Bias associated with statolith-based methodologies for ageing squid; a comparative study on illex illecebrosus
Estimates of ages for short-finned squid (Illex illecebrosus LeSueur) were derived from two different methods for preparing statoliths and enumerating daily increments. Each pair of statoliths was divided between two experienced agers. One (Ager B) ground the statoliths on one side in the frontal plane for examination by light microscopy with camera lucida. The other (Ager G) ground statoliths ...
متن کاملReconstruction of original body size and estimation of allometric relationships for the longfin inshore squid (Loligo pealeii) and northern shortfin squid (Illex illecebrosus)
Quantification of predator-prey body size relationships is essential to understanding trophic dynamics in marine ecosystems. Prey lengths recovered from predator stomachs help determine the sizes of prey most influential in supporting predator growth and to ascertain size-specific effects of natural mortality on prey populations (Bax, 1998; Claessen et al., 2002). Estimating prey size from stom...
متن کاملThe Feeding Habits of Mesosauridae
Mesosauridae comprises the oldest known aquatic amniotes which lived in Gondwana during the Early Permian. Previous work in the Uruguayan mesosaur-bearing Mangrullo Formation suggested that mesosaurids lived in an inland water body, inferred as moderately hypersaline, with exceptional preservational conditions that justified describing these strata as a Fossil-Lagerstätte. Exquisitely preserved...
متن کاملFeeding habits of yellowfin seabream, Acanthopagrus latus in the northern region of the Persian Gulf
Feeding habits of yellowfin seabream, Acanthopagrus latus was investigated in coastal waters of the Northern Persian Gulf. This investigation was conducted by monthly sampling of thirty fish from September 2011 through August 2012. Fish size ranged from 17.98 ± 2.07 to 32.31 ± 6.52 cm in total length and from 134.01 ± 45.62 to 720.46 ± 292.58 g in weight. The highest value of gastro-somatic ind...
متن کاملFeeding habits and stomach contents of Silver Sillago,
The study investigated the stomach content of Sillago sihama in Hormuzgan Province waters located in the northern Persian Gulf from October 2009 to March 2010. The stomach analysis was carried out using frequency of occurrence and numeric methods. Diatoms, blue- green algae and dinoflagellates constituted main food of plant origin. Diatoms were found to be the most preferable food of...
