This study therefore aims to contribute to the knowledge of the feeding ecology of this invasive species in Al Massira Reservoir, with particular emphasis on seasonal and intraspecific diet variation. Analysis of stomach contents revealed that the pike perch diet consists of various prey items, with an abundance of Lepomis gibbosus. However, S. lucioperca is also an opportunistic predator, capable of consuming other food resources when they become available in its habitat. This opportunistic behavior may account for the successful establishment of this species' population in a large reservoir, despite the coexistence of other carnivorous fish species. The dietary composition indicated a carnivorous diet with considerable seasonal variation. There was no significant sex-related or ontogenetic variation in the diet. The feeding intensity is similar between males and females, as well as across different size classes, but it varies according to the seasons. The results provide fundamental information about the feeding habits of this species, which is used for artificial culture research.","PeriodicalId":11799,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Biology of Fishes","volume":"163 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142200420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to its importance to small-scale fisheries, information regarding its trophic ecology is essential for the development of sustainable management plans. Using combined stomach content (SCA) and stable isotope analysis (SIA), the current study examined Atlantic bigeye feeding ecology, including evidence for ontogenetic and intra-annual (i.e. seasonal) diet variation. The diet of Atlantic bigeye was comprised of 16 prey species but was dominated by pelagic crustaceans (53.3% in number) and pelagic fish (19.7%), and benthic crustaceans (11.0%). SCA identified diet variation among seasons (higher dissimilarity in Spring vs. Autumn), which is most likely related to the occurrence of intense coastal upwellings. Significant positive relationships between fish size and δ15N and δ13C values indicated an ontogenetic diet and potential habitat shift; broad isotopic niche area in small individuals (size class I: 115–169 mm) narrowed with increasing body size with the highest niche overlap occurring between size class II (170 to 243 mm) and class III (244 to 308 mm). Overall, the combined SCA and SIA approach determined that the Atlantic bigeye’s diet is closely connected to the pelagic food web. These data provide an improved understanding of ontogenetic and seasonal variation in Atlantic bigeye predator-prey interactions in the southwestern Atlantic.","PeriodicalId":11799,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Biology of Fishes","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142200421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In locations where catch data are lacking, long-term sightings data can provide valuable insight to infer population trends and status. We recorded underwater sighting data of reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi), oceanic manta rays (M. birostris), and shorthorned pygmy devil rays (M. kuhlii) between 2003 and 2023 in the waters off Praia do Tofo in the Inhambane Province, southern Mozambique, one of the major global hotspots for these rays. We modelled sightings data using a hierarchical generalised linear mixed model framework to account for a suite of environmental variables when examining temporal trends. Raw trend models including only ‘year’ as a predictor showed a 99% decline in sightings of reef manta rays, a 92.5% decline in oceanic manta ray sightings, and an 81.3% decline in devil ray sightings over the 20-year study period. The declining trends persisted for reef and oceanic manta rays once a suite of temporal and environmental variables were accounted for, indicating that the declines were driven by external factors not tested in the models. For shorthorned pygmy devil rays, models that incorporated environmental variables did not retain year as a significant predictor and showed a reduced overall decline in sightings of 36.5%. This indicates that the tested predictors were responsible for approximately half of the observed decline. Anthropogenic factors, particularly fisheries mortality, are likely to have played a significant role in the declining sightings of these three Threatened species. Improved conservation and management measures at a national and international level are critical to prevent further declines, which may otherwise lead to localised extinction.\u0000","PeriodicalId":11799,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Biology of Fishes","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142200427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We calculated estimates of growth, mortality, and recruitment from lotic environments in the most northern drainage of their range (i.e., Hudson Bay). Our estimates of growth (K, Brody growth coefficient) are similar to studies as far south as Alabama, USA. Estimates of annual mortality (4–10%) and longevity (62 years) are consistent with latitudinal trends observed in the standing literature. We found evidence of recruitment variability (recruitment variability index = 0.53), with a positive association between growing season degree days and year-class strength. Hydrologic variables of discharge during the cold season and rise rate were found to have negative relationships to recruitment.

