Egress of Adult Sport Fish from an Estuarine Reserve within Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Florida

Gulf of Mexico Science (2001)

Philip W. Stevens Kenneth J. Sulak

A tag-recapture study was conducted within Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in the waters surrounding Kennedy Space Center, Florida (where public access has been restricted since 1962), to document egress of adult sport fish from an estuarine reserve. A total of 3,358 sport fish were tagged within the restricted areas. The species tagged were red drum Sciaenops ocellatus (n = 1,366), spotted seatrout Cynoscion nebulosus (n = 927), black drum Pogonias cromis (n = 760), and common snook Centropomis undecimalis (n = 305). Results showed that adult sport fish moved from the restricted areas within Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge to surrounding areas open to fishing. The recapture rates, based on angler responses outside of the restricted areas, were 3.1%, 0.8%, 2.9%, and 16.1% for red drum, spotted seatrout, black drum, and common snook, respectively. In general, red drum, spotted seatrout, and black drum were recaptured in waters adjacent to the restricted areas. Common snook, however, migrated from the restricted areas south to inlets. Tag recaptures for red drum, spotted seatrout, and black drum, together with a previous study that found greater abundance and size of sport fish in the restricted areas than in adjacent areas open to fishing, substantiate the fish replenishment zone function of the restricted areas. The restricted areas within Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge protect fish populations and large adult sport fish egress to surrounding waters open to fishing.

Sturgeon in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Watershed: New Insights to Support Conservation and Management

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science (2015)

A. Peter Klimley Eric D. Chapman Joseph J. Cech Dennis E. Cocherell Nann A. Fangue

The goal of a day-long symposium on March 3, 2015, Sturgeon in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Watershed: New Insights to Support Conservation and Management, was to present new information about the physiology, behavior, and ecology of the green (Acipenser medirostris) and white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) to help guide enhanced management and conservation efforts within the Sacramento–San Joaquin watershed. This symposium identified current unknowns and highlighted new electronic tracking technologies and physiological techniques to address these knowledge gaps. A number of presentations, each reviewing ongoing research on the two species, was followed by a round-table discussion, in which each of the participants was asked to share recom-mendations for future research on sturgeon in the watershed. This article presents an in-depth review of the scientific information presented at the sympo-sium with a summary of recommendations for future research.

Spawning within Floating Vegetation: Novel Underwater Observations of Egg Deposition in Longnose Gar (Lepisosteus osseus)

Southeastern Naturalist (2024)

William H. Hawthorne Kenneth J. Sulak Stephen J. Walsh

Reproductive strategies play a crucial role in the survival and persistence of fish populations. Spawning plasticity allows animals to respond to a variety of environmental conditions and thus maximize their differential reproductive success. Here, we report novel observations of spawning behavior by Lepisosteus osseus (Longnose Gar). On 18–19 February 2023, we observed Longnose Gar spawning in a floating vegetation mat within the run of the first-magnitude Ichetucknee Springs complex in north Florida. This novel behavior highlights a previously unpublished spawning mode in this species. Longnose Gar may spawn in floating vegetation mats to afford protection of offspring from predators, provide suitable substrate and ideal spawning habitat for egg adhesion and development, and confer favorable environmental conditions such as the ability to retain heat.
