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.

Book Past and Present Genetic Structure of Striped Bass  Morone Saxatilis  in the Carolinas and Effects from Stock Enhancement

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.

Book Striped Bass and Other Morone Culture

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.

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.
