the redfin pickerel ( esox americanus americanus ) is a subspecies of freshwater fish belonging to the pike family ( esocidae ) of the order esociformes .

not to be confused with its close relatives , the grass pickerel and the chain pickerel , this fish is unique in the fact that it has brightly colored red fins .

like all pikes , the redfin pickerel is an ambush predator , lying amongst thick vegetation in wait for smaller , more agile prey to enter within its range of attack .

redfin pickerel - esox americanus , is a species of freshwater fish in the pike family esocidae . it is also known as : grass pickerel , mud pickerel , little pickerel , banded pickerel , redfinned pike and barred pickerel . the redfin pickerel is an atlantic coast form , its range extending from new york south to eastern drainages in georgia and all the way down to the gulf of mexico .

chain pickerel the redfin pickerel , however , has a shorter snout and a black bar below the eye that angles slightly towards the rear .
do not stock redfin pickerel together with any fish less than 1 / 3 of the pickerel ' s body length . redfin pickerel will not do well with very active or aggressive fish ; such a combination often results in the pickerel becoming ragged as well as barely eating for lack of opportunities .
the redfin pickerel also known as grass pickerel , little pickerel , and barred pickerel is a very popular for they active fighting sport fish even it is a very small size . redfin pickerel hit well in the winter months , and even through the ice . pickerel will savagely attack schools of baitfish , or individuals , whatever is the easiest prey at the time . the best locations for redfin pickerel in the winter is along points , with drop - offs near deeper water , and areas that contain some underwater cover and vegetation nearby .
recreational fishing is common throughout the lower river . this redfin pickerel is one of many fishes caught by this fisherman .
) . grass pickerel and redfin pickerel are distributed from the st . lawrence river drainage in southern canada and the finger lakes southward to lake okeechobee , florida . grass pickerel mainly exist west of the appalachian mountain chain , along the mississippi river regions . redfin pickerel exist mainly east along the atlantic slope . grass pickerel replace redfin pickerel in the drainages of the gulf of mexico , the mississippi river , and in ontario . grass pickerel were introduced to idaho , colorado , utah , washington , western pennsylvania , maryland , western new york , and potentially even wisconsin ( cosewic , 2005 ) .
the reddish tinted fins will usually , but not always distinguish the redfin pickerel from its larger cousin , the chain pickerel . also note the backward slanting black bar beneath the eye . in the chain pickerel this bar would be vertical .
grass pickerel are known in nature to hybridize with redfin pickerel , chain pickerel , and northern pike ( serns and mcknight 1977 , schwartz 1962 , schwartz 1981 ) . artificial hybrids between muskellunge and grass pickerel lived at least 18 months ( tenant and billy 1963 , crossman and buss 1965 ) .
habitat . grass and redfin pickerel inhabit quiet or small lakes and swamps , bays and backwaters , and sluggish pools of streams . both prefer heavy vegetation in clear waters , but the grass pickerel favors waters with neutral to basic acidity , and the redfin inhabits comparatively acidic waters .
life history : redfin pickerel are the smallest member of the pike family , attaining a maximum length of about 12 inches . redfin pickerel spawn in early spring by laying strings of eggs over vegetation or submerged branches in shallow water . its prey consists of invertebrates and small fish . redfin pickerel appear to be well adapted to living in headwater stream habitat and have been captured in surprisingly small streams with very low flow .
grass pickerel have a higher egg count than redfin pickerel . according to crossman ( 1962 ) , of 10 3 - 4 - year - old redfin pickerel females sampled , the average primary egg count was 269 . 4 with a range of 186 - 542 , and the total egg count was estimated at 3716 . 2 with a range of 722 - 4364 ( crossman , 1962 ) . a single redfin pickerel was compared to a grass pickerel of similar size and the egg count varied significantly . the redfin had 186 primary , or mature eggs , with a total egg count of 3 , 672 while the grass pickerel had 803 and 15 , 732 respectively ( crossman , 1962 ) .
grass and redfin pickerel reach sexual maturity as early as age one when the males are at least 188mm in total length and females are 109mm total length . the pickerel are usually able to spawn by age 2 .
like all pike , the redfin pickerel is an ambush predator . this lifestyle dictates much of its tank and feeding requirements . as an ambush predator , under normal circumstances , it will not chase food around a tank . pickerel prefer to lay very still amidst some cover and wait for food to pass by it . redfin pickerel will barely breath to achieve full effect .
life history / behavior . reaching sexual maturity when they are roughly 2 years old and at least 5 inches long , grass and redfin pickerel spawn in the late fall , the early winter , or the spring ; grass pickerel require water temperatures between 36° and 54°f , and redfin favor waters approaching 50°f . spawning takes place in heavily vegetated , shallow areas , and the backs of the fish appear at the surface as they scatter eggs in small batches over the vegetation . grass pickerel may produce twice as many eggs as do redfin pickerel . they do not build nests . the grass pickerel ' s eggs hatch in 11 to 15 days , the redfin pickerel ' s in 12 to 1 4 days , without the protection of the parents .

the redfin pickerel is the eastern half of the esox americanus subspecies twins . the other is northwest pennsylvania’s grass pickerel ( esox americanus vermiculatus ) . the redfin’s native range is along the atlantic coast from massachusetts to florida . in the gulf coast and southeast states , it mixes and interbreeds with the grass pickerel . the redfin is a common small pickerel in the delaware river watershed in pennsylvania . it is found rarely in the susquehanna river watershed . in pennsylvania , there is no natural overlap in the geographic distribution of these subspecies .
of a pound in weight ; the redfin pickerel generally grows faster and slightly longer than the grass pickerel . the alltackle world record for the grass pickerel is a 1 - pound indiana fish ; for the redfin pickerel , the record is a 1 - pound , 15 - ounce new york fish . they can live up to 8 years , although they usually live 5 years or less . females live longer and grow larger than males .
younger grass and redfin pickerel diets vary from the diet of adult pickerel . until they are about 50 mm in size , juveniles primarily rely on small crustaceans , like cladocerans or amphipods , and aquatic insects for food .
one of the most distinctive characteristics identifying young redfin pickerel is a silvery - green stripe spanning the region from the tip of the snout to the base of the caudal fin . also , their fins are not fully red , only the tips of their fins contain any red pigmentation . juvenile redfin pickerel are typically between 10 - 20mm in length at the time of hatching and grow rapidly . scales do not appear on young redfin pickerel until they are at least 50mm .
description : redfin pickerel look similar to the chain pickerel , except smaller , with a more blunt snout and an olive to yellowish green coloration compared to the deeper green color of the chain pickerel . its most distinctive features are its reddish colored fins and a backwards slanting black vertical bar beneath the eye .
piscivorous , but will eat other live foods such as grubs and insects . it is extremely difficult to achieve a diet of artificial food with redfin pickerel or pikes altogether .
the redfin pickerel is the smallest member of the pike family . they have dark , vertical barring on sides . the opercle is fully scaled and there is a forward slashing

