the selectivity ratios in each length class by modelling the size distribution of the underlying population at each station and the size-structured clustering of fish at small temporal and spatial scales. The model allows for overdispersion and correlation between catch counts in neighbouring size classes. This is obtained by assuming Poisson-distributed catch numbers conditional on unobserved log-Gaussian variables, i.e. the catch is modelled using log-Gaussian Cox processes. We apply the method to catches of hake (Merluccius paradoxus and M. capensis) in 341 paired trawl hauls performed by two different vessels, viz. the RV Dr Fridtjof Nansen and the FV Blue Sea, operating off the coast of Namibia. The results demonstrate that it is feasible to estimate the selectivity ratio in each size class, and to test statistically the hypothesis that the selectivity is independent of size or species. For the specific case, we find that differences between size classes and species are statistically significant.
