The most controversial fishery in U.S. waters of the Gulf Mexico (Gulf) is for northern red snapper Lutjanus campechanus, which collapsed late 1980s when stock biomass became too low to be fished commercially eastern Gulf. Red management began 1989; now showing signs recovery. Fishery Management Council has been slow sufficiently reduce catches directed fisheries rebuild a timely fashion, although compliance with Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act 2006 (MSRA) required substantial cuts...
Abstract Campbell, M. D., Patino, R., Tolan, J., Strauss, and Diamond, S. L. 2010. Sublethal effects of catch-and-release fishing: measuring capture stress, fish impairment, predation risk using a condition index. – ICES Journal Marine Science, 67: 513–521. The sublethal simulated red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) were analysed physiological responses, indexing, performance variables. Simulated fishing included combinations depth thermocline exposure reflective environmental conditions...
Abstract Red Snapper Lutjanus campechanus is the most economically important reef fish in Gulf of Mexico, and despite being intensively managed, stock remains overfished. These are susceptible to pressure‐related injuries (i.e., barotrauma) during fishing that compromise survival after catch release. Barotrauma‐afflicted may not only experience immediate mortality but also delayed returning depth. This variability unknown fate leads uncertainty assessment models rebuilding plans. To generate...
Abstract Red Snapper Lutjanus campechanus are the most economically important reef fish in Gulf of Mexico and a heavily targeted fishery. When brought to surface from deep water, this species often suffers pressure‐related injuries collectively known as barotrauma. This trauma results high discard mortality has affected recovery In laboratory experiments using hyperbaric chambers, we assessed sublethal effects barotrauma subsequent survival rates after capture events pressures corresponding...
We used stage-within-age based matrix models of Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus) in the Gulf Mexico and South Mid-Atlantic bights to explore population-level impacts shrimp trawl bycatch on estuarine-dependent fishes investigate tradeoffs between directed adult fisheries mortality. The model reflected a rapidly declining population, while population showed modest decline. Elasticity analyses indicated that both populations were more sensitive summed survival adults than first-year...
Abstract The ability of fish to submerge after discarding is often used as a proxy for survival, but this practice underestimates total discard mortality because delayed overlooked. Fishery managers need way link “sink or swim” indicators, variables observed during capture and release, with rates. We conducted cage study red snapper Lutjanus campechanus off the coast Texas estimate rates find factors that could immediate mortality. Immediate (17%) was predicted by interaction depth...
Abstract Predicting the effects of contaminants on fish populations is difficult due to their complex life history and high interannual variation in population abundances. We present an approach that extrapolates laboratory data contaminant effects, including behavioral level by using a series nested statistical simulation models. The illustrated PCB Atlantic croaker. Laboratory experiments were performed estimated fecundity, egg mortality, swimming speed predator evasion behavior larvae. A...

Bycatch in shrimp trawl fisheries can make up 60–80% of the catch by weight. Finfish taken incidentally trawls include juveniles species that are valuable directed as adults. Atlantic croaker Micropogonias undulatus is commonly caught bycatch and has also been a target both Gulf Mexico (the Gulf) South Middle bights Atlantic). The croaker, including bycatch, historically at least three times higher than Atlantic. fisheries, industrial fishery, have primarily harvested juvenile fish. In...
Marine reserves have not been widely used to conserve mobile species because abundance levels can be highly variable over space and time. Here we explore the potential for marine reduce bycatch of using red snapper ( Lutjanus campechanus ) as a case study. Bycatch in Gulf Mexico shrimp trawls is major source juvenile mortality, may mandated if reduction targets are met. Using geographic information system (GIS) analyses fishery-independent data, investigated whether juveniles concentrate...
Abstract Implanting internal acoustic tags is often a preferred method for tracking fish; however, this procedure can present issues with respect to surgical incision that affect experimental design. This particularly the case when testing effects of barotrauma, where an tag would inadvertently “vent” fish, precluding “unvented” or control treatment. The rise barotrauma experimentation has increased need methods facilitating Here, we develop and test novel technique externally attach tags,...
Knowledge of reproductive biology and life-history traits populations exploited by fisheries is important for their sustainable management. We investigated the Trichiurus lepturus (largehead hairtail) in south-eastern Australia; a region low exploitation this otherwise heavily circumglobal species, to investigate whether there were differences south-east Australian population compared with those other regions. also used histological sections examine male female gonads at microscopic level....
The age, growth rates and length to weight relationships for the south-eastern Australian population of largehead hairtail (Trichiurus lepturus) were investigated first time. Age was estimated by counting annuli in sectioned sagittal otoliths, with a maximum age 8 years males females. We found no significant differences females over size (12–78 cm pre-anal (PL)) (0–8 years) ranges sampled. However, our collection larger on average than males, all fish sampled >60 PL female, suggesting that...
We propose deterministic discrete-time, discrete stage-structured population models with harvesting to investigate persistence and extinction. The mathematical analysis is centered around the inherent net reproductive number of population. apply data red snapper in Gulf Mexico simulate models. use test for a hypothesis proposed by marine biologists adding stochastic component systems that simulating pulses early juveniles from other populations. conclude although populations can contribute...