the grass pickerel ( esox americanus vermiculatus ) is a subspecies of the redfin pickerel and a small member of the pike family ( esocidae ) . in addition to the distinguishing family features ( large mouth ; many teeth ; forked tail ; and posterior dorsal and anal fins ) , the grass pickerel has the following characteristics :
these pickerel are scrappy fighters , but their small size limits their popularity as sport fish . they can be caught on minnows , streamers , small spinners , spoons and plugs . redfin pickerel are a lot of fun to catch on light spinning tackle .
the grass pickerel subspecies could be mistaken for the redfin , if their ranges were not so distinct . the grass pickerel is distributed throughout the mississippi river watershed . the redfin is an east coast fish . where their ranges cross along the gulf coast , from louisiana to florida , the two small pickerel interbreed . in pennsylvania , grass pickerel are found in northwestern pennsylvania , in both the lake erie and allegheny river watersheds , especially where the land has been glaciated . the grass pickerel’s subspecies name “ vermiculatus ” means “wormlike , ” describing the wavy markings on the fish’s sides .
) if they are found in the same geographic area . grass and redfin pickerel have a lateral line system , which is a sensory canal system made up of pores and sensory organs . this is useful in detecting water pressure / movement changes . grass and redfin pickerel use ram style ambush when capturing prey . this means that the pickerel move towards their prey by propelling themselves forward , at first slowly , then curving their bodies to help propel themselves at the fastest acceleration they can reach .
you may feed your pickerel 0 - 2x / day depending on selected diet . pickerel typically need a brief
warm - up
period before they begin to feed .
conservation / management : although redfin pickerel are relatively common in southern new england , populations in new hampshire are limited to the southeastern corner of new hampshire where aquatic habitats are rapidly becoming degraded due to increasing development pressure .
species of the family esocidae are usually the top predators in their environments . grass and redfin pickerel are cannibalistic at times and can be predators to themselves . though they are rarely caught for sport fishing purposes , humans (
breeding season february - march and for grass pickerel , possibly again in august - november .
locally almost all species of north american esocids are present . northern pike , chain pickerel , grass pickerel , redfin pickerel , and even muskellunge are found in lake champlain . the northern pike and the chain pickerel are very abundant where the other pickerel are common . the muskellunge is present but not nearly as common as the other species . pikes are considered game fish by many , but the pickerel because of its smaller size is not widely sought after . as a fisherman of many years on the lakes and ponds of northern vermont i would definitely attest to the belief that the pikes are an exciting and vicious predator in the aquatic world of lakes , rivers , and ponds .
habitat : the redfin pickerel prefers shallow weedy backwaters in stands of aquatic vegetation or thick overhanging grasses and shrubs . it is often found in smaller watersheds than the chain pickerel . in new hampshire it is frequently found in streams flowing through abandoned beaver ponds in very small watersheds that may dry up in some years .
redfin pickerel inhabit the weedy shallows of slow - moving streams , as well as lakes and ponds . although they are usually found over a soft , mud bottom , redfin pickerel prefer the water itself to be clear . they can live in naturally acidic water , like that which flows from the tannicstained bogs in pennsylvania’s northeast region . they can tolerate swampy waters with low oxygen content and brackish waters , where fresh water and ocean salt water mix .
redfin pickerel spawn in spring , when the water temperature reaches about 50 degrees . the sticky eggs are randomly broadcast in the shallows over underwater vegetation and other organic debris . the eggs , which hatch in about two weeks , receive no parental care . unlike larger pikes , the redfin does not include fish as a primary part of its diet . instead , it feeds on small crustaceans , crayfish , aquatic insects and other invertebrates . the small size of redfin pickerel , as well as their restricted shallow - water habitat , may be why so few fish are on their menu .
pickerel occur naturally only in eastern n america . the group consists of 2 species : esox niger , chain pickerel ; e . americanus , divisible into 2 forms , redfin pickerel , which grows to 35 cm , and the slightly smaller grass pickerel . in canada , 1 or more species occur in limited portions of the country from southern ns to ontario , inhabiting smaller , warm waters ( eg , ponds , small streams , bays of lakes ) . only the chain pickerel , growing to about 50 cm long and 1 . 4 kg , is of any consequence as a sport fish .

