- Behavioral Responses of Leatherback Juveniles (Dermochelys coriacea L) to Lights Used in the Longline Fishery.
- Creator
- Gless, Jodie M., Salmon, Michael, Florida Atlantic University
- Abstract/Description
-
The pelagic longline fishery is responsible for significant mortality to sea turtles as a result of foul hooking, entanglement in the lines, and internal injury after consuming the baited hook. Bait, gear and lights (used to attract the target fishes to the baits at night) are three variables that could also attract sea turtles to the lines. This study tests the role of the lights in attracting leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) turtles and compares their behavior to the loggerhead (Caretta...
Show moreThe pelagic longline fishery is responsible for significant mortality to sea turtles as a result of foul hooking, entanglement in the lines, and internal injury after consuming the baited hook. Bait, gear and lights (used to attract the target fishes to the baits at night) are three variables that could also attract sea turtles to the lines. This study tests the role of the lights in attracting leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) turtles and compares their behavior to the loggerhead (Caretta carelta), shown in previous studies to orient toward both lightsticks and battery powered LEDs used in the fishery. The same lights were used in experiments done on leatherbacks reared at Florida Atlantic University's Marine Laboratory. The leatherbacks were exposed to the lights at night when they were between 5 and 42 days old. The results show that leatherbacks, unlike loggerheads, either do not orient toward the lights or orient away from them at an angle that enabled the turtles to keep the light in their peripheral field cf view. Thus, the capture of leatherbacks in longlines is probably a consequence of other factors (such as attraction to the odor of the baits, or to natural prey located near the Iines) that need to be investigated through future research. The results also show that efforts to reduce the incidental capture and injury of marine turtles in longlines must be based upon a firm understanding of the similarities, as well as the differences, between turtle species.

- Electrogenic metals for elasmobranch bycatch mitigation.
- Creator
- Smith, Kieran Thomas., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
- Abstract/Description
-
Commercial longline fishing results in large amounts of incidental bycatch of elasmobranch fishes (sharks, skates, and rays). Teleost species lack electrosensory systems and development of technologies which target the ampullary organs of sharks provides an avenue to selectively deter elasmobranchs without affecting the catch rate of target teleosts. Electric field measurements and a controlled scientific longline study were conducted testing whether the lanthanide metal neodymium or zinc...
Show moreCommercial longline fishing results in large amounts of incidental bycatch of elasmobranch fishes (sharks, skates, and rays). Teleost species lack electrosensory systems and development of technologies which target the ampullary organs of sharks provides an avenue to selectively deter elasmobranchs without affecting the catch rate of target teleosts. Electric field measurements and a controlled scientific longline study were conducted testing whether the lanthanide metal neodymium or zinc/graphite might reduce elasmobranch catch per unit effort (CPUE). Baited longline hooks were treated with neodymium and zinc/graphite and catch rates were compared to that of controls. Shark CPUE decreased by 60% on neodymium treated hooks and 80% on zinc/graphite treated hooks. The effectiveness of both treatments varied among species with significant reductions shown for Atlantic sharpnose sharks (Rhizoprionodon terranovae) but less dramatic differences for others. Zinc/graphite is potentially a viable tool for reduction of shark bycatch in a commercial longline fishery.

- AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE NURSERY EFFECT OF SELECT REEF FISHES ALONG THE SOUTHERN FLORIDA COAST.
- Creator
- Pressly, Andrew, Hindle, Tobin, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Geosciences, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
- Abstract/Description
-
The nursery effect is a process where juvenile fish utilize coastal habitats to help them survive before moving to their adult habitat. This process establishes an important link between marine ecosystems. This study examines the nursery effect and nursery habitat utilization in the Indian River Lagoon and Florida Bay systems, and the coral reefs adjacent to them. Quantitative and spatial techniques were utilized to identify patterns of presence and abundance and the size structure of select...
Show moreThe nursery effect is a process where juvenile fish utilize coastal habitats to help them survive before moving to their adult habitat. This process establishes an important link between marine ecosystems. This study examines the nursery effect and nursery habitat utilization in the Indian River Lagoon and Florida Bay systems, and the coral reefs adjacent to them. Quantitative and spatial techniques were utilized to identify patterns of presence and abundance and the size structure of select fish species. Spatial analyses were also used to investigate distribution patterns. Findings from this study suggest that several species utilize to a high degree the Indian River Lagoon and Florida Bay as nurseries. Furthermore, the abundance of adults on coral reefs is strongly connected to the presence of nurseries. This study has implications in fisheries management such as locating where juveniles of species develop. With such knowledge, better management plans could be implemented to ensure healthy fish stocks.

- An evaluation of methodology, dispersal and habitat usage of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides floridanus) from a supplemental stocking on Lake Okeechobee, Florida.
- Creator
- Jordan, Alyssa., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
- Abstract/Description
-
The largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) fishery was at an all time low on Lake Okeechobee when experimental supplemental stockings were done to try and enhance local bass populations. Largemouth bass had never been stocked on a large lake like Lake Okeechobee. The objectives were to develop a methodology, study dispersal, and compare stocked versus wild bass habitat choices. The methodology underwent considerable changes between studies. Bass dispersed to the edges by the second sampling...
Show moreThe largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) fishery was at an all time low on Lake Okeechobee when experimental supplemental stockings were done to try and enhance local bass populations. Largemouth bass had never been stocked on a large lake like Lake Okeechobee. The objectives were to develop a methodology, study dispersal, and compare stocked versus wild bass habitat choices. The methodology underwent considerable changes between studies. Bass dispersed to the edges by the second sampling period, so a larger sampling area may be needed. Water depth and pH were found to be significantly different between wild and stocked bass. Hatchery bass are naèive about predators, which may have resulted in stocked bass not moving to shallower areas like wild bass. The pH was weakly correlated with depth, so differences may be partially due to the fact that as depth increases, pH may also increase.
