Download or read book Early Life History and Recruitment in Fish Populations written by R.C. Chambers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997-07-31 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the processes influencing recruitment to an adult fish population or entry into a fishery occur very early in life. The variations in life histories and behaviours of young fish and the selective processes operating on this variation ultimately determine the identities and abundance of survivors. This important volume brings together contributions from many of the world's leading researchers from the field of fish ecology. The book focuses on three major themes of pressing importance in the analysis of the role that the early life history of fishes plays in the number and quality of recruits: the selective processes at play in their early life history; the contributions of early life history to the understanding of recruitment.

After the second pair of fish bad cleared a similar space, a pint or more of gravel was scattered on the nest; the fish immediately began to remove the stones, and in a few minutes bad completely freed the nest from gravel. The gravel--regarded by bass and other fishes as desirable material for the bottom of nests--may be removed by the catfish for two reasons: (1) To have a clean place for the eggs and young, so that they may be better guarded, as hereafter described; (2) to provide a smooth place on which to rest and against which to rub the abdomen. All the observations thus far noticed were made on individuals confined in aquaria and of the species Ameiurus catus or A. nebulosus. The best account of the manner and location of nesting under natural, or sometimes rather unnatural, conditions, has been given by Albert C. Eyclesheimer, who had good opportunities to see the common bullhead of the north (Ameiurus nebnlosus). The observations were made in June. 1896 and 1898, in Wisconsin and Michigan. June 8, 1896, three nests were found in Fowler Lake, Wisconsin. Two of these were in pieces of stovepipe, the third in an old pail. The nests were in clear water, near a bold, rocky shore, and at a depth of four or live feet; nil contained embryos and each was guarded by a parent fish--which one I did not ascertain. On the following day, in searching for other nests, I raised a small piece of tin pipe and was surprised to find a pair within. Though the raising of the pipe they became so wedged that it was impossible for either to get free. They had not yet begun spawning, although the eggs were so ripe that they were easily extruded by slight pressure. Artificial fertilization was tried but was only partially successful. A small...

Download or read book Early Life History of Fish written by E. Kamler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the fishes, a remarkably wide range of biological adaptations to diverse habitats has evolved. As well as living in the conventional habitats of lakes, ponds, rivers, rock pools and the open sea, fish have solved the problems of life in deserts, in the deep sea, in the cold Antarctic, and in warm waters of high alkalinity or of low oxygen. Along with these adaptations, we find the most impressive specializations of morphology, physiology and behaviour. For example we can marvel at the high-speed swimming of the marlins, sailfish and warm-blooded tunas, air breathing in catfish and lungfish, parental care in the mouth-brooding cichlids and viviparity in many sharks and toothcarps. Moreover, fish are ofconsiderable importance to the survival ofthe human species in the form of nutritious and delicious food of numerous kinds. Rational exploitation and management of our global stocks of fishes must rely upon a detailed and precise insight of their biology. The Chapman and Hall Fish and Fisheries Series aims to present timely volumes reviewing important aspects of fish biology. Most volumes will be of interest to research workers in biology, zoology, ecology and physiology, but an additional aim is for the books to be accessible to a wide spectrum ofnon specialist readers ranging from undergraduates and postgraduates to those with an interest in industrial and commercial aspects of fish and fisheries.
Download or read book Early Life History of Marine Fishes written by Bruce Miller and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-06-10 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life cycles of fishes are complex and varied, and knowledge of the early life stages is important for understanding the biology, ecology, and evolution of fishes. In Early Life History of Marine Fishes, Bruce S. Miller and Arthur W. Kendall Jr., bring together in a single reference much of the research available and its application to fishery science—knowledge increasingly important because for most fishes, adult populations are determined at the earliest stages of life. Clear and well written, this book offers expert guidance on how to collect and analyze larval fish data and on how this information is interpreted by applied fish biologists and fisheries managers.
Download or read book Life Histories written by Martin Thiel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crustaceans are increasingly being used as model organisms in all fields of biology, including neurobiology, developmental biology, animal physiology, evolutionary ecology, biogeography, and resource management. Crustaceans have a very wide range of phenotypes and inhabit a diverse array of environments, ranging from the deep sea to high mountain lakes and even deserts. The evolution of their life histories has permitted crustaceans to successfully colonize this variety of habitats. Few other taxa exhibit such a variety of life histories and behavior. A comprehensive overview of their life histories is essential to the understanding of many aspects of their success in marine and terrestrial environments. This volume provides a general overview of crustacean life histories. Crustaceans have particular life history adaptations that have permitted them to conquer all environments on earth. Crustacean life cycles have evolved to maximize fecundity, growth, and ageing, in a wide range of environmental conditions. Individual contributions contrast benefits and costs of different life histories including sexual versus asexual production, semelparity versus iteroparity, and planktonic larvae versus direct development. Important aspects of particular behaviors are presented (e.g. migrations, defense and territorial behaviors, anti-predator behavior, symbiosis).

Download or read book Ecology and Evolution of Poeciliid Fishes written by Jonathan P. Evans and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of biology is populated by numerous model species or organisms. But few vertebrate groups have aided evolutionary and ecological research more than the live-bearing fishes of the family Poeciliidae. Found throughout tropical and subtropical waters, poeciliids exhibit a fascinating variety of reproductive specializations, including viviparity, matrotrophy, unisexual reproduction, and alternative mating strategies, making them ideal models for research on patterns and processes in ecology, behavior, and evolution. Ecology and Evolution of Poeciliid Fishes is a much-needed overview of the scientific potential and understanding of these live-bearing fishes. Chapters by leading researchers take up a wide range of topics, including the evolution of unisexual reproduction, life in extreme environments, life-history evolution, and genetics. Designed to provide a single and highly approachable reference, Ecology and Evolution of Poeciliid Fishes will appeal to students and specialists interested in all aspects of evolutionary ecology.
