Bataillon, cc63, 34095 Montpellier Cedex 5, France. Summary: The existence of cryptic salinity-related phenotypes has been hypothesized in the “euryhaline” sea bass (Dicen- trarchus labrax). How differential osmoregulation costs between freshwater and saltwater environments affect fitness and phenotypic variation is misunderstood in this species. During an experiment lasting around five months, we investigated changes in the whole body mass and in the expression of growth-related genes (insulin-like growth factor 1 [IGF-1]; growth hormone receptor [GHR]) in the intestine and the liver of sea bass thriving in sea water (SSW), successfully acclimated to freshwater (SFW), and unsuccessfully acclimated to freshwater (UFW). Albeit non-significant, a trend toward change in body mass was demonstrated among SSW, UFW and SFW fish, suggesting that SSW fish were a mixture of the other phe- notypes. Several mortality peaks were observed during the experiment, with batches of UFW fish showing higher expression in the osmoregulatory intestine due to down-regulation of genes in the liver and significant up-regulation of GHR in the intestine compared with SFW fish.

  • Striped Bass
    Can you tell the difference between a striped bass, a white bass and a striped bass hybrid? Anglers need to know the differences between these spe- cies because different sizes, seasons and creel limits apply to striped bass and striped bass hybrids, and to white bass. Knowing the differences between these species can also help you better understand Pennsylvania fishes and our wa- ters. These fish belong to the family Moronidae, temperate basses, also known as “true” basses. In Pennsylvania, this family also includes the white perch. Moronidae species are medium-sized to large-sized active predators and prized trophy and sport fishes. Some species live only in fresh water, while others are anadromous they spend much of their lives in salt water or brackish water but return to fresh water to spawn. Striped Bass Morone saxatilis Identification: The striped bass has a smoothly arched pro- file, slimmer and more streamlined than a striped bass hybrid, until it reaches a weight of five to 10 pounds, when its body becomes heavy-looking. The back is olive-green to steely blue- gray, sometimes almost black. The sides are silvery to pale rapidly and stay in brackish bays at the end of their downstream silvery-green, shading to white on the belly. There are seven float. Juveniles spend their first and second summers in the or eight distinct dark stripes that run laterally on the side of tidal Delaware River with most inhabitating that area from the the body. Striped bass have two dorsal fins, the front spiny- Schuylkill River downstream into the state of Delaware.

  • Genetic Analysis of Whole Mitochondrial Genome of Lateolabrax Maculatus (Perciformes: Moronidae) Indicates the Presence of Two Populations Along the Chinese Coast
    ZOOLOGIA 37: e49046 ISSN 1984-4689 (online) zoologia.pensoft.net RESEARCH ARTICLE Genetic analysis of whole mitochondrial genome of Lateolabrax maculatus (Perciformes: Moronidae) indicates the presence of two populations along the Chinese coast Jie Gong 1,2, Baohua Chen 1,2, Bijun Li 1, Zhixiong Zhou 1, Yue Shi 1, Qiaozhen Ke 1,3, Dianchang Zhang 4, Peng Xu 1,2,3 1Fujian Key Laboratory of Genetics and Breeding of Marine Organisms, Xiamen University. 361000 Xiamen, China. 2Shenzhen Research Institute, Xiamen University. 518000 Shenzhen, China. 3State Key Laboratory of Large Yellow Croaker Breeding, Ningde Fufa Fisheries Company Limited. 352130 Ningde, China. 4South China Sea Fisheries Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences. 510300 Guangzhou, China. Corresponding author: Peng Xu ([email protected]) http://zoobank.org/B5BBA46C-7FC5-44C3-B9CE-19F8E93FAA1C ABSTRACT. The whole mitochondrial genome of Lateolabrax maculatus (Cuvier, 1828) was used to investigate the reasons for the observed patterns of genetic differentiation among 12 populations in northern and southern China. The haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity of L. maculatus were 0.998 and 0.00169, respectively. Pairwise FST values between popula- tions ranged from 0.001 to 0.429, correlating positively with geographic distance. Genetic structure analysis and haplotype network analysis indicated that these populations were split into two groups, in agreement with geographic segregation and environment. Tajima’s D values, Fu’s Fs tests and Bayesian skyline plot (BSP) indicated that a demographic expansion event may have occurred in the history of L. maculatus. Through selection pressure analysis, we found evidence of significant negative selection at the ATP6, ND3, Cytb, COX3, COX2 and COX1 genes.

