    Notes: The recapture rate and survival of reared cod Gadus morhua L. (15–45 cm) released in fjords and open coastal areas of Norway increased with increasing size at release, while release area and season also had a significant influence on the results. High mortality soon after release reduced the number of released fish by more than two–thirds within 6 months, and reduced the potential commercial yield to a low level. In most cases the recapture yield was lower than the released biomass and the net yield increased little or not at all with increasing size at release. In western Norway high fishing mortality of young fish reduced the numbers of surviving fish rapidly and the growth overfishing reduced the potential yield still further. Natural mortality decreased with increasing size at release, and became low when the fish approached their size refuge, i.e. when they could not be eaten by their usual predators.

    Notes: Releases of farmed fish, whether accidental from commercial aquaculture facilities or intentional as part of stock enhancement/ranching activities, are considered to pose a risk to native gene pools. Stock enhancement studies of Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, based on artificially produced juveniles, were initiated in 1984 in western Norway, and genetic aspects were incorporated. In order to investigate potential interbreeding between released and wild cod, a genetically marked cod strain was developed, being homozygotic for a rare allele (GPI-1*30) expressed in white muscle tissue. In the period from 1990 to 1994, juveniles from the genetic marked strain were released in large quantities in three locations (Masfjord, Øygarden, Heimarkspollen), giving a significant increase of the marker allele in the local wild cod populations. Recently, studies have been conducted in the same areas to estimate the extent of interbreeding between the wild and released cod. The results, however, revealed no permanent increase of the frequency of the marker allele and/or GPI-1*30 heterozygotes as would be expected from interbreeding. The recent data are compared with comprehensive genetic data of the cod populations in the areas before the actual releases, covering the full period from 1994 to 2003. The present results are also discussed in relation to fishing pressure on coastal cod, migration information and reproductive success of released, genetically marked cod.

    Notes: Less than 2% of the O–group cod Gadus morhua of mean length 8 cm at release survived their first 3 months in the sea, while c. 75% of those of mean length 12 cm survived a similar period. There was no difference in mortality rates during their first winter at sea between groups with mean lengths 12 and 17 cm at release. The results could probably be explained by the relatively small sizes of predatory fishes in the fjord and the degree of overlap between size at release and the preferred prey sizes of the predators.

    Description: One of the effects of fishing is a reduction in average age and size in exploited fish stocks, leading to an increasing proportion of recruit spawners in the stock. Current management practice assumes equal viability of offspring from first time spawners and from repeat spawners, despite the fact that that first time spawners often produce smaller eggs than older spawners. The aim of this EU-project is to follow offspring from families of first time spawning and older cod, reared under identical and semi-natural conditions in marine enclosures (mesocosms). The parental origin of the larvae is identified using microsatellite DNA methodology. The advantage of this approach, compared to traditional laboratory rearing, is that rearing conditions are close to natural conditions, and all larvae are reared in the same environment. This eliminates the tank-to-tank variability often observed in traditional rearing experiments. The fish are reared from hatching, through the larval and juvenile stages, until sexual maturity. Growth rates, survival and nutritional condition will be measured using methods such as RNA/DNA ratio and otolith micro increment analysis. The results will be related to parental origin and quality measures of the eggs. It is intended to incorporate the results into management models for improvement of fishery management strategies. In this paper we will focus on a description of the project
