Jarvis Island NWR Final
Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan Unincorporated U.S. Territory, Central Pacific Ocean The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has completed the Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) and Environmental Assessment (EA) for Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge). The CCP will guide management of the Refuge for the next 15 years. The CCP and EA describe the Service’s preferred alternative for managing the Refuge and its effects on the human environment. Decision Following comprehensive review and analysis, the Service selected Alternative B in the draft EA for implementation because it is the alternative that best meets the following criteria: Achieves the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System. Achieves the purposes of the Refuge. Will be able to achieve the vision and goals for the Refuge. Maintains and restores the ecological integrity of the habitats and plant and animal populations at the Refuge. Addresses the important issues identified during the scoping process. Addresses the legal mandates of the Service and the Refuge. Is consistent with the scientific principles of sound wildlife management. Can be implemented within the projected fiscal and logistical management constraints associated with the Refuge’s remote location. As described in detail in the CCP and EA, implementing the selected alternative will have no significant impacts on any of the natural or cultural resources identified in the CCP and EA. Public Review The planning process incorporated a variety of public involvement techniques in developing and reviewing the CCP. This included three planning updates, meetings with partners, and public review and comment on the planning documents. -
Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean Volume
ISBN 0-9689167-4-x Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean (Davis Strait, Southern Greenland and Flemish Cap to Cape Hatteras) Volume One Acipenseriformes through Syngnathiformes Michael P. Fahay ii Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean iii Dedication This monograph is dedicated to those highly skilled larval fish illustrators whose talents and efforts have greatly facilitated the study of fish ontogeny. The works of many of those fine illustrators grace these pages. iv Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean v Preface The contents of this monograph are a revision and update of an earlier atlas describing the eggs and larvae of western Atlantic marine fishes occurring between the Scotian Shelf and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (Fahay, 1983). The three-fold increase in the total num- ber of species covered in the current compilation is the result of both a larger study area and a recent increase in published ontogenetic studies of fishes by many authors and students of the morphology of early stages of marine fishes. It is a tribute to the efforts of those authors that the ontogeny of greater than 70% of species known from the western North Atlantic Ocean is now well described. Michael Fahay 241 Sabino Road West Bath, Maine 04530 U.S.A. vi Acknowledgements I greatly appreciate the help provided by a number of very knowledgeable friends and colleagues dur- ing the preparation of this monograph. Jon Hare undertook a painstakingly critical review of the entire monograph, corrected omissions, inconsistencies, and errors of fact, and made suggestions which markedly improved its organization and presentation. -

Box 189, Bourg, Lou,,fana 70343 Abstract. - The diverse life history stages, abundance, and wide distributio> over a variety of habitats are attributes that expose blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus Rathbun) to nuinerous predators. An extensive literature search was undertaken on food habits of marine and estuarin,· invertebrate, and vertebrate species to identify predators of blue crab zoea, megalopae, and juveni k/adults. Ninety three species, which included invertebrates, fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals, were documented to prey upon blue crabs. An additional l l 9 sp~cies had other crab species or brachyur:m remains in their stomach contents. More fish species were identified as blue crab predators than any other taxonomic group (67), and 60 fish species were documented to prey upon unidentified crabs and/or brachyurans. -
Echidna Catenata (Chain Moray)
UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Ecology Echidna catenata (Chain Moray) Family: Muraenidae (Morays) Order: Anguilliformes (True Eels and Morays) Class: Actinopterygii (Ray-Finned Fish) Fig. 1. Chain moray, Echidna catenata. [http://claycoleman.tripod.com/id130.htm, downloaded 2 March 2016] TRAITS. Chain morays, also commonly called little banded eels (Fig. 1), typically range from a few centimetres to a maximum of 70cm (Böhlke, 2013). Their physical appearance is a long, stout, snake-like body (Fig. 2), without ventral and pectoral fins. Beginning behind the head is a continuous fin, formed from the anal, dorsal and tail fins, which includes the tail and expands midway to the belly (Humann, 1989). Its head is short with a steep profile comprising of a short and rounded snout and its eyes are either above or just at the back of its mid jaw (Böhlke, 2013). The entire body lacks scales, but is covered by a protective layer of clear mucus. With regard to colouring, chain morays have yellow eyes and bodies that are dark brown to black with asymmetrical, chain like patterns. These chain-like markings are bright yellow and can be interconnected (Humann, 1989). Since they are carnivorous, they have short, powerful jaws, but unlike other eels, their teeth are short and blunt (Fig. 3) with some being molariform (Randall, 2004).

It is widely distributed and occurs in areas ranging from Florida to the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida Keys, the western Atlantic from Bermuda and throughout the Caribbean Sea, inclusive of the Bahamas. -

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. -
