Effects of temperature and prey size on predator-prey interactions between bluefish and bay anchovy

JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MARINE BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY, 461, 449–457.

By: J. Morley n & J. Buckel n 

author keywords: Bay anchovy; Bluefish; Capture success; Overwinter; Predation; Temperature
TL;DR: Bluefish modify prey size-selectivity behavior based on temperature, which probably results from a perceived inability to handle and ingest large prey at low temperatures, which suggests that at low winter temperatures bluefish are restricted to smaller prey. (via Semantic Scholar)

Comparing Multiple Predictors of Energy Content in Juvenile Bluefish

TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY, 141(4), 1109–1116.

By: J. Morley n, J. Buckel n  & T. Lankford*

TL;DR: A biphasic pattern of lipid storage was found in muscle tissue, with very little lipid stored until after a threshold in percent dry weight is exceeded. (via Semantic Scholar)

Recruitment Patterns and Habitat Use of Young-of-the-Year Bluefish along the United States East Coast: Insights from Coordinated Coastwide Sampling

REVIEWS IN FISHERIES SCIENCE, 20(2), 80–102.

By: M. Wuenschel *, K. Able *, J. Buckel n , J. Morley n, T. Lankford*, A. Branson*, D. Conover *, D. Drisco* ...

author keywords: bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix; recruitment; cohort; habitat; young-of-the-year
TL;DR: Examination of bluefish, a cosmopolitan coastal spawning species that produces multiple cohorts of juveniles utilizing both estuarine and coastal habitats as nurseries along the U.S. east coast, develops a conceptual model of the seasonal patterns of YOY bluefish habitat use to emphasize the value of coordinated sampling at a large spatial scale in understanding recruitment processes.

Relative contribution of spring- and summer-spawned bluefish cohorts to the adult population: effects of size-selective winter mortality, overwinter growth, and sampling bias

CANADIAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC SCIENCES, 70(2), 233–244.

By: J. Morley n, J. Buckel n  & T. Lankford*

TL;DR: Examination of length distributions of juvenile bluefish from before and after winter found that the mean length of the summer cohort increased during winter, and changes in mean length were due to size-selective mortality for one year class and growth for the other. (via Semantic Scholar)
