| We often went down on a Sunday to scoop up basinfuls of capelin when they washed ashore. |
|
| Larger salmon eat a variety of fishes such as herring and alewives, smelts, capelin, small mackerel, sand lace, and small cod. |
|
| The cannery brought in herring from other countries, but capelin had become the major industrial species. |
|
| They carry one capelin, herring, or sand lance at a time to the chicks, making about 16 trips a day. |
|
| Likewise, a high proportion of capelin that survive the nearshore predator gauntlet die during or shortly after spawning. |
|
| In this area, observers reported that the capelin seemed to roll in the evening and in the middle of the night when the waves were small. |
|
| Depending on the population and the year, capelin can vary significantly in size. |
|
| One would think that there would be an explosion of capelin, because there isn't a million metric tonnes of fish to eat them. |
|
| We'll get fish in the spring of the year when they're chasing the herring, and then the cod will go until it comes back with the capelin. |
|
| Well, there are hints in different aspects for crab and shrimp, but the capelin didn't do that. |
|
| Yet there are thousands of jobs and man-hours in this province where the capelin fishery is carried out. |
|
| These networks provide current data on two key marine species in the St. Lawrence: the capelin and eelgrass. |
|
| By letter of 9 July 2004, the Greenland authorities informed the Commission that the TAC for capelin for 2004 has been fixed at 335 000 tonnes. |
|
| Seydhisfjördhur and Neskaupstadhur, on the eastern coast, are important ports for herring and capelin fishing. |
|
| The capelin and herring catches usually are reduced to oil and meal but also are salted. |
|
| In contrast, cod in the inshore area appear to be faring well in all seasons, and their diet has been relatively rich in capelin. |
|
| Like the capelin, these fish aggregate close to shore, then a female and associated males ride a wave to very shallow water, where they spawn on a fine gravel beach. |
|
| These data generally confirm that capelin spawns on sandy or fine gravel beaches. |
|
| Seals also consume large quantities of capelin, which is an important prey for many of these commercial species. |
|
| Others are saying that to help replenish what's out there in the offshore, one of the things you could do is cut or curtail the capelin fishery. |
|
|
|
| According to one observer from this municipality, the minke whale herded the capelin to the shore to trap them. |
|
| Some species like the scallop Chlamys islandica and capelin tend to occupy this area between the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. |
|
| The zooplankton feeders include young cod, capelin, polar cod, whales, and little auk. |
|
| The Barents Sea contains the world largest remaining cod population, as well as an important stocks of haddock and capelin. |
|
| Male capelin are considered to be semelparous because they die soon after the spawning season is over. |
|
| In some years with large quantities of Atlantic herring in the Barents Sea, capelin seem to be heavily affected. |
|
| Probably both food competition and herring feeding on capelin larvae lead to collapses in the capelin stock. |
|
| Commercially, capelin is used for fish meal and oil industry products, but is also appreciated as food. |
|
| The part of these regulations that refers to the vessel's stability does not apply if the inspected vessel is not employed in catching herring or capelin. |
|
| In days gone by, people used capelin more as fertilizer for their crops, as cod bait, as dog food, to make fish meal or simply as a source of food. |
|
| In addition to these characteristics, capelin has a villous band on the lateral line, hence its Latin name, Mallotus villosus, meaning villous or hairy. |
|
| Two fin whales were treating themselves to schools of capelin seen wriggling at the surface last May 24 in the area between Tadoussac and Les Escoumins. |
|
| One of our observers, who also saw two fin whales in this area, told us the capelin were seen wriggling at the surface making for some very happy gulls, not to mention a variety of other marine animals. |
|
| There is equivocal evidence on capelin, the primary prey of cod. |
|
| The capelin fishery always comes to the fore when we talk about cod. |
|
| The species feeds on herring, capelin and euphausiids. |
|
| They also suffer indirectly, through the loss of their main prey, a fish called the capelin, which has begun to swim northward in search of cooler waters. |
|
| Cod and capelin make up about two-thirds of the total catch, and whitefish species such as cod and haddock are exported fresh, frozen, salted, or dried. |
|
| However, I think it is clear that cod depend on capelin for food. |
|
| You say that from the information gathered on the migratory routes of the wild salmon and finfish, they have documented and videotaped herring and capelin caught in the open net-cage system. |
|
|
|
| Some is the bait, the way the bait works in the bay and where the bait is set in the bay, and the capelin stocks and the herring stocks and everything else. |
|
| We don't see these huge numbers of capelin and an explosion in capelin. |
|
| There were no worthwhile capelin stocks around. |
|
| Mr. Gary Monks: Anyway, it just about destroyed our capelin stocks. |
|
| As far as I'm concerned, the capelin were in there and plentiful, but what we've seen in the last two years with capelin is the capelin are back big time. |
|
| When capelin stocks are great, capelin is their main diet. |
|
| The prey species of the Atlantic puffin include the sandeel, herring and capelin. |
|
| It consists generally of mid water schooling fish such as capelin, sand lance, juvenile cod, sprats and herring. |
|
| The stomach contents of Dall's porpoises reveal that they mainly feed on cephalopods and bait fish, like capelin and sardines. |
|
| They feed mostly on small pelagic schooling fish, particularly herring, capelin, and sprat. |
|
| Other fishery targets include haddock, Atlantic herring, lobster and several species of flatfish and pelagic fish such as sand lance and capelin. |
|
| After the collapse, Iceland turned to capelin, which now account for about half of Iceland's total catch. |
|
| There was no capelin fishery on our side of the bay whatsoever. |
|
| However, in some years there has been good recruitment of capelin despite a high herring biomass, suggesting that herring are only one factor influencing capelin dynamics. |
|
| Meanwhile, the elderly capelin population was quickly fished out. |
|
| The majority of capelin are three or four years old when they spawn. |
|
| Around Iceland, maturing capelin usually undertake extensive northward feeding migrations in spring and summer and the return migration takes place in September to November. |
|
| The northeast Atlantic cod and capelin fisheries therefore are managed by a multispecies approach developed by the main resource owners Norway and Russia. |
|
| Larger capelin also eat a great deal of krill and other crustaceans. |
|
| This recovery was accompanied by a decline of capelin and cod stocks. |
|
|
|
| Capelin are widely distributed in the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea, and Sea Okhotsk, and along the Kamchatka Peninsula. |
|
| Capelin in the Barents Sea and around Iceland are stocks that perform extensive seasonal migrations. |
|
| Capelin is an important forage fish, and is essential as the key food of the Atlantic cod. |
|
| Capelin is considered a more common choice of sustenance during the winter season. |
|
| Capelin distribution and migration is linked with ocean currents and water masses. |
|
| David Capelin swung a sand wedge at his one-year-old bull mastiff-cross, Lucy, after discovering she had eaten his shopping and messed on the kitchen floor. |
