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.

Abstract/Description
A description of Tilapia aurea based on specimens from Florida is presented with an updated synonomy. The Florida specimens are compared with descriptions of specimens from Israel. It is concluded that Florida specimens have the same range in morphological variability as specimens from Isreal. The experimental work completed here indicates that Tilapia aurea does not adversely affect native fish populations. It is speculated that Tilapia aurea may have stabilized the experimental fish...

It is concluded that Florida specimens have the same range in morphological variability as specimens from Isreal. The experimental work completed here indicates that Tilapia aurea does not adversely affect native fish populations. It is speculated that Tilapia aurea may have stabilized the experimental fish populations by a "polyculture effect."

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.

Abstract/Description
The Abacoa Greenway is a manmade artificial water system constructed in the late 1990s, and home to an array of aquatic flora and fauna. 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.

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.

Abstract/Description
The distribution and intensity of hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen, DO) is increasing due to eutrophication and algal blooms in estuaries like those in the Gulf of Mexico and the Indian River Lagoon. The objective of this study is to determine how low DO affects the development and lipid utilization of the Florida Pompano (Trachinotus carolinus) and Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus). Fertilized eggs were incubated in two DO hypoxia treatments: severe (20% DO saturation, 1.6 mg/L), moderate (50% DO...

The objective of this study is to determine how low DO affects the development and lipid utilization of the Florida Pompano (Trachinotus carolinus) and Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus). Fertilized eggs were incubated in two DO hypoxia treatments: severe (20% DO saturation, 1.6 mg/L), moderate (50% DO saturation, 3.9 mg/L), and normoxia (100% DO saturation, 7.6 mg/L). Eggs and larvae were sampled at 24-hours post-fertilization to assess hatch survival, larval development, and fatty acid (FA) lipids utilization. Results suggest hypoxia significantly impacts Florida Pompano development, with polar FAs most affected, while Red Drum shows greater tolerance to low DO. These findings provide insight into early fish larval stages to improve conservation and management strategies for their recruitment.

Abstract/Description
Channelization of the Kissimmee River from 1962 to 1971 altered the natural hydrology of the river/floodplain system. Results of construction of the C-38 canal included loss of continuous flow of water and loss of floodplain habitat which adversely impacted the fish community.

Show moreChannelization of the Kissimmee River from 1962 to 1971 altered the natural hydrology of the river/floodplain system. Results of construction of the C-38 canal included loss of continuous flow of water and loss of floodplain habitat which adversely impacted the fish community. In 1984 the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) constructed the Pool B demonstration project to evaluate the feasibility of a planned restoration project. To evaluate success of the demonstration project in enhancing the Pool B fish fauna, a hoop net sampling program was conducted in 1996. The data suggest that black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus) and other sport species in Pool B are benefiting from habitat enhancements resulting from the demonstration project. Additional analysis distinguishes black crappie as the only centrarchid sampled that maintains activity during nocturnal hours. Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) were most active during May sampling when water temperatures were optimal for spawning.

SNYDER, DAVID BRANT., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
The fish communities of two seagrass habitats near Jupiter Inlet, Florida, were studied from April 1981 to March 1982 to determine species composition, abundance, richness and occurrence. Monthly collections yielded a total of 23,156 specimens representing 47 families and 146 species. Both sites were numerically dominated by Lagodon rhomboides, Eucinostomus gula, and E. argenteus, which (combined) comprised 63% of the total catch.

Show moreThe fish communities of two seagrass habitats near Jupiter Inlet, Florida, were studied from April 1981 to March 1982 to determine species composition, abundance, richness and occurrence. Monthly collections yielded a total of 23,156 specimens representing 47 families and 146 species. 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.
