This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of hard structures to derive ecological information about fish populations is a fundamental tool in fisheries assessment, specifically the back-calculation of fish lengths. This study highlights the potential errors associated with correction factors (c) because of poor sampling and provides a validation of (c) values. In addition, classical fisheries assumptions about the relationship between scale radius and fish body length were tested. As a result, variability or error of correction factors can be reduced by having a minimum of 30 samples with at least 4 age classes represented. Alternatively the (c) provided can be used as a standard (c) factor for each species, eliminating the variance caused by poor sampling. Finally, the development of standard intercept values (based on observation of juvenile fish) should be promoted to replace or validate mathematically derived (c). The ability to accurately determine the age and growth of fish is an important tool in fishery biology and therefore it is fundamental to this work that all steps should be taken to increase the accuracy of back-calculated length-at-age data and account for size when fish lay down scales. To account for potential error associated with a correction factor, larval fish were routinely sampled to identify patterns of squamation, providing preliminary reference data for correction factors used in back-calculation of fish length-at-age. Determination of the length at squamation for more specimens will allow for the derivation of standard correction factors for each species that can be used across the species' distribution. Geometric morphometric (GM) analysis of fish scales has been shown to be a good discriminator of genera using a fixed landmark approach. However, freshwater fish scales are often irregular in shape; therefore it is not possible to identify identical locations on all individuals. This study provides evidence that scale morphology can be used to discriminate riverine fish species. The analysis of fish scale morphology is inexpensive, quick, non-destructive, and informative and could easily be added to existing monitoring programmes. This study highlights the potentially important and opportunistic information that can be gained from the GM analysis of fish scales. It is therefore anticipated that this study will be fundamental in shaping future fish population assessments. It is recognised amongst scientists that fish growth rates vary across a catchment, with species typically achieving greater growth rates in their 'preferred' habitats. Similarly, previous authors have identified that growth variation exists for different species and populations. This study has found that the geographic location of a river/region influences the growth rates of freshwater fishes commonly found in England. The method of constructing regional growth curves and subsequent statistical analysis discussed in this study should be adopted by fisheries scientists, because current national growth rates may be unachievable in specific regions. Furthermore, current national curves are inappropriate for growth and population analysis because they may be biased by an individual river and/or region. This study is one of the few studies to examine the differences between regional recruitment success, and found similarities and differences at both the regional and national level. With recruitment success a key requirement of monitoring fish populations under the WFD, it is hoped the information provided here will aid fisheries scientists to understand the factors affecting regional and national recruitment success. Studies on the impact of climate change on fish populations have typically focused on suggesting, rather than predicting, the effects on lentic species rather than lotic species. Furthermore, these studies often deal with American rather than European ecosystems. To address this, predicted changes in the climate of the UK were used to model likely influences on fish populations, expressed as the length of young of year (YOY) fish achieved by the end of the first growth period (May-September), juvenile and adult growth (annual growth increment, AGI) and recruitment success (year class strength, YCS), for three cyprinid fish. This study found that climate change is likely to increase the propensity for cyprinid fish to thrive, although the exact mechanism will depend on inter-annual variability in temperature rises and the timing of flow events. Notwithstanding the limitations of this study, it provides ecologists with a greater understanding of climate change and its potential impact on European, lotic fish populations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Scales's genuine appreciation and awe for fish are contagious.'- Science 'Delightful' - New Scientist Seventy per cent of the earth's surface is covered by water. This vast aquatic realm is inhabited by a multitude of strange creatures and reigning supreme among them are the fish. There are giants that live for centuries and thumb-sized tiddlers that survive only weeks; they can be pancake-flat or inflatable balloons; they can shout with colours or hide in plain sight, cheat and dance, remember and say sorry; some rarely budge while others travel the globe restlessly. And yet the mesmerising and complex lives of fish remain largely underrated and unseen, living hidden beneath the waterline, out of sight and out of mind. Helen Scales is our guide on an underwater journey, as we fathom the depths and watch these animals going about the glorious business of being fish. As well as the fish, we meet devoted fishwatchers past and present, from voodoo zombie potion hunters and scientists who taught fish how to walk to nonagenarian explorers of the deep sea. Woven throughout are vignettes of Helen's own aquatic explorations, from eerie nighttime dives with glowing fish and up-close encounters with giant manta rays, to floating in the middle of a swirling shoal being watched by thousands of inquisitive eyes. As well as being a rich and entertaining read, this book will inspire readers to think again about these animals and the seas they inhabit, and to go out and appreciate the wonders of fish, whether through the glass walls of an aquarium or, better still, by gazing into the fishes' wild world and swimming through it.

This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring Biology in the Laboratory: Core Concepts is a comprehensive manual appropriate for introductory biology lab courses. This edition is designed for courses populated by nonmajors or for majors courses where abbreviated coverage is desired. Based on the two-semester version of Exploring Biology in the Laboratory, 3e, this Core Concepts edition features a streamlined set of clearly written activities with abbreviated coverage of the biodiversity of life. These exercises emphasize the unity of all living things and the evolutionary forces that have resulted in, and continue to act on, the diversity that we see around us today.
