  • Diet Composition of Juvenile Black Grouper (Mycteroperca Bonaci) from Coastal Nursery Areas of the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 77(3): 441–452, 2005 NOTE DIET COMPOSITION OF JUVENILE BLACK GROUPER (MYCTEROPERCA BONACI) FROM COASTAL NURSERY AREAS OF THE YUCATÁN PENINSULA, MEXICO Thierry Brulé, Enrique Puerto-Novelo, Esperanza Pérez-Díaz, and Ximena Renán-Galindo Groupers (Epinephelinae, Epinephelini) are top-level predators that influence the trophic web of coral reef ecosystems (Parrish, 1987; Heemstra and Randall, 1993; Sluka et al., 2001). They are demersal mesocarnivores and stalk and ambush preda- tors that sit and wait for larger moving prey such as fish and mobile invertebrates (Cailliet et al., 1986). Groupers contribute to the ecological balance of complex tropi- cal hard-bottom communities (Sluka et al., 1994), and thus large changes in their populations may significantly alter other community components (Parrish, 1987). The black grouper (Mycteroperca bonaci Poey, 1860) is an important commercial and recreational fin fish resource in the western Atlantic region (Bullock and Smith, 1991; Heemstra and Randall, 1993). The southern Gulf of Mexico grouper fishery is currently considered to be deteriorated and M. bonaci, along with red grouper (Epinephelus morio Valenciennes, 1828) and gag (Mycteroperca microlepis Goode and Bean, 1880), is one of the most heavily exploited fish species in this region (Co- lás-Marrufo et al., 1998; SEMARNAP, 2000). Currently, M. bonaci is considered a threatened species (Morris et al., 2000; IUCN, 2003) and has been classified as vul- nerable in U.S. waters because male biomass in the Atlantic dropped from 20% in 1982 to 6% in 1995 (Musick et al., 2000). The black grouper is usually found on irregular bottoms such as coral reefs, drop- off walls, and rocky ledges, at depths from 10 to 100 m (Roe, 1977; Manooch and Mason, 1987; Bullock and Smith, 1991; Heemstra and Randall, 1993).

In extreme cases, when fishing pressure is high, aggregations can dwindle and even cease to form, sometimes within just a few years. Whether or not they will recover and what the long-term effects on the fish population(s) might be of such declines are not yet known. We do know, however, that healthy aggregations tend to be associated with healthy fisheries. It is, therefore, important to understand and better protect this critical part of the life cycle of aggregating species to ensure that they continue to yield food and support livelihoods. Why a Handbook? As fishing technology improved in the second half of the twentieth century, engines came to replace sails and oars, the cash economy developed rapidly, and human populations and demand for seafood grew, the pressures on reef fishes for food, and especially for money, increased enormously.

In some classifications, Ambassis, Siniperca and Glaucosoma were added to the Accepted 5 May 2011 Centropomidae. In other studies, Lates + Psammoperca were excluded, restricting the family to Available online 12 May 2011 Centropomus. Recent analyses of DNA sequences did not solve the controversy, mainly due to limited taxonomic or character sampling. The present study is based on DNA sequence data from thirteen Keywords: genes (one mitochondrial and twelve nuclear markers) for 57 taxa, representative of all relevant Centropomidae species. Five of the nuclear markers are new for fish phylogenetic studies. The monophyly of Centrop- Lates Psammoperca omidae sensu Greenwood was supported by both maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of a Ambassidae concatenated data set (12,888 bp aligned). No support was found for previous morphological hypothe- Niphon spinosus ses suggesting that ambassids are closely allied to the Centropomidae.

These analyses suggested the paraphyly of the genus Liza and also that the separation of Liza, Chelon and Oedalechilus might be unnatural. Moreover, all the species of the genus Mugil plus orthologs of Crenimugil crenilabis clustered together; however, molecular analyses suggested possible introgressions in Mugil cephalus and moreover, that fish identified as Mugil curema could correspond to two different species as already shown by karyotypic analyses. Keywords: Mugilidae, grey mullets, mitochondrial DNA, Mugil cephalus, introgression. INTRODUCTION We have focused this study on Mugilid species for which both cytochrome b (cytb) and 16S rDNA mtDNA sequences The family Mugilidae, commonly referred to as grey have been already published. Their geographic distributions mullets, includes several species which have a worldwide are briefly presented here. Oedalechilus labeo is limited to distribution; they inhabit marine, estuarine, and freshwater the Mediterranean Sea and the Moroccan Atlantic coast, environments at all latitudes except the Polar Regions [1]; a whereas, Liza and Chelon inhabit also the Eastern Atlantic few spend all their lives in freshwater [2].

