Management strategy evaluation (MSE) has become a more common tool for engaging stakeholders in fisheries management, and stakeholder participation MSE is increasingly recognized as vital component of the process. The stakeholders, specifically fishers, particular importance because they often possess intimate knowledge socio-ecological management system that seeks to model. When resources cond...

Marine fish movement plays a critical role in ecosystem functioning and is increasingly studied with acoustic telemetry. Traditionally, this research has focused on single species small spatial scales. However, integrated tracking networks, such as the Integrated Tracking of Aquatic Animals Gulf Mexico (iTAG) network, are building capacity to monitor multiple over larger We conducted synthesis ...

—The effect of feeding three commercial diets on production characteristics and body composition of juvenile cobia Rachycentron canadum reared using recirculating aquaculture systems (RASs) was assessed in a 56-d growth trial. Juvenile cobia (mean weight 6 SE, 29.2 6 0.7 g) were stocked into three 8-m tanks in each of four RASs at an initial density of 1.2 kg/m. After stocking, fish were fed on...

NHE and NKA are important regulators of ion transport in fish play a pivotal role maintaining osmotic balance adapting to salinity changes. However, no systematic identification functional analysis has been conducted for NHEs NKAs the cobia ( Rachycentron canadum ), commercially worldwide flatfish. Herein,12 genes were found be distributed on 10 chromosomes 12 9 identified R. at genome-wide lev...
