“…Larger and older marbled sole females produced larger eggs. Similar relationships between maternal attributes and egg size, larval size, or larval quality have been reported for many fishes (e.g., Buckley et al, 1991a, b;Chambers and Leggett, 1992;Chambers and Waiwood, 1996;Kjesbu et al, 1996;Solemdal, 1997;Marteinsdottir and Steinarsson, 1998;Keckeis et al, 2000;Riveiro et al, 2000;Johnston and Leggett, 2002;Fox et al, 2003;Berkeley et al, 2004;Trippel and Neil, 2004;Green and McCormick, 2005). Although we found that larger larvae had higher feeding ability, direct correlations between feeding rate and maternal attributes were not significant.…”

Maternal effects of animals are the phenotypic influences of age, size, and condition of spawners on the survival and phenotypic traits of offspring. To clarify the maternal effects for marbled sole Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae, we investigated the effects of body size, nutrient condition, and growth history of adult females on egg size, larval size, and starvation tolerance, growth, and feeding ability of offspring. The fecundity of adult females was strongly dependent on body size. Path analysis revealed that the mother's total length positively affected mean egg diameter, meaning that large females spawned large eggs. In contrast, the relative growth rate of adult females negatively affected egg diameter. Egg diameters positively affected both notochord length and yolk sac volume of the larvae at hatching. Under starvation conditions, notochord length at hatching strongly and positively affected days of survival at 14°C but not at 9°C. Under adequate food conditions (1000 rotifers L -1 ), the notochord length of larvae 5 days after hatching positively affected feeding rate, implying that large larvae have high feeding ability. In addition, the mean growth rate of larvae between 0 and 15 days increased with increasing egg diameter under homogenous food conditions, suggesting that larvae 1 hatched from large eggs might have a growth advantage for at least to 15 days after hatching. In marbled sole, these relationships (i.e., mother's body size-egg size-larval size-larval resistance to starvation-larval feeding ability) may help explain recruitment variability.

“…However, the maternal influence on the size and viability of marbled sole eggs and larvae is still unknown. Maternal effects are important because they are the only recruitment mechanism that can be directly managed via fishing regulations (Solemdal, 1997;Trippel et al, 1997).…”

“…Moreover, red snapper off Alabama are juvenescent and maturing at earlier ages than normal (Jackson et al 2007), and red snapper collected more recently by Nieland et al (2007) off Louisiana appear to be reaching smaller size-at-age. Juvenescence in fish population occurs when Z on adults is high, and fishers selectively remove larger, faster growing, late maturing individuals more rapidly because these fish are the first to become vulnerable to fishing (Trippel 1995;Trippel et al 1997;Murawski et al 2001). As such, per capita food resources increase for individuals that remain; some of these individuals respond by maturing at earlier ages.…”

The most controversial fishery in U.S. waters of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) is for northern red snapper Lutjanus campechanus, which collapsed in the late 1980s when stock biomass became too low to be fished commercially in the eastern Gulf. 123Rev Fish Biol Fisheries (2011) 21:187-204 DOI 10.1007 of red snapper in the Gulf, which in turn has strained the relationship between science, management, and stakeholders there. We provide a simple empirical argument and alternate interpretations of a recently published perspective on the historical fishery of red snapper in the Gulf to conclude that the preponderance of evidence used in the agency stock assessment process, and the simple arguments made here, do not support the perspective that the red snapper stock has increased in size sufficiently to defer compliance with the MSRA.

“…Whether this had a potential effect on development or viability could not be assessed, but results from further experiments under different salinity regimes during incubation suggested the effect to be non-significant (C. Petereit et al, unpublished data). Since eggs from only one female were used for each trial, the different survival rates might have reflected differences in egg quality due to maternal effects (Brooks et al 1997;Chambers 1997;Trippel et al 1997Trippel et al , 2005. Thompson et al (1981) performed experiments on sprat egg development from the English Channel using 19 different temperatures from 4.5 to 20°C and found successful development over all temperatures, although from 17.4 to 20°C hatching occurred prematurely before many eggs reached stage IV.…”

The influence of temperature on the development of Baltic Sea sprat (Sprattus sprattus) eggs and yolk sac larvae

In spring 2004 and 2005 we performed two sets of experiments with Baltic sprat (Sprattus sprattus balticus Schneider) eggs and larvae from the Bornholm Basin simulating ten different temperature scenarios. The goal of the present study was to analyse and parameterise temperature effects on the duration of developmental stages, on the timing of important ontogenetic transitions, growth during the yolk sac phase as well as on the survival success of eggs and early larval stages. Egg development and hatching showed exponential temperature dependence. No hatching was observed above 14.7°C and hatching success was significantly reduced below 3.4°C. Time to eye pigmentation, as a proxy for mouth gape opening, decreased with increasing temperatures from 17 days post hatch at 3.4°C to 7 days at 13°C whereas the larval yolk sac phase was shortened from 20 to 10 days at 3.8 and 10°C respectively. Maximum survival duration of non-fed larvae was 25 days at 6.8°C. Comparing the experimental results of Baltic sprat with existing information on sprat from the English Channel and North Sea differences were detected in egg development rate, thermal adaptation and in yolk sac depletion rate (YSDR). Sprat eggs from the English Channel showed significantly faster development and the potential to develop at temperatures higher than 14.7°C.North Sea sprat larvae were found to have a lower YSDR compared to larvae from the Baltic Sea. In light of the predictions for global warming, Baltic sprat stocks could experience improved conditions for egg development and survival.
