Abstract Oogenesis in fishes follows a universal plan; yet, due to differences the synchrony and rate of egg development, spawning frequency varies from daily once lifetime. Some species spawn feed separate areas, during different seasons, by storing energy drawing on it later for reproduction (i.e. capital breeding). Other using acquired locally, throughout prolonged season, allocating directly income Capital breeders tend ovulate all at are more likely be distributed boreal latitudes....
Abstract We assessed the taxonomic diversity, geographic distributions, life history, ecology and fisheries of tarpons, ladyfishes bonefishes (members subdivision Elopomorpha), which share many history habitat use characteristics that make them vulnerable to environmental anthropogenic stresses in coastal environments. This assessment Red List status for International Union Conservation Nature reveals three species considered near threatened or vulnerable, least concern, 11 data‐deficient...
Abstract Ocean waters of the Northeast US continental shelf have warmed rapidly in recent years, with sea surface temperatures rising 2.5 times faster than those global oceans. With this strong warming trend, frequency and duration marine heatwaves increased. These temperature changes stood out as a distinct warm regime during 2010s. During decade, fish population characteristics also differed from past. Species distribution shifts were detected for many species, demonstrating one way...
Abstract European anchovy egg occurrence and density data from summer surveys (1998–2007) oceanographic were examined to study the mechanisms that control spatial distribution of spawning habitat in S trait icily. Quotient analysis indicated preference for temperature (18–19°C), bottom depth (50–100 m), water column stability (13–14 cycle h −1 ), fluorescence (0.10–0.15 μ g m −3 Chl a salinity (37.5–37.6 PSU current speed (0.20–0.25 s ) (26.7–26.8 kg , σ t ). Canonical discriminant...

Measuring fish condition should link ecosystem drivers with population dynamics, if the underlying physiological basis for variations in indices are understood. We evaluated traditional (K, K n , hepatosomatic index, gonadosomatic energy density, and percent dry weight of muscle (%DWM) liver (%DWL)) newer (bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) scaled mass index (SMI)) to track seasonal cycles three flatfishes — winter founder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus; stocks), yellowtail flounder...
Gonad histology complements research on the life history of fish species and provides greater accuracy precision than macroscopic characterization gonad for determining patterns oogenesis at cellular level maturation individual level. In a fishery context, improves estimation mature spawning stock biomass, identification seasonality grounds, preselection specimens calculation annual fecundity. However, in most studies, only single staining method (hematoxylin eosin) has been used. this study...
Black sea bass (Centropristis striata) feed on epibenthic prey, particularly decapods, and become more piscivorous as they grow larger, a trend that has energetic consequences for growth. In the coming decades, construction of wind energy systems will expose black to large-scale manipulation continental shelf habitats in northeastern United States. this study, we tested effects habitat type (natural versus artificial reef habitats) size, age, growth, diet, trophic dynamics bass, using 407...

Abstract This article documents the addition of 171 microsatellite marker loci and 27 pairs single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sequencing primers to Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for following species: Bombus pauloensis , Cephalorhynchus heavisidii Cercospora sojina Harpyhaliaetus coronatus Hordeum vulgare Lachnolaimus maximus Oceanodroma monteiroi Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici Rhea americana Salmo salar trutta Schistocephalus solidus Sousa plumbea...
Abstract In a typical age and growth study, multiple estimates of individual fish are generated: by readers, methods, etc. These samples paired data evaluated with three complementary approaches: (i) tabulate or graph the to illustrate patterns, (ii) calculate indices precision evaluate repeatability, more recently, (iii) use tests symmetry bias. Herein, I simulated diagnostic power these different approaches in terms four types accuracy: no bias between known estimated age, adding 1 year...
Analyses of life-history data show that both the size-specific batch fecundities and age-specific spawning frequencies differ for two halfbeak species, Hemiramphus brasiliensis, ballyhoo, H. balao, balao. Halfbeak ages were determined from sectioned otoliths; histological was used to describe oocyte development estimate frequency; fecundity measured counts whole oocytes in final maturation. brasiliensis lived longer (4 versus 2 years) had a higher survival rate (14.9% 7.5% annually) than...
v This paper describes Elops smithi, n. sp., and designates a lectotype for E. saurus. These two species can be separated from the five other of by combination vertebrae gillraker counts. Morphologically, they distinguished each only myomere (larvae) or (adults) smithi has 73–80 centra (total number vertebrae), usually with 75–78 centra; saurus 79–87 centra, 81–85 centra. No morphological character is known to separate saurus, but sequence divergence in mtDNA cytochrome b (d = 0.023–0.029)...
The seasonality, size, age, colour phases and sexual dimorphism of 13 reproductive classes hogfish Lachnolaimus maximus are described. Analysis histological sections gonads ( n = 1662) confirmed earlier conclusions that L. is a monandric, protogynous hermaphrodite. Sex change was initiated at the end spawning season over broad range sizes ages. It occurred after functional female phase (postmaturation) proceeded more slowly (months) than previously believed. Eventually all individuals...
Generalized additive models were used to investigate fine-scale spatial variation in female maturity across the three United States’ winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus) stocks. The effect of temperature on was also investigated. Maturity explicitly incorporating structure performed better than “traditional” methods effects by aggregating data according predefined stock boundaries. Models including explained more variability those based only fish size or age but did not improve...
Interactions between spatial dynamics and stock structure in marine fishes have largely focused on stocks decline; is rarely re-visited for expanding species. Here, the ecology of Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus L.), managed as four Northwest Atlantic, reviewed. Halibut collapsed under high exploitation mid-19th century, but Canadian fisheries value has increased seven-fold since early 2000s. halibut's thermal habitat due to warming, possibly contributing its expansion. Genomic...
Cating's method of using scales to age American shad (Alosa sapidissima) has been the standard for more than 50 years. However, only validation this is ages 4–6 in Connecticut River. To test these—and older—age classes another river, we obtained from 52 known-age fish two Pennsylvania rivers and had 13 experienced biologists estimate method. Each biologist read scale impressions twice, these readings were then assessed terms precision, accuracy, bias. Percent agreement between estimates same...
Wahoo, Acanthocybium solandri, constitute an economically important fishery for many coastal nations, but assessment of this living marine resource is hampered by a lack basic life history information. The present study demonstrates that wahoo in the western North Atlantic Ocean are short lived, grow rapidly their first year, achieve very large size, and have high mortality rates. largest individuals were female sex ratio was significantly female-biased (298 females: 223 males: 54 unknown...
