	Capelin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The capelin (Mallotus villosus Müller 1776) is a small fish of the smelt family found in the Arctic Ocean in large quantities.
		Whales, seals, cod and seabirds all prey on capelin in particular during the spawning season of the capelin while it migrates southwards.
		Capelin is essential as the key food of the Atlantic cod.

		Capelin (Mallotus villosus) tridimensional distribution at the head of the Laurentian Channel in the St. Lawrence estuary was investigated using 38- and 120-kHz acoustic surveys in the summers of 1994, 1995, 1997, and 1998.
		Capelin tidal dynamics is characterized by herding of capelin against the channel head slopes by the starting flooding currents, followed by an upwelling over the sills and shallows during maximum flood currents, and a return to the channel by the surface outflow during ebb.
		Capelin (Mallotus villosus) (N=760) and herring (Clupea harengus) (N=165) were collected in the St. Lawrence estuary during the summer of 1994 and 1995 to examine the importance of pelagic fish in transmission of Anisakis simplex to cetaceans.

		Capelin schools near the surface and close to shore are easily identified by their gray-blue color, well-defined shapes, and movements.
		The capelin fishery was very small in 1994 and did not open in 1995 due to the high proportion of small females in the spawning biomass which did not meet Japanese market expectations for large females.
		A typical pattern of increasing area of capelin schools during the spawning season in coastal waters is shown for the transect in Trinity Bay for July 7-19, 1994 (Figures 5 and 6).

		While the distribution of young capelin is not well defined, the distribution and migration patterns of adults are better known and spawning stocks of capelin have been identified.
		Capelin have been documented as a food for many commercially important species and probably are eaten by many other species as well.
		The fishery fleet followed the capelin as they moved to their spawning grounds; however, because the foreign vessels were not allowed in Canadian waters, they followed the Southeast Shoal capelin stock to its spawning grounds where the fishery on spawning capelin continued into July.

	USS Capelin (SS-289) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		USS Capelin (SS-289), a Gato-class submarine, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the capelin, a small fish of the smelt family.
		Capelin returned to Darwin, Australia, with a defective conning tower hatch mechanism, excessively noisy bow planes, and a defective radar tube.
		These flaws were corrected, and Capelin put out on her second war patrol 17 November 1943, in the Molukka Sea and Celebes Sea, and she was to pay particular attention to Kaoe Bay, Morotai Strait, Davao Gulf, and trade routes in the vicinity of Siaoe Island, Sangi Island, Talaud Islands and Sarangani Island.

	Capelin
		The capelin exhibits a pronounced sexual dimorphism; the male has much the longer pectoral fins; and the base of his anal is elevated on a pronounced hump, whereas it follows the general outline of the belly in the female.
		The capelin is transparent olive to bottle green above, like a smelt, but its sides are uniformly silvery below the lateral line and the scales are dotted at the margins with minute dusky specks (in the smelt there is a distinct silvery band on each side); the belly is white.
		Capelin are most in evidence during the spawning season, when they come inshore in multitudes along arctic-subarctic coasts.

	NEWFOUNDLAND CAPELIN
		Capelin (traditional Newfoundland spelling 'caplin') are the most important forage species in the Northwest Atlantic providing a vital link in the food chain between plankton and larger animals.
		Capelin are a cold water, pelagic, schooling species inhabiting Arctic and sub-Arctic seas in the Atlantic and the Pacific.
		Biologists believe that the spawning area was a beach during the last ice age and the capelin continued to use the area after the sea levels rose to their present height.

		Pollock and capelin echosign spatial patterns will be explored with variography and by comparison of other descriptive parameter estimates of the fish aggregations to evaluate whether the scale of patchiness changed during the study period.
		Pollock and capelin are prevalent members of the coastal pelagic community whose relative abundance is associated with climate variability, and these fishes are particularly relevant to current issues involving sustainable fisheries and endangered Steller sea lions.

	PROCEEDINGS OF THE EXPERT CONSULTATION TO EXAMINE CHANGES IN ABUNDANCE AND SPECIES COMPOSITION OF NERITIC FISH RESOURCES
		Although capelin seldom grow larger than 20 cm in size and are short lived (3-5 years) their biomass in certain areas may reach millions of tonnes.
		The tagging of adult capelin was, on the other hand, successful and results of estimates of the 1979 spawning stock abundance from the returns were on a similar level as those obtained by the acoustic method.
		Since most of the capelin spawn only once and die thereafter the main management objective is to prevent the spawning stock from being fished to the level of reduced recruitment, not to mention recruitment failure.

		Capelin and their eggs were eaten extensively by haddock, Melanogrammus aeglefinus, on the Southeast Shoal of the Grand Bank during times when haddock were plentiful in the area.
		The emergence of capelin larvae from the beach gravel, and the onset of larval drift, is episodic and closely correlated with the occurrence of onshore winds.
		Capelin larvae are mainly concentrated in the upper 50 m during the summer in eastern Canada and move to slightly deeper water in September as the surface waters cool.

	THE ROLE OF CAPELIN
		f plankton are the main crop in the ocean, capelin are the main grazers.
		Because the extent and the timing of cod migration, capelin migration and the warming of the bottom change from year to year, it can be misleading to compare one snapshot to another.
		For example, capelin have normally left Division 2J before the annual groundfish survey reaches that area, so it is not surprising that cod stomachs are less full by the time the surveys gets to Hamilton Bank.

		Predation by young herring on capelin larvae is regarded as the main cause of the recruitment failure of capelin in the Barents Sea.
		As capelin are the key species of the LME, the collapse of the stock caused food shortages for higher trophic level populations such as cod, harp seals, and guillemots.
		Capelin is a plankton feeder and migrates on a large scale to exploit the plankton productivity of the northern Barents Sea, trailing the retreating ice with a time delay (see Sakshaug and Skjoldal, 1989).
