SERCHUK and DAVID W. FRAME SEATTLE, WA May 1973 NOAA TECHNICAL REPORTS National Marine Fisheries Service, Special Scientific Report-Fisheries Series The major responsibilities of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are to monitor and assess the abundance and geographic distribution of fishery resources, to understand and predict fluctuations in the quantity and distribution of these resources, and to establish levels for optimum use of the resources. NMFS is also charged with the development and implementation of policies for managing national fishing grounds, develop- ment and enforcement of domestic fisheries regulations, surveillance of foreign fishing off' United States coastal waters, and the development and enforcement of international fishery agreements and policies. NMFS also as- sists the fishing industry through marketing service and economic analysis programs, and mortgage insurance and vessel construction subsidies. It collects, analyzes, and publishes statistics on various phases of the industry. The Special Scientific Report—Fisheries series was established in 1949. The series carries reports on scien- scientific tific investigations that document long-term continuing programs of NMFS, or intensive reports on studies of restricted scope. The reports may deal with applied fishery problems. The series is also used as a medium for the publication of bibliographies of a specialized scientific nature. NOAA Technical Reports NMFS SSRF are available free in limited numbers to governmental agencies, both Federal and State. They are also available in exchange for other scientific and technical publications in the marine sciences. Individual copies may be obtained (unless otherwise noted) from NOAA Publications Section, Rockville, Md. 20852.

    EVOLUTION OF CYCLOOXYGENASE IN THE CHORDATES By JUSTIN CHASE HAVIRD A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2008 1 © 2008 Justin Chase Havird 2 To the teachers who inspired, directed, and challenged me. My high school marine biology teacher, Larry Joye, first introduced me to the fascinating world of life in the water and since then my endeavors have never strayed far from it. Dr. David Evans enthusiastically welcomed me into his lab as an undergraduate, although I had no former research experience. What started as a part-time project soon evolved into an academic career as I was given the opportunity to conduct original research. During this time, Dr. Keith Choe was an invaluable asset and inspiration. Growing from this original partnership, I continued working with David on my master’s research and he has always supported my academic and research endeavors; I cannot envision a better advisor. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I most of all thank my supervisory committee chair, Dr. David H. Evans. Although David was nearing retirement and had resolved to not accept any new students, he welcomed me as a graduate student without any hesitation. He has guided me in developing research strategies, implementing those strategies, and interpreting the results. He has always supported my projects and none of them would have been accomplished without his enthusiasm. I also thank my supervisory committee members for their commitment to my research and their willingness to share their expertise.

MOLECULAR AND IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL IDENTIFICATION OF A SODIUM HYDROGEN EXCHANGER-2C (NHE2C) PARALOG IN THE GILLS OF MARINE LONGHORN SCULPIN (MYOXOCEPHALUS OCTODECEMSPINOSUS) by DEMI BRETT RABENECK (Under the Direction of James B. Claiborne) ABSTRACT Sodium hydrogen exchanger proteins (NHEs) are members of the cation proton antiporter superfamily (CPA) and are thought to function in fish for maintaining physiological ion concentrations and acid-base balances by excreting excess H+ ions from the body in exchange for Na+ ions. There are many more types of these proteins in teleost fish than in mammals due to putative genome duplication. This study describes a new form of NHE2 in the gills of marine longhorn sculpin, Myoxocephalus octodecemspinosus, designated NHE2c.

  • Tautoga Onitis Common Name: Tautog (Black Fish)
    Species Status Assessment Class: Actinopterygii Family: Labridae Scientific Name: Tautoga onitis Common Name: Tautog (Black fish) Species synopsis: Tautog, also referred to as black fish, range along the mid-Atlantic Bight from Nova Scotia to South Carolina (Bigelow and Schroeder 1953). In New York, this species can be found in the Hudson River estuary, New York Bight and Long Island Sound. Tautog prefer areas with good shelter for protection, and are found around rock reefs, rocky outcrops, shellfish beds, gravel, eelgrass beds, and kelp or sea lettuce (Ulva lactuca) beds (Steimle and Shaheen 1999). Since the mid-1980s, tautog populations have been exposed to intensive recreational and commercial fishing (ASMFC 2011). In 1996, the Atlantic States Marine Fishery Commission drafted an interstate fishery management plan for tautog to reduce fishing mortality rates and increase recruitment (ASMFC 1996). I. Status a.

Approximately ninety percent of the recorded landings have come from recreational fishing although the commercial harvest of tautog for the live market is heavily under-reported. There has been a decline of 60% in recorded landings (ASMFC 2006). An intensive stock assessment confirmed that fishing mortality was above recommended levels (ASMFC 2006). II.

  • Dietary Guild Structure of the Fish Community in the Northeast United States Continental Shelf Ecosystem
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 202: 231–240, 2000 Published August 28 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Dietary guild structure of the fish community in the Northeast United States continental shelf ecosystem Lance P. Garrison*, Jason S. Link National Marine Fisheries Service, Northeast Fisheries Science Center, 166 Water St., Woods Hole, Massachusetts 02543, USA ABSTRACT: Trophic guild analysis identifies groups of species that use similar resources within a community. We evaluated the trophic guild structure in an assemblage of 40 fish species in the North- east United States shelf ecosystem using a 25 yr database of food habits. We explicitly accounted for ontogenetic diet shifts by separating predator species into size classes. There were 14 significant trophic guilds. These distinguished predators based upon prey size and location in the water column (i.e., benthic to pelagic feeding). Ontogenetic diet shifts were important in guild structure, particu- larly within dominant piscivores. The mean dietary overlap both between and within guilds was notably lower than in other fish communities due to the broad spatial and temporal scale of the study, the diversity of prey types consumed, and the generalist nature of predators in this system. The guild concept is a useful framework to simplify highly connected, complex ecosystems like the Northeast US continental shelf and identify ecologically similar functional units.
