Colour morph of a probable queen angelfish Holacanthus ciliaris from Dry Tortugas, Florida.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An unusual colour morph of a probable Holacanthus ciliaris was observed in Dry Tortugas, Florida, which can possibly be explained by recessive homozygosity, however, further testing is necessary. This variation of H. ciliaris has previously only been described at St Paul's Rocks, Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution of Holacanthus angelfishes (Pomacanthidae).
The angelfish genus Holacanthus includes seven species in the tropical Eastern Pacific and Atlantic. In this study we performed an analysis on all species, the closely related regal angelfish, and the Cortez angelfish, using four mitochondrial and one nuclear marker. Our results support a monophyletic Holacanthus. The Indo-Pacific regal angelfish, Pygoplytes diacanthus, was found to be the clos...
متن کاملUse of neurolipofuscin to determine age structure and growth rates of Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus in Florida, United States
we histologically determined lipofuscin content in eyestalk neural tissue to estimate the age and growth of Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) in Florida, United States. Neurolipofuscin was measured from size-stratified samples of 145 lobsters from the Florida Keys and 119 lobsters from the Dry Tortugas, the two main fishing areas in Florida. Modal analysis of the neurolipofuscin concent...

In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of the Clarion angelfish, Holacanthus clarionensis (Perciformes: Pomacanthidae) has been sequenced by next-generation sequencing method. The length of the assembled mitogenome is 16,615 bp, including 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and two ribosomal RNAs genes. The overall base composition of Clarion angelfish is 28.3% for A, 29.3% for ...
متن کاملUsing age to evaluate reproduction in Caribbean spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, in the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas, United States
For many species of lobsters, size at sexual maturity varies across spatially separated populations. This is so for two populations of Caribbean spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, in southern Florida, where females from open-fishing areas around the dry Tortugas mature at a larger size than females from open-fishing areas in the Florida Keys. Variations in onset of maturity between populations of ...
متن کاملFinal Report: Analyzing Genetic Connectivity of Caribbean and Florida Mutton
Riley’s Hump, in the recently created South Tortugas Ecological Reserve, is the historical site of a spawning aggregation of mutton snapper (Lutjanus analis), perhaps the only site in the southeastern United States. The aggregation was exploited heavily by commercial fishermen for decades prior to the area being declared an ecological reserve in 2001. Fishery managers hope that the population o...
