Testing non-lethal techniques for endoparasite detection and sex determination in pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus). [PDF]
Abstract Developing non‐lethal techniques to estimate parasite infection is critical for studying disease ecology in wild animals. We tested the effectiveness of coelomic ultrasonographic examination and plasma enzyme markers to detect liver infection with bass tapeworms Proteocephalus ambloplitis (Leidy 1887) as well as the effectiveness of ultrasound

The effects of four light intensities on growth and survival of first-feeding stage black sea bass larvae Centropristis striata were investigated in a controlled-environment laboratory. Fertilized eggs, obtained from LHRHa-induced spawning of captive broodstock, were stocked (72 eggs L−1) into twenty 15 L black tanks under light intensities of 100, 500,

Age validation of the northern stock of black sea bass (Centropristis striata) in the Atlantic Ocean
— Inaccurate age determinations can have serious effects on age- structured stock assessments that are used to manage fish populations. A recent push toward using an age- based model for the northern stock of black sea bass ( Centropristis striata ) led ...

Exploring video and eDNA metabarcoding methods to assess oyster aquaculture cages as fish habitat
Multi-tiered oyster aquaculture cages may provide habitat for fish assemblages similar to natural structured seafloor. Methods were developed to assess fish assemblages associated with aquaculture gear and boulder habitat using underwater video census ...
