A prelimnary study of diet in the juvenile gorean snapper, Lutjanus goreensis (Valenciennes, 1830) from Five Cowrie Creek, Lagos, Nigeria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Diet of the juvenile Gorean snapper, Lutjanus goreensis from Five Cowrie Creek was investigated between April 2008 and January 2009. Analyses of 184 specimens by numerical (NO), frequency of occurrence (FO) and geometric index of importance (GII) methods,

What acoustic telemetry can and cannot tell us about fish biology

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 106, Issue 5, Page 1260-1284, May 2025.
Abstract Acoustic telemetry (AT) has become ubiquitous in aquatic monitoring and fish biology, conservation, and management. Since the early use of active ultrasonic tracking that required researchers to follow at a distance their species of interest, the field has diversified considerably, with exciting advances in both hydrophone and transmitter ...

Seasonal foods, gonadal maturation, and length-weight relationships for nine fishes commonly captured by shrimp trawl on the Northwest Gulf of Mexico Continental Shelf [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Recent emphasis on ecosystem approaches to fisheries management renews interest in, and the need for, trophic information about fish communities. A program was started in 1980 at the National Marine Fisheries Service Galveston Laboratory to develop a ...

Coexistence, resource partitioning, and fisheries management: A tale of two mesopredators in equatorial waters

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 106, Issue 5, Page 1377-1399, May 2025.
Abstract Rock hind (Epinephelus adscensionis) and spotted moray (Gymnothorax moringa) are ubiquitous mesopredators that co‐occur in the nearshore waters of Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean, where they have significant cultural and subsistence value, but management of their non‐commercial take is limited.

Water Volume, Biological and PCR Replicates Influence the Characterization of Deep‐Sea Pelagic Fish Communities

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
We investigated the effects of sampled water volume, biological, and PCR replicates in characterizing deep‐sea pelagic biodiversity. We suggest that future studies collect at least 5 L, 5 or more field replicates, and 5–10 PCR replicates to adequately investigate deep‐sea pelagic biodiversity when using Niskin bottles coupled with CTD.

A Decade of Monitoring Reveals a Dynamic Fish Assemblage on a Substantial Artificial Reef in the Texas Gulf of Mexico

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 1, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Fish communities on artificial reefs have rarely been monitored over long periods to evaluate success of reef deployment. Here, we used roving diver surveys to assess changes in fish assemblages on a large, reefed vessel during 2008–2017. Multivariate analyses revealed a dynamic community that stabilized after 5 years.

Diet shifts of juvenile red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) with changes in habitat and fish size [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We examined the diets and habitat shift of juvenile red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) in the northeast Gulf of Mexico. Fish were collected from open sand-mud habitat (little to no relief), and artificial reef habitat (1-m3 concrete or PVC blocks), from ...

Tracking aquatic animals for fisheries management in European waters

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 5, October 2024.
Abstract Acoustic telemetry (AT) has emerged as a valuable tool for monitoring aquatic animals in both European inland and marine waters over the past two decades. The European Tracking Network (ETN) initiative has played a pivotal role in promoting collaboration among AT researchers in Europe and has led to a significant increase in the number of ...

Sportfishing creel census pilot study [PDF]

open access: yes, 1974
The sportfishing creel census project was originated to obtain information relating to the use of the Corpus Christi Bay area for sportfishing, the amount of fish caught and other environmental information relating to the total productivity cycles of the