redfin pickerel lives in lowland streams , bays and ponds with thick vegetation , and it is known in eight atlantic slope watersheds plus champlain . this small pickerel is not known to have overlapping range with its close relative , grass pickerel . it is likely to be non native to the few higher elevation waters of the adirondacks where it has been caught . the distributional range and abundance has grown in the lower hudson watershed .
• pike is the mainly referred name while pickerel is used to refer certain species of esox .
chain pickerel spawn in early spring , when water temperatures are in the high 40s to low 50s . the spawning period lasts about one week . chain pickerel are also reported to spawn in the fall , but the survival rate of eggs and young is suspected to be low . the sticky eggs , 6 , 000 to 8 , 000 typically deposited by each female , are scattered over underwater weeds . chain pickerel have been known to hybridize in the wild with redfin pickerel , because their spawning site choices and breeding times overlap .
grass and redfin pickerel are not notable gamefish due to their small size , but are sometimes caught on accident by game fisherman . if pickerel are caught and not thrown back , they can be eaten as food . according to sternberg ( 1987 ) , their meat is described as white , flaky , and sweet - tasting but bony .
) , move between 40m - 75m per hour in the spring , 15m - 40m in the summer , and 26m - 55m in the fall . there has been no documentation of a home range for grass and redfin pickerel , but it is likely that they travel in a similar seasonal pattern . grass and redfin pickerel are mostly sedentary when not in spawning season , when they will migrate to other areas , and only travel in response to water level changes or to feed .
according to crossman ( 1962 ) , the growth of newly hatched grass or redfin pickerel is relatively rapid . the fry hatch with no scales , an unsegmented spinal chord , and a notochord that spans to the tip of the rounded caudal fin . once the fry reach approximately 30mm their vertebrae begin to segment and the urostyle begins to develop . by 20mm , their lateral lines have developed . the pickerels ' scales appear when they are approximately 50mm and form behind the head and pelvic area . once the pickerel have reached 65mm they become fully scaled and their caudal fin becomes completely formed and forked , and the urostyle is completely developed and spine completely segmented . grass pickerel grow faster than redfin pickerel , which grow 25 - 35mm a year . like most fish , pickerel exhibit indeterminate growth .
a management plan for the grass pickerel was published in 2012 . it provides a summary of current knowledge , identifies threats to the species and its habitat and recommends measures to maintain and improve grass pickerel populations .
grass and redfin pickerel spawn in the late winter to early spring months , with grass pickerels occasionally spawning a second time in the late summer to early winter months . spawning occurs in heavily vegetated floodplains , swamps , and tributary streams that are sometimes so shallow ( less than 30 . 5cm ) , that the male and female pickerel are out of the water .
grass and redfin pickerel are piscivorous , meaning they eat other fish . the diet of grass pickerel 50 - 100mm consists mainly of small crustaceans and aquatic insects , such as members of the orders trichoptera ( caddisflies ) and odonata ( dragonflies and damselflies ) . their diet also includes crayfish and some fish , like sunfish ( family centrarchidae ) and fish of the genus
redfin pickerel are listed as a species of
least concern
on the iucn red list and have no special status on the federal endangered species list , through cites list , or on the state of michigan list . according to cosewic ( 2005 ) , grass pickerel were designated a species of special concern in canada in 2005 . major threats here include of loss of habitat from dredging and the deepening , or channelization , of wetland areas that the grass pickerel inhabit .
the grass pickerel is often mistaken for the young of northern pike and , less often , the muskellunge .
a management plan for the grass pickerel was published in june 2011 . it provides a summary of current knowledge , identifies threats to the species and its habitat and recommends measures to maintain and improve grass pickerel populations .
chain pickerel has a wide range of food preference such as small fishes , frogs , crabs , mice , crayfish , and many other aquatic animals . chain pickerel is larger than american pickerel with an average bodyweight of about three pounds and a length of about 54 centimetres . there is a characteristic chain - like colouration pattern on the greenish sides . overall , the pickerel species seem to be small versions of the pike fishes .

the torpedo - shaped redfin pickerel has numerous sharp teeth in a relatively pointed snout making it perfectly designed for its ambush–type feeding behavior . due to its small size , sport fishing for the species is limited primarily to coastal areas where the ideal habitat for growth exists .
pike are long , slender , “duck - billed” predator fish , popular with anglers for the great size some species attain and for their sporting fight . four species of the pike family live in the northern hemisphere . the grass pickerel and redfin pickerel ( the two are closely related subspecies ) , the chain pickerel , the northern pike and the muskellunge are native to north america and to pennsylvania . the northern pike is one of the few fish whose natural range includes both north america and eurasia .
female grass and redfin pickerel are polyandrous , meaning that they have more than one male mate . a group of one female pickerel and 1 - 3 male pickerel swim along , scattering fertilized eggs . the eggs and milt , or semen , are ejected from the respective fishes and mixed together by lashing their caudal fins . the fertilized eggs are spread over areas that are dense with aquatic vegetation and are usually closer to the shore than other members of the family esocidae , like the northern pike (
the pikes , pickerels , and muskellunge make up the small family esocidae in the order salmoniformes . the family consists of only five species , e . niger , e . americanus , and e . masquinongy , which are confined to north america , e . reicherti , which resides in siberia , and e . lucius which is found across the northern hemisphere ( smith 1985 ) . the esocids of north america are commonly called ; northern pike e . lucius , muskellunge ( or muskie ) e . masquinongy , chain pickerel e . niger , the redfin pickerel e . americanus americanus , and a subspecies of the redfin , the grass pickerel e . americanus verminiculus .
just - hatched chain pickerel fry attach themselves to plant stems during the absorption of the yolk sac . young chain pickerel eat aquatic insects and crustaceans , and are eaten by larger fish . as they grow , chain pickerel increasingly consume fish , which become the mainstay of their diet . at one year old , chain pickerel are about seven inches long . after four years , they are about 15 inches . their natural lifespan is eight to 10 years .
grass and redfin pickerel reach sexual maturity between ages 1 - 3 years old . they are some of the first fish to spawn , with the process occurring in the late winter to early spring ( february - april ) when water temperatures are drawing near 4 - 10 °c . grass pickerel occasionally spawn more than once a year with the second spawning season in the late summer - early winter ( august - november ) . on occasion , grass pickerel have been known to migrate to streams from lakes to spawn .

grass and redfin pickerel are diurnal , meaning they are most active and do most of their activities like feeding and spawning in the daytime . grass and redfin pickerel are relatively solitary fish , and interact little with other species beyond acts of predation . though pickerel are solitary , their larvae gather in nursery areas in weedy swamps . when not in spawning season , they are sedentary and do not travel very far daily , but they do migrate to other areas in order to spawn . they will travel out of their area to feed , or in response to water level changes , but this is not as frequent . this is how they become isolated or trapped in pools of water that are not part of the stream or channel . grass pickerel usually orient themselves with their head toward the shore or edge of the water .
the grass pickerel and the redfin pickerel are two nearly identical subspecies of esox americanus , differing only slightly in range . because they occur only in small populations and are of small size , they have little importance as sportfish , although they are significant predators in many waters of more prominent small sportfish . the white , sweet flesh of these members of the esocidae family is bony , but it has an excellent flavor .

food and feeding habits . grass and redfin pickerel are largely piscivorous , feeding mainly on other fish , such as minnows , although they occasionally eat aquatic insects , small crayfish , and frogs . they will remain virtually motionless among the vegetation for hours at a time , waiting to dart out and seize a potential meal .
the river has also lost its population of brook trout , fallfish and other species that depend upon flowing water . these fish cannot survive the low - flow problems of the river . the fish community is now dominated by three fish species that can tolerate warm , ponded conditions : redfin pickerel , american eel and pumpkinseed .
chain pickerel are the most abundant and widely distributed member of pennsylvania’s pike family . they are also the most often caught , biting the angler’s bait or lure readily . the chain pickerel’s original range was atlantic and gulf coast tributaries , but the fish has been introduced elsewhere . in pennsylvania , chain pickerel are restricted to the delaware , susquehanna and potomac river watersheds . they are most common in the glaciated pocono northeast .

