The Physiology Section of the American Fisheries Society offers this compilation of papers in the interests of information exchange only, and makes no claim as to the validity of the conclusions or recommendations presented in the papers. 2 PREFACE In the disciplines of fish biology and fisheries biology, few other subjects have experienced the growth and interest as bas the area of early life stage biology - namely, fish eggs and larvae. Its rapid rise in popularity can be seen in comparing the size, content and list of references of 1.H.S. Blaxter's chapter on fish eggs and larval development in the 1969 Fish Physiology Volume III with the specificity and diversity of an entire volume (same series, Volume XI) devoted to the subject, published in 1988. Today, one need only peruse any of the major "fish" journals and there will be a significant number of articles focusing on eggs andlor larvae. IchthyopJankton surveys and studies of larval fish ecology have become essential to fisheries and natural resource conservation and management. Egg and larval development and physiology are integral parts of studies in aquatic ecology. Early life stages of fish now serve as standard experimental models for many research fields, including poilutant effects, toxicology, pharmacology and developmental biology. It is no wonder that a call for papers for an egg symposium should elicit such a positive response. Yet our original preconception for this symposium, as part of the International Congress on the . Biology of Fishes, was to have a series of papers that would cover "egg" topics that would deal with issues, problems and research relating mostly to aquaculture (read 'hatcheries') and to salmonids. Much of the explanation for this position was due to the public and governmental concern, and thus funding, over the declining stocks of Pacific coast salmon. To our pleasant surprise, the collection of papers submitted for presentation soon made us aware that our preconception was a misconception. The international scope of interest extended far beyond our regional perspective and, in fact, reflected a full diversity of disciplines. The approximate 32 papers comprising this symposium come from 13 countries, representing four continents. Topics are international and diverse, covering a full phylogenetic range of species from freshwater, estuarine and marine habitats. Under the general heading of fish egg, there are papers on pre-fertilized oocytes and the traditional early life stages of embryos and larvae. In an atlempt to logically organize the various papers, they appeared to fall into three general categories: effects, egg quality, and development and physiology. Under the topic of effects, we examine how ex(rinsic factors such as temperature, pH, petrochemicals, mechanical shock, pathogens and transport handling affect fish eggs and larvae. The broader category of egg quality explores more intrinsic factors that include the determinants of egg size, and varied nutritional components such as lipids, proteins, and free amino acids. In the last section on egg development and physiology, topics range from traditional descriptions of development to functional studies on factors that influence egg and larval development, metabolism and physiology. The success of this symposium was the result of the combined effort ofall the contributors and their shared concern for and scientific interest in some of the most interesting critters around - fish eggs and larvae. Without them, we would not have adult fish to enjoy. Mickey Eldridge Don MacKinlay Tiburon Laboratory, Salmonid Enhancement Program NOAA US Dept.

Both sexes presented a paired reproductive tract with both sides active and asymmetric gonad development. Microscopic and macroscopic observations of the testes were consistent and indicated seasonality of spermatogenesis. The spermatocyst de - velopment pattern in mature individuals could not be assigned to any of the categories described in the literature. The ovaries−epigonal organ association was of the external type. Although all Squatinidae share a conservative morphology, they show differences across species in the func- tionality of the paired reproductive tract, seasonality of spermatogenesis, coiled spermatozoa and the presence of egg candles.

(†) Deceased SUMMARY: The southern Brazilian coast is the major fishery ground for the Brazilian sardine (Sardinella brasiliensis), a species responsible for up to 40% of marine fish catches in the region. Fish spawning and recruitment are locally influenced by seasonal advection of nutrient-rich waters from both inshore and offshore sources. Plankton communities are otherwise controlled by regenerative processes related to the oligotrophic nature of the Tropical Water from the Brazil Current. As recorded in other continental margins, zooplankton species diversity increases towards outer shelf and open ocean waters. Peaks of zooplankton biomass and ichthyoplankton abundance are frequent on the inner shelf, either at upwelling sites or off large estuarine systems. However, meandering features of the Brazil Current provide an additional mechanism of upward motion of the cold and nutrient-rich South Atlantic Central Water, increasing phyto- and zooplankton biomass and produc- tion on mid- and outer shelves. Cold neritic waters originating off Argentina, and subtropical waters from the Subtropical Convergence exert a strong seasonal influence on zooplankton and ichthyoplankton distribution towards more southern areas.

