Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A major landmark contribution to fisheries science and fish ecology. Rockfish populations are in a severe decline throughout the Northeastern Pacific, and the need for a deep understanding of their biology, ecology, and management has never been more critical. This book addresses all aspects of our current knowledge of this diverse and interesting group of groundfish species, and it is written clearly and with humor. An outstanding work!"--Larry G. Allen, California State University, Northridge "Quite simply the best account ever of the fascinating, diverse, and valuable rockfishes. If you are interested in the marine fishes of the Pacific Coast, you need this book."--Peter B. Moyle, author of Inland Fishes of California

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genus Sebastes consists of over 100 fish species, all of which are viviparous and long-lived. Previous studies have presented schemes on the reproductive biology of a single targeted species of the genus Sebastes, but all appear to possess a similar reproductive biology as evidenced by this and other studies. This atlas stages major events during spermatogenesis, oogenesis, and embryogenesis, including atresia, in six species of Sebastes (S. alutus, S. elongatus, S. helvomaculatus, S. polyspinis, S. proriger, and S. zacentrus). Our study suggests that the male reproductive cycle of Sebastes is characterized by 11 phases of testicular development, with 10 stages of sperm development and 1 stage of spermatozoa atresia. Ovarian development was divided into 12 phases, with 10 stages of oocyte development, 1 stage of embryonic development, and 1 stage of oocyte atresia. Embryonic development up to parturition was divided into 33 stages following the research of Yamada and Kusakari (1991). Reproductive development of all six species examined followed the developmental classifications listed above which may apply to all species of Sebastes regardless of the number of broods produced annually. Multiple brooders vary in that not all ova are fertilized and progress to embryos; a proportion of ova are arrested at the pre-vitellogenic stage. Reproductive stage examples shown in this atlas use S. elongatus for spermatic development, S. proriger for oocyte development, and S. alutus for embryological development, because opportunistic sampling only permitted complete analysis of each respective developmental phase for those species. The results of this study and the proposed reproductive phases complement the recommended scheme submitted by Brown-Peterson et al. (2011), who call for a standardization of terminology for describing reproductive development of fishes.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dispersal and speciation in the marine environment have long been key topics in evolutionary biology and more recently in conservation biology. The genus Sebastes, with approximately 110 species, is found throughout most of the world's cold-temperate seas. Their breadth of phenotypic and species diversity, ecological dominance, and importance to world fisheries has made them a focus of intensive study by countless researchers. In this dissertation, DNA sequence and microsatellite data were used to investigate patterns of speciation, distribution, and mating habits. In Chapter I, DNA sequence data from seven mitochondrial and two nuclear genes, were used to evaluate possible geographic origin, patterns and timing of dispersal, speciation patterns and drivers, and inter-species relationships. The data support a middle Miocene origin for Sebastes spp. in deep habitats of the Northwest Pacific followed by dispersal into the Northeast Pacific and eventually into the southern hemisphere, driven by progressive cooling and strengthening of major ocean currents. Previous hypothesized relationships, shown to be mostly poly- or para- phyletic, were revised in light of the findings. Chapter I provided evidence for two new "cryptic" species. In Chapter II, sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, in combination with nine microsatellite loci, was used to evaluate the geographic and bathymetric range of the vermilion rockfish species complex, as well as test for reproductive isolation between the putative species. Genetic analyses supported the presence of two species, separated primarily by depth of adult occurrence. This finding, in association with distribution patterns of 12 recent species pairs, suggests a novel speciation mode based upon the loss/truncation of an ontogenetic migration phase. In Chapter III, DNA sequence data from Chapter II was used to evaluate patterns of population connectivity and gene flow within the vermilion rockfish. A range-wide analysis showed high levels of genetic heterogeneity, likely driven by limited larval dispersal and barriers to gene flow across major oceanographic features. Patterns of paternity and mating system were investigated in Chapter IV using microsatellite loci. Paternity analyses were performed on larvae from both captive and wild populations, representing most major lineages found in Chapter I. Ten of the 17 examined species, showed evidence for multiple sires within a single brood. The implications for genetic diversity produced by this polygynandrous mating system are discussed.
