RESEARCH PROJECTS 22 Aquaculture and Fisheries THE LIFE HISTORY, ECOLOGY AND DYNAMICS OF THE BLACK SCABBARD (APHANOPUS CARBO) IN THE DEEP WATER ECOSYSTEM OF THE NORTH EAST ATLANTIC Research Centre/Department/School: AFDC, School of Biological, Earth & Environmental Science Contact PI: Dr Emer Rogan (e.rogan@ucc.ie) Researchers: MS Ana Santos Start Year: 2008 End Year: 2012 Funding Body: Marine Institute Funding: €115,000 Collaborating Partners: Marine Institute Web: http://afdc.ucc.ie In the deep waters to the west of Ireland, landings from commercial fishing operations increased over the period 1973 to the late 1990’s. This was driven by the decline of traditional shelf fisheries and the greatly improved technology of vessels that allowed fishing in depths of up to 1,200 meters. Black scabbard (Aphanopus carbo) form an important part of both the mixed and directed fisheries of the north east Atlantic. Landings reached 9,100 tonnes in 2002, but declined to 3,500 tonnes in 2005. Black scabbard is poorly understood in terms of its life history, ecology and dynamics. It has a wide distribution in the north east Atlantic between 200 and 1,600 m, but there is very little objective information available on the stock structure of the species. Distribution of the species has led to the hypothesis of a single stock but this remains uncertain (Anon. 2006b). There is still controversy on the ageing of black scabbard fish. Published ageing estimates used whole otoliths, and indicate maximum ages of 8 years (Moralis-Nin and Sena-Carvahlo; 1996). However, unpublished work carried out at the Marine Institute in the late 1990’s, suggest that they are much longer lived (up to 22 years). This has major implication for understanding the dynamics of the species (Anon. 2006a; 2006b). This project will increase our understanding of one of the most common and widely dispersed species. This new knowledge will inform the establishment of an ecosystem approach to deep water fisheries management. KEY PUBLICATIONS & OUTPUTS Ribeiro Santos, A., Connolly, P. & Rogan, E.
