RAPID GROWTH RESULTS IN INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO PREDATION IN MENIDIA MENIDIA

Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 2003
Several recent studies have demonstrated that rapid growth early in life leads to decreased physiological performance. Nearly all involved experiments over short time periods (

Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci for the Atlantic Silverside, Menidia menidia

Conservation Genetics Resources, 2011
Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from the Atlantic Silverside (Menidia menidia) in order to test hypotheses regarding the role of adaptive phenotypic variation in structuring estuarine populations along coastal North America. Loci were amplified in three multiplex panels requiring a total of four individual PCRs.

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

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.

Laboratory spawning and rearing of a marine fish, the silverside Menidia menidia menidia

Marine Biology, 1976
Adult silversides, Menidia menidia menidia (Linnaeus), were collected in early March, 1974 and maintained in 3 recirculating seawater tanks in the laboratory. Respective groups were fed Moore-Clark Fry Fine at 3, 7 and 10% of their body weight per day.

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.

The potential use of Atlantic silverside (Menidia menidia) for monitoring estuarine pollution

Journal of Environmental Monitoring, 2011
Monitoring chronic impacts of nearshore pollution on fish in Atlantic marine systems is challenging due to the mobility and seasonal nature of most habitat use. We evaluated Atlantic silverside (Menidia menidia) as a potential indicator of pollution across a gradient of contaminated sites in the Saint John River Estuary, New Brunswick, Canada.

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.

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 ...
