Not for Release or Distribution to Sea Perch Teams Welcome and thank you for your willingness to take time form you busy schedule to support the 10th Annual Greater Philadelphia SeaPerch Challenge, (GPSPC). You are a role model to the participating students and we appreciate your participation. Please take the time to review the material contained in this handbook related to the GPSPC. For official answers to questions on judging this competition contact Judge Chair, Dr. Robert Palma, La Salle University – e‐mail [email protected] The Greater Philadelphia Sea Perch Challenge, (GPSPC) will be held at Drexel University’s Recreation Center located at 3301 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19104. The competition will take place on Friday, April 24, 2015 for middle schools and Saturday, April 25, 2015 for high schools. The competition will begin with team check‐in and compliance checks followed by an opening ceremony, competition rounds, and the presentation of awards. The GPSPC will feature poster and pool events. A juried poster competition is planned for both middle and high school teams to introduce their graphic displays and deliver oral presentations about their design philosophy, construction challenges, and answer questions posed by the judges. The pool's technical competition events consist both of an Obstacle Course and an Underwater Mission. Specifications for the underwater events are contained within this document and are posted on the www.phillyseaperch.org website. An engineering design notebook must be delivered for judging before the submittal deadline. The engineering design notebook submittal deadline is in advance of the competition date. The engineering design notebook emphasizes process documentation and captured the lessons team learned during the design, build and test phase.

What is the Greater Philadelphia SeaPerch Challenge (GPSPC)? The GPSPC is an innovative, mentor‐based underwater robotics program that includes classroom visits by engineering professionals. Teams are issued a SeaPerch kit and challenged to design; build, and compete with their underwater ROVs at the GPSPC at Drexel University in downtown Philadelphia. Since the Sea Perch Challenge was created in Philadelphia ten years ago, more than 50,000 students have participated in the SeaPerch program nationally. GPSPC is a fun, educational and challenging way to get students not only interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), but excited about it. In 2015, SeaPerch will reach over 1,00 middle and high school students from Philadelphia and surrounding Pennsylvania and New Jersey areas through the Greater Philadelphia SeaPerch Challenge. iv 2015 Greater Philadelphia SeaPerch Challenge Judges Manual For Official Use Only By Judges.

  • Influence of Spring River Flow on the Recruitment of Japanese Seaperch Lateolabrax Japonicus Into the Chikugo Estuary, Japan
    RECENT ADVANCES IN THE STUDY OF SCIENTIA MARINA 70S2 FISH EGGS AND LARVAE October 2006, 159-164, Barcelona (Spain) M.P. Olivar and J.J. Govoni (eds.) ISSN: 0214-8358 Influence of spring river flow on the recruitment of Japanese seaperch Lateolabrax japonicus into the Chikugo estuary, Japan JUN SHOJI 1 and MASARU TANAKA 2 1 Takehara Fisheries Research Station, Hiroshima University, Minato-machi 5-8-1, Takehara, Hiroshima 725-0024, Japan. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Laboratory of Estuarine Ecology, Centre for Education and Research of Field Science, Kyoto University, Sakyo, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan. SUMMARY: The estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) zone is considered to serve as a predation refuge for fish during the early life stages due to the high turbidity and high prey concentration. River flow can be one of the important determinants for survival of early life stages of estuarine dependent fish because it affects both the physical and biological properties of the ETM. We tested the hypothesis that fluctuation of river flow explains the variability in recruitment of Japanese seaperch Lateolabrax japonicus around the ETM region of the Chikugo River estuary, upper Ariake Bay, Japan. Japanese seaperch recruitment showed a 43.3-fold fluctuation from 1990 to 2000 and was inversely correlated with the mean daily river flow of the Chikugo River in March. The recruitment was high and variable in years of low March river flow and was poor in years of high March river flow. We conclude that high river flow potentially decreases Japanese seaperch recruitment in the Chikugo River estuary by blocking the larval migration into the river and by increasing the probability of larval dispersion to the downriver/upper bay areas, where potential predators (jellyfish and Sagitta spp.) were more abundant, and prey (Sinocalanus sinensis) availability and turbidity were lower.

Fisheries Occasional Publications No. 80, September 2010. ISSN: 1447 - 2058 ISBN: 1 921258 90 X Information about this guide he intention of the North Coast Fish Identification Guide is to provide a simple, Teasy to use manual to assist commercial, recreational, charter and customary fishers to identify the most commonly caught marine finfish species in the North Coast Bioregion. This guide is not intended to be a comprehensive taxonomic fish ID guide for all species. It is anticipated that this guide will assist fishers in providing a more comprehensive species level description of their catch and hence assist scientists and managers in understanding any variation in the species composition of catches over both spatial and temporal scales. Fish taxonomy is a dynamic and evolving field. Advances in molecular analytical techniques are resolving many of the relationships and inter-relationships among species, genera and families of fishes. In this guide, we have used and adopted the latest taxonomic nomenclature. Any changes to fish taxonomy will be updated and revised in subsequent editions. The North Coast Bioregion extends from the Ashburton River near Onslow to the Northern Territory border. Within this region there is a diverse range of habitats from mangrove creeks, rivers, offshore islands, coral reef systems to continental shelf and slope waters.