Two specimens were caught from Kemer Dam Lake. The body of the F2 hybrid striped bass was elongated, moderately compressed, and scaly. Dorsal surface and sides were silver and black to olive-gray, and the abdomen was white in color. Four or 5 longitudinal broken stripes ran above the lateral line to the caudal fin. The stripes were less visible behind the pectoral fins and below the lateral line. The bodies of the2 F specimens were deeper than 1/4 the fork length. The 2 dorsal fins were separated entirely. The first dorsal fin had 8–9 spines, and the second dorsal fin had a spine and 13–14 soft rays. The caudal fin was slightly forked. The anal fin had 3 spines with 12–14 soft rays. One tooth patch was present on the anterior of the tongue. According to our results, the fish were 2F hybrid striped bass offspring of 1F hybrid striped bass, which can reproduce naturally in Turkey.

Embora, existam algumas pescarias dirigidas a espécies de elasmobrânquios com carácter sazonal e/ou local ao largo das ilhas Britânicas, os elasmobrânquios são comunemente capturados em pescarias mistas demersais. A pescaria da palangre dirigida a espécies demersais é conhecida por ser altamente selectiva para certas espécies de elasmobrânquios, embora os padrões espaciais e temporais destas pescarias não tenham, ainda, sido descritos. Por conseguinte, uma descrição geral destas pescarias ao largo das ilhas britânicas foi conduzida. As principais zonas, em termos de desembarques na pescaria da palangre demersal (1990-2007) foram o sul do Mar do Norte (ICES IVc), Mar da Irlanda (VIIa) e Mar do Norte central (IVb). Enquanto que, as principais espécies capturadas nestas pescarias são o galhudo- malhado, bacalhau do Atlântico, raias e safio.

Compiling different bibliographical sources, a total of 732 taxa of specific and subspecific order remained. It is about the six large vertebrate classes of Romanian fauna. The first class (Cyclostomata) is represented by only four species, and Pisces (here considered super-class) – by 184 taxa. The rest of 544 taxa belong to Tetrapoda super-class which includes the other four vertebrate classes: Amphibia (20 taxa); Reptilia (31); Aves (382) and Mammalia (110 taxa). Résumé. Cette contribution à la systématique des vertébrés de Roumanie s’adresse à tous ceux qui sont intéressés par la zoologie en général et par la classification de ce groupe en spécial. Elle représente le début d’une thème de confrontation des opinions des spécialistes du domaine, ayant pour but final d’offrir aux élèves, aux étudiants, aux professeurs de biologie ainsi qu’à tous ceux intéressés, une synthèse actualisée de la classification des vertébrés de Roumanie. En compilant différentes sources bibliographiques, on a retenu un total de plus de 732 taxons d’ordre spécifique et sous-spécifique. Il s’agît des six grandes classes de vertébrés. La première classe (Cyclostomata) est représentée dans la faune de Roumanie par quatre espèces, tandis que Pisces (considérée ici au niveau de surclasse) l’est par 184 taxons. Le reste de 544 taxons font partie d’une autre surclasse (Tetrapoda) qui réunit les autres quatre classes de vertébrés: Amphibia (20 taxons); Reptilia (31); Aves (382) et Mammalia (110 taxons).

Few environmental reporters fail to mention this disaster when discussing any ocean fisheries management efforts. Current re-analyses of the causes for the cod collapse focus on “a range of social and political factors that were implicated in the collapse of the stocks, including overfishing, government mismanagement and the disregard of scientific uncertainty.” However, a new comprehensive analysis of the cod populations of the North Atlantic has taken another approach: looking for similarities and differences in the various discrete stocks throughout the North Atlantic, while measuring differences in growth and reproduction in each stock. When commercial fishery effects are added to this analysis a surprising new conclusion becomes apparent: Environmental factors have been an overwhelming influence all along. The study by Brian Rothschild, published in the Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, finds that a strong negative environmental signal, probably associated with plankton dynamics, was a likely suspect in the cod’s disappearance. Spawning stock biomass (SSB - total weight of mature fish) tracked similar trends in all 11 cod stocks: declining from the 1960s through 1975, then increasing through 1985, then falling drastically through the 1990s and remaining low afterwards.
