Crossley IIa,⁎ a University of North Texas, Department of Biological Sciences, 1155 Union Circle, Denton, TX 76203, United States b Division of Marine Biology and Ecology, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Miami, Miami, FL 33149-1098, United States ABSTRACT Aerobic exercise capacity is dependent on the cardiorespiratory system's ability to supply oxygen at a rate that meets energetic demands. In teleost fish crude oil exposure, with the associated polycyclic aromatic hydro- carbons (PAH's), reduces exercise performance and this has been hypothesized to be due to compromised car- diovascular function. In this study, we test this hypothesis by simultaneously measuring cardiovascular per- formance, oxygen consumption, and swim performance in a pelagic teleost, the cobia (Rachycentron canadum). Metabolic rate increased over 300% in both groups during the swim trial but as the fish approached the critical fi swim speed (Ucrit) MO2 was 12% lower in the oil exposed sh. Further, stroke volume was initially 35% lower while heart rate was 15% higher in the oil exposed compared to control fish. Our findings suggested, while aspects of cardiovascular and metabolic function are altered by oil exposure, additional studies are needed to further understand the homeostatic mechanisms that may sustain cardiovascular function at higher exercise intensities in cobia.

Characterization of commercial reef fish catch and bycatch off the southeast coast of the United States. Patrick J. Harris, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Charleston, SC 29412. Grant Number: NA03NMF4540416 July 2005. II. Abstract There is clearly a need to characterize the entire catch of commercial fishermen and compare differences in abundance and species diversity to what is caught in fishery-independent gear. As we move towards a multi-species management approach, these types of data are essential. In addition, estimates of release mortality are needed for stock assessments but currently this is not being measured for fishery-dependent data. Many reef fishes captured at depths greater than ~ 20 m often have problems submerging when released by commercial fishermen. The goal of the research project was to characterize the entire (retained and discarded) catch of reef fishes from a selected commercial fisherman including total catch composition and disposition of fishes that were released. During April- November 2004, Captain Mark Marhefka dedicated one fishing trip (5-7 day duration) each month to the collection of fishery-dependent data. Date, location and collection number were recorded for each site fished by Captain Marhefka using a PDA equipped with a GPS.

  • Growth and Mortality of Lagodon Rhomboides (Pisces: Sparidae)

    Growth and Mortality of Lagodon Rhomboides (Pisces: Sparidae)

    GROWTH AND MORTALITY OF LAGODON RHOMBOIDES (PISCES: SPARIDAE) IN A TROPICAL COASTAL LAGOON IN NORTHWESTERN YUCATAN, MEXICO CRECIMIENTO Y MORTALIDAD DE LAGODON RHOMBOIDES (PISCES: SPARIDAE) EN UNA LAGUNA TROPICAL COSTERA EN EL NOROESTE DE YUCATÁN, MÉXICO José Luis Bonilla-Gómez1*, Jorge A. López-Rocha2, Maribel Badillo Alemán2, Juani Tzeek Tuz2 and Xavier Chiappa-Carrara2 ABSTRACT Growth and mortality were estimated for the Lagodon rhomboides pinfish inhabiting La Carbonera, a tropical coastal lagoon on the northwestern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. A total of 448 juvenile and adult individuals were collected monthly between April 2009 and May 2010. The length-weight relationship was calculated and the monthly variation in the condition factor was analyzed. Growth was estimated through the von Bertalanffy growth equation using a length frequency analysis. In addition, mortality was estimated and analyzed. Results showed that fish caught were between 2.1 and 20.0 cm long with an average length of 9.42 cm. The length-weight relationship showed isometric growth. The von Bertalanffy growth model parameters -1 were: L∞ = 21.0 cm, W∞ = 163.46 g, k = 1.1 year and t0 = - 0.158 years. Instantaneous mortality rates were 2.11 and 2.61 year-1 as estimated by the method used. According to the results, growth estimates of L. rhomboi- des along the northwestern coast of Yucatan are higher than those found in the population studied in Florida, suggesting a strong influence of environmental conditions in the growth pattern of this species. This study provides the first growth and mortality estimates forL. rhomboides in the Yucatan Peninsula, which is relevant for the proper implementation of conservation measures for this species.

    Something's Fishy with Cobia Document

    Tab C, No. 5(c) Something’s Fishy with Cobia Response Summary March 2020 The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) asked fishermen, divers, and other stakeholders if they have noticed anything “fishy” about cobia fishing in the Gulf of Mexico in recent years. Recognizing that active fishermen may notice trends or unusual occurrences happening that scientists and managers may not have observed, this initiative expands the type of information gathered by the Council to gain a better understanding of what is happening on the water. Comments were collected using a web‐based tool that was advertised via press release, social media, and on the Council’s website. Five hundred and eighty‐six unique responses were received between January 8th and February 7th, 2020. Respondents self‐selected Response by Sector their association with the fishery (Figure 1). Respondents 35 were not limited to a singular 60 response and many identified with more than one sector in the fishery. A vast majority of respondents identified as 551 private anglers. Respondents who identified as state guides/charters were counted Commercial Federal For‐hire Private as private anglers. Figure 1: Self‐identified number of responses to the survey tool from each sector Respondents also self‐selected (n=646). Respondents (n=584) were not limited to a singular response and many the general location where identified with more than one sector of the fishery their observation was made. Respondents were not limited to a singular response and many identified multiple locations. Responses were gathered for each location and a majority of responses originated from the areas off the Florida panhandle extending down to central coast of Florida (Figure 2).

Snapper and grouper are important fishery resources with great commercial value for exporters to major international markets. The fisheries also support the livelihoods and food security of many local, small-scale fishing communities worldwide. It is therefore all the more critical that management of these fisheries improves, thus ensuring this important resource will remain available to provide both food and income. Landings of snapper and grouper have been steadily increasing: in the 1950s, total landings were about 50,000 tonnes, but they had grown to more than 612,000 tonnes by 2013.
