TLDR
Summer movements of the fish Fundulus heteroclitus in a fluctuating tidal creek in Delaware were determined; most individuals maintained spatial position in an environment with no distinct break such as the riffle—pool structure of freshwater streams.Abstract:
Summer movements of the fish Fundulus heteroclitus in a fluctuating tidal creek in Delaware were determined. The majority of individuals in the population exhibited a home range of 36 m near a bank. Individuals transferred directly across the stream returned to the bank where originally captured. The home range persisted from July through September. Individuals were absent from the lower part of the creek from November through March, but were present in the headwater areas. There was a continuum of individuals along each bank; most individuals maintained spatial position in an environment with no distinct break such as the riffle—pool structure of freshwater streams.

Variation in gene expression within and among natural populations
TL;DR: Microarray studies addressing the variation in gene expression within and between natural populations of teleost fish of the genus Fundulus suggest that substantial natural variation exists in gene Expression and that this quantitative variation is important in evolution.

Evidence for spatial variability in estuarine food webs
Linda A. Deegan,Garritt Rh +1 more
TL;DR: The importance of phytoplankton, benthic microalgae, fresh and salt marsh emergent plants, and terrestrial organic matter to the estuarine food web of Plum Island Sound, Massachusetts, USA, was evaluated using the stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Measuring consumer isotopes across salinity gradients should be a relatively simple way to monitor effects of watershed nutrient loading and hydrologic flushing in supporting estuarine fisheries production.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a more complete genomics toolbox for F. heteroclitus and related species will permit researchers to exploit the power of this model organism to rapidly advance the understanding of fundamental biological and pathological mechanisms among vertebrates, as well as ecological strategies and evolutionary processes common to all living organisms.

TL;DR: It is suggested that heavily weathered crude oil from the spill imparts significant biological impacts in sensitive Louisiana marshes, some of which remain for over 2 mo following initial exposures.

Fishes of the Gulf of Maine
TL;DR: The first part of the general report, dealing with the fishes was published in 1925, as Bulletin of the United States Bureau of FisherIes, and subsequent parts describing the plankton of the offshore waters of the Gulf and the physical Characteristics of its waters were published in 1926-27, as Part 2. as discussed by the authors.

Social Behavior and Interspecific Competition in Two Trout Species
TL;DR: Thesalmo.fontinalis (Mitchill), and the rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri Richardson, are fishes which have been extensively stocked in suitable waters throughout the world but which occur naturally in cool fresh waters on opposite coasts of North America.

Fatty-acid ecology of a tidal marsh1
TL;DR: In this paper, a salt marsh has differing biochemical patterns: the grasses have a terrestrial pattern rich in 16-18 C fatty acids, the animals a marine pattern dominated by long-chain polyunsaturates.

A Technique and the Effectiveness of Various Acrylic Colors for Subcutaneous Marking of Fish
TL;DR: In this paper, a suitable technique for marking large numbers of small fish is subcutaneous injection of acrylic polymer emulsions, and nine of 15 colors used in mark-recapture studies were discernible for 4 mo or longer.
