Sound production is a widespread phenomenon in fishes; however, the importance of acoustic signals and their potential to influence reproduction has not been determined. This dissertation examines fish acoustic courtship signals to investigate whether sound has a role in reproductive success. The pre-spawning sounds of several fishes were recorded and analyzed. The male advertisement call of two species of Belizean toadfish, Sanopus astrifer and Batrachoides gilberti, were found to significantly...

Animal hosts provide associated microorganisms with suitable ecological niches in their intestines. Microbes help their hosts to digest food, protect against pathogens, and influence the host’s metabolisms. Compositional variation of gut microbial communities is common among hosts, and may affect the health status of hosts. Diet and genetic factors are well known to influence the assembly of gut microbial communities. This thesis focuses on disentangling the contributions of factors including ho...

Fish farming is a million dollar business world wide, and fish is in fact the third mostimportant export product after oil/gas and metal in Norway. There are a lot of different aquaculture sites which produce fish along our long coast line and they all have somedifferences in the production rates and procedures. The fish farmer at these sites holdvaluable information about the production, which is almost impossible to derive onlyfrom empirical data.In this thesis we introduce Glaucus, a Case-Bas...

Fish and fish waste can be used to produce various value added by products such as proteins, oil, omega-3 fatty acids, biodiesel, amino acids, peptides, collagen, gelatin and silage, each of which has various applications in the food industry, renewable energy and medicinal purposes. Fish protein contains amino acids and many bioactive peptides . Fish proteins are found in the flesh, head, frames, fin, tail, skin and guts in varying quantities. After removing the flesh, all other parts are consi...

Pangasius fish, mainly Pangasius hypophthalmus (tra/swai) and Pangasius bocourti (basa), which belong to the Pangasiidae family of catfish, are imported farm-raised freshwater fish from Asian. Nowadays, the U.S. is one of the largest importers of Pangasius fish worldwide. As mounting quantities of Pangasius fish being imported every year, the names of "tra/swai" and "basa", however, seldom appear on restaurant menus. Since processed fish products in restaurants are not subjected to the requireme...

Fischgemeinschaften in Seen sind zunehmenden Umweltveränderungen unterworfen. Die Analyse des Einflusses abiotischer und biotischer Faktoren auf die Größenstruktur von Fischgemeinschaften ist entscheidend, um die Entwicklung von Seeökosystemen im Zuge von Umweltveränderungen vorhersagen zu können. Es ist jedoch schwierig Fische in Seen zu beproben, da Fanggeräte selektiv sind. Die Qualität und Vergleichbarkeit von Fischfängen durch Angler, Kiemennetze, Schleppnetze und Hydroakustik wurden unter...

Tissue samples from spotted gar (Lepisosteus oculatus) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) were collected from Caddo Lake. Gar and bass livers were subjected to histological investigation and color analysis. Liver color (as abs at 400 nm) was significantly correlated with total mercury in the liver (r2 = 0.57, p = 0.02) and muscle (r2 = 0.58, p = 0.01) of gar. Evidence of liver damage as lipofuscin and discoloration was found in both species but only correlated with liver mercury conc...

This thesis is a preliminary attempt to consolidate materials pertaining to Lau fish taxonomy (North Malaita, Solomon Islands). Data utilized come from two sources: those collected by Maranda and Maranda (1966-1968) and those collected by the author during a two-month field period (October-December 1975). Two approaches to the analysis of terminological systems are explored first. A general description of the Lau Taxonomic Universe follows in which the major components are indicated. The focus...

Fish exposed to gas supersaturated water often experience a form of stress known as Gas Bubble Trauma (GBT). GBT is an acute condition involving various forms of bubble growth both internal and external to the animal. Theoretical models are developed which establish thresholds for bubble growth. These models apply to: 1. ) Bubble growth in the vascular systems of fish. 2. ) Bubble growth in the environmental water that can occur in the buccal cavity and between gill lamella. 4.) Overinflation...

The role of the fish pineal organ has been studied using the goldfish Carassius auratus and the Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha. To this end, the effects of pinealectomy in goldfish on various behavioural responses, endocrine systems, and the reproductive system were studied. The pineal organs and the retinal tissue from mature and immature salmon were examined by thin-layer chromatography and fluorometry to determine if melatonin, a mammalian hormone, is present in the fishes. Goldfish ...

This project was designed to study the patterns of variability in fish populations. My hypothesis is that specific population patterns should be related to evolutionary concepts (phylogenetic patterns} , zoogeographic considerations (faunal patterns), and their vertical distributions. These patterns should be detected by comparing certain population parameters [growth parameters (K, LINF), the natural mortality coefficient (M) size at first maturity (LM), age at first maturity (TM), size at age ...

Fish and aquaculture research in India has been mapped using data from six databases. About 460 papers, roughly 5.5% of the world output, come from India every year, of which 82% are journal articles. Close to 70% of journal articles have appeared in 113 Indian journals. Less than a third of the journal articles are published in journals indexed in SCI. About 61% of publications are contributed by government laboratories and over 25% by academic institutions. Government laboratories publish most...

Conventional wisdom in ecotoxicology predicts reductions in organismal fitness to follow from exposure-related physiological effects. This expectation may be appropriate for controlled laboratory environments, but may not necessarily reflect what is likely to take place in the wild. In an extensive review of the ecotoxicology literature, it was revealed that fish condition factor (an index of energetic fitness) is just as likely to respond favourably to pollutant exposure as it is to respond neg...

This original novel with a critical introduction is a summary and capstone of my study of creative writing at Texas A&M University. The introduction uses storytelling traditions in genre science fiction as well as non-genre writing as it explores the novel’s narrative structure, the world building process, and character development. The novel demonstrates the postmodern and genre techniques while masquerading as a traditional short novel, encouraging the reader to discover possible conspiracies ...

The active synthetic constituent of oral contraceptives 17α- ethinylestradiol (EE2) and its natural steroidal estrogen analogues are being released into the aquatic environment mainly via wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Although steroidal estrogens have been frequently reported in very low concentrations in the environment, they have been placed at the top of the list of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) for their high estrogenic activity in non-target aquatic species like fish and frog...

The energetic aspects of osmoregulation in several species of fish were examined, using an experimental approach on both a whole-animal and tissue level. The first series of experiments examined the metabolic response of temperate and tropical fish species to acute and gradual salinity change, using whole-animal oxygen consumption rates and gill Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase activity as indicators of osmoregulatory energetics. Juvenile dolphin fish (Coryphaena hippurus) were exposed for 24 h to a reduced w...

The cellular mechanisms responsible for branchial proton excretion and sodium absorption in freshwater rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), were investigated by monitoring the proton excretion rate and determining the proton ATPase activity in gill tissue under different inhibitor treatments and environmental conditions. Evidence for the existence of anelectrogenic proton pump in fish gills was accumulated. Branchial proton excretion rate was estimated by measuring the total CO2, total ...
