Proximate Analyses

Proximate analyses were made at bi-monthly intervals during 1933–34 on samples of Ostrea lurida, O. virginica, and O. gigas grown under identical conditions in the strait of Georgia. The proportions of glycogen and protein are shown to be approximately reciprocal and the greatest variation to occur during the summer. The energy content varies slightly, attaining a maximum in late fall and early winter, O. gigas having the highest and O. lurida the lowest values.

Proximate Analyses

Proximate analyses of samples of canned pilchard from fish caught early and late in the season in one vicinity on the west coast of Vancouver island are tabulated. The average calorific value per pound of content was 747 and 1074 Calories, respectively. The percentage of fat (18.5) in the late-caught fish was almost twice as great as that in the early-caught fish. Separate proximate analyses of the flesh, skin, and bone disclosed significant changes in the percentages of fat, protein, and minerals in these components between the beginning and end of the season.

Composite Samples

Samples of canned coho (blueback) salmon (Oncorhynchiis kisutch), from fish caught each month of the fishing season (May-September) in a limited area on the coast of British Columbia, were subjected to analysis from which nutritive values were determined by the calculation of calorific values. The average percentages of constituents in composite samples of the entire contents were: water, 72.8; fat, 4.50; protein, 19.9; sodium chloride-free ash, 1.37; sodium chloride, 1.13; calorific value per pound of contents, 562. Percentages of fat, protein, sodium chloride-free minerals, and consequently the food value, reached a maximum in cans containing fish caught in mid-July.

Composite Samples

The proximate compositions and calculated calorific values of individual and composite samples of canned sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) and pink (O. gorbuscha) salmon from fish caught in several localities on the British Columbia coast are compared. The resulting data are also presented in such a way as to allow comparison of the composition and energy content of the various constituents in the can, some of which are frequently discarded in the utilization of canned salmon. The average percentages of the total oil, protein, salt (sodium chloride)-free minerals, and Calories contributed by the different constituents in the samples were respectively: flesh—(sockeye) 62, (pink) 72; 85, 81; 55, 54; 73, 78; skin—(sockeye) 11.2, (pink) 15.3; 3.6, 4.3; 9.8, 6.7; 7.7, 9.0; free aqueous liquor—(sockeye) 0, (pink) 0; 11, 14; 5, 7; 4, 8; free oil—(oil) 26, 10; (Calories) 15, 4; bone—(salt-free minerals) 30.2, 32.6. Corresponding average percentage compositions of composite samples of entire contents were: water—(sockeye) 68.6, (pink) 71.5; oil—8.82, 6.75; protein—20.2, 19.3; salt-free minerals—1.57, 1.57. The average energy contents were (sockeye) 749, (pink) 644 Calories per pound. Comparison with published analyses of canned sockeye and pink salmon from Alaska and Washington indicated that more extensive and detailed sampling will be necessary before conclusions can be drawn regarding the comparative compositions and food values of canned British Columbia salmons, and the relation of these values to those of salmon caught to the north and south.

Composite Samples

Ashes of composite samples of canned sockeye, pink and blueback salmon and canned pilchard were analyzed for Ca, Mg, Na, Ka P. Cl, S and traces of Cu and Mn. Comparison of the relative amounts of these elements with their concentration in sea water indicates selective absorption of Ca and K over Mg and Na respectively. The presence of Cu and Mn in trades is important for dietetic purposes.

The total oil in samples of canned British Columbia sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) and pink (O. gorbuscha) salmon, each from three different localities, contained respectively 50, 67, 67 and 50, 67, 67 international units of vitamin D per gram, equivalent to average contents of 1700 and 880 international units in the oil per pound of contents for the sockeye and pink samples respectively. The oil in the cans of sockeye salmon from two of the localities contained approximately 2.5 and 2.0 A.D.M.A. units of vitamin A per gram respectively. A composite sample of the oil in all the cans of pink salmon contained no appreciable amount of vitamin A. Several physical and chemical characteristics of the oil samples are given.

Spatial structures of larval fish in the Strait of Georgia (British Columbia, Canada) were quantified in the springs of 2009 and 2010 to investigate linkages to environmental heterogeneity at multiple scales. By applying a multiscale approach, principal coordinate neighborhood matrices, spatial variability was decomposed into three predefined scale categories: broad scale (>40 km), medium scale (20∼40 km), and fine scale (<20 km). Spatial variations in larval density of the three dominant fish taxa with different early life histories (Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii), Pacific hake (Merluccius productus), and northern smoothtongue (Leuroglossus schmidti)) were mainly structured at broad and medium scales, with scale-dependent associations with environmental descriptors varying interannually and among species. Larval distributions in the central-southern Strait were mainly associated with salinity, temperature, and vertical stability of the top 50 m of the water column on the medium scale. Our results emphasize the critical role of local estuarine circulation, especially at medium spatial scale, in structuring hierarchical spatial distributions of fish larvae in the Strait of Georgia and suggest the role of fundamental differences in life-history traits in influencing the formation and maintenance of larval spatial structures.
