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 Objective Shark depredation, the full or partial consumption of a hooked fish by shark before it is landed, an increasing source human–wildlife conflict in recreational fisheries. Reports depredation catch‐and‐release Tarpon (also known as Atlantic Tarpon) Megalops atlanticus fishery Florida Keys are increasing, specifically Bahia Honda, fishing hot spot and putative prespawning aggregation site. Methods Using visual surveys we quantified rates drivers depredation. With acoustic...
Abstract Acoustic telemetry is a popular tool for long‐term tracking of aquatic animals to describe and quantify patterns movement, space use, diverse ecological interactions. receivers are imperfect sampling instruments, their detection range ( DR ; the area surrounding receiver in which tag transmissions can be detected) often varies dramatically over time due dynamic environmental conditions. Therefore, it prudent account variation prevent system performance from confounding understanding...
Abstract Data from the Integrated Tracking of Aquatic Animals in Gulf Mexico (iTAG) network, and sister networks, were used to evaluate fish movements Florida Keys—an extensive reef ecosystem just north Cuba connecting Atlantic Ocean Mexico. We analysed ~2 million detections for 23 species, ranging such as Nassau grouper ( Epinephelus striatus , Serranidae) migratory apex predators white sharks Carcharodon carcharias Lamnidae). To facilitate comparisons across we an eco‐evolutionary movement...
Recreational fisheries can be prone to severe declines, yet these fisheries, particularly catch-and-release, are often data-limited, constraining our ability conduct stock assessments. A combination of catch and effort indices derived from fisheries-dependent data (FDD) gathered fishing logbooks could a powerful approach inform gaps. This study demonstrates the utility using different metrics such as abundance, species richness associated with reported catch, success rate targeted trips,...
Abstract Animal movement and resource use are essential considerations for effective environmental management, but they challenging to quantify in expansive natural ecosystems such as oceans. We used a novel combination of fish tracking with acoustic telemetry networks, stable isotope analysis integrated modelling techniques characterize the spatial trophic ecology marine species, permit Trachinotus falcatus , address specific management needs Florida Keys. Tracking‐based patterns indicated...
Abstract Interspecific interactions can play an essential role in shaping wildlife populations and communities. To date, assessments of interspecific interactions, more specifically predator–prey dynamics, aquatic systems over broad spatial temporal scales (i.e., hundreds kilometers multiple years) are rare due to constraints on our abilities measure effectively at those scales. We applied new methods identify space‐use overlap potential predation risk Atlantic tarpon ( Megalops atlanticus )...
Abstract Embracing local knowledge is vital to conserve and manage biodiversity, yet frameworks do so are lacking. We need understand which, how many holders needed ensure that management recommendations arising from not skewed towards the most vocal individuals. Here, we apply a Wisdom of Crowds framework data-poor recreational catch-and-release fishery, where individuals interact with natural resources in different ways. aimed test whether estimates fishing quality diverse groups (multiple...
The effects of infrequent disturbance events on marine fishes are often difficult to determine, due largely lack sufficient pre- and post-disturbance event data. In January 2010, subtropical southwestern Florida (USA) experienced extreme cold for 13 days, which caused extensive mortality many fish species. effect this severe common snook (Centropomus undecimalis), an economically important gamefish, was assessed using three years (2007-2009) pre-event one year (2010) post-event data from a...