among the most aggressive of all game fish , chain pickerel will eagerly attack any kind of lure , particularly those with plenty of action or flash . although pickerel don ' t have the following of the larger game fish species , their explosive strikes and powerful runs make them an exciting challenge on light tackle .
in the southeastern ozarks , this game fish ' s presence alternates with that of the chain pickerel , with one or the other predominating at any one locality .
distribution . in north america , grass pickerel range from the great lakes basin north to southern ontario in canada and to michigan , wisconsin , and nebraska ; they also occur in the mississippi river and gulf slope drainages west of the pascagoula river in mississippi to the brazos river in texas . redfin pickerel are found in atlantic slope drainages , from the st . lawrence river drainage in quebec to southern georgia ; they also occur in gulf slope drainages from the pascagoula river in mississippi to florida . populations for both species are generally small on a local level .
grass pickerel rarely grow over 12 inches long , so an adult grass pickerel could be mistaken for an immature northern pike or muskellunge , except for the scaling that covers its cheeks and gill covers . grass pickerel are usually not as distinctly marked as redfins , and they do not have a red tinge to their fins . the sides and back are greenish to grayish , and the flanks have lighter , dusky streaks that curve and tend to be vertical . the streaks may look like bars or just shadowy , wandering lines . grass pickerel have a black bar beneath the eyes , which trails slightly backward . the fins are amber or dusky with no markings .
hybridizes in nature with e . niger ( chain pickerel ; crossman 1980 ) . most similar to e . niger , from which it can be readily separated from as an adult on the basis of color pattern : irregular vertical bars compared to the reticulate or honey combed pattern markings on the flank of the chain pickerel ( ross 2001 ) .

redfin pickerels have 15 to 36 dark , wavy , vertical bars and reddish - orange lower fins . otherwise the coloration is similar to that of chain pickerels . there is a dark , backward - slanting bar below the eye . the snout is shorter and broader than that of a chain pickerel . normally there are 11 to 13 branchiosstegal rays on the underside of the lower jaw . the cheek and gill covers are completely scaled .
5 . habitat and range chain pickerel prefer water temperatures in the upper 70s , warmer than those favored by pike and muskies . the fish flourish in clear , weedy lakes , ponds and reservoirs and in slow - moving reaches of warm - water streams . they spend most of their time in shallow water ( less than 10 feet deep ) . pickerel move deeper in very hot weather or , if shallow cover such as lily pads or a dock is present , to shady spots where the water is cooler . when water temperatures decline in the fall , pickerel will move to the outside edges of weed beds . chain pickerel are found through much of the midwest as well as in the northeast and south .
the chain pickerel weighs from sixteen to thirty two ounces and are about seventeen inches long [ 5 ] . some distinguishing markings are the green and bronze coloring and a dark bar underneath each eye [ 6 ] . chain pickerel lay their eggs early so that their young may feed upon the young of other fish which lay their eggs later [ 7 ] .
* * 6 . fishing tips * * a light spinning outfit spooled with 6 - pound - test mono is ideal . spinners and spoons rank among the most popular lures , but these toothy predators will strike almost any kind of lure , including crankbaits , jigs and topwater plugs . weed - resistant lures such as spinnerbaits and weedless spoons are necessary when working lily pads or other heavy vegetation . flyfishermen catch plenty of pickerel on large streamers and hair bugs . to prevent bite - offs , use a short wire leader . chain pickerel are slimier than most fish , so use a towel to hold the fish when removing the hook . clean a pickerel as if it were a small pike ; pickerel have

description : ( anatomy of a fish ) the redfin pickerel is a narrowly elongated fish with a duck - like snout that is short and wide . the body is brown to dark olive in color with numerous wavy horizontal bars with a white belly . the fins are often bright orange - red to red , especially in spawning adults . a black bar slants backward toward the gill flap or operculum from the eye , and can sometimes be vertical .
the lateral line system is present in every fish species . it is a sensory canal system that detects the changes in water pressure and water movement through open pores and sensory organs , which is useful in detecting prey . lateral lines are made up of pores that can span from the head to the caudal fin . redfin pickerel have a complete lateral line , meaning it reaches from the head to the caudal fin , with 94 - 117 scales and grass pickerel have a lateral line with fewer than 110 scales . both pickerel have 3 - 5 submandibular pores which , along with the lateral line , are connected to the cephalic lateralis canal system ( sensory canals on the head ) . these pores are open , located under the jaw , and aid the lateral line in the detection of water pressure and movement changes .
breeding interval spawn once in the late winter and early spring months for a period of 2 - 4 weeks . grass pickerel occasionally spawn again in the late summer to early winter months .
becker ( 1983 ) indicated that , in wisconsin , grass pickerel are eaten by catfishes ( ictaluridae ) , sunfishes ( centrarchidae ) , yellow perch ( perca flavescens ) , and grass pickerel . extensive accounts of diets of common piscivorous birds - - osprey ( pandion haliaetus ) , common loon ( gavia immer ) , double crested cormorant ( phalacrocorax auritus ) , common merganser ( mergus merganser ) , belted kingfisher ( ceryle alcyon ) , and great blue heron ( ardea herodias ) - - in the birds of north america series ( poole and gill , eds . , 1992 - 2002 ) were checked . none of the literature surveyed indicated that the grass pickerel was eaten by any of these fish - eating birds that are common in the same habitats . an assumption prevails that grass pickerel may be detrimental to northern pike , and kleinert and mraz ( 1966 ) suggested that management efforts should be made that would prevent the spread of the pickerel .
as this species is associated with heavily vegetated areas and deeper pools , it is sensitive to raparian damage from livestock or to any erosional problems resulting in increased sedimentation , bank failure , and loss of vegetation ( ross 2001 ) . populations negatively affected where streams are channelized and denuded of vegetation and where swamps have been drained ( boschung and mayden 2004 ) . e . americanus eaten by catfishes , sunfishes , yellow perch , and redfin pickerel themselves ( becker 1983 ) .
cannibalism occurred infrequently , and there appears to be no evidence that this fish gorges on fishes . in ontario , rarely were there more than two fishes in the stomach of a grass pickerel .

