Critical Swimming Capacity of the Atlantic Silverside, Menidia menidia L

Estuaries, 1991
Critical swimming speed was determined for the Atlantic silverside (Menidia menidia) at several time and velocity increments. Fish were tested at time increments (Δt) of 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes at a velocity increment (ΔV) of 0.5 body lengths s−1 (BL s−1). Tail beat frequency increased linearly with velocity.

Reproductive behavior of the Atlantic silverside, Menidia menidia (Pisces, Atherinidae)

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1981
The spawning behavior of the Atlantic silverside,Menidia menidia, was studied at two sites on the North Edisto River estuary in South Carolina. Prespawning schools moved back and forth along the shoreline as the time of high tide approached. Spawning runs took place in the upper intertidal zone at high tide.

Tidal and diurnal spawning cues in the atlantic silverside, Menidia menidia

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1983
Field and laboratory observations revealed tidal and diurnal cues for spawning in the atlantic silverside, Menidia menidia. In the field, spawning runs began approximately when daytime flood tide velocities ranged from 3 to 16 (x = 11) cm sec−1. Spawning runs ended at ebb tide velocities ranging from 5 to 22 (x = 17) cm sec−1.

The Environmental and Genetic Components of Sex Ratio in Menidia menidia (Pisces: Atherinidae)

Copeia, 1987
Comparison of sex ratios among families reared at different temperatures during larval development suggests that environmental sex determination is under the control of major sex determining genes in Menidia menidia. The response of family sex ratio to temperature within mothers was highly dependent on paternity. Moreover, the frequency distribution of

The life history of the silverside, Menidia menidia (Linnaeus)

2021
This paper is based on an attempt to assemble the existing knowledge of the silverside, Menidia menidia, and to contribute to what is known about the life history of this species. A vast amount of work is needed on the ecological relationships between the food fish and the forage fish.

Genetic and maternal variation in early growth in the Atlantic silverside Menidia menidia

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2013
In the early life histories of many fish species, larger individuals have lower mortality rates and, as a consequence, growth is thought to be a primary determinant of recruitment. Although much is known about environmental influences on growth in the early life history, far less is known about genetic and maternal contributions.

Sloughed mucus and drag-reduction in a school of Atlantic silversides, Menidia menidia

Marine Biology, 1988
Atlantic silversides, Menidia menidia, were collected by seine-net from the Newport River estuary, North Carolina, USA and maintained in the laboratory. Direct measurement showed that the amount of mucus sloughed off individual silversides was 567 μg h-1 at a swimming speed of 50 cm s-1. Individual M.

Population differences in otolith chemistry have a genetic basis in Menidia menidia

Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2011
The number of studies using otolith chemistry as a tool to reconstruct the environmental history of fishes and to detect population structure continues to rise, despite the fact that factors influencing otolith deposition are not fully understood. Many studies have examined the influence of environmental parameters on otolith composition, but none to ...

Laboratory experiments on mechanisms of competition and resource partitioning between Menidia menidia (L.) and Menidia beryllina (Cope) (Osteichthyes:Atherinidae)

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1985
Abstract Postlarvae of two atherinid species, Menidia menidia (L.) and Menidia beryllina (Cope), were tested in two 14-day experiments at four densities of fish to determine effects of interspecific versus intraspecific competition for food. In one experiment, when M. menidia was slightly larger than M.

The Effects of Temperature on the Development and Survival of the Eggs and Larvae of the Atlantic Silverside, Menidia menidia

Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1975
Abstract Eggs of Atlantic silverside, Menidia menidia, were fertilized and incubated at 15, 17, 20, 25 and 30 C. The times to hatching at each temperature were 27.0, 12.4, 9.8, 4.8 and 3.0 days respectively. Thermal shocks of +8 C produced 0% mortality for larvae reared at 17 and 20 C, 19% for larvae reared at 25 C, and 11% for larvae reared at 30 C ...
