  • <I>Lolliguncula Brevis</I>
    OCCURRENCE OF THE SQUID, LOLLIGUNCULA BREVIS, IN SOME COASTAL WATERS OF WESTERN FLORIDN ALEXANDER DRAGOVICH Tropical Atlantic Biological Laboratory, Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, lVfiami AND JOHN A. KELLY, JR. Biological Laboratory, Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, St. Petersburg Beach, Florida ABSTRACT Lolliguncula brevis (Blainville) is the dominant cephalopod in the Tampa Bay and Charlotte Harbor-Pine Island Sound areas of west Florida. Distribution and seasonal occurrence of the species are discussed. The temperature and salinity ranges at which squid occurred were 12.6 to 31.6°C and 18.19 to 36.15%c. The majority of the squid collected were immature. This note presents information on the occurrence and distribution of squid in bays of the central west coast of Florida and adjacent neritic waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Published material pertaining to the systemat- ics and geographical distribution of cephalopods in the Gulf of Mexico is limited to the work of Voss (1950, 1954, 1955, 1956a, 1956b). Little is known about the distribution of squid in Florida estuaries and adjoining marine waters (Tabb & Manning, 1961; Dragovich & Kelly, 1963). In Florida, squid is used extensively as bait by commercial and sport fisher- men (Dragovich & Kelly, 1963), and small amounts are consumed by humans. Samples were collected from September, 1962, through December, 1962, with a ten-foot, shrimp try-net, and from January, 1963, through Decem- ber, 1964, with a 16-foot, semi-balloon trawl. Both nets had one-inch, stretch mesh. Most of the stations in Tampa Bay and the adjacent oceanic waters were sampled semimonthly during 1962, monthly during 1963, and in alternate months during 1964.

YOUNG SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 209 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub- lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available. S.

Photos of the three species can be found in Figures 1-3. Life history information for these species was synthesized from published work in the grey and primary literature, as well as FishBase (Froese and Pauly 2011). Given the paucity of available information for redtail parrotfish, the review was widened to include Sparisoma viride (stoplight parrotfish), Sparisoma aurofrenatum (redband parrotfish), Sparisoma rubripinne (redfin parrotfish), and Scarus vetula (queen parrotfish). The report is organized by species and each section focuses on key aspects describing the relationships among age, growth and reproduction.

  • Reef Responsible
    REEF RESPONSIBLE Protect the ocean, choose sustainable fish What is the Reef Responsible Initiative? In the Caribbean, coral reefs are affected by factors such as overexploitation, contamination by sewage, chemicals and sedimentation, and the destruction of essential habitats including mangroves, wetlands and seagrass beds. In addition, the introduction of the lionfish, an invasive Indo-Pacific species, has increased stress on the region’s reefs. Reef Responsible was created to promote sustainable consumption and better management of seafood products, which in turn fosters economic stability and food security. This initiative aims to inform restaurants and consumers about the origin of seafood, the fishing gear with which it was captured, and the laws and regulations that protect the species. The main objective of Reef Responsible is to work with restaurants and Why Join the Reef consumers to promote the sale and consumption of local species that are well managed and in good condition. We believe that through outreach, Responsible Initiative? education and active participation, we can achieve our goal of preserving our Restaurants that participate in natural resources while supporting local economies and sustainable fishing. Reef Responsible will benefit from positive exposure in the community for their commitment to the environment and for promoting Making Sustainable Choices The following categories have been developed for local commercial species: sustainable fishing. Participating restaurants will receive: GOOD CHOICE • Contact with local fishers and These species are in good condition and fish markets to obtain fresh, have adequate management practices. sustainably harvested seafood • Recognition from the Puerto Rico GO SLOW Department of Natural and These species are important to the marine Environmental Resources environment and there are concerns about how they are managed or caught.
