Still, artisanal sponge fisheries remain in Florida and areas of the Caribbean like The Bahamas, but none of those fisheries or the sponges upon which they depend are well studied. On the basis of data and information published by J. Storr in 1964 as well as of our own data, von Bertalanffy growth parameters were estimated for the most commercially valuable Caribbean sponge, the sheepswool sponge or wool sponge (Hippospongia lachne), along with related statistics, notably longevity. Also, morphological dimensional constraints that are likely to limit the supply of oxygen deep within this and other nearspherical sponge species are presented, along with the sponges’ evolutionary and ontogenic responses to these constraints. These considerations are also illustrated with data from species other than the wool sponge and are consistent with a general theory of growth for waterbreathing ectotherms, the gilloxygen limitation theory. The information provided herein should be useful for quantifying the ecosystem effect of sponge fisheries in Florida, The Bahamas, and elsewhere and for improving the management of sponge fisheries and mariculture worldwide.","PeriodicalId":50442,"journal":{"name":"Fishery Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45213389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2017, we deployed an autonomous plankton pump into deepwater coral habitat (depths: >50 m) to examine which species were present and captured a single rockfish larva. Using genetic methods, we identified the larva as a northern rockfish ( Sebastes polyspinis ). The unique capture of a free-swimming larva with a plankton pump in this study is the first in situ record of the use of deepwater coral habitat by rockfish larvae. Subsequent reex- amination of coral specimens captured in bottom- trawl surveys that had been conducted in the Gulf of Alaska yielded an additional 10 northern rockfish larvae and a single harlequin rockfish ( S. variegatus ) larva lodged in the pol- yps of 2 species of deepwater coral. The results of this study improve our knowledge of the early life history of rockfish species, a taxonomic group that has limited lifetime dispersal indicated by a high degree of population structure. The capture and identification of the larva also indicate a potential mechanism for larval retention in the area of their extrusion and highlight the further importance of deepwater coral habitat as essential habitat for rockfish species.","PeriodicalId":50442,"journal":{"name":"Fishery Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42811968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
