A Preliminary Study of Predation on Blue Crabs by Three Fish Predators in a Seagrass Bed
A Preliminary Study of Predation on Blue Crabs by Three Fish Predators in a Seagrass Bed.
Orth Jacques van Montfrans James Fishman Virginia Institute of Marine Science May 19, 1999 Funded in part by the Virginia Saltwater Recreational Fishing License Fund and The Commonwealth of Virginia PREFACE: This report serves as a preliminary assessment of potential feeding impacts on blue crab prey inhabiting a seagrass bed in the York River by three species of recreationally and commercially important fish (striped bass, croaker, and red drum).
We also provide an historic perspective indicating possible changes in relative abundance of these predatory fish between the period 1978-1980 and 1998.
Natural mortality via predation (which is difficult to control) apparently impacts crabs less than 75 mm (3 inches) in carapace width (Moody, 1994; Smith, 1995), whereas those individuals larger than 75 mm likely experience heaviest mortality from commercial and recreational fisheries (which can be controlled through effective management policy).
In fact, these attributes of seagrass habitats appear to have such universal intrinsic value that The National Marine Fisheries Service has recently emphasized seagrass beds as "Essential Fish Habitat"(Magnuson-Stevens Act, 1996).

BBC NEWS | England | Manchester | Fish egg \'miracle\' needs cracking
Biologists at the University of Manchester want help in cracking their 'miracle' discovery of three fish inside a sealed egg.
When they cracked open the shell, three live minnows were inside.
Dr Matthew Cobb, a lecturer in animal behaviour at the university, said: 'As 21st century scientists rather than 17th century antiquarians we think it's unlikely this represents a hitherto unknown mode of fish reproduction.
Minnows are small freshwater fish, often used as bait by anglers.

Shoalhaven to receive three fish cleaning tables from Fishing Trust | NSW Department of Primary Industries
Shoalhaven City Council will receive $12, 000 to build three fish cleaning tables at Sanctuary Point, Lake Conjola and Greenwell Point after successfully applying for a Recreational Fishing Trusts grant from the State Government, Primary Industries Minister Ian Macdonald said today..
Minister Macdonald said the three fish cleaning tables would be located near popular recreational fishing spots..
“Shoalhaven City Council applied for funding from the Trust following public requests for fish cleaning facilities.
“Council identified a need to provide a high standard facility for recreational anglers to gather together and clean fish at the end of a day’s outing..
“The Council felt the facilities would attract more anglers to the area with flow on effects to the local economy, as well as providing a valuable social meeting place for anglers to exchange fishing information..
NSW DPI Senior Manager Recreational Fisheries Bryan van der Walt said anyone could apply to the Recreational Fishing Trusts for funding including fishing clubs and organisations, councils, community groups, individuals and so forth..
“All money raised by the NSW Recreational Fishing Fee is placed into the Recreational Fishing Trusts and spent on improving recreational fishing in NSW..

IngentaConnect Diet and condition of three fish species (Characidae) of the Ande...
I studied effects of deforestation on diet and condition of three characid species; Astyanax zonatus , Knodus gamma , and Prionobrama filigera in small streams in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
zonatus by decreasing mean size of individuals, but this was not associated with lower fish condition.
zonatus increased feeding on aquatic food items (filamentous algae and fish scales) in the deforested sites (43%) compared to the forested sites (16%).
Food availability and utilisation seemed to be of main importance for the condition of these fish.
