Movements and site fidelity of the bonefish Albula vulpes in the northern Florida Keys determined by acoustic telemetry

Thermal biology of bonefish (Albula vulpes) in Bahamian coastal waters and tidal creeks: An integrated laboratory and field study

Little is known about the thermal tolerances of fish that occupy tropical intertidal habitats or how their distribution, physiological condition, and survival are influenced by water temperature. We used a combination of laboratory and field approaches to study the thermal biology of bonefish, Albula vulpes, a fish species that relies on nearshore intertidal habitats throughout the Caribbean. T...

A mail survey to estimate the fishery dynamics of southern Florida’s bonefish charter fleet

Bonefish, Albula vulpes (L.), support an economically important recreational fishery in southern Florida, USA that has received little scientific study and has never been adequately assessed. A mail survey of 322 captains that comprise the southern Florida bonefish charter fleet was conducted to acquire a baseline understanding of the primary fishery statistics. The response rate was 59% and a ...

Effects of recreational angling on the post-release behavior and predation of bonefish (Albula vulpes): The role of equilibrium status at the time of release

Even though the recreational fishery for bonefish (Albula spp) is predominantly catch-and-release, the effects of angling on individual behavior and survival are poorly understood. We used visual tracking to measure the short-term post-release behavior and survival of bonefish (Albula vulpes) in Eleuthera, The Bahamas, to determine if any specific aspects of the angling event were linked to pos...

First Record of Bonefish, Albula vulpes, from Mississippi Coastal Waters

Physiological disturbance and recovery dynamics of bonefish (Albula vulpes), a tropical marine fish, in response to variable exercise and exposure to air.

Current understanding of the stress response in fishes has largely come from studies of freshwater-adapted salmonids, with proportionately few comparative studies having examined marine fishes. The current study sought to quantify the magnitude of physiological disturbances, recovery dynamics, and post-exercise behaviour in bonefish (Albula vulpes; a tropical marine fish) exposed to several dif...
