Abstract/Description
Advanced embryos, larval and early juvenile snook, Centropomus undecimalis, are described from laboratory reared specimens. This description includes details of advanced embryos, changes in body shape, pigmentation, and osteological development. Eggs ranged from 0.68 to 0.73 mm in diameter with a single oil globule. Larvae were between 1.4 and 1.5 mm standard length at hatching. The yolk sac was absorbed by 2.2 mm and adult pigmentation began to appear on the head and fins by 7.0 mm....

This description includes details of advanced embryos, changes in body shape, pigmentation, and osteological development. Eggs ranged from 0.68 to 0.73 mm in diameter with a single oil globule. Larvae were between 1.4 and 1.5 mm standard length at hatching. The yolk sac was absorbed by 2.2 mm and adult pigmentation began to appear on the head and fins by 7.0 mm. Ossification had commenced by 5.5 mm and all bones, except the ethmoid and preyomer, had at least begun to ossify by 21.9 mm. Illustrations of snook eggs and larvae, including details of the caudal skeleton, are presented to show changes that occurred during development.

Abstract/Description
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 prompted an enormous survey effort to assess the under-studied, deep-ocean ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico. The resulting samples and datasets afforded a unique opportunity to study the ecology of a poorly known group of mesopelagic fishes, the barracudinas (Aulopiformes: Paralepididae). Here we address several important data gaps regarding the ecology of the Paralepididae. Our results indicate that a majority of barracudina species are efficient at...
Show moreThe Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 prompted an enormous survey effort to assess the under-studied, deep-ocean ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico. The resulting samples and datasets afforded a unique opportunity to study the ecology of a poorly known group of mesopelagic fishes, the barracudinas (Aulopiformes: Paralepididae). Here we address several important data gaps regarding the ecology of the Paralepididae. Our results indicate that a majority of barracudina species are efficient at avoiding research-sized nets, suggesting that their overall abundance has been historically underestimated. Notable differences in vertical distribution, seasonal abundances of sizes classes, and diets were observed among the three major sub-groups of the family, with potential implications to ecosystem-based management of deep-pelagic fisheries. This thesis is dedicated to all the fish, squids, and shrimps that gave their lives to make these data and to those that endured the hardship of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Abstract/Description
Atlantic billfishes (family Istiophoridae) are overexploited and often illegally harvested. To address both of these problems, a rapid means of identifying billfish carcasses is needed. This thesis describes a simple and rapid Nalge Nunc-Immuno(TM) Stick-based direct sandwich assay for sailfish identification that can be performed in the field. A species-specific anti-sailfish monoclonal antibody, covalently bound to the Nalge Nunc-Immuno(TM) Stick's polystyrene surface, was used to capture a...
Show moreAtlantic billfishes (family Istiophoridae) are overexploited and often illegally harvested. To address both of these problems, a rapid means of identifying billfish carcasses is needed. This thesis describes a simple and rapid Nalge Nunc-Immuno(TM) Stick-based direct sandwich assay for sailfish identification that can be performed in the field. A species-specific anti-sailfish monoclonal antibody, covalently bound to the Nalge Nunc-Immuno(TM) Stick's polystyrene surface, was used to capture a biomarker molecule---serum albumin---from sailfish tissue samples. This antibody-antigen interaction was visualized by utilizing peroxidase-conjugated anti-billfish monoclonal antibodies or polyclonal antibodies together with a precipitating substrate. This technique successfully differentiated between sailfish and other fishes within 15 minutes, with a high degree of sensitivity and accuracy. This assay has many potential applications for species identification.
