The occurrence of a greater females proportion compared to males in a fish population is also reported by Mazzoni and Silva (2006) in Bryconamericus
microcephalus, having found a sex ratio of 2.20:1 (female:male).

These fisheries include the crab fisheries (which target red king crab, Paralithodes camtschaticus; blue king crab, Paralithodes platypus; golden king crab, Lithodes aequispinus; opilio crab, Chionoecetes opilio; and Tanner crab, Chionoecetes bairdi), the rockfish fishery (which catches mainly rougheye, Sebastes aleutianus; short-raker, Sebastes borealis; and thorny-head, Sebastolobus alascanus), the non-pollock trawl catcher-processor fleet (which targets mainly Pacific cod, Gadus
microcephalus; yellowfin sole, Limanda aspera; flathead sole, Hippoglossoides elassodon; rock sole, Lepidopsetta bilineata; and Atka mackerel, Pleurogrammus monopterygius), and many other fisheries which remain in legacy management.
This SI5N value is also higher than that reported for marine fish from the Arctic, including top predators such as the Greenland shark (Somniosus
microcephalus) (McMeans et al., 2013).
microcephalus were collected in 2013, one collected from Puget Sound and the other from Unimak Pass in the northern Gulf of Alaska (see details for all collections in Table 1).
In some cases, most often in bilateral presentations, additional systemic/nonocular defects such as clef lip or basal encephalocele, agenesis of the corpus callosum, midbrain deformity,
microcephalus, and saddle nose have been observed.

Sperm whales (Physeter

Tests have revealed the Greenland shark (Somn/osus
microcephalus) can live for at least 272 years, which so far is considerably longer than any other vertebrate we know of.
