Abstract The ability of larval fish to find prey items in sufficient quantities plays an important role determining survivorship. To understand trophic niche partitioning and the potential for competition, we analyzed morphology digestive tract content larvae three co-occurring, sciaenid species: Cynoscion nothus, Larimus fasciatus Micropogonias undulatus. Larvae were collected north-western Gulf Mexico off Galveston, TX, at seven stations October/November 2017. Intra- interspecific diet...
Abstract Fall is an important time of year for fish recruitment in the Gulf Mexico, with many commercially and recreationally species spawning during this period. Changes temperature salinity regimes through seasonally abnormal freshwater input may change patterns displace larvae. Such event occurred off coast Galveston Bay, Texas, when a flood plume formed from unprecedented rainfall related to Hurricane Harvey at end August 2017. This study investigated effects large‐scale on larval...
