Title: PROTANDRIC SEX CHANGE IN CENTROPOMUS UNDECIMALIS, THE COMMON SNOOK.
Creator: McKenna, Brent, Baldwin, John, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Biological Sciences, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
Abstract/Description: Otolith increment morphology of the protandric hermaphrodite Centropomus undecimalis (snook) was analyzed in relation to age and length for sex specific growth differences to retroactively determine the time of sex change. Growth spurts in the otoliths of female snook, the terminal sex, were identified between ages 4 and 8, corroborating the current understanding of when sex change occurs (between 3 and 8). No such growth increases were identified on the otoliths of male snook, the primary...
Show moreOtolith increment morphology of the protandric hermaphrodite Centropomus undecimalis (snook) was analyzed in relation to age and length for sex specific growth differences to retroactively determine the time of sex change. Growth spurts in the otoliths of female snook, the terminal sex, were identified between ages 4 and 8, corroborating the current understanding of when sex change occurs (between 3 and 8). No such growth increases were identified on the otoliths of male snook, the primary sex. Otolith growth, however, was found to decouple from length, so these growth spurts are not reflected in the length of the fish. This study marks the first time that a distinct growth pattern differentiating the primary and terminal sexes, similar to that seen in the protogynous transitional growth spurt hypothesis, has been identified on the otoliths of a protandric species.

Title: Evaluation of monoclonal antibody technology for the species-specific identification of Centropomus undecimalis.
Creator: Potter, Christopher Samuel., Florida Atlantic University, Hartmann, James X.
Abstract/Description: A fusion was conducted using spleen cells from a hyperimmunized Balb/C mouse and a murine myeloma cell line, in an attempt to create monoclonal antibodies specific to parvalbumin from Centropomus undecimalis. The fusion protocol utilized a 24 well culture plate protocol. Initial results indicated the successful generation of antibody producing hybridomas specific to the desired parvalbumin; however, attempts to isolate and clone these cells were unsuccessful.

Show moreA fusion was conducted using spleen cells from a hyperimmunized Balb/C mouse and a murine myeloma cell line, in an attempt to create monoclonal antibodies specific to parvalbumin from Centropomus undecimalis. The fusion protocol utilized a 24 well culture plate protocol. Initial results indicated the successful generation of antibody producing hybridomas specific to the desired parvalbumin; however, attempts to isolate and clone these cells were unsuccessful. The study results clearly demonstrate some potential drawbacks to using the 24-well fusion protocol versus a 96-well protocol. The 24-well protocol seems to favor rapidly growing non-secreting cells due to the lower dilutions involved. This study was successful in isolating murine polyclonal antiserum reactive in isolating murine polyclonal antiserum reactive with piscine parvalbumin. Further, initial cultures of hybridomas were able to distinguish C. undecimalis from several other species of fishes thus confirming the suitability of parvalbumin as a biomaker protein.

Title: Effects of a Disturbance Event on a Local Recreational Fishery on the East Coast of Florida.
Creator: Noble, Jessica, Baldwin, John D., Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
Abstract/Description: Disturbance events occur outside the normal disturbance regime of a system and can cause changes in behavior of some organisms. The 2010 cold event is an example of a disturbance event that influenced the behavior of Common Snook (Centropomus undecimalis). Common snook are euryhaline sportfish native to Florida, Texas, and the Caribbean. Florida is the northern most part of their distribution, based on the 15o C winter isotherm.

Show moreDisturbance events occur outside the normal disturbance regime of a system and can cause changes in behavior of some organisms. The 2010 cold event is an example of a disturbance event that influenced the behavior of Common Snook (Centropomus undecimalis). Common snook are euryhaline sportfish native to Florida, Texas, and the Caribbean. Florida is the northern most part of their distribution, based on the 15o C winter isotherm. They move between offshore areas during spawning season and freshwater coastal rivers during non-spawning season. With the use of previously collected acoustic telemetry and biological data this project identifies the impact on population dynamics and movement near the time of the event. The goal is to understand fine scale movements and physiological conditions under normal and abnormal conditions to further inform management of the species.

Title: ICHTHYOPLANKTON RECRUITMENT WITHIN MANGROVE-DOMINATED MOSQUITO CONTROL IMPOUNDMENTS.
Creator: Rodrigue, Margaret, Hanisak, M. Dennis, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Environmental Sciences, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
Abstract/Description: Coastal wetlands across the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) on the east coast of Florida have been impounded for mosquito control purposes, which have been known to have adverse effects on overall fish populations. The objective of this project was to assess the use of culverts by species of larval fish at three impounded mangrove sites in the IRL.

