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

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.

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 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.

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 ...

The Use of Otolith Growth Rings to Age Young Atlantic Silversides, Menidia menidia

Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1978
Abstract There is evidence that daily growth rings are deposited in the sagitta otolith of larvae and juvenile Atlantic silversides, Menidia menidia. The growth rings are a function of age alone, and can be used as a tool to age young Atlantic silversides. Growth rings deposited in the asteriscus otolith were unreliable indicators of daily age.

Reproductive Ecology and Spawning Periodicity of the Atlantic Silverside, Menidia menidia (Pisces: Atherinidae)

Copeia, 1981
at Bears Bluff and the Point of Pines during the spring and summer, 1976-1978. Spawning runs occurred only in daytime and coincided precisely with the predicted time of high tide. Spawning by large numbers of fish in a small area at high tide, when tidal current and velocities were low, caused depletion of dissolved oxygen to
