Gene Nomenclature for Protein-Coding Loci in Fish

James B. Shaklee, Fred W. Allendorf, Donald C. Morizot et al. · 1 Jan 1990

The Fish Genetics Section of the American Fisheries Society established its Nomenclature Committee to develop and promote standardized genetic nomenclatures. Here, following public comments on previously published draft guidelines, we present the committeeˈs revised version of a nomenclature for protein-coding loci in fish. This nomenclature closely parallels the one used for human genetics, but improves…

The Forgotten Requirement for Age Validation in Fisheries Biology

Richard J. Beamish, Gordon A. McFarlane · 1 Nov 1983

A survey of 500 studies published between 1907 and 1980 that included estimates of fish age indicated that only 65% mentioned age validation or attempted to validate the ageing technique. In less than 3% was the technique validated for all age classes. Among the 35% that did not consider age validation, many did not consider…

Predator-Prey Interaction between Largemouth Bass and Bluegills as Influenced by Simulated, Submersed Vegetation

Jacqueline F. Savino, Roy A. Stein · 1 May 1982

Data from the literature suggest that predatory success declines as habitat complexity increases. To explain this phenomenon, we studied the predator-prey interaction between largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and bluegills Lepomis macrochirus in four laboratory pools (2.4–3.0 m diameter, 0.7 m deep), each with a different density (0, 50, 250, 1,000 stems/m2) of artificial plant stems.…

Primary and Secondary Effects of Stress in Fish: Some New Data with a General Review

Madeleine M. Mazeaud, F Mazeaud, Edward M. Donaldson · 1 May 1977

Handling in fish induces perturbations of various biological parameters which have been investigated or reviewed in an attempt to analyse and quantify the resulting stress. Endocrine changes, being early consequences of stress, are referred to as primary effects. Original data obtained on coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch), sockeye (O. nerka), and chinook (O. tshawytscha) salmon show that…
