Curtis1,*, Kara R. Wall1, Mark A. Albins2, Christopher D. Stallings1 1College of Marine Science, University of South Florida, St. Petersburg, FL 33705, USA 2University of South Alabama, Mobile, AL 36608, USA ABSTRACT: In marine ecosystems, little is known about how competition with invasive fishes may affect the resource use of native predators. Throughout the western Atlantic, invasive Indo-Pacific lionfishes (Pterois spp.) are likely to compete with native mesopredators such as the graysby Cephalopholis cruentata, an ecologically similar serranid. In conjunction with a before-after- control- impact lionfish removal experiment, this study measured whether graysby population size, diet, and condition varied in relation to cohabitant lionfish biomass. Lionfish, graysby, and prey popu- lations were surveyed and sampled along a contiguous reef ledge in Biscayne National Park, south Florida. Mesopredator diet was measured with stable isotope (δ13C and δ15N) and gut con- tent analyses, and isotopic niches were used to compare patterns of inter- and intraspecific resource use diversity. The isotopic niches of graysby and lionfishes overlapped by 67%, suggest- ing similar population-level resource use. On sites with higher lionfish biomass, graysby isotopic niche was 34% smaller and overlapped 47% less with that of lionfishes, possibly indicating both a narrower breadth of resource use and associated interspecific niche segregation.

  • Dive Theory Guide
    DIVE THEORY STUDY GUIDE by Rod Abbotson CD69259 © 2010 Dive Aqaba Guidelines for studying: Study each area in order as the theory from one subject is used to build upon the theory in the next subject. When you have completed a subject, take tests and exams in that subject to make sure you understand everything before moving on. If you try to jump around or don’t completely understand something; this can lead to gaps in your knowledge. You need to apply the knowledge in earlier sections to understand the concepts in later sections... If you study this way you will retain all of the information and you will have no problems with any PADI dive theory exams you may take in the future. Before completing the section on decompression theory and the RDP make sure you are thoroughly familiar with the RDP, both Wheel and table versions. Use the appropriate instructions for use guides which come with the product. Contents Section One PHYSICS ………………………………………………page 2 Section Two PHYSIOLOGY………………………………………….page 11 Section Three DECOMPRESSION THEORY & THE RDP….……..page 21 Section Four EQUIPMENT……………………………………………page 27 Section Five SKILLS & ENVIRONMENT…………………………...page 36 PHYSICS SECTION ONE Light: The speed of light changes as it passes through different things such as air, glass and water. This affects the way we see things underwater with a diving mask. As the light passes through the glass of the mask and the air space, the difference in speed causes the light rays to bend; this is called refraction. To the diver wearing a normal diving mask objects appear to be larger and closer than they actually are.

I’m originally from the Netherlands and have now been living in Thailand for almost a decade. In 2003, I decided to take a diving course to experience the hype that everyone was talking about. It only took me 20 minutes on my first Open Water dive to realize that you can have a fantastic career in this amazing underwater realm. From that moment on, I actively pursued my career in diving. I hold a tremendous passion towards diving which I have been able to share with others during my teaching and turning thousands of students into divers. It didn’t take long to decide to advance in my career and I continued my education towards Course Director and Specialty Instructor Trainer. Within the first year I achieved Platinum Status from PADI and kept that until this day. Now I’m able to teach the success I had to new Instructors and I look forward to share my passion and success in Diving with you!

    Table 1-2. Responses to Comments Comment Response Comment/Response Number Number 1.1 The lakes in question are in our main camp area. We have operated in this area for thirty years and probably know more about the fish in these lakes than anyone associated with this ridiculous plan. These lakes have provided unequalled fishing to our guests and all others that have fished them. 1.1 This project is designed to preserve this stronghold for native westslope cutthroat trout. This project proposes to re-establish WCT populations in all treated lakes, which will maintain angling opportunities. 1.2 We feel that his plan goes against all that is held sacred in a wilderness area. … We believe the "Wilderness Act" should be respected and these areas should not be tampered with. 1.2 Native westslope cutthroat trout are considered a wilderness value. This project is designed to maintain and conserve that value. 1.3 Why should anyone be allowed to tamper with these healthy fish in order to obtain a genetically pure strain of fish? 1.3 It is the responsibility of MFWP to ensure that this species is conserved and maintained so the public of Montana can continue to use and enjoy it. The species has been at risk of hybridization for some time. MFWP has taken measures to reduce and eliminate the threats (see Section 1.2 of the DEIS). The species has been proposed for ESA listing (see Section 1.4.1 and Appendix B of the DEIS). MFWP is mandated to keep this from happening so the public does not lose the opportunity to use and enjoy WCT (see page 1-8 of the DEIS).
