  • Diurnal Patterns in Gulf of Mexico Epipelagic Predator Interactions with Pelagic Longline Gear: Implications for Target Species Catch Rates and Bycatch Mitigation

ABSTRACT.—Bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries is of substantial international concern, and the mitigation of bycatch in the Gulf of Mexico has been considered as an option to help restore lost biomass following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The most effective bycatch mitigation measures operate upon a differential response between target and bycatch species, ideally maintaining target catch while minimizing bycatch. We investigated whether bycatch vs target catch rates varied between day and night sets for the United States pelagic longline fishery in the Gulf of Mexico by comparing the influence of diel time period and moon illumination on catch rates of 18 commonly caught species/species groups. A generalized linear model approach was used to account for operational and environmental covariates, including: year, season, water temperature, hook type, bait, and maximum hook depth.

  • 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.

  • Evolution of Cyclooxygenase in the Chordates
    EVOLUTION OF CYCLOOXYGENASE IN THE CHORDATES By JUSTIN CHASE HAVIRD A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2008 1 © 2008 Justin Chase Havird 2 To the teachers who inspired, directed, and challenged me. My high school marine biology teacher, Larry Joye, first introduced me to the fascinating world of life in the water and since then my endeavors have never strayed far from it. Dr. David Evans enthusiastically welcomed me into his lab as an undergraduate, although I had no former research experience. What started as a part-time project soon evolved into an academic career as I was given the opportunity to conduct original research. During this time, Dr. Keith Choe was an invaluable asset and inspiration. Growing from this original partnership, I continued working with David on my master’s research and he has always supported my academic and research endeavors; I cannot envision a better advisor. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I most of all thank my supervisory committee chair, Dr. David H. Evans. Although David was nearing retirement and had resolved to not accept any new students, he welcomed me as a graduate student without any hesitation. He has guided me in developing research strategies, implementing those strategies, and interpreting the results. He has always supported my projects and none of them would have been accomplished without his enthusiasm. I also thank my supervisory committee members for their commitment to my research and their willingness to share their expertise.
