Bibliography Of The Monogenetic Trematode Literature Of The World, 1758 To 1982, William J. Hargis Jr., Dennis A. Thoney

Reports

Interest in the monogenean parasites has grown markedly in the last twenty years. To enhance and speed world-wide research activity, we prepared the first edition of this bibliography in 1969. This latest effort is intended to do the same.


Energy Utilization In Bay Anchovy And Black Sea Bass Eggs And Larvae Contrasting Ecological Roles, John Wotring Tucker Jr Jan 1983

Energy Utilization In Bay Anchovy And Black Sea Bass Eggs And Larvae Contrasting Ecological Roles, John Wotring Tucker Jr

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

The objective of this study was a comparison of developmental changes and energy utilization in eggs, unfed larvae, and fed larvae of two marine fish species that both have pelagic early stages, but differ in phylogeny and early life ecology. The bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli), a clupeiform, spawns in estuaries and shallow coastal waters. The black sea bass (Centropristis striata striata), a perciform, spawns offshore at 15-50 m depths. Densities of zooplankton eaten by first-feeding fish larvae are normally higher in coastal waters than offshore. An important determinant of survival of larval fishes is their ability to fulfill nutritional requirements …

Dorsal And Anal Pterygiophore Interdigitation Patterns In Four Species Of Morone (Teleostei, Percichthyidae) : An Aid To Larval Identification, John E. Olney, George C. Grant, Fred E. Schultz, C. Laurence Cooper, John Hageman Jan 1983

Dorsal And Anal Pterygiophore Interdigitation Patterns In Four Species Of Morone (Teleostei, Percichthyidae) : An Aid To Larval Identification, John E. Olney, George C. Grant, Fred E. Schultz, C. Laurence Cooper, John Hageman

Reports

The diagnostic potential of dorsal and anal pterygiophore interdigitation patterns was examined in larval stages of Morone saxatilis, M. chrysops, M. americana and M.mississippiensis. The number and position of pterygiophores relative to interneural spaces 1-6 and 10-13 and interhaemal spaces 12-15 as well as total number of dorsal and anal pterygiophores are characters useful in delimiting larvae of American Morone species. Interdigitation patterns useful in separating M. mississippiensis and M. americana larvae were not found, however these two species may not co-occur.
