Venting or Rapid Recompression Increase Survival and Improve Recovery of Red Snapper with Barotrauma
(Taylor and Francis Open, 2014)Red Snapper Lutjanus campechanus are the most economically important reef fish in the Gulf of Mexico and a heavily targeted fishery. When brought to the surface from deep water, this species often suffers pressure-related ... -
Gulf-Wide Decreases in the Size of Large Coastal Sharks Documented by Generations of Fishermen
(Taylor and Francis Open, 2013)Large sharks are top predators in most coastal and marine ecosystems throughout the world, and evidence of their reduced prominence in marine ecosystems has been a serious concern for fisheries and ecosystem management. ... -
Characterizing Nekton use of the Largest Unfished Oyster Reef in the United States Compared with Adjacent Estuarine Habitats
(National Shellfisheries Association, 2014)Characterizing density patterns of fish and crustaceans across estuarine habitat types can provide useful information regarding their relative value. The oyster reef complex within Sabine Lake Estuary is the largest known ... -
Relative value of oyster reef as habitat for estuarine nekton in Galveston Bay, Texas
(InterResearch, 2010)Biogenic reefs formed by dense aggregations of the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica are a dominant feature in most estuarine systems along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. Oyster reefs are complex in their structural ... -
Relative Value of Deep Subtidal Oyster Reefs to Other Estuarine Habitat Types using a Novel Sampling Method
(National Shellfisheries Association, 2010)Subtidal eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica (Gmelin) cover large expanses of many Gulf of Mexico estuaries; however, few researchers have attempted to quantify the value of deep, open-water, subtidal reefs as habitat for ... -
Population connectivity of red drum in the northern Gulf of Mexico
(InterResearch, 2010)Stable carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotope ratios in otoliths were used to assess the degree of connectivity between early life and adult habitats of red drum Sciaenops ocellatus in the northern Gulf of Mexico. ... -
Environmental influences on the occurrence of coastal sharks in estuarine waters
(InterResearch, 2010)Long-term fisheries independent gill net surveys conducted in Texas estuaries from 1975 to 2006 were used to develop spatially explicit estuarine habitat use models for 3 coastal shark species: bull shark Carcharhinus ... -
Growth of newly settled red drum Sciaenops ocellatus in different estuarine habitat types
(InterResearch, 2002)We examined growth of recently settled juvenile red drum in salt marsh, seagrass, oyster reef, and on nonvegetated bottom areas in the Galveston Bay system of Texas (USA). We estimated growth using otolith microstructure ... -
An empirical test of the ‘shark nursery area concept’ in Texas bays using a long-term fisheries-independent data set
(InterResearch, 2010)Using a long-term fisheries-independent data set, we tested the ‘shark nursery area concept’ proposed by Heupel et al. (2007) with the suggested working assumptions that a shark nursery habitat would: (1) have an abundance ... -
Recruitment of Atlantic croaker, Micropogonias undulatus: Do postsettlement processes disrupt or reinforce initial patterns of settlement?
(NOAA, 1999)Understanding the relative importance of pre- and postsettlement processes is critical to understanding the population dynamics of marine fishes. Our goals in this study were 1) to examine habitat preference and habitat ... -
Folding patterns of immunoglobulin molecules identified by urea gradient electrophoresis.
(ASBMB , 1994)The reversible denaturant-induced unfolding of immunoglobulin molecules has been analyzed by transverse urea gradient gel electrophoresis and the effects that urea-induced unfolding exerts on the functional properties ...
