Abstract Climate change impacts physical and chemical properties of the oceans, these changes affect ecology marine organisms. One important ecological consequence climate is distribution shift species toward higher latitudes. Here, prevalence nearly 150 fish invertebrates were investigated to find in their distributions over 35 years along a subtropical coast within Gulf Mexico. Our results show that 90 increased occupancy probability, while 33 decreased (remaining neither increase or...
The Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) Bottom Longline (BLL) survey was established to provide a nearshore complement the offshore National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) BLL survey. SEAMAP state partners (i.e., Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama) used identical gear sampling protocol NMFS; however, temporal window, universe, frequency, station selection were determined independently by each based on available resources capabilities. Although collected high...
Long-term fishery-independent surveys provide a wealth of information on fisheries stocks that inform stock assessments. One the strengths these is design and methods are consistent through time. However, maintaining an unchanged time series can pose several potential issues as management needs change resulting in need to alter either survey or its spatial extent. In United States Gulf Mexico, bottom trawl targeting groundfish shrimp (hereafter, surveys) have been conducted since 1950s, with...
Abstract Climate change is causing shifts in the geographic distributions of coastal fish species toward higher latitudes. However, local communities found latitudes today are not simply those lower past because sensitivity to various environmental conditions different. Responses differ depending on their life‐history traits such as maximum population growth rate, age maturity, and generation time these constrained by conditions. Here, we investigate associations among temporal patterns...
Climate change causes marine species to shift and expand their distributions, often leading changes in diversity. While increased biodiversity is assumed confer positive benefits on ecosystem functioning, many examples have shown that the relationship specific function studied driven by functional composition In northwestern Gulf of Mexico, tropical expansion was estuarine fish invertebrate diversity; however, it not yet known how those increases affected To address this knowledge gap, two...
This study investigated the contribution of shrimp stocks in supporting production valuable predator species. Fishery-independent data on white shrimp, brown and selected fish species (spotted seatrout, red drum, southern flounder) were collected from 1986 to 2014 by Texas Parks Wildlife Department, converted catch-per-unit effort (CPUE). Here, associations between CPUEs as predators those prey each sampled bay sampling season analyzed using co-integration analysis Partial Least Squares...
Abstract A recent increase in the abundance of snook species ( Centropomus spp.) Texas has been generally associated with a broad‐scale warming trend Texas’ inshore waters, closure commercial fishery 1987, and fairly conservative restrictions on recreational catch implemented at same time. Despite this observed abundance, little is known about complex Texas, including uncertainty changes distribution taxonomy, population structure. Here, data from long‐running fishery‐independent FIN ) set...
Introduction Local biodiversity is increasing in many temperate and subtropical waters due to climate change. It often caused by shifting fish distributions, thus the gradient, from lower higher latitudes. However, these shifts distributions do not occur uniformly across all species. Consequently, communities are only their spatial but species compositions also changing. We investigated spatiotemporal differences of bays northeastern Gulf Mexico identified that contribute temporal changes....
