Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Otolith studies have become more prevalent in recent years as use has expanded from ageing to examination of migration patterns and fidelity to natal habitats, and more recently examining otoliths for possible maternal contribution to progeny otoliths. The otoliths of larval Striped Bass, Morone saxatilis (Walbaum; 1792), were used to determine the presence of maternal contribution through three experiments. The first experiment was to examine the formation of larval otoliths to determine if otoliths formed prior to/ during the yolk sac stage when maternal influences are present, and thus if maternal contribution is possible. Two of the three otolith pairs (sagitta and lapillus) are formed during the embryo stage (sagitta) or post hatch (lapillus). The sagittal otoliths are the most often used otolith in microchemical studies; therefore its formation during the embryo stage suggests maternal contribution to progeny otoliths is possible. The second experiment used microchemical analysis of adult Striped Bass soft tissue (muscle, liver, kidney, and gonads) to determine whether adult Striped Bass develop trace elemental signatures similar to the adult otoliths. The gonadal tissues (ovaries and testes) were found to have similar signatures to adult otoliths utilizing a linear discriminate function analysis. As the two previous experiments support the hypothesis of maternal contribution the final step was to run a discriminate function analysis between the progeny and maternal otoliths. Embryo sagittal otoliths correctly identified the maternal clusters 91.67% of the time (n = 12), yolk sac larvae 66.67% of the time (n = 15), and non-yolk sac larvae only 60.94% of the time (n = 64). Progeny otoliths were also able to identify maternal river (Neuse, Roanoke or Tar); embryos classified the river 83.33% of the time (n = 12), yolk sac larvae classified 93.33% of the time (n = 15), and non-yolk sac larvae classified with 44.44% (n = 72) accuracy. Results of this study validate the hypothesis of maternal contribution and support the hypothesis of maternal life history determination from progeny.

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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the hybrid striped bass (HSB; female white bass, Morone chrysops x male striped bass, M. saxatilis) supports the fourth most valuable form of finfish aquaculture in the United States, neither parental species has been genetically improved. Expansion of the HSB industry is limited by culture inefficiencies associated with reliance on wild broodstock for annual fingerling production. Domestication and selective breeding are expected to increase production efficiency and to promote market expansion. Resource limitations currently prohibit the individual rearing of multiple larval families for striped bass performance testing, necessitating a breeding program that is based on communal rearing of progeny groups with molecular markers as genetic tags for offspring identification. This dissertation research addresses fundamental questions relevant to selective breeding of the male parent of the HSB, the striped bass, including: (1) Evaluation of genetic variation within a captive striped bass broodstock population; (2) Examination of the feasibility of communal rearing protocols based on microsatellite markers for progeny identification during performance evaluations of striped bass; (3) Assessment of paternal variation in performance traits of striped bass at both research and commercial scale throughout the HSB production cycle. Examination of three captive striped bass broodstock strains using three highly variable microsatellite markers revealed that the broodstock population contains moderately high genetic diversity, with an average allelic richness of 13.7 alleles per locus and an average observed heterozygosity of 0.84. Crosses among the three differentiated strains should provide a valuable starting point for establishing a highly variable base population for selective breeding. Twenty-four experimental families were produced from captive, genotyped broodstock for communal evaluations of progeny survival and performance. Parentage was determined by micros.
