Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Stomach Contents 2018-2023, southern Gulf of St. Lawrence
PURPOSE: This product serves a public facing webpage for the Canadian public to download Atlantic Bluefin Tuna stomach content data. DESCRIPTION: Metadata and stomach content from fish caught in the commercial fishery. SAMPLING METHODS: Stomachs were collected from Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (ABFT) caught from mid-August to late September over six years (2018–2023). Most samples originated from ABFT caught around the eastern end of Prince-Edward Island, which reflects the dominant ABFT fishing area, while a few samples were obtained from the Miscou/Baie-des-Chaleurs area in 2018 and 2019. Fish were measured to the nearest curved fork length (cm) and weighed to the nearest round weight (kg). Stomachs were obtained directly from harvesters or through a fish buyer and were stored at −20 ◦C before being processed in the laboratory. Stomachs identification numbers were cross-referenced with ABFT tag numbers recorded by fish provider in order to obtain logbook and port data (catch location, time, weight length, sex, gear, etc.) for each sample. Stomachs were thawed in the laboratory and the content was sorted and identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level. For each stomach, prey were weighed collectively as a taxonomic group and individually to the nearest 0.1 g. Dead bait used to capture ABFT, identified by cut marks, were recorded and weighed but excluded from the analysis. Live bait items cannot be identified from stomach content analyses. Only a few otoliths were found in 2018 and their degraded quality precluded performing ageing or species identification. Rare and small prey items such as algae and rocks were classified in the category “other”. Fish remains that could not be identified were classified in the category “Unidentified teleostei remains”. For 2019 to 2023, when stomach content items could not be visually identified and when tissue was available, tissue samples were collected and stored at −20 °C for DNA barcoding analysis. DNA extraction, mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 amplification, Sanger sequencing and species assignation were performed at the Plateforme d’Analyses Génomiques and Plateforme Bio-informatique of the Institut de Biologie Intégrative et des Systèmes (PAG-IBIS, Université Laval, Quebec city, QC, Canada, http://www.ibis.ulaval.ca/en/services-2/genomic-analysis-platform/). DNA was extracted from 20 mg of muscle tissue using the Omega Bio-tek E-Z-96 Tissue DNA Kit (Omega Bio-tek, Norcross GA, USA) following manufacturer instructions. The mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 region was amplified and sequenced as described in Hashemzadeh Segherloo et al., 2021). Sanger forward and reverse reads were analyzed independently using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool against non-redundant sequences to identify the top hit for each sequence. When samples could not be identified by a top hit sequence they were classified as “unidentifiable fish”. Prey items that were successfully identified using DNA barcoding were incorporated into the stomach content analysis database and used in all subsequent diet analyses (abundance, occurrence and weight). The weight of the items used in the database was the weight of the remains as they were, and not reconstructed weights calculated for a live animal of the species identified by the barcoding.

2016 SoE Marine Chapter - Case Study - Southern bluefin tuna
공공데이터포털
The Marine chapter of the 2016 State of the Environment (SoE) report incorporates multiple expert templates developed from streams of marine data. This metadata record describes the Case Study "Southern bluefin tuna". The full Case Study, including figures and tables (where provided), is attached to this record. Where available, the Data Stream(s) used to generate this Case Study are accessible through the "On-line Resources" section of this record. DESCRIPTION OF THE FOCUS OF THE CASE STUDY Southern bluefin tuna (SBT) are an important apex predator within Australia’s marine environment with juveniles seasonally aggregating in the Great Australian Bight during the summer, subadults and adults utilising southern and south-eastern waters primarily during the winter months and adults aggregating in an areas off the north western region of Australia primarily during the spring and summer months on the only spawning ground for the species. Southern bluefin tuna are a highly prized target species of international commercial and national recreational fisheries. Within Australian waters, a purse-seine fishery catches juvenile (2-4 yr old) SBT in the waters of the Great Australian Bight during the summer months, and is of significant value to the regional economy (~$150M annually). A longline fishery targeting large SBT off the eastern Australian seaboard during the winter months catches a smaller amount of Australia’s commercial allocation. ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE The SBT spawning biomass (a measure of the adult population) is estimated to have been depleted by fishing to a low fraction of its original size. The depleted nature of the stock has led to the listing of SBT as Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act and Critically Endangered by the IUCN. Unaccounted mortalities associated with discards, unreported catches and recreational catches of SBT can impact on achieving current stock rebuilding targets set by the CCSBT. DATA STREAM(S) USED IN CASE STUDY The case study is based on stock assessment information produced in annual reports of the Extended Scientific Committee and the Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna. Assessments are based on data relating to fishery catches, aerial surveys and close-kin mark recapture methods covering the spatial area of the Commission and a temporal period of 1951-2014.

Distribution and stomach contents of fishes in the northern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, 2020-2022
공공데이터포털
This data set includes count, location, and ancillary habitat data for fishes sampled in adjacent reaches of Georgiana Slough, Sacramento River, and Steamboat Slough in the northern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. It also includes data on the stomach contents of selected individual black basses (Micropterus). Fishes were sampled by boat electrofishing from approximately January-May, 2020-2022, plus gillnetting in 2020. Samples were collected under a stratified random sampling design. Gillnetting involved short duration (~60 minute) sets of monofilament experimental gill nets. Boat electrofishing involved either single or repeated passes along an individual 300 m shoreline transect. Stomach contents data are from fishes that were frozen whole immediately upon collection and later processed in a laboratory.

Likelihood of Presence of Bluefin Tuna in Area Response Planning Pilot Areas
공공데이터포털
Bluefin tuna landings are reported to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and stored in the Maritime Fishery Information System Database. This database was queried in January 2016 for all reported landings of Bluefin tuna in coastal Nova Scotia. Longline data was excluded due to location uncertainties associated with the gear. Bluefin tuna sightings are also reported opportunistically to the DFO Whale Sightings Database. The Coastal Oceanography and Ecosystem Research section considered these landings and sightings to estimate the presence of Bluefin tuna within the Area Response Plan areas. Bluefin tuna presence varies seasonally and this spatial information should be used in conjunction with temporal information. A version of this dataset was created for the National Environmental Emergency Center (NEEC) following their data model and is available for download in the Resources section.

Feeding and migration important areas for Blue whales in the Estuary and the Gulf of St. Lawrence and in the Atlantic Ocean
공공데이터포털
A modelling analysis conducted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) identified these areas as the most suitable habitat for Blue whales: Gulf of St. Lawrence, waters off the southern coast of Newfoundland, the region of Mecatina Trough, the Esquiman Channel and the continental shelf margin off Nova Scotia. They represent important areas for foraging, feeding and socializing for Blue whales. The sources of data used to determine these important areas (by the enclosing boxes method) and the annual and seasonal cycles of Blue whale travel patterns include, but are not limited to, radio and satellite telemetry, passive acoustic monitoring, line-transect aerial surveys, anecdotal reports of observations and modelling. This layer does not represent the general distribution of the Blue whale. Important areas have been identified by reviewing several sources of information and to the best of researchers' knowledge. Several information about Blue whales, their behaviour and habitat use are still unknown. Data is scarce in some areas during winter periods. Observation efforts mostly occur during the summer period, however, data sources can validate their presence during seasons when the observation effort is lower. The Mecatina trough region represents an important area based on historical and non-current data. The presence data per month refers strictly to the information available in the cited research document, and does not express the absence of the species outside the months when a presence was validated. The presented information is valid until the following research survey. Reference: Lesage, V., J.-F. Gosselin, J. W. Lawson, I. McQuinn, H. Moors-Murphy, S. Plourde, R. Sears. and Y. Simard. 2018.
