Assessment of “weak hook” effects on fish catches and sizes in a pelagic longline fishery Open
Objective We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of “weak hooks” in reducing the bycatch of Bluefin Tuna Thunnus thynnus in the U.S. Gulf of America (also known as Gulf of Mexico) pelagic longline fishery while maintaining catch rates and…

A Salinity–Temperature Sensor Based on Microwave Resonance Reflection Open
We developed and tested a microwave in situ salinity sensor (MiSSo) to simultaneously measure salinity and temperature within the same water sample over broad ranges of salinity (S) (3–50 psu) and temperature (T) (3–30 °C). Modern aquatic …

Influence of seascape spatial pattern on the trophic niche of an omnivorous fish Open
Habitat fragmentation of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) transforms the spatial pattern of seascapes by changing both the total area and spatial configuration of the habitat patches. The ecological effects of SAV seascapes are most ofte…

Evaluating the rainwater killifish (<span><i>Lucania parva</i></span>) as an indicator of Everglades restoration Open
Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) objectives include the return of more natural salinity regimes to the bays and estuaries of southern Florida (U.S.A.). We examined for spatiotemporal patterns in rainwater killifish ( Lucani…

Use of the term harvest when referring to wild stock exploitation Open
We contend that harvest is a misleading term when referring to wild organisms removed from natural systems and suggest that fishery professionals reserve the word for aquaculture products.When referring to wild stock extraction, replacing …

At-vessel and postrelease mortality rates of bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) associated with pelagic longline gear in the northern Gulf of Mexico Open
Bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) of the western Atlantic Ocean are often incidentally caught in the pelagic longline fishery that targets swordfish (Xiphias gladius) and yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in the Gulf of Mexico. Data on at-ve…

Pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus duorarum spatiotemporal abundance trends along an urban, subtropical shoreline slated for restoration Open
The Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetlands (BBCW) project of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) aims to reduce point-source freshwater discharges and spread freshwater flow along the mainland shoreline of southern Biscayne Bay. Th…

Catch rate and at‐vessel mortality of circle hooks versus J‐hooks in pelagic longline fisheries: A global meta‐analysis Open
We conducted a meta‐analysis of literature reporting on the use of circle hooks and J‐hooks in pelagic longline fisheries. Our study included more data than previous meta‐analyses of the effects of hook type, due to both a larger number of…

Non‐linear thresholds characterize the relationship between reef fishes and mangrove habitat Open
A significant obstacle to evaluating the importance of mangrove habitat to coral reef fishes has been the difficulty of disentangling its effects from other subtidal/nearshore habitats or human population pressures. Florida's seascape, unl…

Quantifying the Trophic Importance of Gulf Menhaden within the Northern Gulf of Mexico Ecosystem Open
The Gulf Menhaden Brevoortia patronus is frequently cited as playing a predominant role in the trophic structure and function of the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) marine ecosystem, yet much work remains in quantifying its ecological import…

Mangroves Enhance Reef Fish Abundance at the Caribbean Regional Scale Open
Several studies conducted at the scale of islands, or small sections of continental coastlines, have suggested that mangrove habitats serve to enhance fish abundances on coral reefs, mainly by providing nursery grounds for several ontogene…
