Lipid corrections in carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analyses: comparison of chemical extraction and modelling methods
John M. Logan,Timothy D. Jardine,Timothy J. Miller,Stuart E. Bunn,Richard A. Cunjak,Molly Lutcavage +5 more
TL;DR: This work compared chemical extraction and mathematical correction methods for freshwater and marine fishes and aquatic invertebrates to better understand impacts of correction approaches on carbon (delta(13)C) and nitrogen (d delta(15)N) stable isotope data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Results of pop-up satellite tagging of spawning size class fish in the Gulf of Maine: do North Atlantic bluefin tuna spawn in the mid-Atlantic?
TL;DR: For example, twenty giant bluefin tuna were captured in September and October 1997 and tagged and released with pop-up satellite tags programmed to jettison from March through July, 1998 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movements of bluefin tuna ( Thunnus thynnus ) in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean recorded by pop-up satellite archival tags
S. G. Wilson,S. G. Wilson,Molly Lutcavage,Molly Lutcavage,Richard W. Brill,M. P. Genovese,Andrew B. Cooper,A. W. Everly +7 more
TL;DR: Pop-up satellite archival tags were implanted into 68 Atlantic bluefin tuna in the southern Gulf of Maine and off the coast of North Carolina and there was evidence of synchronous vertical behavior and changes in depth distribution in relation to oceanographic features.
Understanding Environmental Influences on Movements and Depth Distributions of Tunas and Billfishes Can Significantly Improve Population Assessments
TL;DR: The vulnerability of the highly mobile tunas (family Scombridae) and billfish (fami- lies Istiophoridae and Xiphiidae) to various fishing gears and detection by aerial surveys is influenced by their depth distributions, travel speeds, residency times, and aggregation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable isotope dynamics in elasmobranch fishes
John M. Logan,Molly Lutcavage +1 more
TL;DR: Nitrogen stable isotope values of skate blood and skate and dogfish white muscle were not affected by tissue urea content, suggesting that available diet–tissue discrimination estimates for teleost fishes with similar physiologies would provide accurate estimates for elasmobranchs.
