Distribution and transport of bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli) eggs and larvae in Chesapeake Bay
Mechanisms and processes that influence small-scale depth distribution and dispersal of bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli) early-life stages are linked to physical and biological conditions and to larval developmental stage. A combination of fixed-station sampling, an axial abundance survey, and environmental monitoring data was used to determine how wind, currents, time of day, physics, developmen...
متن کاملExplaining advection: do larval bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli) show selective tidal-stream transport?
Bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli) have been reported in several systems to display net up-estuary larval movements, against the mean flow. However, the means by which such transport occurs is poorly understood. We address how estuarine circulation and larval behaviors serve to transport larvae of the bay anchovy. In two successive summer seasons, we conducted multiple near-synoptic samples of larv...
متن کاملLife History Strategies of Estuarine Nekton: The Role of Marsh Macrophytes, Benthic Microalgae, and Phytoplankton in the Trophic Spectrum
The stable isotope signatures of marine transient and resident nekton were used to investigate trophic linkages between primary producers, marsh macrophytes, phytoplankton, benthic microalgae, and consumers within the Delaware Bay. A whole estuary approach was used to compare the flux of nutrients from primary producers to juvenile weakfish (Cynoscion regalis), bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli), a...
متن کاملThe effect of different photoperiod on growth and survival in guppy larvae (Poecilia reticulata)
Growth in animals is controlled by genetic, environmental, and nutritional factors, including external factors (temperature, pressure, salinity, and light) in the evolution of cold-blooded animals. In this study, the effects of three different light treatments on the growth and survival rates of guppy larvae (Poecilia reticulata) were investigated. The larvae of this species with an average ini...
متن کاملExamination of an Estuarine Fish Assemblage Over an Inshore Artificial Reef
The perceived value of oyster reefs as fish habitat has led to many restoration projects in areas of historically high oyster populations. This study evaluated fish usage of a limestone cobble mimic oyster reef in Barataria Bay, Louisiana, as compared to a mud-bottom reference site. Emphasis was given to species of economic and ecological importance, including spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulo...
