Longfin Mojarra (Pentaprion longimanus) locally named as rengganis, is a demersal fish species that is commonly caught in Scottish seine fisheries off the north coast of Java. The fisheries are in heavily harvest level since decades. The aim of this study was to observe the biological aspects of this species. Observations were made between August 2014-July 2015 from Tegal fishing port, western part of north coast central Java. General life-history parameters were measured, i.e., monthly length frequency for 1876 fishes, among them 573 specimens were observed for length-weight relationship, including 541 specimens for sex ratio and maturity stages. Fulton index, Gonadosomatic index, sex ratio and estimated length at first mature were analyzed.

P. 97310 Mérida, Yucatán, México. *[email protected], **[email protected] Resumen.- La alta salinidad de las lagunas hiperhalinas las convierte en hábitats extremos para los organismos acuáticos, poniendo presión sobre sus adaptaciones fisiológicas especiales. Gerreidae es una familia de peces de amplia distribución y abundancia en las lagunas costeras, muy importantes para la función del ecosistema y las pesquerías. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar y comparar la ecología trófica de 2 especies de mojarra en la laguna hiperhalina (> 50) de Ría Lagartos, Yucatán, para proporcionar evidencia sobre la importancia de este hábitat sobre su crecimiento y requerimientos tróficos. Las muestras fueron colectadas bimensualmente durante un ciclo anual (2004-2005). Un total de 920 ejemplares de Eucinostomus argenteus (493) y E. gula (427) fueron colectados. Los componentes tróficos fueron analizados usando el Índice de Importancia Relativa (IIR) y análisis multivariados. Las mojarras fueron definidas como consumidores de segundo orden, alimentándose de anélidos, microcrustáceos (anfípodos, copépodos, tanaidáceos, ostrácodos) y cantidades significantes de detritus con variaciones en proporción y frecuencia de acuerdo a la disponibilidad del alimento. Ambas especies compartieron los mismos recursos alimenticios, sin embargo se observaron diferencias ontogenéticas con variaciones espaciales y temporales, que con ello se evita la competencia interespecífica.

  • Recycled Fish Sculpture (.PDF)
    Recycled Fish Sculpture Name:__________ Fish: are a paraphyletic group of organisms that consist of all gill-bearing aquatic vertebrate animals that lack limbs with digits. At 32,000 species, fish exhibit greater species diversity than any other group of vertebrates. Sculpture: is three-dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard materials—typically stone such as marble—or metal, glass, or wood. Softer ("plastic") materials can also be used, such as clay, textiles, plastics, polymers and softer metals. They may be assembled such as by welding or gluing or by firing, molded or cast. Researched Photo Source: Alaskan Rainbow STEP ONE: CHOOSE one fish from the attached Fish Names list. Trout STEP TWO: RESEARCH on-line and complete the attached K/U Fish Research Sheet. STEP THREE: DRAW 3 conceptual sketches with colour pencil crayons of possible visual images that represent your researched fish. STEP FOUR: Once your fish designs are approved by the teacher, DRAW a representational outline of your fish on the 18 x24 and then add VALUE and COLOUR . CONSIDER: Individual shapes and forms for the various parts you will cut out of recycled pop aluminum cans (such as individual scales, gills, fins etc.) STEP FIVE: CUT OUT using scissors the various individual sections of your chosen fish from recycled pop aluminum cans. OVERLAY them on top of your 18 x 24 Representational Outline 18 x 24 Drawing representational drawing to judge the shape and size of each piece. STEP SIX: Once you have cut out all your shapes and forms, GLUE the various pieces together with a glue gun.

  • Safe Weekly Amounts of Mercury in Fish
    Safe weekly amounts of mercury in fish Florida testing for mercury in a variety of fish is helpful for calculating the amount of seafood a person can eat, and still stay within the EPA Reference Dose for mercury – the amount of mercury a person can consume on a continuing basis without fear of ill effects. Safe amounts of fish are calculated by weekly doses. Amounts are cumulative; each meal must be counted against the weekly reference dose. Mercury amounts vary from fish to fish, and the averages below should serve only as guidelines. How to use the chart When calculating weekly allowances of fish, refer to the box closest to your weight and see the safe amount in ounces (a typical serving of fish is about 6 ounces). For instance, if you weigh 150 pounds you should limit yourself to 4.6 ounces per week of Red Grouper. For Snook you could eat no more than 4.2 ounces per week. To eat more than one kind of fish or more than one fish meal per week, you would want to select species with high allowances, such as mullet (72.4 ounces per week) or sand bream (22.4 ounces).

St. Petersburg, Florida 33701 ABSTRACT Studiesof reproductivebiology in seagrassesof the southeasternUnited States have addressed descriptive morphologyand anatomy,reproductive physiology, seed occurrence,and germination.Halodale wrightii Aschers.,Halophila engelmannii Aschers., Syringodium filiforme Kutz., and Thalassiatestudiaum Banks ex Konig are dioecious;Halophila decipiens Ostenfeld and Ruppiamaritima L. are monoecious.In Halophila johrtsoaii Eiseman, only fernale flowers are known. With the exception of R, maritima, which has hydroanemophilouspollination, these species have hydrophilous pollination. Recent reproductive-ecology studiessuggest that reproductivepatterns are due to phenoplasticresponses and/or geneticadaptation to physico-chemicalenvironmental conditions.

Checklist of the Inland Fishes of Louisiana Abstract Since the publication of Freshwater Fishes of Louisiana (Douglas, 1974) and a revised checklist (Douglas and Jordan, 2002), much has changed regarding knowledge of inland fishes in the state. An updated reference on Louisiana’s inland and coastal fishes is long overdue. Inland waters of Louisiana are home to at least 224 species (165 primarily freshwater, 28 primarily marine, and 31 euryhaline or diadromous) in 45 families. This checklist is based on a compilation of fish collections records in Louisiana from 19 data providers in the Fishnet2 network (www.fishnet2.net).

The authors would like to acknowledge the following persons who contributed to this work: Anthony J. Janicki, Raymond Pribble, and Heidi L. Crevison, Janicki Environmental, Inc. ii Anclote Salinity Tolerances October 2003 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Seawater desalination plays a major role in Tampa Bay Water’s Master Water Plan. At this time, two seawater desalination plants are envisioned. One is currently in operation producing up to 25 MGD near Big Bend on Tampa Bay. A second plant is conceptualized near the mouth of the Anclote River in Pasco County, with a 9 to 25 MGD capacity, and is currently in the design phase. The Tampa Bay Water desalination plant at Big Bend on Tampa Bay utilizes a reverse osmosis process to remove salt from seawater, yielding drinking water. That same process is under consideration for the facilities Tampa Bay Water has under design near the Anclote River.