chain pickerel can grow to more than 30 inches long , but one of 25 inches and four or five pounds is considered a trophy in pennsylvania . the state record is an eight - pounder . two - pound pickerel are common where the fish have enough to eat . the chain pickerel hides easily in its weedy habitat , with its dark , greenish - yellow back , fading to lighter yellow - green along the sides . over the sides is a pattern of dark chainlike markings that gives the fish its name . the belly is white . a dark mark , like a clown’s painted tear , appears below each eye . the fins are unmarked and pale . as is typical of pickerel , both the cheek and the opercle , or gill cover , are fully scaled . chain pickerel have a long snout . the distance from the tip of the nose to the front of the eye is greater than the distance from the back of the eye to the end of the gill cover .
according to page and burr 1991 , the redfin pickerel has a fully scaled cheek and opercle . there is a black suborbital bar slanted toward the posterior . the dorsal surface is dark olive - brown and the ventral side ranges from white to amber colored . there are typically 15 - 36 dark bars on the lateral side of the adults . there are between 11 - 13 branchiostegal rays ; about 4 submandibular pores ; and 92 - 118 lateral scales ( page and burr 1991 ) .
male and female grass and redfin pickerel are patterned alike , but females tend to be larger than males in specimens over 200mm . ming ( 1968 ) examining grass pickerel in oklahoma , found females weighed more and grew to longer lengths than males did over the 4 years this study was conducted . specifically , females averaged 127g , 197g , 248g , and 306g in the 1st , 2nd , 3rd , and 4th years of the study respectively , whereas males were averaged 123g , 195g , and 235g ( no 4th year ) in the same time period . the total lengths of male and female grass pickerel follow the same trend ; 3 - year - old females had average lengths of 140mm , 203mm , and 245mm through years 1 - 3 respectively . males were smaller than females through the same time period , with average lengths of 132mm , 194mm , 235mm ( ming , 1968 ) .
3 . habits and spawning behavior although chain pickerel are primarily fish eaters , they will take just about any kind of food . besides fish , other common food items include frogs , crayfish and mice . chain pickerel prefer to stake out spots on the edges of weed beds and waylay prey as it passes . in early spring , when the water temperature rises into the mid - 40s , chain pickerel move into shallow , weedy bays to spawn . they drape gelatinous strings of eggs up to 3 feet long over aquatic vegetation , sticks and logs . the parents then abandon the eggs and make no attempt to protect the fry .
grass pickerel scatter their adhesive eggs over underwater plants , when water temperatures in the spring rise to the low 50s , generally april . they may also spawn in the fall , but the survival of the fry is probably very low , and they may occasionally hybridize with northern pike . with its small size , the grass pickerel eats few fish , but feasts instead on invertebrates , aquatic insects , crayfish and other crustaceans .
having slow to moderate currents and abundant aquatic vegetation or undercut banks , in swamps and isolated overflow pools of rivers . the young occur in schools , but adults are solitary , aggressive predators . an individual will lie motionless along the edge of aquatic vegetation or an undercut bank for long periods . when unsuspecting prey appears , the fish darts out , grasps the prey , and swallows it head first . large insect larvae , crayfishes , and fishes are staples of the adult diet . redfin pickerel live to 6 years ;
jones creek individuals were parasitized by 11 organisms , mostly trematodes , in virtually all internal organs . only three protozoans appeared dense enough to affect the health of grass pickerel ( crossman 1962a , see also ming 1968 ) .

the most effective method of using a minnow trap for redfin is to place the trap in a location where a fur trapper would place a trap for beaver or otter . that is , locate a narrow passageway in the stream through which any fish traveling upstream or downstream would need to pass , an opening between two rocks for example , where the water is a foot deep or less and fast moving . if all other paths are blocked or difficult to pass through , then a minnow trap carefully place in this opening will be extremely effective . i often raise the trap slightly by placing some small flat rocks underneath the trap . this will bring the trap closer to the surface where redfin often travel . the trap may need to be left for several days . i have found that often all the pickerel in an area will relocate at once , often after a rainfall , filling traps placed in this method .

the cheeks and gill covers on the redfin pickerel are fully scaled , while the top of the head has few if any scales . a darkened vertical bar beneath the eye slants slightly backward . in cross section , the body is oval or cigar - shaped . the back is dark green to brown . color patterns on the sides are variable , from a green - and - white reticulate pattern resembling that of a brick wall to green , forward - slanting vertical bars . along the lower sides , fingerlike green projections extend downward and forward onto a cream or yellow venter .
chain pickerel live in and around weedbeds and sunken stumps and logs in natural lakes , swampy ponds and manmade impoundments . they can also be found in the sluggish parts of clear streams and in the naturally acidic , tannin - stained waters that drain boggy wetlands , as in northeastern pennsylvania . chain pickerel are commonly shallow - water dwellers , but they can live in deep lakes . they don’t travel far from their selected home areas , and they tolerate a wide temperature range .
grass pickerel live in the marshy areas of lakes and ponds , as well as in slow - flowing sections or backwaters of clear streams . they are usually found in and around dense , rooted aquatic vegetation over a soft , silt bottom .
pike , pickerel , and muskellunges collectively make seven species under one genus , esox , which is a genus of freshwater fish . esox is the only extant genus of the family : esocidae . being members of the same genus , both pike and pickerel share many features in common , yet there are some exhibited differences between them . this article intends to summarize the interesting features of both pike ( 3 species ) and pickerels ( 2 species ) and to discuss the difference between them .
grass and redfin pickerel reside in aquatic areas where there are large spans of aquatic vegetation . they are mainly found in relatively shallow ( less than 2 meters ) and warm ( 24 - 27 degrees celsius ) swamps , lakes , backwaters , and slow - moving pool habitats within stream channels that are clear . usually , they reside in bodies of water that have muddy bottoms , but they can also exist in rocky substrates . they are mainly a freshwater species , but have been reported to be found in the brackish waters of new york and new jersey and occasionally in brackish water around the chesapeake bay .

