Abstract. The limited available evidence about effects on marine fishes of high CO2 and associated acidification oceans suggests that will differ across species, be subtle, may interact with other stressors. This report is the responses an array early life history features summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus), ecologically economically important flatfish inshore nearshore waters Mid-Atlantic Bight (USA), to experimental manipulation levels. Relative survival embryos in local ambient...
Major invasions of Indo-Pacific lionfish ( Pterois volitans and P. miles ) are underway in the Western Atlantic Ocean Mediterranean Sea. While establishment is perhaps most well-studied marine fish invasion to date, rapidly expanding more recent has received less attention. Here we review synthesize successes failures from two decades management give policy recommendations for their Mediterranean. Two failed approaches that were attempted multiple times advise against (1) feeding native...
Killifish, grass shrimp, fiddler crabs, blue and young bluefish in contaminated estuaries differ ecologically from reference populations relatively uncontaminated environments. All five of these species show reduced activity feeding, but only fishes growth. In areas, killifish are poor predators, eat much detritus, have predator avoidance, smaller less abundant. Bluefish rates feeding Both altered thyroid glands neurotransmitters, which may underlie behavioral changes. Shrimp environments...
Abstract. The limited available evidence about effects of high CO2 and acidification our oceans on fish suggests that will differ across species, be subtle, interact with other stressors. An experimental framework was implemented includes the use (1) multiple marine species relevance to northeastern USA in their ecologies including spawning season habitat; (2) a wide yet realistic range environmental conditions (i.e., concurrent manipulation levels water temperatures), (3) diverse set...
Managing invasive Indo-Pacific lionfish (Pterois volitans and P. miles) in the Western Atlantic Ocean is beyond capacity of natural resource organizations alone. In response, have mobilized members public citizen scientists to help. We used a structured survey assess activities perceptions 71 that engage research management throughout invaded range Atlantic. Five case studies were also conducted exemplified varied multi-pronged approaches engagement control, monitoring, knowledge-sharing....
Dispersal of eggs and larvae from spawning sites is critical to the population dynamics conservation marine fishes. For overfished species like critically endangered Nassau grouper ( Epinephelus striatus ), recovery depends on fate spawned at few remaining aggregation sites. Biophysical models can predict larval dispersal, yet these rely assumed values key parameters, such as diffusion mortality rates, which have historically been difficult or impossible estimate. We used in situ imaging...