Layman Marine Sciences Program Department of Biological Sciences Florida International University 3000 NE 151st Street North Miami, FL 33181 Phone: 786-390-0578 Email: [email protected] Abstract In estuarine ecosystems, maintaining the proper balance of freshwater and marine inputs is essential for proper ecosystem function, and anthropogenic alterations of this balance (namely, freshwater flows into estuaries) are of particular concern to resource managers. Differences in freshwater flows and associated salinity patterns can influence biodiversity or the relative abundance of organisms. Freshwater flows are especially important to small tributaries that transverse the margin between uplands and estuaries and are important habitats for many young- of-the-year marine finfish and shellfish. Little is known, however, about the effects of these habitat alterations on trophic ecology of coastal fishes. We used stomach contents and stable isotope analysis (δ13C, δ15N) to examine the effects of freshwater flow alterations on the trophic ecology of juvenile common snook (Centropomus undecimalis) in four mangrove creeks with different freshwater flow regimes: two creeks considered ‘less degraded’ (their drainages are largely intact) and two creeks are ‘more degraded’ (drainages have been altered by development and drainage ditches).

The complex data requirements for all three species and physicochemical parameters plus sediment are the basis for a comparative assessment of the population status of mullets in Burgas Bay. An assessment of the local anthropogenic impact was also made using hydrochemical analyses. The present study aims to extend and deepen the knowledge of the population- biological characteristics of three species of mullets (Mugil cephalus, Chelon auratus and Chelon saliens) from Burgas Bay by using an ecosystem scale research to determine the degree of contamination with biogenic substances and their impact on the mullet populations. INTRODUCTION Environmental changes due to anthropogenic factors affect all parts of the plant and animal world in inland waters, seas and oceans. The Black Sea is close to the so-called "red line" beyond which ecosystem degradation processes may become irreversible. Commercial fishing is the most unfavorable factor as it directly destroys a significant part of the populations of certain species, which in terms affects all other species that are in strictly specific relationships with the intensely exploited ones.

  • (<I>Epinephelus Polyphekadion</I>) and Brown Marbled Grouper
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 83(2): 415–431, 2008 CORAL REEF PAPER DYNAMICS OF CAMOUFLAGE (EPINEPHELUS POLYPHEKADION) AND BROWN MARBLED GROUPER (EPINEPHELUS FUSCOGUTTATUS) SPAWNING AGGREGATIONS AT A REMOTE REEF SITE, SEYCHELLES Jan Robinson, Riaz Aumeeruddy, Tove Lund Jörgensen, and Marcus C. Öhman ABSTRACT Aggregations of camouflage, Epinephelus polyphekadion (Bleeker, 1849), and brown marbled grouper, Epinephelus fuscoguttatus (Forsskål, 1775), were found to overlap spatially and temporally at a reef pass site located in the outer island group of the archipelagic Seychelles. Over three spawning seasons, we investigated the spatial and temporal dynamics of aggregations using a combination of underwater visual census (UVC) surveys and trends in reproductive parameters, notably gona- dosomatic index. Interannual variation in aggregation formation was evident for both species, but was more variable in camouflage grouper. Aggregations lasted be- tween 2–3 wks, with peak abundances attained a few days prior to the new moon, soon after which aggregations quickly dispersed. Spawning within aggregations was confirmed using direct (observations of hydrated oocytes) and indirect (gonadoso- matic indices, behavior, color changes) signs. Spawning seasons were estimated at between 2 and 3-mo long, occurring between November and February, with inter- annual variation in onset and termination. Tagged camouflage grouper exhibited site fidelity on scales of weeks to months, and one individual returned to the aggre- gation the following year. The aggregations are known to fishers and are commer- cially exploited. Fisher knowledge was found to be a reliable source of information for locating aggregations. Many reef fish species form aggregations at specific times and places for the pur- pose of reproduction (Domeier and Colin, 1997).
