Creator
LAU, STEPHEN R., Florida Atlantic University, Courtenay, Walter R. Jr., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
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.

history of the saltwater sport fishing industry in Florida

A history of the saltwater sport fishing industry in Florida.

Abstract/Description
The sport fishing industry is a very important part of South Florida's lifestyle and economy. This thesis explore that industry, from its beginnings in the not too distant past to the current condition of the industry and the fishery which exists because of it. The thesis shows how the discovery of the fishery in South Florida was the call for thousands of fisherman from the north and from Europe.

Show moreThe sport fishing industry is a very important part of South Florida's lifestyle and economy. This thesis explore that industry, from its beginnings in the not too distant past to the current condition of the industry and the fishery which exists because of it. The thesis shows how the discovery of the fishery in South Florida was the call for thousands of fisherman from the north and from Europe. The "Golden Years" of the industry are shown through the writings and adventures of some of the greatest anglers in the world, such as Ernest Hemingway, Philip Wylie, and Michael Lerner. Conversely, the successes of those anglers and the waste of fishery resources, along with the man's meddling with the environment, will be explored. The thesis documents how the fishery and the industry may be saved from certain ruin through new laws and the application of common sense by all involved.

MARINE AND BRACKISH WATER FISHES OF SOUTHERN PALM BEACH AND NORTHERN BROWARD COUNTIES, FLORIDA

MARINE AND BRACKISH WATER FISHES OF SOUTHERN PALM BEACH AND NORTHERN BROWARD COUNTIES, FLORIDA.
Creator
Herrema, David J., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
Five hundred eighty-three (583) species of fishes in 115 families are recorded for this Atlantic coastal locality in southeastern Florida. Two hundred six (206) of these are considered primary reef species. Habitat preferences, depth distributions, and qualitative categories of abundance are included. One new species, Apogon leptocaulus Gilbert, and two new continental records, Acanthemblemaria chaplini Bohlke and Lipogramma trilineata Randall, were collected during this study. L. trilineata...
Show moreFive hundred eighty-three (583) species of fishes in 115 families are recorded for this Atlantic coastal locality in southeastern Florida. Two hundred six (206) of these are considered primary reef species. Habitat preferences, depth distributions, and qualitative categories of abundance are included. One new species, Apogon leptocaulus Gilbert, and two new continental records, Acanthemblemaria chaplini Bohlke and Lipogramma trilineata Randall, were collected during this study. L. trilineata is the first confirmed record of the family Grammidae in the continental United States. Micrognathus ensenadae (Silvester) is also added to the fish fauna of the United States. An additional 198 species and 11 families are recorded as neighboring to the study area. Zoogeographic comparisons are discussed. Tropical reef fishes maintain permanent populations at least as far north as Palm Beach, Florida. Five hundred references pertaining to Caribbean and south Florida fishes are cited.

Effects of a Disturbance Event on a Local Recreational Fishery on the East Coast of Florida
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. They move between offshore areas during spawning season and...
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.

Fishes of the Kissimmee River floodplain, prior to proposed restoration
Title
Fishes of the Kissimmee River floodplain, prior to proposed restoration.
Creator
Overdorf, Tobin Rogers., Florida Atlantic University, Courtenay, Walter R. Jr.
Abstract/Description
The density and diversity of fishes of the Kissimmee River Floodplain have been affected by channelization of the Kissimmee River. Reduced hydrology, human encroachment, and overall loss of habitat appear to have reduced the level of fish diversity and density within the floodplain of the Kissimmee River. This landmark study collected vegetative habitat and fish population density and diversity data within the altered floodplain for baseline information prior to initiation of river...
Show moreThe density and diversity of fishes of the Kissimmee River Floodplain have been affected by channelization of the Kissimmee River. Reduced hydrology, human encroachment, and overall loss of habitat appear to have reduced the level of fish diversity and density within the floodplain of the Kissimmee River. This landmark study collected vegetative habitat and fish population density and diversity data within the altered floodplain for baseline information prior to initiation of river restoration activities in the form of dechannelization. Secondary studies included poecillid fecundity data as well as a localized rotenone study within the previously restored am of Pool B. Overall results of the study indicate that post restoration floodplain fish collection studies should reveal increased fish density and diversity within the expanded and restored floodplain habitat.
