The objective of this study was to evaluate whether age-0 lane snapper Lutjanus synagris otolith chemical signatures could serve as accurate proxies for those of its congener, red snapper L.

ABSTRACT Fishing pressure is the primary threat to coastal elasmobranch populations, and understanding its impact requires long‐term regional data—often lacking in complex, small‐scale fishery settings. This is the case for Curaçao, a southern Dutch Caribbean island with an unmonitored artisanal fishery where, according to anecdotes, elasmobranchs have

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill (DWHOS) spatially and temporally overlapped with the spawning of many fish species, including Red Snapper, one of the most economically important reef fish in the Gulf of Mexico.

Seafood substitution is a worldwide problem due to factors such as limited monitoring coupled with complex supply chains. Red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) is a highly valued and overfished species that is commonly substituted with other fish, such as ...

Effects of preservation methods of muscle tissue from upper-trophic level reef fishes on stable isotope values (δ13C and δ15N) [PDF]
Research that uses stable isotope analysis often involves a delay between sample collection in the field and laboratory processing, therefore requiring preservation to prevent or reduce tissue degradation and associated isotopic compositions.

What acoustic telemetry can and cannot tell us about fish biology
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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Artificial reefs are being deployed in increasing numbers in the northern Gulf of Mexico to provide hard structure habitat, mainly for red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus).
