This book was released on 2013 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to properly manage striped bass within a geographic area, it is necessary to understand the genetic relationships of striped bass populations within and between watersheds to identify appropriate management units. Determining temporal changes in genetic relationships as well as the genetic characteristics of the populations is important in understanding how stock enhancement may have and continues to influence population units. A suite of 12 microsatellites was used to evaluate patterns of striped bass gene flow both spatially and temporally across the watersheds of North and South Carolina. Populations from the study watersheds were genetically diverse with the exception of the Savannah River which is recovering from a major population decline. Striped bass in the Roanoke and Cape Fear rivers represented a single population, most likely due to historical transfer stocking across the state from Roanoke River stock. Watersheds in South Carolina contained genetically distinct striped bass populations, although the difference between striped bass populations in the ACE and Santee-Cooper watersheds has substantially decreased over fifteen years, likely due to the stocking of Santee-Cooper fish into the ACE Basin. Conversely, supportive stocking of the Santee-Cooper system has helped to maintain genetic diversity of the population. The striped bass populations of the Carolinas are good examples of the various positive and negative effects from stock enhancement that must be considered and monitored when implementing or assessing a stock enhancement program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an up-to-date discussion of the culture of striped bass and other Morone spp. The subject matter is broken down into functional components of the spawning, husbandry, and economics of the industry, and is written by some of the leading scientists in each of the respective areas of discussion. The chapters on reproduction, nutrition, environmental requirements, transportation, economics and fish processing are not found anywhere else in the striped bass literature. The chapter on water quality takes a very non-traditional approach to considering the impact water quality has on the production success of Morone and offers some very thought-provoking ideas on water management.Primarily written as a reference work, this book is intended to complement existing technique manuals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relentless loss of biodiversity is among the greatest problems facing the world today. The third edition of this established textbook provides an updated and comprehensive overview of the essential background, concepts, and tools required to understand how genetics can be used to conservespecies, reduce threat of extinction, and manage species of ecological or commercial importance. This edition is thoroughly revised to reflect the major contribution of genomics to conservation of populations and species. It includes two new chapters: "Genetic Monitoring" and a final "ConservationGenetics in Practice" chapter that addresses the role of science and policy in conservation genetics.New genomic techniques and statistical analyses are crucial tools for the conservation geneticist. This accessible and authoritative textbook provides an essential toolkit grounded in population genetics theory, coupled with basic and applied research examples from plants, animals, and microbes. Thebook examines genetic and phenotypic variation in natural populations, the principles and mechanisms of evolutionary change, evolutionary response to anthropogenic change, and applications in conservation and management.Conservation and the Genomics of Populations helps demystify genetics and genomics for conservation practitioners and early career scientists, so that population genetic theory and new genomic data can help raise the bar in conserving biodiversity in the most critical 20 year period in the historyof life on Earth. It is aimed at a global market of applied population geneticists, conservation practitioners, and natural resource managers working for wildlife and habitat management agencies. It will be of particular relevance and use to upper undergraduate and graduate students taking coursesin conservation biology, conservation genetics, and wildlife management.

Book excerpt: When populations of striped bass began plummeting in the early 1980s, author and fisherman Dick Russell was there to lead an Atlantic coast conservation campaign that resulted in one of the most remarkable wildlife comebacks in the history of fisheries. As any avid fisherman will tell you, the striped bass has long been a favorite at the American dinner table; in fact, we've been feasting on the fish from the time of the Pilgrims. By 1980 that feasting had turned to overfishing by commercial fishing interests. Striper Wars is Dick Russell's inspiring account of the people and events responsible for the successful preservation of one of America's favorite fish and of what has happened since. Striper Wars is a tale replete with heroes--and some villains--as the struggle to save the striper migrated down the coast from Massachusetts to Maryland. Russell introduces us to a postman at arms against a burly trap-net fisherman, a renowned state governor caving to special interests, and a fishing-tackle maker fighting alongside marine biologists. And he describes how champions of this singular fish blocked power plants and New York's Westway Project that would otherwise compromise its habitat. Unfortunately, those who cheered the triumphant ending to the campaign, as the coastal states enacted measures that enabled the striped bass to make its comeback, have found the peace transitory--there is now a new enemy emerging on the front. In recent years a chronic bacterial disease has struck more than seventy percent of the striped bass population in the primary spawning waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Malnutrition seems to be a significant factor, brought on by the same overfishing that plagued the bass in the first battle--only this time, the overfishing is devastating menhaden, the silvery little fish upon which the bass feed. Lessons learned during the first conservation battle are being applied here, highlighting a need for a whole new ecosystem-based approach to conserving species. Only with constant vigilance by concerned citizens, Dick Russell reminds us, can environmental victories be sustained. This particular fish story is a personal one for him, and he follows the striper's saga today all the way to California, where the fish was introduced in 1879 and where agribusiness now threatens its future. For his conservation work during the 1980s Russell received a citizen's Chevron Conservation Award.