Distribution and migration of seaside sparrows

The majority of the nine presently recognized races of the Seaside Sparrow (Ammospiza maritima) are so similar to neighboring races that individual birds outside their known breeding range cannot be subspecifically identified with certainty. The northern race, A. m. maritima, is partially migratory, with most individuals departing in autumn from Chesapeake Bay and from all the coastal marshes tha

Physiological effects of handling and hauling stress on smallmouth bass

Mortalities associated with the handling and transporting (hauling) of fishes have long been a problem. Tolerance to these stressors varies greatly among species (Davis and Parker 1979; Tomasso et al. 1980; Wydoski and Wedenmeyer 1976). In most fishes, however, handling and hauling losses are caused by two major factors - activation of latent infections as a result of increased endocrine activity

Distribution and ecology of marine turtles in waters off the southeastern United States

Aerial surveys of marine waters up to 222 km from shore in the Gulf of Mexico and nearby Atlantic Ocean suggest that marine turtles are largely distributed in waters less than 100 m in depth. The loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) was observed nearly 50 times as often in waters off eastern and western Florida as in the western Gulf of Mexico. Loggerheads were present year round but the frequency
