Intraspecific resource partitioning by an opportunistic strategist, inland silverside Menidia beryllina

Journal of Applied Ichthyology, 2007
Summary Seasonal variation in prey consumption and food resource overlap was evident in an inland water body for mature male, mature female and immature inland silverside (Menidia beryllina). During the first growth phase marked by intensive somatic growth by immature inland silverside, few adults were present in the population (28% of total catch ...

Using Long‐Term Monitoring Data to Assess Temporal Patterns in Fish Community Assemblages in Florida Lakes

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In an effort to increase the relevancy of fish community data for management, we used fish community data to conduct a statewide assessment of Florida's freshwater fisheries resources and compare the relationships between environmental factors and freshwater fish communities over time.

An Optimized Probe‐Based qPCR Assay for the Detection and Monitoring of the Invasive Lionfish (Pterois volitans) in the Atlantic

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Lionfish are invasive in the western Atlantic, with populations expanding rapidly since their introduction in the 1980s. Here we evaluate the specificity of the currently available lionfish traditional PCR assay and provide an alternative, more sensitive qPCR assay for the detection of lionfish in the western Atlantic region.

Exploring Alternatives for Marine Toxicity Testing: Initial Evaluation of Fish Embryo and Mysid Tests

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 1285-1299, June 2024.
Abstract Current regulations require that toxicity assessments be performed using standardized toxicity testing methods, often using fish. Recent legislation in both the European Union and United States has mandated that toxicity testing alternatives implement the 3Rs of animal research (replacement, reduction, and refinement) whenever possible.

A comparison of eDNA sampling methods in an estuarine environment on presence of longfin smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys) and fish community composition

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 3, May–June 2024.
The loss of tidal wetlands in the San Francisco Bay Estuary (SFE) has led to declines in native fish presence. Restoration of tidal wetlands in this area has intensified, with a primary goal of increasing the number of native fishes. We compared the presence of longfin smelt in naturally accreted and beneficial dredge reuse wetlands as a measure of ...

Development of the integrated fish endocrine disruptor test (iFEDT)—Part A: Merging of existing fish test guidelines

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 817-829, May 2024.
Abstract There has been increasing interest in endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) among scientists and public authorities over the last 30 years, notably because of their wide use and the increasing evidence of detrimental effects on humans and the environment.

Why we cannot always expect life history strategies to directly inform on sensitivity to environmental change

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 3, Page 348-366, March 2024.
The graphical abstract highlights how the structuring of variation in the life history traits of ray‐finned fish is independent of the sensitivity of their populations to environmental change. Abstract Variation in life history traits in animals and plants can often be structured along major axes of life history strategies.

Macroinvertebrate Prey Availability and Fish Diet Selectivity in Relation to Environmental Variables in Natural and Restoring North San Francisco Bay Tidal Marsh Channels

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2014
Tidal marsh wetlands provide important foraging habitat for a variety of estuarine fishes. Prey organisms include benthic–epibenthic macroinvertebrates, neustonic arthropods, and zooplankton.

Preliminary data on use of the inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, to control mosquito larvae.

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 1989
A study of procedures for spawning and culture of the inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, was conducted. The efficacy of young Menidia, 20 to 22 and 31 to 33 days old, to control mosquito larvae was determined in the laboratory with first and second larval instars of the saltmarsh mosquito Aedes taeniorhynchus.
