Download or read book The Ecology of Marine Fishes written by Dr. Larry G. Allen and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2006-02-15 with total page 1353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine fishes have been intensively studied, and some of the fundamental ideas in the science of marine ecology have emerged from the body of knowledge derived from this diverse group of organisms. This unique, authoritative, and accessible reference, compiled by 35 luminary ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and ichthyologists, provides a synthesis and interpretation of the large, often daunting, body of information on the ecology of marine fishes. The focus is on the fauna of the eastern Pacific, especially the fishes of the California coast, a group among the most diverse and best studied of all marine ecosystems. A generously illustrated and comprehensive source of information, this volume will also be an important launching pad for future research and will shed new light on the study of marine fish ecology worldwide. The contributors touch on many fields in biology, including physiology, development, genetics, behavior, ecology, and evolution. The book includes sections on the history of research, both published and unpublished data, sections on collecting techniques, and references to important earlier studies.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To determine the linkages between nursery habitat utilization and the population dynamics of a coastal finfish of southern California, the California halibut, Paralichthys californicus, the following questions were asked: (1) What are the habitat associations (distribution patterns) of juvenile halibut among nearshore ecosystems (2) What are the nursery habitat origins for the individual fish that successfully recruit to the adult population, and can the contributions from individual nursery types be predicted from distribution data? (3) Over what spatial scale are nursery contributions realized? (4) What role do nurseries play in regulating population size? and (5) What are the demographic consequences (population growth) related to utilization of nursery habitat alternatives? Potential nurseries in San Diego County, California, were grouped using a novel classification scheme that delineated exposed, bay, lagoon and estuarine environments. Retroactive assignment of nursery origin for individual fish via elemental fingerprinting indicated that exposed coasted, bays, lagoons and estuaries contributed 42%, 45%, 11% and 2% of advancing juvenile California halibut during 2003 and 2004, respectively. These results were remarkably similar to the expected contribution from nursery habitats based on field surveys, indicating that in this system juvenile distributions are a good indicator of unit-area productivity of nurseries. Over smaller scales, unique chemical fingerprints were observed along the main-axis of coastal embayments (Punta Banda Estuary, Baja California, Mexico and Mission Bay, California) and were used to document the contribution of individual embayment zones. Results from the Punta Banda Estuary indicated that the majority of embayment contribution is derived from the lower two-thirds of the embayment system, and that individual zones within the embayment are utilized differently throughout the year by juvenile halibut. Elemental fingerprinting also revealed that individuals egressing from bays did not migrate far from their nursery origin (

Download or read book Flatfishes written by Robin N. Gibson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fascinating and instantly recognizable, flatfishes are unique in their asymmetric postlarval body form. With over 800 extant species recognized and a distribution stretching around the globe, these fishes are of considerable research interest and provide a major contribution to commercial and recreational fisheries worldwide. This second edition of Flatfishes: Biology and Exploitation has been completely revised, updated and enlarged to respond to the ever-growing body of research. It provides: • Overviews of systematics, distribution, life history strategies, reproduction, recruitment, ecology and behaviour • Descriptions of the major fisheries and their management • An assessment of the synergies between ecological and aquaculture research of flatfishes. Carefully compiled and edited by four internationally-known scientists and with chapters written by many world leaders in the field, this excellent new edition of a very popular and successful book is essential reading for fish biologists, fisheries scientists, marine biologists, aquaculture personnel, ecologists, environmental scientists, and government workers in fisheries and fish and wildlife departments. Flatfishes: Biology and Exploitation, Second Edition, should be found in all libraries of research establishments and universities where life sciences, fish biology, fisheries, aquaculture, marine sciences, oceanography, ecology and environmental sciences are studied and taught. Reviews of the First Edition • A solid, up-to-date book that advanced students and research scientists with interests in fish biology will find interesting and useful. Aquaculture International • A data-rich book that outlines much of what you might ever want to know about flatfishes. Fish & Fisheries • Well presented with clear illustrations and a valuable source of information for those with a general interest in fish ecology or for the more specialist reader. You should make sure that your library has a copy. J Fish Biology • An excellent and very practical overview of the whole, global flatfish scene. Anyone interested in flatfish at whichever stage of the economic food chain should invest in a copy immediately. Ausmarine • Because of the high quality of each chapter, written by international experts, it is a valuable reference. Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries

This book was released on 2015 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contaminated sediments in marine environments have been shown to be good indicators of ecological risk and a means to assess anthropogenic impacts on marine habitats and the animals that inhabit them (Long et al. 1995, Rattner 2009). Estuarine sediments are especially complex media with regard to physical, chemical, and biological characteristics that trap, store, modify and sometimes release contaminants to the biota (Long et al. 1995). Especially vulnerable are animals that are in constant contact with the sediments, such as flatfishes that partially bury themselves for camouflage (Costa et al. 2011). Impacts can be assessed in a number of ways, one of which involves measuring biomarkers, changes in biological responses ranging from molecular through cellular and physiological responses to behavioral modifications that can be related to the magnitude and duration of exposure (van der Oost et al. 2003). Examining the effects of contaminants on fishes in complex environments requires using multiple biomarkers, which is why a preferred method in areas with sublethal concentrations of contaminants is to use a combined biomarker index to quantify impacts (Sole et al. 2010, Pereira et al. 2010a, b). Juvenile California halibut (Paralichthys californicus) use bays and estuaries as nursery habitats during their first year of life (Forrester and Swearer 2002, Fodrie and Mendoza 2006, Fodrie and Herzka 2013). Studies of young halibut show that they prefer shallow areas with fine sediments and gradually move into deeper, sandier habitats as they grow (Fodrie and Herzka 2008, Lopez-Rasgado and Herzka 2009). In Mission Bay, San Diego, higher concentrations of multiple inorganic and organic contaminants have been found in the back bay (which is shallow with fine sediment and receives input from storm water outfalls) and in boat basins, although not at levels that are acutely fatal to juvenile halibut (Stransky 1999). Some contaminants of interest in Mission Bay are heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn) and compounds associated with anthropogenic inputs, like petroleum hydrocarbons, pesticides and other organic contaminants that have the potential to bioaccumulate. The purpose of this project was to compare contaminant concentrations in sediments to liver, kidney and gill biomarkers in juvenile California halibut caught in different parts of Mission Bay to examine relationships between the distribution of contaminants in Mission Bay and physiological condition of juvenile halibut.