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of next-generation sequencing technologies has revolutionized the field of molecular ecology, facilitating increasingly fine-scale detection of genetic differences among populations and adaptationally significant mutations. In this thesis, I use genomics to advance solve longstanding mysteries of Striped Bass genetics and lay the groundwork for future studies. In the first chapter, I characterize a group of Striped Bass that were thought to be extirpated in the Saint John River, but likely survive as a remnant population. In the second chapter, I investigate connectivity and relatedness of Striped Bass populations more widely across their native range on the North American Atlantic Coast. I found that Gulf of St. Lawrence, Shubenacadie River, and Saint John River populations were all very distinct from each other and from US populations. US Striped Bass, however, could be separated into three major regions: Hudson River-Kennebec River, Chesapeake Bay-Delaware River, and Roanoke River-Cape Fear River. Demonstrating that this work is useful for management, my SNP loci were able to assign 99% of Striped Bass to these six regions, the first time Roanoke River Striped Bass have been reliably distinguished from Chesapeake Bay bass. Additionally, the presence of apparent US-origin Striped Bass on the northeastern coast of Nova Scotia raises important questions about movement patterns of Striped Bass in this area and highlights the importance of further study. In the third chapter, I used computer modelling simulations to assess the performance of four recent techniques used to find associations between phenotypes and genotypes. I found that Random Forest algorithm with population correction performed similarly to a recent, complex model implemented in confounder adjusted multiple testing. Finally, in chapter four I created 9 novel tools and used them to create an automated text-mining pipeline that can scan full-text articles and extract sentences that contain associations between genes and ecological variables. This pipeline is the first step toward improving genome annotations of non-model organisms such as Striped Bass. Together, these four chapters lay important groundwork for future genomic research both for Striped Bass and other ecologically important species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The striped bass (Morone saxatilis) is an anadromous fish distributed along the eastern coast of North America that currently supports one of the most lucrative and important commercial and recreational fisheries in the region. Since the recovery of the Atlantic stock after a collapse in the late 1970s, studies have focused on understanding the connectivity of major spawning grounds and improving methods of abundance estimation. Studies support strong site fidelity of striped bass to major estuaries along the Atlantic coast, but there has been disagreement about connectivity within the largest spawning ground, the Chesapeake Bay. Additionally, no estimates exist for striped bass abundance within the Chesapeake Bay. The objectives of my thesis were to examine the fine scale genetic population structure of striped bass within the lower Chesapeake Bay, and to test the feasibility of a novel, fishery-independent molecular methodology, close-kinship mark-recapture analysis (CKMR), to estimate spawning adult abundance within the Rappahannock River. Sampling of 1,132 adult striped bass and 389 young-of-year (YOY) striped bass was done during the 2016 and 2017 spawning seasons on major spawning grounds of the James, Mattaponi, and Rappahannock rivers. Twenty microsatellite loci were used to examine both the spatial genetic heterogeneity among the river systems and the temporal heterogeneity between sampling years within a river. Significant population pairwise FST values were recovered from 18 of the 21 pairwise comparisons. However, mean FST values between temporal comparisons were higher than those among spatial comparisons, suggesting a lack of biologically meaningful population structure among rivers. Additional analyses and a 30-year tagging data set also support a rate of connectivity among the major rivers high enough to maintain similar allele frequencies. Combined, the data support one genetic stock of striped bass within the lower Chesapeake Bay. The same suite of markers was then used to test the feasibility of CKMR to estimate adult abundance of striped bass within the Rappahannock River system. Using existing sampling programs, 371 spawning adults and 389 YOY were collected on the spawning and nursey grounds of the Rappahannock River in 2016. These samples yielded 2 parent-offspring pairs, resulting in an abundance estimate of 145,081 adult spawning striped bass. Additional analyses indicated that a relatively precise estimate (recovery of 50 POPs) would be made if sample sizes totaled 850 adults and 850 YOY. CKMR can be a feasible option of abundance estimation for striped bass. Overall, my study has provided the first estimate of abundance for Chesapeake Bay striped bass, and has provided strong support of a single, spawning stock of striped bass within the Chesapeake Bay.
