There has been no previous survey of the species residing in this area; therefore this will be a foundation for future samplings to compare to. The goal of this study was to compile a species list of fishes inhabiting the freshwater systems of the Abacoa Greenway Ranges IV and V, as well as a classification of exotic and native species inhabiting the area. A total of 11 species have been collected and identified between March 2007 and May 2008. Of these three species have been classified as exotic or introduced and the other eight as native species naturally existing in Florida.

These gaps exist for Bonefish (Albula spp.), a tropical marine fish and popular sportfish. In this study, aquaculture techniques were applied to Bonefish in a captive setting at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute (HBOI) and Cape Eleuthera Institute (CEI) to induce spawning and describe early ontogeny. Photothermal manipulations and hormone injections were used to induce gonad maturation and spawning, which was achieved once at CEI and is the first record of hormone-induced spawning for Bonefish. From that spawn, egg and larval development were recorded and described through 26 hours and 56 hours respectively, representing the first record of these early life stages for Bonefish. This work expands upon what is known about Bonefish reproductive biology and will be useful for management and future captive research.

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.

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.

Show moreThe Gulf of Mexico (GoM) contains a variety oceanographic features including; the Loop Current, cyclonic/anticyclonic eddies, common water, and the Mississippi River Plume. The relationship these features have on the community assemblages of Families Lutjanidae and Serranidae has been of great interest from both biological and economic standpoints. These families represent some of the most economically important fisheries in the GoM. Identifying the role these features play in the transportation of larval and juvenile nearshore species to offshore environments is vital to resource managers. Using data collected shortly after the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill via the NOAA Natural Resource Damage Assessment in 2011 as well as cruises conducted by the Deep Pelagic Nekton Dynamics of the Gulf of Mexico (DEEPEND) Consortium from 2015-2017, the faunal composition and abundance of these families were analyzed with respect to seasonality, oceanographic features, depth distribution, and time.

The resulting fusomas were screened for anti-blue marlin activity and a potential blue marlin specific hybridoma clone designated 605D was isolated and expanded in cell culture. While testing the reactivity of monoclonal antibody secreted by clone 605D against pooled serum samples of blue marlin, white marlin and sailfish in indirect ELISA, 605D could differentiate blue marlin from white marlin and sailfish clearly. The crossreactivity to white marlin was minimised by diluting sera samples and antibody solutions. However, when individual billfish serum samples and heart tissue homogenates were tested 605D could not differentiate between the two marlin species, though crossreactivity to SF was minimal.

Average survival times of shrimps were compared in species, size/density, and habitat selection studies. The results showed that S. hispidus had a preference for prey species while H. histrio did not. 30 mm shrimp survived longer than the 10 mm shrimp for both S. hispidus and H. histrio. Density was a factor in the survival times of the 20 mm shrimps with S. hispidus only. L. tenuicornis survived longer in artificial Sargassum habitats with H. histrio. The larger shrimps survived longer in the artificial habitats than the smaller shrimps with S. hispidus. Both fish predators employ optimal foraging strategies with similarities and differences, the latter of which are likely related to behavioral differences in the these predator and prey.

Show moreThe wahoo, Acanthocyhium solandri, is a pelagic marine fish which inhabits tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate waters worldwide. Despite being highly mobile and economically important over most of their range, there is little scientific data concerning population structure, movement patterns, or environmental preferences of wahoo. In this study I investigate wahoo genetic population structure and phytogeography on a global scale, and deploy pop-up satellite archival tags (PSA T's) in the western Atlantic Ocean to determine movement patterns and environmental preferences of wahoo. Wahoo population genetic structure was examined across their entire global range with intron six of lactate dehydrogenase-A (ldhA6, 10 locations, N = 213) and mtDNA cytochrome h (Cyth, 13 locations, N = 322). Results show extensive sharing ofhaplotypes and no significant structure between all locations (mtDNA ~ST < 0.0001, P = 0.634; nuclear FsT = 0.0125, P = 0.1 06). Overall nuclear heterozygosity (H = 0.714) and mtDNA haplotype diversity (h = 0.918) are both high, while overall mtDNA nucleotide diversity (n = 0.006) and nuclear nucleotide diversity (n = 0.004) are uniformly low. Coalescence indicates an effective female population size CNeF) at - 816,000, and a population bottleneck - 690,000 years ago. Movement patterns and environmental preferences were investigated by deploying PSA T's onto four individual wahoo in the western Atlantic Ocean. Tagging success rate (75%) validates the deployment protocol developed for this project. Results indicate that wahoo in the western Atlantic ocean spend the greatest portion of their time between 0 and 20 meters of depth, and between temperatures of 20oC and 26°C. More time was spent near the deeper extremes of their range during the nocturnal period, and daily visits to the surface were observed. Wahoo were observed traveling north in Fall and Winter, contrary to previous notions concerning the migratory movements of this species. The genetic results indicate a worldwide stock for wahoo, which reinforces the mandate for international cooperation on fisheries issues. The PSA T results demonstrate the value of the acquired data to the investigation of important life history parameters in pelagic species. The information generated from this project will benefit fisheries managers, marine biologists, evolutionary biologists, and both commercial and recreational fishing interests.

