Growth and Yield-Per-Recruit Modeling of Spot (<i>Leiostomus xanthurus</i>) in the Chesapeake Bay, and a Comparison of Biological Reference Points
<p>Spot were sampled from the Chesapeake Bay commercial fishery from 1993–1995 to determine if spot are overfished. Transversely sectioned otoliths were determined to be the most appropriate structure for ageing spot. It was determined that spot have a high natural mortality rate (M = 0.9) and fast …

Investigations of the Trophic Relationships, Feeding Ecology and Feeding Behavior of Larval Spot, <i>Leiostomus Xanthurus</i> Lacepede, and Atlantic Croaker, <i>Micropogonias Undulatus</i> (Linnaeus) (Pisces:Sciaenidae)
… of preflexion and flexion-postflexion spot (Leiostomus xanthurus) and Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus) larvae was evaluated and compared. Nutritional condition of spot larvae from the Gulf of Mexico was high, with no larvae classified as starving. This was probably due to an …

Evaluation of Fish Scale Chemistry for Determining Habitat Associations
… in which fish had lived. Juvenile spot (<em>Leiostomus xanthurus</em>) were held in four concentrations of Sr, Cd, and Ba maintained at either 20°C or 25°C, for 42 days. Strontium:Ca, Cd:Ca, and Ba:Ca levels in scales were linearly related to environmental concentrations while temperature had …

Experimental Investigation of Elemental Incorporation in the Otoliths of Larval and Juvenile Fish: Implications for Use as Environmental Recorders
… late larval to early juvenile stage spot (<em>Leiostomus xanthurus</em>) and gray snapper (<em>Lutjanus griseus</em>) to quantify the association between fish otoliths and water elemental composition, test the effects of water temperature and salinity on otolith element incorporation, and …
