This book was released on 1970 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Striped bass from the Apalachicola and St. Johns Rivers in Florida were compared taxonomically with striped bass from other drainages on the Atlantic coast and Gulf of Mexico. Both rivers contain endemic striped bass populations. The Apalachicola River population was found to be a separate race. Sexually mature striped bass from the St. Johns were induced to spawn using hormonal injections. Few fry were produced due to extreme temperature fluctuations. Reproduction requirements and factors limiting the abundance of striped bass in Florida are discussed.

Download or read book Striped Bass and Other Morone Culture written by R.M. Harrell and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-05-23 with total page 387 pages. 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.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Striped bass is a long-lived species native to the east coast of North America and northeastern Gulf of Mexico with commercial, recreational, and ecological importance. In contrast to northeastern striped bass, southern populations are typically non-migratory and reside in coastal rivers and adjacent estuaries year-round. These habitats have been extensively modified in recent decades, and declines in striped bass abundance have been observed in many southern coastal systems. An understanding of habitat suitability is essential for successful management of striped bass populations. A bioenergetics model can be used to evaluate habitat suitability by interpreting growth rate potential under specified environmental conditions as an indicator of relative habitat quality. A bioenergetics model was developed for northeastern striped bass; however, due to regional life history differences, it was unknown whether the model accurately predicts environmentally-based growth in southeastern populations. Therefore, the bioenergetics model developed for Chesapeake Bay striped bass was field validated for use with southeastern coastal populations of striped bass using data from South Carolina's Ashley River. Cumulative model predictions of growth, based on water quality data collected in the Ashley River, were compared to striped bass field weights. The model successfully predicted relative annual growth rates and relative season-specific growth rates among three year classes of Ashley River striped bass. To inform management of striped bass in the Ashley River, the validated bioenergetics model was applied to five years of water quality data to quantitatively explore spatial, seasonal, and inter-annual variability in age-specific striped bass habitat quality (growth rate potential) in the Ashley River.

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.
Download or read book Past and Present Genetic Structure of Striped Bass Morone Saxatilis in the Carolinas and Effects from Stock Enhancement written by Andrew Patrick Anderson and published by . 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.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: In the Savannah River, management of Striped Bass relies heavily on movement information collected over 40 years ago, prior to a largescale fishery collapse which prompted an interstate harvest moratorium as well as a long-term stock restoration program. From late 2013 to 2019, a telemetry project of Striped Bass in the Savannah River was conducted in order to determine seasonal habitat use and characterize migration of the population which has not yet fully rebounded from the collapse. Utilizing an array of stationary receiver stations throughout the Savannah River downstream of J. Strom Thurmond Dam, 28 adult Striped Bass were tracked over a large geographic area for up to 3 years each. Resulting telemetry data revealed that departures from the primary spawning area occur with higher variation and much earlier than previously understood. Locations of fish during the putative spawning period suggest spawning is occurring over a larger geographic area than presumed. Passage of fish through New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam was documented, likely enabled by high discharge, and signifies a potential for Augusta shoals to provide much-needed supplementary thermal-refuge habitat for this population. Finally, I observed six migration events from the Savannah River to other coastal rivers, involving three different tagged individuals. Five of these migration events corresponded to the spring spawning window, as evidenced by water-temperature profiles and egg surveys in the Ogeechee River. This strong evidence of spawning connectivity between coastal rivers calls into question the south Atlantic striped bass philopatry paradigm and highlights the need for further research into the extent of this connectivity, and potentially the reevaluation of current management strategies.
Download or read book Natal Origin of Central Southern Management Area North Carolina Striped Bass Inferred from Otolith Microchemistry written by Jeffrey M. Dobbs and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) is an important commercial and game fish throughout North Carolina coastal waters. These fish have spawning populations present in all of the state's coastal rivers, however populations south of the Albemarle Sound in North Carolina have rarely been studied. These populations lie within North Carolina's immense Central Southern Management Area (CSMA). The CSMA stretches from the northernmost point of Pamlico Sound in the north down to the South Carolina border in the south. There are three main watersheds in the CSMA: the Tar/Pamlico River, the Neuse River, and the Cape Fear River. These rivers have spawning populations of striped bass, yet very few age 0 fish have been collected to support this in recent years. My study investigated the natal origin of CSMA striped bass through the use of water and otolith elemental analyses. Surface water samples and environmental data were collected once per month from 15 sample sites throughout the CSMA from May 2011 to July 2012. Two additional sample ponds from Edenton National Fish Hatchery were sampled once per week for two weeks in April 2012. Samples were analyzed for concentrations of calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), magnesium (Mg), barium (Ba), and manganese (Mn) using an inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer. Concentrations were recorded as element to Ca ratios to account for the role of Ca in otolith deposition. Salinity differed significantly by location, while temperature and dissolved oxygen differed significantly by month and season. Only temperature differed significantly by year. All measured elements were consistently detected at every sample site. All measured elements differed significantly by location, but only Mn differd by month, season, and year. A multivariate classification of samples to their river of origin yielded only 42% success. When the classification was narrowed to include only one low salinity sample site per river, samples were classified to their sample site of origin with 82% accuracy. Fish (N=251) were collected from the Neuse and Tar/Pamlico rivers from April 2011 to April 2012. Fish total length (TL), total weight (TW), gonad weight, and liver weight were collected to calculate relative weight (Wr), liver somatic index (LSI), and gonadal somatic index (GSI). Otoliths were removed for ageing and elemental analysis. Elemental analysis was conducted by measuring concentrations of Sr, Mg, Mn, and Ba in the natal origin region of the otolith using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Condition of fish collected in the Neuse and Tar/Pamlico was sub-optimal. Fish GSI follow predictable yearly cycles, but were maturing a full year earlier than Roanoke River striped bass. Using the Sr signature from otolith elemental analysis, 88.4% of fish originated from the hatchery. Fish determined to be of natural origin were classified to their river of origin with 58.0% accuracy, and to their management area of origin with 84.0% accuracy. This study suggests that striped bass has become a put and take fishery in the Neuse and Tar/Pamlico rivers.
