Trophic Ecology of the Slender Snipe Eel, Nemichthys scolopaceus (Anguilliformes: Nemichthyidae)
Title
Trophic Ecology of the Slender Snipe Eel, Nemichthys scolopaceus (Anguilliformes: Nemichthyidae).
Creator
Feagans, Jennifer N., Sutton, Tracey T., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
Roughly 92% of the total volume of Earth's oceans is considered deep sea. The eel species, Nemichthys scolopaceus, inhabits these waters, and little is known of its diet, its place within pelagic food webs, and its overall ecological impact. In this study we quantitatively estimate the abundance, feeding and predation impact of this key predator. Specimens were collected in 2004 along Georges Bank as part of the Census of Marine Life Gulf of Maine project. Gut contents were analyzed,...
Show moreRoughly 92% of the total volume of Earth's oceans is considered deep sea. The eel species, Nemichthys scolopaceus, inhabits these waters, and little is known of its diet, its place within pelagic food webs, and its overall ecological impact. In this study we quantitatively estimate the abundance, feeding and predation impact of this key predator. Specimens were collected in 2004 along Georges Bank as part of the Census of Marine Life Gulf of Maine project. Gut contents were analyzed, revealing thirteen prey types, primarily euphausiids and decapod crustaceans. Other potential prey (i.e. fishes) were absent from the diet, suggesting a fairly selective feeding preference. Of the 85 fish species collected, N scolopaceus ranked second in abundance and first in total fish biomass. Therefore, this species is not only a large biomass contributor, but perhaps cycles a great deal of macrocrustacean carbon through deep-pelagic fishes in this, and likely other, ecosystems.

QUANTITATIVE COMPARISON OF THE EPIFAUNA ON THALASSIA TESTUDINUM KONIG IN THREE HYDROGRAPHICALLY DISTINCT AREAS IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA

A QUANTITATIVE COMPARISON OF THE EPIFAUNA ON THALASSIA TESTUDINUM KONIG IN THREE HYDROGRAPHICALLY DISTINCT AREAS IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA.
Creator
WALESKY, RICHARD EDWARD, Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
The invertebrate macrofauna and algal epiphytes occurring on Thalassia in three hydrographically distinct areas in southern Florida were sampled during 14 June-21 June, 1974. A total of 178 invertebrate species was collected. The dominant non-colonial invertebrate taxa were Amphipoda, Isopoda, Mollusca, Polychaeta, and Tanaidacea. These groups included 93.8% of the fauna and 70.4% of the non-colonial invertebrate species. A relatively high faunal homogeneity was observed on each site....

A total of 178 invertebrate species was collected. The dominant non-colonial invertebrate taxa were Amphipoda, Isopoda, Mollusca, Polychaeta, and Tanaidacea. These groups included 93.8% of the fauna and 70.4% of the non-colonial invertebrate species. A relatively high faunal homogeneity was observed on each site. Turbidity and the abundance of algal epiphytes were important environmental factors affecting the observed differences in the composition and density of the epifauna between sites. Similarities in diversity (H') between Chicken Key (2.75), Lake Surprise (2.89) and San Carlos Bay (2.93), were presumably due to equivalent substrates with similar degrees of environmental instability. The Thalassia epifauna showed a high degree of parallelism with the Zostera marina epifauna.
