“…The change in maximum age, age at maturity, and size at maturity may be a function of latitude. The maximum age and age at maturity has been shown to decrease with decreasing latitude in other species (Leggett and Carscadden, 1978;Brown-Peterson and Thomas, 1988;Snyder and Peterson, 1999). Additionally, silver perch are caught in the northern GOM and on the Atlantic coast of the United States as a bycatch species (trawling, bait, etc.).…”

“…Maximal size in Gulf Coast populations is less than that in Atlantic Coast populations, a likely consequence of earlier maturity in the former (Peterson and VanderKooy 1997;Snyder and Peterson 1999h). Length to dry weight relationships did not differ for males and females in Mississippi populations Snyder and Peterson 1999b), and older males were slightly heavier than same-age females in Florida (Fox 1969).…”

“…Size and age: Typically reach 19 to 34 mm TL at age 1. Large individuals measure 52 to 63 mm TL (maximum 99 mill TL) and at least in northern populations reach age 5+ (Breder and Redmond 1929;Fox 1969;Werner 1972: Snyder andPeterson 1999b). In southern populations, individuals rarely live to age 4+ (Fox 1969: Snyder andPeterson 1999h).…”

Centrarchid Fishes

The family Ccntrarchidae (Order: Perciformes) is one of the most diverse, widespread, and conspicuous fish families native to freshwater habitats of North America. Aniong endemic fish families of North America, only the North American catfish family (lctaluridae) has more species. The family name, Centrarchidae. refers to the anal fin spines of species in the family, and the common name. sunfishes, to the bright breeding colors displayed by males of some species in the family. Because of their diversity, wide distribution, and economic value, some of the earliest taxonomic descriptions and natural history observations on North American freshwater fishes focused on the centrarchids (e.g., Linnaeus 1758; Lacépède 1801; Rafinesque 1820; Abbott 1870).The family contains 34 extant species classified in eight genera, but morphological and genetic evidence suggests that additional, but currently unrecognized, diversity exists within most of the genera. The most diverse genus. Lepomis. the bream (or panfish) of anglers, is comprised of 13 extant species, but at least 8 of these show evidence of polytypy (e.g.. Bermingham and Avise 1986; Fox 1997;Harris 2005). The genus Micropterus, referred to collectively as black basses (Philipp and Ridgway 2002), contains eight extant species. but again, at least three species are polytypic (e.g., Stark and Echelle 1998;Kassler 2002;Miller 2005). The genera Anthloplites (rock basses). Enoeacaothus (banded sunfishes). and Poo,o.vis (crappies) contain four, three, and two extant species, respectively, and at least one species each of Ambloplites and Enneacaothus is polytypic (Koppelman 2000; T. Darden, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, personal communication). The genera Acantha echos, Archoplites. and Centrorchos are monotypic. but populations of both Acantliarchus poniotis and Archoplites lolerruptus show geographical patterns of morphological divergence (Cashner ci (il. 1989;Moyle 2002).The natural range of extant centrarchids is confined primarily to warm, freshwater habitats in North America east of the western continental divide except for the Sacramento perch (A. interrupius). whose native range is west of the divide in the Central Valley of California (San Joaquin-Sacramento. Pajaro. Salinas river drainages. Moyle 2002). The northern natural continental limit of the family is occupied by members of Leponiis. Ainhiopliles, Poinoxis, and Microptertis in the St. Lawrence River. northern Great Lakes. and southwestern Hudson Bay drainages in eastern Canada (Scott and Ciossman 1973). The Rio Conchos (Rio Grande drainage) (Lepomis) and Rio Soto la Marina (Micmpterus. Miller and Smith 1986;Miller 2005) of northern Mexico delimit the southern continental limits of the native range of extant centrarchids. The Mississippi River Basin and, to a lesser extent, the Gulf and Atlantic Slope drainages harbor the most diverse assemblages of native centrarchids (Warren ci (il. 2000). The native ranges of Po,noxis and Lepomis largely coincide with that of Micropierus, but both exte...

“…Fishes show geographical variations in their life‐history traits (Mann & Mills, 1979; Vollestad & L’Abee‐Lund, 1990; Snyder & Peterson, 1999; Vila‐Gispert et al , 2002). There are several examples of this biological plasticity in freshwater species with a wide distribution, because the geographical range is wide enough to include contrasting environmental conditions (Mills, 1988; Reznick & Bryga, 1996; Poizat et al , 2002).…”

The life-history tactics of the stone loach Barbatula barbatula were studied in a Mediterranean-type climate stream (Matarranya River) located in the Ebro River basin (north-east Spain). Maximum observed ages were 2+ years in both sexes (1% of individuals), although only 0+ and 1+ year age groups were well represented. It is the lowest longevity reported for this species in its entire distribution. The seasonal growth period started in June and continued until November, but the pattern observed was different to northern populations. Barbatula barbatula in the Matarranya River was a multiple spawner, releasing small batches of oocytes between April and June. The fecundity of females was higher and the size of oocytes smaller in 1984 than in 1985. The relative fecundity (number of ripening and ripe oocytes g(-1) of fish) was lower than in northern European populations. The role of the particular environmental conditions of a Mediterranean stream was discussed in relation to the life-history tactics of B. barbatula.
