Spatial ecology of adult spotted seatrout, Cynoscion nebulosus, in Louisiana coastal waters
Spotted seatrout, Cynoscion nebulosus, are common in estuaries and coastal waters of the south Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico and are of considerable recreational and economic importance. Still, the spatial ecology of this species is under-studied and poorly resolved, especially in Louisiana waters. …

Biometric Assessment of Spotted Seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus) from Recreational and Commercial Fisheries in Mississippi, USA
<p>Quantitative stock assessments for Mississippi’s Spotted Seatrout use length-, age-, and sex-composition data from fishery-independent sources as proxies to estimate biostatistical characteristics of fisheries harvests due to lack of sector-specific data. In Chapter 2, I examined the age, …

Development of a Genetic Monitoring Program for Stock Enhancement of Mississippi Spotted Seatrout (<i>Cynoscion nebulosus</i>)
<p>The spotted seatrout is a coastal sciaenid fish that is intensively exploited in the northcentral Gulf of Mexico. A stock enhancement research program was initiated in 2004 to develop methods to culture juveniles and release them in natural habitats to increase recruitment in the fishery. The …

Evaluating Alternate Management Strategies for Spotted Seatrout (<i>Cynoscion nebulosus</i>) in the North-Central Gulf of Mexico
<p>Spotted Seatrout (<em>Cynoscion nebulosus</em>) receive considerable fishing pressure as the most popular saltwater target species in the north-central Gulf of Mexico. The potential for alternate management strategies, including stock enhancement and reducing discard mortality, to support the …

The Effects of Salinity on Zootechnical Performance of Spotted Seatrout (<i>Cynoscion nebulosus</i>) in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems
<p>The spotted seatrout (<em>Cynoscion nebulosus</em>) is a euryhaline finfish candidate for marine aquaculture in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Aquaculture of this species currently uses salinities of 25 psu or greater making production challenging in areas where high salinity water is not …

Evaluating Methods for Optimizing Classification Success From Otolith Tracers for Spotted Seatrout (<i>Cynoscion nebulosus</i>) in the Chesapeake Bay
… seagrass habitats for spotted seatrout (<em>Cynoscion nebulosus</em>) in Chesapeake Bay. Additionally, Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Bayes information criterion (BIC) were used to select the discriminant function analysis (DFA) model that minimized the prediction error for …

Relating Water and Otolith Chemistry in Chesapeake Bay, and Their Potential to Identify Essential Seagrass Habitats for Juveniles of an Estuarine-Dependent Fish, Spotted Seatrout (<i>Cynoscion nebulosus</i>)
… and otoliths of juvenile spotted seatrout, <em>Cynoscion nebulosus</em>, in five seagrass habitats of Chesapeake Bay, namely: Potomac, Rappahannock, York, Island, and Eastern Shore. I measured Mg, Ca, Mn, Sr, Ba, and La in water and otoliths by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, and …

Fishery and Population Dynamics of Mississippi’s Spotted Seatrout
<p>Spotted Seatrout (<em>Cynoscion nebulosus</em>) is the most popular recreational inshore fishery in Mississippi coastal waters. Because of the popularity of Spotted Seatrout in Mississippi as a recreational target and the magnitude of harvest, quantitative approaches to describe the population …

Seasonal Differences in Diet of Two Predatory Fishes in Relation to Reef Type in the Inshore Northern Gulf of Mexico
… changes seasonally within Spotted Seatrout, <em>Cynoscion nebulosus</em>, and Sand Seatrout, <em>Cynoscion arenarius</em>, to view which trophic levels are interacting in relation to different reef type (high relief profile vs. low profile relief). A Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA was performed on …

Exploring Fisheries Species Distribution Shifts in Response to Freshwater Inflow Through the Bonnet Carré Spillway Using Species Distribution Models
… might affect <em>Brevoortia patronus</em>, <em>Cynoscion nebulosus</em>, and <em>Farfantepenaeus aztecus</em> in the space of the MSS and surrounding waters. Models are validated via 10-fold cross validation and assessed via area under curve analysis and a binomial test of training omission. The …

Effects of Pre-Release Physical Stressors on Post-Release Success of Hatchery-Reared Spotted Seatrout
… resources such as the Spotted Seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus), the Gulf of Mexico’s most popular recreational fish. Stock enhancement, or the release of cultured fish to supplement wild populations, is one potential tool for managing important fisheries resources. Although much effort has …

The Effects of Stocking Density and Feeding Frequency on Aggressive and Cannibalistic Behaviors in Larval Hatchery-Reared Spotted Seatrout, <i>Cynosion nebulosus</i>
<p>The Spotted Seatrout (<em>Cynoscion nebulosus</em>) is a euryhaline fish that inhabits coastal regions from Massachusetts to Texas. Due to its predaceous nature and proximity to coastal shorelines it is the most important marine finfish in the Gulf of Mexico. Because of this importance, Spotted …