Show moreCoastal wetlands across the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) on the east coast of Florida have been impounded for mosquito control purposes, which have been known to have adverse effects on overall fish populations. The objective of this project was to assess the use of culverts by species of larval fish at three impounded mangrove sites in the IRL. Light traps were used to collect samples of larval fish (both inside the basins and in the surrounding lagoon) which were humanely euthanized, preserved, and examined under a digital microscope. A total of 3,926 fish were collected from 24 taxa in 576 samples over the year-long study. Larval seasonality generally followed known reproductive seasonality of the species captured. Inside the impoundments were dominated by species known to spawn in and around mangroves such as the Gambusia holbrooki and Poecilia latipinna. Species that spawn in the IRL or in coastal waters that subsequently use the IRL as a nursery (such as Anchoa mitchilli and Gobiosoma robustum) had relatively low catches in the impoundments. Larvae of the main sportfishery species that have juveniles known to utilize the studied impoundments (Megalops atlanticus, the Atlantic tarpon, and Centropomus undecimalis, the common snook), were rarely caught inside the impoundments or in the surrounding IRL. The low numbers of IRL and offshore spawning larvae that enter the impoundments may be hindered by restricted water flow through culverts connecting the habitats, or by their inability to survive the low DO conditions often found inside the impoundments, especially during the summer. The lack of larval tarpon and snook in the light collections suggest that these species metamorphose from the larval to juvenile stage outside of the impoundments, before they enter the mangrove-dominated nursery habitats. The results of the study can be used to further modify impoundment restoration and management strategies to enhance their role as fish nursery habitats.

Title: Effects of parasitism on the reproduction of common snook.
Creator: Young, Joy M., Hughes, Colin, Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
Abstract/Description: The effect of parasitism on the individual, and on a population, is one of the least understood and poorly studied areas of fish ecology. Parasites compete for maternal energetic reserves required for the production of viable eggs and offspring; thus parasites can directly influence population dynamics by lowering the number of offspring that survive to produce. The goal of this work was to explore the effect of parasitism on the reproductive potential of fish. Traditional measures of somatic...
Show moreThe effect of parasitism on the individual, and on a population, is one of the least understood and poorly studied areas of fish ecology. Parasites compete for maternal energetic reserves required for the production of viable eggs and offspring; thus parasites can directly influence population dynamics by lowering the number of offspring that survive to produce. The goal of this work was to explore the effect of parasitism on the reproductive potential of fish. Traditional measures of somatic energy reserves and body condition were examined along with newer measures of fatty acids present in eggs to approximate reproductive potential. Eighty female common snook, Centropomus undecimalis, were collected during spawning season (mid April to mid October) from four spawning aggregations along the southeastern coast of Florida and examined for a suite of biological, reproductive, and parasite infection measures. General linear models were used to model somatic indices, body condition, fatty acid composition and the ratios of fatty acids in eggs as a function of parasite infection parameters, host age, capture location, capture month and year. All fish were included in the somatic indices and body condition analysis while a subset of 40 fish were used in the analysis on fatty acid composition and the ratios of fatty acids in eggs.

Title: ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES ON COMMON SNOOK (CENTROPOMUS UNDECIMALIS) MOVEMENT IN THE ST. LUCIE ESTUARY.
Creator: Kleiman, Lauren E., Baldwin, John, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Biological Sciences, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
Abstract/Description: Estuarine ecosystems are dynamic habitats, where the convergence of marine and freshwater results in constant fluxes in environmental abiotic parameters. Organisms must balance these variations within their optimal range to minimize physiological costs, often by movement from unsuitable to more suitable areas. Additional disruptions to ecosystem balances, such as anthropogenic hydrologic discharges, further alter environmental conditions and may cause population-wide movement responses of...
Show moreEstuarine ecosystems are dynamic habitats, where the convergence of marine and freshwater results in constant fluxes in environmental abiotic parameters. Organisms must balance these variations within their optimal range to minimize physiological costs, often by movement from unsuitable to more suitable areas. Additional disruptions to ecosystem balances, such as anthropogenic hydrologic discharges, further alter environmental conditions and may cause population-wide movement responses of mobile organisms. Responses to anthropogenic and natural fluctuations can differ based on time of year, life history stage, or individual characteristics. These ecologically-balanced dynamics are difficult to model. In this study, I examined variability in estuarine environmental data and common snook (Centropomus undecimalis) movement responses to anthropogenic and natural fluctuations in the environment in a managed waterway. ARIMA time series models were tested as a method of modeling variability in environmental parameters. Monthly variance was well described throughout most of the estuary, especially when the interannual and intra-annual patterns were stable, indicating that these models are a good method for these types of data and could be appropriate for forecasting. Euryhaline sportfish movement responses to high discharge events in a managed waterway were observed with passive acoustic telemetry and did not show large-scale, population-wide consistency. Responses were variable between and within individuals, but individual characteristics appear to have influenced behavior in response to disturbances. Thus, these sportfish populations may be more resilient to this type of disturbance than previously hypothesized. Generalized additive mixed effects models showed that the distribution and movement of individual fishes varied in response to multiple natural and anthropogenic factors, and there was no primary driver. The understanding of the relationships among the distribution and movement of fishes and abiotic and anthropogenic factors can guide management of waterways and provide insight into how changes will affect abiotic factors and communities.