redfin pickerel can at times reach weights in excess of 1 pound throughout the vast majority of its range in the south they are restricted to sizes of 4 to 15 inches ( 38 cm ) . elongate body . they colored dark olive to brown above , with lighter sides , with dark greenish - yellow to brown wavy bars ; dark bar under eye slopes down and back ; fins reddish , without dark spots . head long ; snout short , with straight profile ; 4 sensory pores on each side of lower jaw ; 11–13 ( usually 12 ) branchiostegal rays . cheek and opercle fully scaled . lateral line complete , with 97–118 scales .
if you accidentally capture a grass pickerel in quebec , it is very important to advise the centre de données sur le patrimoine naturel du québec of your catch , and to release the fish back into the water in a manner that maximizes its chances of survival .
pickerel , common name for 3 closely related carnivorous , soft - rayed freshwater fishes in the pike family ( esocidae ) . in parts of canada , the name is applied , erroneously , to the wwalleye . the name is derived from an english diminutive of pike .
chain pickerel are solitary predators , feasting on fish , which they stalk through the underwater weedbeds , as well as crayfish , large aquatic insects , frogs and other small animal life that gets into the water . they feed during the day , especially at dawn and dusk , and are active through the winter , under the ice , so they can be caught by ice anglers . in ponds where they overpopulate and outstrip their food source , chain pickerel may become stunted “pencil pike , ” or “hammer handles , ” small in size and thin .
interactions with other species of fishes were limited to predation and food . in jones creek , there were 22 other species of fishes , but the grass pickerel preyed on only nine . the central mudminnow , umbra limi , and the golden shiner , notemigonus crysoleucas were dominant prey items . golden shiners were preyed upon in relation to their relative abundance rather than selection ( crossman 1962a ) , but crossman ( 1962b ) suggested that the grass pickerel selected for the central mudminnow . ming ( 1968 ) noted that , in oklahoma , of 76 species of fishes captured , only 44 of them could be said to be
closely associated
with the grass pickerel . those species were in the following families : lepisosteidae , amiidae , clupeidae , cyprinidae , catostomidae , ictaluridae , anguillidae , centrarchidae , percidae , sciaenidae and atherinidae .
fecundity : moderately large number of small demersal , adhesive eggs ( crossman 1980 ) . mature eggs average 1 . 9mm in diameter and are golden yellow ; range from 843 to 4584 mature eggs for grass pickerel of 160 - 325 mm tl ( kleinert and mraz 1966 ) .


trisopterus esmarkii , the norway pout , is a species of fish in the cod family .

it is found in the barents sea , north sea , baltic sea , off the coasts of norway , iceland , the british isles and elsewhere in the northeast atlantic ocean .

it prefers depths between 100 and 200 m ( 330 – 660 ft ) , but occurs from 50 to 300 m ( 160 – 980 ft ) .

norway pout can reach 35 cm ( 14 in ) , but are more common at around 19 cm ( 7.5 in ) .

it is extensively fished , mostly for conversion into fishmeal , with 877,910 t taken in 1974 , and only 39,223 t taken in 2008 .

trisopterus esmarkii is the direct target of small - mesh fisheries for fish meal and fish oil ( ices 2007 ) . this species population is also impacted by other commercial species , as it is an important prey species of other commercially important fishes , such as cod , saithe , haddock , mackerel and whiting .
trisopterus esmarkii is restricted to the northeastern atlantic ocean , where it is distributed from svalbard and the southwest barents sea , south to the english channel , including bear island , around iceland and at the faroe islands ( cohen et al . 1990 ) . it is found at depths ranging from 50 to 300 metres .

justification : trisopterus esmarkii , the norway pout , is distributed from the southwest barents sea , sometimes at bear island , south to the english channel , around iceland and at the faeroe islands . it is caught in the industrial fishery and estimates of ssb from the only available stock assessment in the north sea fluctuates over the past 30 years due to variable recruitment and short - life span caused by high natural mortality , with no observable trend . within the last 10 years ( three generation lengths ) there is also no observable trend . fishing mortality has been reduced due to implementation of bi - annual recommendations for total allowable catch . trisopterus esmarkii is therefore listed as least concern .

the norway pout is dark greeny brown dorsally , with distinct silver sides and a small but conspicuous dark spot above the base of the pectoral fin . the maximum recorded size for this species is 35 cm . trisopterus esmarkii has an elongate body whose depth is less than the head is long . the snout is pointed with a prominent lower jaw and large mouth extending to the level of the middle of the pupil . its eyes are large , greater than the snout length . it has a conspicuous moderately long , thin chin barbel . there are 3 dorsal and 2 anal fins , with the origin of the anal fin positioned below or slightly behind the first dorsal interspace .
trisopterus esmarkii is a relatively abundant gadoid in the north sea and barents sea . a stock assessment in the north sea ( including skagerrak and kattegat ) shows ssb for this species in the north sea as widely fluctuated over the past 30 years ( 1983–2014 ) with an apparent increase in biomass from the mid - 2000s to 2013 . this is a short - lived species . the abundance of this species is closely linked to recruitment , which has varied considerably over the last decade ( ices 2014 ) . due to the relatively short lifespan of this species , stock dynamics are highly variable . this species is also fished in the industrial fishery ( e . g . harvested for fishmeal and oil ) throughout the region , but no other stock assessments are available .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
norway pout is a benthopelagic to pelagic species which is typically found over muddy bottoms at depths of 50 to 300 meters , but more commonly between 100 and 200 meters . it feeds primarily on copepods ( bromley et al . 1997 ) , but also consumes decapod larvae , mysids and euphasiids ( gordon 1977 ) . norway pout is an important prey species in the north sea ecosystem ( ices 2011 ) . this species spawns in the north sea at depths of > 100 m , with a peak in spawning occurring between march and april , with more northern populations ( off the coast of norway ) spawning in late march and continuing through to june . the principal spawning area of norway pout in the north sea is in the northwestern region ( nash et al . 2012 ) . this species most likely spawns only once , and natural mortality is significantly correlated with sexual maturity , sex , growth and intra - specific stock density , indicating that this species may die as a direct or indirect result of spawning ( nielsen et al . 2012 ) . females are generally more abundant than males , with female dominance increasing by age ( albert 1994 ) . males mature younger than females ( age at 50 % maturity : males = 1 . 2 years , females = 1 . 5 years ) ( lambert et al . 2009 ) and longevity is four to five years . generation length is therefore estimated to be about two to three years .
this species is a direct target of small - mesh fisheries for fish meal and fish oil ( ices 2007 ) . it is primarily caught using bottom trawls and danish seines ( cohen et al . 1990 ) .
harvest control rules based on total allowable catches are in place for norway pout and are frequently re - evaluated due to this species ' short lifespan ( ices 2014 ) .

norway pout belongs to the cod family and lives in schools . it is commonly found in the northern north sea . it is rare to find it along the dutch coast . this species likes to swim close to the bottom . other fish species such as mackerel , coal fish , whiting , haddock and cod love to eat norway pout . all together , these species consume an estimated 1 . 3 million tons of norway pout in the north sea per year . the norwegian and danish industrial fleet used to fish norway pout on a large scale , however interest in this fish species decreased in the mid 1980s . norway pout is still used as food for fish farms and cattle .

