I like the west Florida shelf gag work. We are doing similar work on the Atlantic side, FL to NC. We have determined gag spawning times and places from gonad histology, and have placed satellite-tracked drifters and drift bottles on those sites (FL to NC) at the peak of spawning (2005; also planned for 2006). Eularian measurements of hydrography and circulation along these shelf-edge reefs and across the shelf to estuarine nursery areas would also be useful to further define recruitment patterns to juvenile habitats and to predict recruitment to the fishery. Data would be useful for other shelf-edge spawners that are estuarine or coastal dependent (menhaden, bluefish, red grouper, flounders). --- You are currently subscribed to seacoos-team-fisheries-circulation as: gsgstcf-SEACOOS-Team-Fisheries-Circulation <at> gmane.org.
