The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services Department of Public Health 250 Washington Street, Boston, MA 02108-4619 JANE SWIFT Governor WILLIAM D. O'LEARY Secretary HOWARD K. KOH, MD, MPH Commissioner For Immediate Release: July 24, 2001 CONTACT: Roseanne Pawelec MDPH Issues New Consumer Advisories On Fish Consumption and Mercury Contamination Boston, MA - The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is issuing a new statewide fish consumption advisory in response to growing information and concerns about mercury contamination. MDPH is advising pregnant women, women of childbearing age who may become pregnant, nursing mothers and children under 12 years of age to refrain from eating the following marine fish; shark, swordfish, king mackerel, tuna steak and tilefish. In addition, MDPH is expanding its previously issued statewide fish consumption advisory which cautioned pregnant women to avoid eating fish from all freshwater bodies due to concerns about mercury contamination, to now include women of childbearing age who may become pregnant, nursing mothers and children under 12 years of age. Finally, MDPH is recommending that pregnant women, women of childbearing age who may become pregnant, nursing mothers and children under 12 years of age limit their consumption of fish not covered by existing advisories to no more than 12 ounces (or about 2 meals) of cooked or uncooked fish per week. This recommendation includes canned tuna, the consumption of which should be limited to 2 cans per week. Very small children, including toddlers, should eat less. Consumers may wish to choose to eat light tuna rather than white or chunk white tuna, the latter of which may have higher levels of mercury.

Research outcomes Media Release Reef chorus strikes a chord with baby fish April The symphony of snapping shrimps, clicking crabs, and drumming fish is music to the ears of fish larvae in search of a new reef to call home. Sound is instrumental in attracting fish larvae to reefs on which to settle according to research played out by an international ensemble of scientists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science, the University of Edinburgh, National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NZ), Curtin University of Technology and the University of Auckland. The research, published in the prestigious "Science" journal today (April 8), has shown for the first time that reef fish not only locate settlement sites using reef sounds but also discriminate between sounds. Australian Institute of Marine Science fish ecologist Dr Mark Meekan said the underwater melody of snaps, crackles, pops and hoots is a powerful navigation tool for juvenile reef fish to find their way home.

Current News Sea Grant Fishermen, Scuba Divers, Scientists Collaborate in California Fishery Survey FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 8, 2004 Collaboration between fishery managers, scientists, and fishermen is an effective way to learn more about the stocks of fish living in nearshore kelp habitats, California Sea Grant researchers are finding. In fall 2003, divers used scuba survey techniques and fishermen used different gear types (rod and reel, handlines, traps, and sticks) in Carmel Bay to observe, count, and measure fish. An important part of the project was that all fishermen and scientists got together several times to discuss and agree on project goals and study design to ensure that the results would be useful for fishery management. The California Marine Life Management Act requires the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) to develop plans for managing fisheries based on scientific information about characteristics of species caught in commercial and recreational fisheries. Because data are lacking about species caught in nearshore fisheries, scientists typically try to fill the gaps from logbooks, landing tickets, dockside observation, and sampling. Over the past few years, CDFG biologists have developed protocols for estimating fish density in nearshore areas using scuba surveys. Although the data are still being analyzed, the study showed that estimating relative abundance of each species depends on the type of fishing gear and the sampling method used. For example, china rockfish were caught by fishermen but not observed by divers. Conversely, painted greenling were observed but not caught. Fishermen caught more cabezon than divers saw, but divers saw more kelp greenling than fishermen caught. It is expected that this collaborative survey approach will improve fishery management.

Photo: CRC Reef Ear-bones, parasitic worms and DNA will be used to fish for evidence about grey mackerel populations in the tropical waters of northern Australia, as part of a new $1.9 million research project co-ordinated by CRC Reef Research Centre and funded by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation. Scientists suspect that there may be several different populations of grey mackerel in northern waters, and that they may even migrate long distances from Queensland to Northern Territory waters. The commercial and recreational catch of grey mackerel in the Gulf of Carpentaria is growing, and fisheries managers are worried that without more information to manage the fishery sustainably it could experience a dramatic fall in catch. With the help of commercial fishers, who will be providing the researchers with access to their mackerel catch, three techniques will be trialled to find out how groups of grey mackerel interact. DNA extracted from the fins of the fish will help find long-term population differences in grey mackerel. Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries will analyse genetic markers to discover whether there are genetically separate populations of grey mackerel in northern Australia.

Morocco Economy - Development Norwegian industry to exploit Sahrawi fish resources afrol News , 12 July Norwegian officials are in the process of promoting Norwegian investments in the booming fisheries industry in Moroccan-occupied Western Sahara, despite protests by Sahrawi officials. The fisheries industry is the dominant economic sector in the territory, promoting new Moroccan settlements here. Norwegian capital and knowledge is to help this development. According to information made available to afrol News, the Norwegian Ambassador in Morocco, Arne Aasheim last week was on a three-day visit to El Aaiun, the capital of the Western Sahara territory. Here, he had meetings with the Moroccan authorities governing the occupied territory and representatives of the fisheries sector. Sources wanting to remain anonymous told afrol News that the primary focus in these meetings was on how Norwegian companies could strengthen their foothold in the booming Moroccan fisheries industry, which mainly is based in the occupied territory. Morocco has been singled out as a golden opportunity for Norway's many companies operating in the fisheries sector.