Conserving lampreys is particularly challenging given their unique life history and propensity for avoiding conventional sampling methods. However, species distribution modeling is an innovative tool that can use historical presence data and spatial data to refine biodiversity monitoring. Here, we created four species distribution models using landscape-scale variables and species occurrence records to predict suitable and unsuitable habitats for extant, native Illinois lampreys. We developed three single-species models and one combined species model that utilized occurrence records from all five extant lamprey species in Illinois. Patterns of suitable and unsuitable habitats for native lampreys indicated similar preferences in habitat. Specifically, maximum temperature values were less than 25 °C and mean soil erodibility was between 0 and 0.5. Urban land cover was in all four models, but the patterns in habitat suitability were not the same across the lamprey species. These models can help natural resource managers prioritize survey sites and determine the contemporary distribution of this imperiled group of fishes.","PeriodicalId":11799,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Biology of Fishes","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142200422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, our objectives are to (1) examine the relative abundance of Shortnose Gar Lepisosteus platostomus in the lower Illinois River 1993–2022, (2) estimate the current population structure and vital rates, and (3) estimate the population size through mark-recapture. Estimates of relative abundance were mostly stable or slightly increasing. The total length of Shortnose Gar ranged 30–771 mm and pectoral fin ray ages ranged 1–18 years, with most individuals captured in backwater habitats. Few individuals were recaptured suggesting the possibility of a large population size or a highly mobile population. The mean total length varied among gear types, but gear choice may not have a practical impact on size structure given the high overlap in total length ranges. Pectoral fin ray-derived vital rates suggest that Shortnose Gar in the Illinois River grow slower and have the potential to reach larger body sizes than previously described. Preliminary estimates of mortality rates suggest that fishing mortality remained low for this population as of 2018. The age structure and vital rate findings should be interpreted with caution as pectoral fin rays likely underestimate the age of Shortnose Gar but provide valuable baseline data for future comparisons. Future research should utilize otolith age estimates, determine exploitation levels, and assess movement ecology to better inform management strategies that provide for sustainable harvest of Shortnose Gar.","PeriodicalId":11799,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Biology of Fishes","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142200472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One such fish—the Eastern Banded Killifish (Fundulus diaphanus diaphanus Lesueur 1817)—has established and rapidly spread in Lake Michigan and connected waters since 2000. Here, we assess potential drivers of the successful invasion of Eastern Banded Killifish, as well as their potential to disrupt native communities and food webs. Specifically, we compare the trophic niche breadth and diet composition between Eastern Banded Killifish and a native subspecies, Western Banded Killifish (Fundulus diaphanus menona Jordan and Copeland 1877), using stable isotope and gut content metabarcoding analyses. Stable isotope analysis showed that Eastern Banded Killifish had a higher variance in littoral dependence and trophic position than Western Banded Killifish, but both stable isotope and gut content metabarcoding analyses revealed an overlap in the diet composition and trophic position between the subspecies. Eastern Banded Killifish may successfully establish outside its native range due to higher feeding variability than Western Banded Killifish, including in habitats historically unused by the native subspecies, but the trophic niche between these two subspecies was similar overall. This study provides insights into the successful invasion of a potentially overlooked non-game fish—Eastern Banded Killifish—while also comparing stable isotope and gut content metabarcoding analyses for an invasive freshwater fish for the first time.","PeriodicalId":11799,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Biology of Fishes","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142200426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These behaviors have been reported in the scientific literature for the fast-swimming predatory sharks, but also for a slow-swimming planktivorous shark as well as many of the rays. We identify breaching behavior in species in the selachan families, Alopiidae, Carcharhinidae, Cetorhinidae and Lamnidae, and batoidan families, Mobulidae, Aetobatidae, Myliobatidae, Rhinopteridae, and Dasyatidae. We present and discuss evidence in support of the following functions: (1) parasite removal, (2) clearing of gill rakers, (3) expulsion of feces or internal parasites, (4) courtship, (5) attraction of conspecifics, (6) repelled by conspecifics and interpecifics, (7) evasion by conspecifics, (8) feeding, (9) concentrating or stunning of prey, and (10) birthing. Our recording of this behavior has evolved beyond simple observations and now incorporates information gathered through advanced technologies, such as animal-borne data loggers, digital photography, and observations from aerial or underwater drones.

The embryonic development phase is crucial for the preservation and propagation of the Chinese sturgeon, yet the specific influence of water temperature on this process remains inadequately documented. This study conducted experiments using three temperature groups (16, 19, and 22 ℃) to investigate the impact of temperature on the embryonic development of Chinese sturgeon. Subsequently, five statistical models were utilized to fit the developmental data through regression analysis, in order to determine the correlation between incubation time and temperature of the embryos. Data from cultured Chinese sturgeon embryos were finally utilized to validate water temperature development indices. Over the temperature range of 16–22 ℃, water temperature was positively related to the rate of embryonic development in Chinese sturgeon. The time to hatching in the group experiencing the highest temperature (22 ℃) was nearly cut in half in comparison to the group exposed to the lowest temperature (16 ℃). Among the five regression models, the S (sigmoidal) model was the best for predicting the incubation period of Chinese sturgeon embryos from temperature (R2 = 0.939, p < 0.01). Based on the progression from incubation to initial hatching, we estimated daily development indices, ranging from 10.66 to 32.22% between 14 and 25.9 ℃. The water temperature development indices of Chinese sturgeon established in this study have the potential to improve the accuracy of predicting hatch timing and the transfer of fish fry, thereby aiding in the conservation and enhancement of Chinese sturgeon resources.","PeriodicalId":11799,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Biology of Fishes","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142200512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
