SURVEY OF THE FISH FAUNA IN THE SHALLOW MARINE WATERS OF CLAM LAGOON, ADAK, ALASKA
Title
A SURVEY OF THE FISH FAUNA IN THE SHALLOW MARINE WATERS OF CLAM LAGOON, ADAK, ALASKA.
Creator
HANCOCK, MAX JAY., Florida Atlantic University, Courtenay, Walter R. Jr., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
Abstract/Description
A seasonal sampling of fishes was collected by seine from the sand-gravel areas of Clam Lagoon, Adak, Alaska. The community structure was compared to the structure of communities described from surveys of other areas. The seasonality of the fish fauna was examined for possible relationships with three exogenous factors; salinity, temperature and wind velocity. Length frequency histograms and substrate preferences are presented for seven species. The shallow-water seasonality of 13 species is...

The community structure was compared to the structure of communities described from surveys of other areas. The seasonality of the fish fauna was examined for possible relationships with three exogenous factors; salinity, temperature and wind velocity. Length frequency histograms and substrate preferences are presented for seven species. The shallow-water seasonality of 13 species is presented. The ontogenetic and seasonal diets of seven species are discussed.

Abstract/Description
The hard clam aquaculture industry has largely been limited to the cultivation of the species Mercenaria mercenaria. Two Florida native species of clam, Noetia ponderosa and Anadara ovalis, commonly known as "Ark clams" are being studied for their viability as potential aquaculture species. Early development of the blood ark, Anadara ovalis (Bruguiere, 1789), and the ponderous ark, Noetia ponderosa (Say, 1822) was analyzed with an emphasis on the processes of meiotic maturation and early...
Show moreThe hard clam aquaculture industry has largely been limited to the cultivation of the species Mercenaria mercenaria. Two Florida native species of clam, Noetia ponderosa and Anadara ovalis, commonly known as "Ark clams" are being studied for their viability as potential aquaculture species. Early development of the blood ark, Anadara ovalis (Bruguiere, 1789), and the ponderous ark, Noetia ponderosa (Say, 1822) was analyzed with an emphasis on the processes of meiotic maturation and early embryogenesis through gastrulation, using light and fluorescence microscopy. Both A. ovalis and N. ponderosa oocytes were released at the metaphase I stage of meiosis and shared similar schedules of early development through initial veliger stage. Differences in the timing of development between species were negligible. In addition, the behavior and developmental timeline of the ark clams was very similar to that of Mercenaria mercenaria , which also reaches the D-shaped veliger stage in less than 24 hours.
