Q

Fish eggs and larvae are considered part of the plankton, meaning

A

they cannot swim against currents

although some larval fishes have been shown to swim vertically in the water to take advantage of dif currents

Q

Why is it important to know the early life history of fishes?

A

To have proper management of fisheries. Even of non commercial fishes because they belong in the same ecosystem with commercial fishes

Q

How is the sampling of fish eggs and larvae helpfully?

A

Provides info about fish species, populations and communities.
Can determine yearly fish population.
Can be used to determine geographic distribution of spawning adults

Q

What are vertical egg tows?

A

A net that is used to collect eggs, it’s lowered to 70 m and retrieved at a constant rate

Q

What is a neston tow

A

method to collect larvae by sampling just the upper 10 cm of water.

Afterwards, they’re washed by formalin to preserve the eggs.

Q

How is avoidance of sampling gear possible by larvae?

A

Larvae may avoid collection by their size and speed to travel away from the negs, and the size and speed of the net being used to collect them

Q

What is the chorion texture?

A

embryonic tissue layer

20
Q

What are five catergories used to identify fish larvae?

A
  1. morphology: length and shape of gut
  2. Meristics (things you can count on fin spines and rays, myomeres
  3. Specialized larval charac: elaborated spines on the head, stalked eyes, trailing guts, enlarged fin folds
  4. osteology: timing of bone and cartilage development
  5. Genetics: DNA of unknown larvae matched to DNA of known adults
21
Q

Define meristics

A

things you may count

22
Q

what is myomeres?

A

muscle bands that run along the length of the fish

23
Q

What are two main approaches to identifying unknown eggs and larvae?

A
  1. serial method

2. aquaculture methods

24
Q

What is the serial method?

A

This method uses adult charac to identify juveniles and progressively link them to smaller specimens through a continuous sequence of shared/ similar traist

25
Q

What is the aquaculture method?

A

Raise colected specimens of unknown eggs/larvae till they can be identified, or to spawn adults of a species for which the eggs/larvae are unknown and raise the offspring.

26
Q

Another third method to identify fishes is through DNA testing, but why may it be bad?

A

Can be expensive, difficult to do and ruin the fish.

27
Q

How may ontogeny be used to determine phylogenetic relationships?

A

the characteristics used to identify larvae can potentially be used to construct phylogenetic trees

An example is the leptocephalus larvae of the anguilliformes orders

28
Q

How is avoidance of sampling gear possible by larvae?

A

Larvae may avoid collection by their size and speed to travel away from the negs, and the size and speed of the net being used to collect them

44
Q

The family Myctophidae is divided in two tribes, How may they be distinguished?

A

By shape of eye. One has round eyes, other has narrow elliptical eyes.

45
Q

What is the layman term for myctophidae?

A

lanternfishes

46
Q

The superfamily of argentinoidea is composed of four families, but do not look similar. What are the ontogenetic characteristics that define this group then?

A
  1. The chorion has distinctive pustules on the inner surface
  2. dorsal and anal fins form in the fin fold away from the body, connected to the trunk by what are called hyaline strands

Although a good way to recognize common descents of argentinoidea, it is also an ex of convergent evolution
