Book Taxonomic Status and Reproduction of Striped Bass  Morone Saxatilis  in Florida

Download or read book Taxonomic Status and Reproduction of Striped Bass Morone Saxatilis in Florida written by James M. Barkuloo and published by . 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.

Book Effects of Age 1 Striped Bass Predation on Juvenile Fishes in Western Albemarle Sound

Download or read book Effects of Age 1 Striped Bass Predation on Juvenile Fishes in Western Albemarle Sound written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, adult river herring (Alosa pseudoharengus, Alosa aestivalis) and American shad (Alosa sapidissima) fisheries were economically important in Albemarle Sound. Stocks of these species are currently in decline while stock estimates for striped bass (Morone saxatilis) have increased 10-fold for the Albemarle Sound-Roanoke River stock since the early 1990s. The primary goal of this study was to quantify the diet, prey selectivity and the predatory impact of age-1 striped bass on juvenile river herring and American shad in 2002 and 2003. Similar estimates were produced for juvenile yellow perch (Perca flavescens), a species with an expanding fishery. Striped bass and prey samples were obtained from 443 beach seine and 171 purse seine hauls from May through October in 2002 and 2003. Age-1 striped bass were primarily piscivorous from May onward in both years. Alosa spp. were a small component of age-1 striped bass diet in summer months but dominated diet in early fall months. Age-1 striped bass fed randomly with respect to Alosa spp. abundance during the summer and selected for them during early fall months. During summer 2003, selectivity for yellow perch decreased with concomitant decreases in importance as a prey item. Field estimates of consumption rates ranged from 3 to 8 % body weight per day while bioenergetics model estimates of consumption ranged from 4 to 12 % in 2002 and 3 to 10% in 2003. Age-1 striped bass density, diet, prey sizes eaten, and consumption rates were used to calculate loss rates due to predation and were compared with total loss rates from catch curves. There was interannual variation in the effects of predation. Age-1 striped bass predation had a marked effect on juvenile American shad densities in 2002 but had little influence on their numbers in 2003. Conversely, age-1 striped bass predation explained none of the loss in juvenile yellow perch in 2002 but accounted for nearly all of the loss in 2003. Thus, predation by striped bass.

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.

Book Maturation  Fecundity  and Spawning Frequency of the Albemarle Roanoke Striped Bass Stock

Download or read book Maturation Fecundity and Spawning Frequency of the Albemarle Roanoke Striped Bass Stock written by Jacob B. Boyd and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal striped bass, Morone saxatilis population in North Carolina, the Albemarle/Roanoke (A/R) stock has grown tremendously in size and age structure over the last twenty years necessitating an up-to-date maturity and fecundity schedule. The last study was conducted for the Albemarle Striped Bass Management Board in 1989-1990 by Olsen and Rulifson (1992) after the stock had crashed, and just before stock rebuilding took place. There have been many advances in the understanding of teleost reproduction since their study and in recent years, otolith microchemistry with concentrations of elements such as strontium (88Sr) has been used to determine movement and migration of different species to delineate movement from freshwater to more saline environments. The objectives of this study were to complete a maturation and fecundity schedule, compare results to Olsen and Rulifson (1992), and test the use of 88Sr to elucidate migration patterns. Samples were collected (n=453) in 2009 and 2010 on the Roanoke River near the spawning grounds and in Albemarle Sound during the pre-spawn, spawning, and post-spawn periods (March through May) with total lengths (TL) ranging from 300 to 1,080 mm corresponding to age-3 to age-16. Striped bass are total spawners with determinate fecundity maturing one clutch or group of oocytes each year and having primary growth oocytes (PG) at each stage of development. Female striped bass were 96.8% mature by age-4 with fecundity ranging from 176,873 eggs (age-3) to 3,163,130 eggs (age-16). These findings are different from Olsen and Rulifson (1992) who reported 92.9% mature by age-4 with 43.8% overall greater fecundity estimates attributed to the sample size and methodologies. Otoliths were examined using Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to determine changes in concentrations of the element 88Sr over the life of the fish that reflect high salinity or freshwater environments and fish were assigned residency (77.4%) or anadromy (22.6%). It is recommended that management agencies continue to consider age-4 female striped bass the first year class to contribute to the spawning population in the A/R stock and to keep the minimum size limit of 18 in in place; however, adjusting the slot limit of 22-27 in would be beneficial to fishermen without decreasing the spawning stock. It is recommended to continually monitor the reproductive rates of the population to ensure the health of the stock.
