A Standardized Terminology for Describing Reproductive Development in Fishes

Nancy J. Brown‐Peterson, David M. Wyanski, Fran Saborido‐Rey et al. · 1 Jan 2011

Abstract As the number of fish reproduction studies has proliferated, so has the number of gonadal classification schemes and terms. This has made it difficult for both scientists and resource managers to communicate and for comparisons to be made among studies. We propose the adoption of a simple, universal terminology for the phases in the…

Reproductive Timing in Marine Fishes: Variability, Temporal Scales, and Methods

Susan Lowerre‐Barbieri, Konstantinos Ganias, Fran Saborido‐Rey et al. · 1 Jan 2011

Abstract Reproductive timing can be defined as the temporal pattern of reproduction over a lifetime. Although reproductive timing is highly variable in marine fishes, certain traits are universal, including sexual maturity, undergoing one or more reproductive cycles, participating in one or more spawning events within a reproductive cycle, release of eggs or offspring, aging, and…

Skipped Spawning in Fishes: More Common than You Might Think

Rick M. Rideout, Jonna Tomkiewicz · 1 Jan 2011

Abstract The traditional view of iteroparity in fishes is one of an annual reproductive cycle that culminates each year in spawning. More recently, a more flexible view of fish reproduction has been adopted, including the potential for mature fish to skip spawning. Here, we review the abundance of recent research on skipped spawning, covering a…

End-To-End Models for the Analysis of Marine Ecosystems: Challenges, Issues, and Next Steps

Kenneth A. Rose, J. Icarus Allen, Yuri Artioli et al. · 1 Jan 2010

Abstract There is growing interest in models of marine ecosystems that deal with the effects of climate change through the higher trophic levels. Such end-to-end models combine physicochemical oceanographic descriptors and organisms ranging from microbes to higher-trophic-level (HTL) organisms, including humans, in a single modeling framework. The demand for such approaches arises from the need…

Emerging Issues and Methodological Advances in Fisheries Reproductive Biology

Susan Lowerre‐Barbieri, Nancy J. Brown‐Peterson, Hilário Murua et al. · 1 Jan 2011

Abstract Although incorporating detailed reproductive data into all stock assessments is not a practical goal, the need to understand how reproductive biology affects population productivity is being increasingly recognized. More research focused on reproductive biology—coupled with a shift towards a resilience perspective in fisheries science—is resulting in challenges to many long-held assumptions; the emergence of…