In aquaculture, extruded pellets are fed and this feeding apparatus results in pellets fracturing and loss of fragments through their gill rakers. The effect of pellet form (hard vs. soft) and size on fractured pellet waste (FPW) and production characteristics of Pompano reared in recirculating aquaculture systems was addressed. No difference in FPW between the standard pellet size and smaller pellet size treatments. However, a difference in FPW at first feeding of the day between the hard and soft pellet treatments was observed, with no difference in FPW present at the last feeding. Results suggest that pellet size does not reduce the amount of FPW produced, while the use of soft pellets reduces the amount of FPW.

Show moreThe mechanisms of larval fish transport have been rigorously studied in the past several decades, building foundational knowledge of key biological and environmental factors with which to inform decisions about species management. This study has been built upon information gained from previous studies to further elucidate the processes involved at the recruitment stage of larval fishes. Vertical swimming behaviors of larval fishes enable deliberate orientation within the water column to allow organisms of limited mobility greater control over their horizontal movements. Vertical accumulation patterns of larvae are found to be tightly dependent on the strength of stratification within the water column at nursery entrances, such as estuaries. Onshore currents, such as upwelling and surface intrusions, are found to be conduits for entry into these systems. This study observed and analyzed the influence of intrusions by the Gulf Stream into the Fort Pierce Inlet and the vertical accumulation patterns of late-stage larvae associated with those events. This study incorporated a well-established zooplanktonic abundance sampling technique to achieve two primary goals: (1) to analyze the vertical abundances of larval fishes in stratified flow during Gulf Stream intrusions and (2) to assess the correlation between larval influx and intrusion events. The results of this study show a significant and positive correlation between propagule pressure of larval fishes and incidence of Gulf Stream intrusion events. Whereas previous studies have primarily described the spatiotemporal aspects of larval transport in a broader sense, our findings revealed a greater layer of complexity in the mechanisms of transport by incorporating localized hydrographic features. The information gleaned from these results can inform the ecological considerations of future fisheries management and study efforts via additional understanding about the role of physical oceanographic events in a critical life stage.

Title: THE DETECTABILITY OF GOLIATH GROUPER SOUNDS IN NEARSHORE WATERS USING A NORMAL MODES PROPAGATION MODEL.
Creator: Marcheggiani, Joseph P., Cherubin, Laurent, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering and Computer Science
Abstract/Description: This research presents findings from an in-situ experiment utilizing a hydrophone line array to capture the sound production of the Goliath grouper. Analysis revealed that Goliath grouper calls exhibit multiple frequency components, including one high-amplitude component and 2 to 3 low-amplitude components. The primary high-amplitude component is concentrated in the 30 to 70 Hz band, peaking around 50 Hz, while low-amplitude components span 20 to 30 Hz, 70 to 115 Hz, and 130 to 200 Hz....

Analysis revealed that Goliath grouper calls exhibit multiple frequency components, including one high-amplitude component and 2 to 3 low-amplitude components. The primary high-amplitude component is concentrated in the 30 to 70 Hz band, peaking around 50 Hz, while low-amplitude components span 20 to 30 Hz, 70 to 115 Hz, and 130 to 200 Hz. Comparison between in-situ data and results from a normal modes transmission loss model identified regions where echo level increased with propagation distance. This suggests that the loudness of the call may not necessarily indicate proximity, indicating the Goliath grouper might rely on other cues for localization, such as changes in the frequency profile of its call. Two methods for estimating call distance are presented. The first method vi utilized a transmission loss model and measured transmission loss across a hydrophone line array. This method could also determine the source level of the calls, yielding source level estimates ranging from 124.01 to 144.83 dB re 1 μPa. The second method employed match field filtering, validating the accuracy of the transmission loss model. Both methods produced similar call distance estimations, ranging from 11.5 to 17.1 meters, placing the grouper inside or near its typical habitat.

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.

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.

Both sites were numerically dominated by Lagodon rhomboides, Eucinostomus gula, and E. argenteus, which (combined) comprised 63% of the total catch. The presence of young lutjanids, haemulids, serranids and sphyraenids indicates the role of this area as a nursery ground. Temporal patterns in species composition and abundance were examined through numerical classification. Species composition was more consistent over time than were corresponding abundances. Despite their proximity, the two sites exhibited differences in species composition and abundance. The role of biological, physical and historical factors are discussed in relation to the observed community patterns.
