Checklist of fishes of Area M-3

Monthly fish collections were made with seines, nets, trawls, etc. at various stations throughout East Bay, West Bay, and lower Galveston Bay (Area M-3), Texas. Associated data on hydrography and other environmental parameters were also recorded. These data serve to document the occurrence, relative abundance, and life history of fish species in the study area, as well as their relationship to hydrography

Ecological studies related to pollution

Hydrological parameters were recorded from stations in the Texas City Ship Channel and the Offatts Bayou region of the Galveston Bay System. Miscellaneous ecological data on the fish populations and other marine life in the area were also collected. These baseline data were used for ecological comparisons with other unpolluted areas

Dolphin interactions with the mullet artisanal fishing on Southern Brazil: a qualitative and quantitative approach

A detailed analysis of the interactions between Tursiops truncatus (Montagu, 1821) and the artisanal fishing of mullets (Mugil spp.) is presented at two localities in the south of Brazil: Laguna (Santa Catarina) and Inibé/Tramandaí (Rio Grande do Sul). Its behavioral strategies and the advantages of their association are re-described and quantified based on the success of the capture and on the selectivity of the prey sizes. The mullets are the main resource involved (92% to 75%) both at numerical level and as biomass. Twenty individuals of Tursiops truncatus participated in the interactions in Laguna and 9 in Imbé/Tramandaí. The participation and learning of calves is also reported
