A comprehensive non-redundant reference transcriptome for the Atlantic silverside Menidia menidia

Marine Genomics, 2020
The Atlantic silverside (Menidia menidia) has been the focus of extensive research efforts in ecology, evolutionary biology, and physiology over the past three decades, but lack of genomic resources has so far hindered examination of the molecular basis underlying the remarkable patterns of phenotypic variation described in this species.

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.

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.

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.