  • Comparison of an Active and a Passive Age-0 Fish Sampling Gear in a Tropical Reservoir
    Comparison of an Active and a Passive Age-0 Fish Sampling Gear in a Tropical Reservoir M. Clint Lloyd, Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture, Mississippi State University, Box 9690 Mississippi State, MS 39762 J. Wesley Neal, Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture, Mississippi State University, Box 9690 Mississippi State, MS 39762 Abstract: Age-0 fish sampling is an important tool for predicting recruitment success and year-class strength of cohorts in fish populations. In Puerto Rico, limited research has been conducted on age-0 fish sampling with no studies addressing reservoir systems. In this study, we compared the efficacy of passively-fished light traps and actively-fished push nets for sampling the limnetic age-0 fish community in a tropical reservoir. Diversity of catch between push nets and light traps were similar, although species composition of catches differed between gears (pseudo-F = 32.21, df =1,23, P < 0.001) and among seasons (pseudo-F = 4.29, df = 3,23, P < 0.006). Push-net catches were dominated by threadfin shad (Dorosoma petenense), comprising 94.2% of total catch. Conversely, light traps collected primarily channel catfish Ictalurus( punctatus; 76.8%), with threadfin shad comprising only 13.8% of the sample. Light-trap catches had less species diversity and evenness compared to push nets, consequently their efficiency may be limited to presence/ absence of species. These two gears sampled different components of the age-0 fish community and therefore, gear selection should be based on- re search goals, with push nets an ideal gear for threadfin shad age-0 fish sampling, and light traps more appropriate for community sampling.

  • The Zebrafish Anatomy and Stage Ontologies: Representing the Anatomy and Development of Danio Rerio
    Van Slyke et al. Journal of Biomedical Semantics 2014, 5:12 http://www.jbiomedsem.com/content/5/1/12 JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL SEMANTICS RESEARCH Open Access The zebrafish anatomy and stage ontologies: representing the anatomy and development of Danio rerio Ceri E Van Slyke1*†, Yvonne M Bradford1*†, Monte Westerfield1,2 and Melissa A Haendel3 Abstract Background: The Zebrafish Anatomy Ontology (ZFA) is an OBO Foundry ontology that is used in conjunction with the Zebrafish Stage Ontology (ZFS) to describe the gross and cellular anatomy and development of the zebrafish, Danio rerio, from single cell zygote to adult. The zebrafish model organism database (ZFIN) uses the ZFA and ZFS to annotate phenotype and gene expression data from the primary literature and from contributed data sets. Results: The ZFA models anatomy and development with a subclass hierarchy, a partonomy, and a developmental hierarchy and with relationships to the ZFS that define the stages during which each anatomical entity exists. The ZFA and ZFS are developed utilizing OBO Foundry principles to ensure orthogonality, accessibility, and interoperability. The ZFA has 2860 classes representing a diversity of anatomical structures from different anatomical systems and from different stages of development. Conclusions: The ZFA describes zebrafish anatomy and development semantically for the purposes of annotating gene expression and anatomical phenotypes. The ontology and the data have been used by other resources to perform cross-species queries of gene expression and phenotype data, providing insights into genetic relationships, morphological evolution, and models of human disease.

No reuse allowed without permission. 13 ABSTRACT: 14 Members of the family Gobiidae have an unusual lateral line morphology in which some 15 of the lateral line canal segments do not develop or enclose. This loss of lateral line canal segments 16 is frequently accompanied by proliferation of superficial neuromasts. Although the proliferation 17 of superficial neuromasts forms intricate patterns that have been used as a taxonomic tool to 18 identify individual gobiid species, there has never been a detailed study that has documented the 19 development of the lateral line system in gobies. The Round Goby, Neogobius melanostomus, is 20 the focus of this study because the absence of the lateral line canal segments below the eye are 21 accompanied by numerous transverse rows of superficial neuromasts.

Num espírito mais elevado, acredito que a maior parte da diversidade biológica de nosso planeta pode ser mantida e que a conservação em geral tem que ser considerada a arte do possível. Russell A. Mittermeier Falar sobre peixes é falar sobre a maior biodiversidade vivente entre os vertebrados do planeta! Das cerca de 60.000 espécies já descritas de vertebrados, 32.000 (53%) são peixes, e esse número só faz crescer ano a ano, sendo que o Brasil é um dos países que lideram novas descobertas (Nelson et al. 2016). Isso per se explicaria o porquê de dedicar uma seção especial da Revista Biodiversidade Brasileira a esse grupo. Para além de números que impressionam, a região Neotropical, que compreende os ambientes continentais do extremo sul da América do Norte (sul do México), toda a América Central e do Sul, é seguramente a mais diversa, com mais de 7.000 espécies de peixes reconhecidas (Albert & Reis 2011).
