Age- and sex-dependent migrations of striped bass in the Hudson River as determined by chemical microanalysis of otoliths

David H. Secor, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1996 - 
TL;DR: The result suggests that group cohesion (schooling) could persist for substantial periods of an individual’s life span, and the most cohesive group was fall-collected males, which may reside permanently in fresh water and estuarine waters.

Age and Growth Estimates for the Sand Tiger in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean

Steven Branstetter, +1 more
- 01 Mar 1994 - 
TL;DR: Lengths at age and growth rates for 55 sand tigers Odontaspis taurus from the northwest Atlantic Ocean were estimated from banding patterns in vertebral centra and compared with growth data on 15 specimens raised in public aquaria.

Estimation of fishing and natural mortality when a tagging study is combined with a creel survey or port sampling

Kenneth H. Pollock, +2 more
TL;DR: This paper shows how to use a creel surveyor port sample to estimate reporting rate as an alternative to use of reward tags and discusses the important implications of this approach which allows separate estimation of fishing and natural mortality rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Captive biology of the pelagic stingray, Dasyatis violacea (Bonaparte, 1832)

Henry F. Mollet, +2 more
- 22 Apr 2002 - 
TL;DR: Pelagic stingrays, Dasyatis violacea, were collected in southern California in summer-autumn 1994-97 and could be fitted with a linear regression in the estimated mean age range of 3-6 years, but the former produced more reasonable values for size at birth, maximum size, and longevity.

Goliath catfish spawning in the far western Amazon confirmed by the distribution of mature adults, drifting larvae and migrating juveniles

Ronaldo Borges Barthem, +9 more
- 06 Feb 2017 - 
TL;DR: These results provide an empirical baseline for tagging experiments, life histories extrapolated from otolith microchemistry interpretations and other methods to establish goliath catfish migratory routes, their seasonal timing and possible return (homing) to western headwater tributaries where they were born.