the norway pout fishery is relatively small and confined principally to norway and denmark . the by - products are probably blended into other fishery by - products and not available as a separate product . blue whiting is a large fishery primarily confined to the eu and northern european countries with a smaller catch controlled by 25 other countries .

presents some fatty acid profile data on blue whiting , southern blue whiting and norway pout .
) , which can dive into the krill sl at depth during daytime or when it is closer to the surface during its upward dvm during night - time or in response to some physical forcing under certain circumstances .
among these predators , baleen whales are unique , since they do not feed on individuals but on bulk amounts of krill , targeting aggregations that they engulf in mouthfuls . the whales take advantage of krill swarming behaviour which is otherwise a beneficial anti - predation strategy (
) . nevertheless , aggregation may not be completely ineffective against whale predation , since it at least minimises the spatial extent of the krill distribution and makes it harder for roaming predators to detect them . however , once a predator has detected the edge of an aggregation , the probability of it being of considerable biomass is high , since aggregations often extend over kilometre scales (
how do changes in the ocean environment affect the productivity of marine fish ? apart from the obvious effects of temperature on metabolic rates , it is most likely that changes in the ocean environment manifest themselves through the food web . according to the hypothesis of bottom - up control , productivity at higher trophic levels is limited by primary production . just as a rising tide floats all boats , one would expect an increase in primary production to benefit all the species that rely on this production . we might expect to find the best evidence for bottom - up control in ecosystems with seasonal production and relatively simple food chains , such as boreal and upwelling ecosystems . in the north sea there have been parallel changes in abundance of phytoplankton , zooplankton , herring , and seabirds , which can be interpreted as bottom - up control of the pelagic food chain . during the gadoid outburst in the north sea , recruitment of five demersal species – cod , haddock , whiting , saithe , and norway pout – increased by a factor of 4 or 5 between the early and late 1960s . the gadoid outburst has been interpreted as bottom - up control of recruitment by zooplankton abundance and availability . though the gadoid outburst ended in the 1980s , debate continues on the cause of this phenomenon .
given that primary production limits production at higher trophic levels , species replacements may be caused by competition for limiting resources . according to accepted ecological methods , for species to compete , they must use the same resource , which must be in limiting supply . removal of one species should result in increased use of the resource by the other species . because of the difficulty of manipulating marine fish populations it has been very difficult to demonstrate competition , except for some sedentary species such as reef fishes . for many fish species that are mobile and differ in their feeding preferences , opportunities for interference competition are few . however , the species may still compete if one species eats food that the other species would have eaten . the limited energy in a food web may be channeled to one species or another , and this partitioning process can be considered exploitative competition .
for example , sardines and anchovies have a broad diet overlap and may potentially compete . the japanese sardine fluctuations (
) have been explained with a cyclic advantage hypothesis . a mathematical model of this hypothesis , which incorporates competition between the sardines and the other species groups , is able to reproduce the sequential replacement of the species groups . the replacement of the gadoids on georges bank by elasmobranches can also be interpreted as competition between the species groups . the abundance of the two species groups is inversely related in phase space (
) , and reciprocal negative interaction terms were estimated between these groups in a multispecies model . as there is little predation between the gadoids and elasmobranches , the negative interaction terms support the competition hypothesis . an alternative hypothesis is that the different species groups simply respond differently to varying oceanographic conditions . however , this simplistic explanation begs the question of what changes in the environment caused the dramatic fluctuations and whether these changes occurred in the food web .
the bottom - up hypothesis implies that prey density limits the feeding rate , growth and production of predators . the best evidence of this limitation is shifts in the mean size at age of predator species in response to changing prey abundance . for example , the growth rate of icelandic cod was significantly related to the biomass of capelin , one of its primary prey species (
) . faster - growing cod mature at a younger age and larger females produce more eggs ; hence faster growth rates should translate to higher per capita fecundity . however , care must be taken when interpreting size - at - age data because growth rates are influenced by factors in addition to food availability , such as temperature .
one of the most widely expressed concerns about the intensive and selective fishing activities of humans is that they will lead to imbalances in ecosystem function which have ramifications for non - target species . thus fishers who capture small “forage fishes” such as sardines or pilchards
( nilsson ) will compete with other predators in the marine ecosystem . industrial fisheries in the north sea , for example , accounted for over half the total catch by the late 1980s (
) . there is increasing pressure to manage marine ecosystems with a view to ensuring the well - being of birds and marine mammals rather than maximizing fish production for humans . moreover , some fishery biologists have also expressed concern about the
intensive fishing of forage fishes since these may provide food for more valuable fished species .
) , but these reductions may lead to responses in non - target species through changes in competitive interactions and predator–prey relationships . the indirect effects of fishing on trophic interactions in marine ecosystems have become a major concern of the conservation movement (
) and a good scientific basis for management decisions is essential . in addition , it is in this field that improved links between fish population biology and ecology would have particular benefits . the current debates amongst fisheries ecologists invoke comparison with debates about the relative roles of “top down” ( predator ) or “bottom up” ( environmental and prey ) control in ecosystems and the relative significance of “donor controlled” dynamics ( in which victim populations influence enemy dynamics but enemies have no significant effect on victim populations ) in food webs .
) but empirical evidence suggests it is wrong to assume that most predator–prey relationships are tightly coupled and that the removal or proliferation of one species which eats another will result in detectable changes in ecological processes . in particular , simplistic models of predator–prey interactions often take no account of prey switching , ontogenetic shifts in diet , cannibalism or the diversity of species in marine ecosystems and thus they often fail to provide valid predictions of changes in abundance . in
we review the empirical evidence for and against the proliferation of prey species following the removal of their predators . this is of particular significance because it has been suggested that the deliberate removal of predatory fishes ( or other top predators ) may allow fishers to harvest more of their prey (
jones , 1982 ; grigg et al . , 1984 ; munro and williams , 1985
birds and mammals may prey on marine fishes and humans compete with them as top predators . in
we consider whether the removal or proliferation of prey has significant impacts on predator populations , discussing the relative roles of fisheries and environmental change in determining the availability of prey and how these processes affect the abundance and life histories of predators .
