Topic: Beaked salmon


  
  Beaked salmon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The beaked salmon (also beaked sandfish) are a type of long thin gonorynchiform ray-finned fish that live on sandy bottoms near shorelines.
The approximately five known species are all in the single genus Gonorynchus (sometimes spelled Gonorhynchus) of the family Gonorynchidae (sometimes spelled Gonorhynchidae).
Beaked salmons are fished commercially in some areas.

In the two noddy species, Beaked Salmon were dominant in the diet during the early part of the breeding season (Figure 7.1) but became less so as the season progressed.
Therefore, the considerable larval supplies of beaked salmon that becomes available to seabirds at the Houtman Abrolhos are from adults distributed locally and or to the south of the islands.
The importance of beaked salmon and goatfish is potentially relevant to trawling activities since these types of fish live on soft-substrate bottoms which are amenable to towed fishing gear.

Typically, the mean volume of Beaked Salmon and Hawaiian Bellowfish declined from 60% to 22% and from 10% to 2% respectively as the breeding season progressed.
Thus, on average, Beaked Salmon occur in higher volumes in the diets of these seabirds during the early portion of the breeding period.
Beaked Salmon, Hawaiian Bellowfish and Black-spotted Goatfish were all taken as larvae.

The Atlantic salmon is fished in the rivers and estuaries of a number of countries on both sides of the Atlantic.
Salmon at sea are taken largely by drift netting, and are taken along the coast upon their returns to their native rivers to breed by a number of gear types, especially fixed nets.
Salmon too should be mentioned particularly as it is still taken in traditional set net along coasts of Scotland and Scandinavia, where there is sometimes considerable antagonism between salmon fishermen and grey seals which frequently visit salmon nets, damaging gear and catch.

 Notes From the Field   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Severe El Ninos can cause salmon to lose their way back to their spawning streams and rivers and once they do get there the water levels might be too low for successful spawning because Pacific Northwest El Nino winters are dryer than normal years.
She said because when the salmon left the spawning streams four to five years ago and headed out to the ocean all of the conditions were good for long term survival with an eventual return to the rivers where they came from originally.
There is talk among state officials and conversation groups that some salmon runs could be dissimated this summer due to the dams that, instead of providing salmon escape spillways will use that water for generating electricity because of the low water levels behind the dams.

Consumers and environmentalists are concerned about farmed salmon yet heritable changes that have accumulated in farmed strains at the genetic level are largely unknown.
In new research published in the journal Molecular Ecology, researchers have found scientific evidence that farmed salmon have evolved genetically differently to wild salmon, therefore backing claims that any integration of farmed salmon back into the wild through escapees could have a negative impact on the health of wild salmon populations.
"The magnitude of the accumulated differences was of approximately 20% for 1.5% of the expressed genes in juvenile salmon.

 Brainstorms: Fernando Castro-Chavez: Intelligent Design to Generate Biodiversity
A short article from University of Massachusetts, http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/10/001020092437.htm reports on a fascinating study of a group of salmon introduced into Lake Washington in Seattle during the 1930's and 1940's that have now become two reproductively isolated groups.
For purposes of showing evidence for Darwinism, proponents must base their definition of species on the genome, and the genetic possibility of reproduction and continuity of a type.
I like this study probably because I have been familiar with it since it was released (I dissected the original paper somewhere or another) and it serves as a great example to show what evolution is not.