) and yet there have been marked changes in the species that dominate the biomass and yield from many of the most productive marine fisheries . there has been much debate as to whether these changes are natural fluctuations in marine
we consider the significance of species replacements and whether these have been stimulated by fisheries which remove biomass and therefore reduce interactions between species which formerly competed with , or ate , one - another . in
compositional analyses have been used both for characterisation and for authentication purposes . the lipid content and to a greater extent the fatty acid composition of tissue lipids of animals are closely related to diet , making these suitable markers for identifying wild or cultured production methods . chromatographic techniques are the methods of choice for the analysis of fatty acid mixtures , the old bligh and dyer method (
) being the most frequently used to isolate and purify lipids from biological materials . it is based on a liquid - liquid extraction , a mild treatment so as to minimise oxidative decomposition of fish lipids due to their highly unsaturated structure .
most of the gc techniques developed to study fish lipids require a derivatisation step prior to analysis . transesterification with methanol is the most commonly used ; the fatty acids are then studied as fatty acid methyl esters or fames . most studies have focused on the liver oil or the fish flesh ; however ,
other parts of the fish have also been investigated . for example , for atlantic salmon , total lipid content and composition have been characterised for different anatomical fractions : skin , red and white muscle , belly flap , dorsal fat depot , backbone , head , visceral tissue , liver (
the long chain n - 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids ( pufa ) are the most characteristic components of fish lipids , the main polyenoic acids being eicosapentaenoic acid ( epa or 20 : 5n - 3 ) and docosahexenoic acid ( dha or 22 : 6n - 3 ) . levels of linoleic ( 18 : 2n - 6 ) and linolenic ( 18 : 3n - 3 ) acids , more commonly found in vegetable oils , are generally low in marine lipids . feed formulations used in aquaculture are made up of fishmeal and fish oil , often derived from species such as capelin , menhaden ( brevoortia spp . ) , sand eel , sprat , norway pout , blue whiting , horse mackerel , atlantic herring ( clupea spp . ) , anchovy ( engraulis spp . ) , and pilchard . since fatty acid profiles can vary from species to species , these differences can be found in the farmed fish fed on specific fishmeal . with declining fish stocks and the corresponding growth in the use of fishmeal and fish oil for aquaculture , there is a move towards incorporating plant - derived products such as soybean meal or vegetable oils in the fish feed . the variations in fatty acid profiles due to these changes also offer a useful means of differentiating between wild and farmed fish .
various studies have confirmed these differences in fatty acid composition in wild and cultured fish .
reported dissimilarities in fatty acid profiles of the flesh lipids of cultured and wild sea bass , with oleic acid ( 18 : 1n - 9 ) and linoleic acid ( 18 : 2n - 6 ) being significantly higher in the farmed fish . both these fatty acids can be linked to the use of plant - derived oils in the feed . on the other hand , cultured sea bass contained lower amounts of epa and dha , with a higher ratio of n - 3 to n - 6 in the wild fish .
on the characterisation of the fatty acid compositions of cultured and wild sturgeon , it was found that wild sturgeon have lower levels of dha or epa . the higher amounts of long chain n - 3 fatty acids in the cultured fish were attributed to the use of herring or menhaden in the fishmeal .
potential fraudulent practices do not always entail substituting cheaper farmed fish for its more valuable wild counterpart . in areas where fishing rights are restricted , to protect certain fish populations for instance , there is the potential for endemic fish species to be illegally sold as cultured fish .
used fatty acid composition and chemometric data treatment to discriminate between wild and farmed largemouth bass , black and white crappies , all freshwater fish that are popular with anglers . this study focused on four main fatty acids : linoleic ( 18 : 2n - 6 ) , linolenic ( 18 : 3n - 3 ) , arachidonic ( 20 : 4n - 6 ) and docosahexaenoic ( 22 : 6n - 3 ) . the statistical models built up using different data treatments all gave good classification rates were obtained for the wild and cultured species . this work was unusual in that it examined juvenile , age - 0 , rather than adult fish .
although it has been clearly demonstrated that fatty acid composition is closely linked to the fish feed , there are other factors that may affect the overall profile , such as age , fatty acid metabolism and so on . add to this the possible changes in the feed composition to farmed fish to reflect available supplies , and the fact that the diet of wild fish can vary with season , migration patterns and other external factors , it is clear that most discriminant models based on fatty acid profiles may be subject to a number of uncontrolled variables . to provide a more robust solution it is probably best to envisage other complementary methods .
m in length landed 248 , 036 tonnes of seafood worth £159 . 1 million in 2010 (
) . bottom trawlers , however , dominate the uk fleet in terms of vessel numbers and days spent at sea , and the target roundfish and flatfish species are caught as part of a mixed fishery . the food web of the north sea is complex , and there is a trade - off in the yields of different species . for example , low fishing mortality on cod is predicted to lead to an increase in its spawning stock biomass ( ssb ) but a decrease in the ssb and yield for whiting and haddock through their increased direct predation by cod . effects may cascade , with the potential to also increase the ssb and yield for herring , sandeel , norway pout and sprat due to their reduced predation by whiting and haddock (
present the ices data for the top 25 finfish species caught in the north sea and the top 19 recorded invertebrate species . the data are a fascinating window on the social , ecological and economic history of the north sea . some major trends evident , such as the disappearance of herring and the gadoid outburst are examples of nature determining landings (
) . others , such as the catches of blue whiting , mackerel and wolf fish show how technological advance or culinary fashions can encourage fishers to target new species . latterly declines in landings of some species are clearly , at least in part , a result of over - exploitation ( e . g . cod and whiting ) . other declines may be the result of climate change , managing down exploitation or mis - management (
) . decreases in landings of bivalves such as mussels and oysters reflect a shift from fisheries to mariculture for these species ( david jarrad , shellfish association of great britain , pers . com . ) .
jennings and lee , 2012 ; jennings et al . , 1999 ; rijnsdorp et al . , 1998 ; stefc , 2012
) . these fishing footprints are also affected by the local seabed substrate type . mixed sediments are the predominant bottom type in the north sea . coarser sands are dominant in the shallower more tidally active south . mud is generally more prevalent in the deeper northern parts , with substantial areas of exposed bedrock found mainly around the coasts of scotland and norway .
at the finer scale , there remain significant gaps in our empirical understanding about both the spatial and temporal effects of fishing gear–habitat interactions . this uncertainty is manifest when attempts are made to value the economic benefits and costs of restricting fishing over large spatial scales (
) , with assumptions made on the impact of different fishing gears reflecting pre - conceived biases . indeed , this knowledge deficit has become increasingly relevant to the debates over management measures for mpas , particularly the ongoing revision of fishing activities to be restricted in european marine sites ( emss ) ,
and current debates on the management restrictions to be placed in mczs . importantly , regional scale modelling exercises reveal that there are trade - offs in designing mpa networks to achieve different sets of conservation objectives (
