Term
Iteraparous
(hint: majority of fishes)
Definition
spawn multiple times during life
Term
Semalparous
(hint: salmon, eels, lampreys)
Definition
reproduce once in life
Term
3 major types births
Definition
Oviparous, Viviparous, Ovoviviparous
Term
Oviparous fishes...
Definition
lay eggs, no help from the mother.
(hint: ?)
Term
Viviparous
Definition
have alot of help from theres parents.
(hint: Very over protective parents)
Term
Ovoviviparous
Definition
produce eggs but retain them inside the female body until hatching occurs
(Hint: like frogs)
Term
K selection
Definition
(think sharks or whales)
*Slow growth
*Low fecundity
*Long gestation
Term
R selection
Definition
(think fishes or frogs)
*Fast growth
*high fecundity
*Short gestation
Term
teleosts
Definition
movable upper jaws
Term
Chondrichthyes Oviparity
Definition
Eggs deposited to hatch later from case
-Extended (rapid release, > 15 month in case)
-<2mnths to >1 yr

(Examples. Hornshark, Port Jackson, zebrashark, catshark, swellshark, rays, skates)
Term
Chondrichthyes Placental Viviparity
Definition
Eggs hatch inside mother and babies are fed by placenta
-Gestation < 6 mnths- 2 yrs
-Several young ( 4-100 )

(Examples: Bull, whitetip reef, lemon, blue, hammerhead, whale)
Term
Chondricthyes aplacental viviparity (ovoviviparous)
Definition
-Eggs hatch inside mother
-Embryos protected during development
- No placenta to nourish pups

(Examples: Great white, sawsharks, cookiecutter, pelagic thresher, Greenland, pygmy, nurse, tiger, sandtiger,some batoids)
Term
_____________ is a long villous extensions of the uterine epithelium secrete hydrotrpohe (ingested or absorbed by embryo)
Definition
Trophonemata
Term
When the young eat eggs which continue to come down the track (bigeye thresher, shortfin mako, porbeagle)
Definition
Oophagy
Term
gonochoristic means...
Definition
(male or female; sex fixed at early age)
Term
Protogyny :
Definition
females change into males (more common)
(Hint: FtM)
Term
Protandry :
Definition
males change into females
(Hint: looks like Andy and Adury male and female names)
Term
one sex has multiple partners
Definition
Polygamy
Term
1 female several males (rare)
Definition
Polyandry
Term
1 male several females
Definition
Polygyny:
Term
pair for life
Definition
Monogamy:
Term
Diadromous
Definition
fishes travel between salt and fresh water
Term
Amphidromous
Definition
that travels between fresh and salt water, but not to breed
Term
Potomodromous (rivers)
Definition
Migrate within freshwater
Term
Limnodromous (laves)
Definition
Migrate within freshwater
Term
Indeterminate growth:
Definition
continual increase in size & volume
Term
Larval stage
Definition
Morphology is drastically different in juveniles and adults
Term
If your larger you...
Definition
- Larger females produce large and more eggs
- Larger individuals are socially favored and can defend territory
- Larger fish can swim faster & father
- Greater choice of food item as a large individual
- Smaller range of predators
Term
Periods of Fish’s Life
Definition
Embryonic → Larval → Juvenile → Adult → Senescent
Term
What are the dependents for spawning?
Definition
Temp and photo period
Term
Primary cue is _________, _________ is secondary
Definition
1) Temp 2) photo period
Term
< 20 °C required for gonad development
> 22 – 24 °C inhibits spawning
Definition
Term
ED=?
Definition
Embryonic Development
Term
Cleavage phase:
Definition
interval between 1st cell division and appearance of recognizable predecessors of organ systems (esp. neural plate).
Term
Embryonic phase:
Definition
the point where fish becomes recognizable as a vertebrate and when the egg hatches.
Term
Free embryo phase:
Definition
embryo uncurls, relies on yolk, and remains in same environment as 2 previous stages.
Term
Other factors affecting ED?
Definition
*Light
*Dissolved Oxygen
*CO2
* Nitrogen
*Salinity
Term
Larval period begins...
Definition
Hatching; first ability to capture food
Term
Larval period ends...
Definition
Ends: Fish forms axial skeleton and loses embryonic median fin-fold .
Term
-Period of highest dispersal
-Period of highest mortality (starvation)
-Morphology often drastically different from adult (see Fig. 9.10)
-Most larvae initially carnivorous
Definition
Larval period
Term
Juvenile period begins...
Definition
organ systems and fin are fully developed.
Term
Juvenile period ends...
Definition
Gonads are mature.
Term
Adult Period Begins...
Definition
when gonads mature
Term
Adult Period Ends...
Definition
at death
Term
Senescent Period (within adult period) is...
Definition
Growth has nearly stopped & Gonads degenerate and are not producing gametes
Term
Formula for Growth
I = M + G + E
Definition
I: Ingested energy
M: Metabolism
(energy required to break I down, maintenance and repair, movement)
G: Growth
E: Excreted
Term
Controlled envir
Definition
(hatchery, lab)
- Allows manipulation of many variables (Temp, DO, food, etc.)
- Can measure at anytime
- May not reflect natural condition accurately
Term
Mark & recaption
Definition
- Clipped fins, cold brands, pigmented skin, fluorescent bones or scales from tetracycline immersion, tags.
- Allows estimates of growth rates of fishes in natural envir
- Recapture rate is typically only ~ 1% (limits use of costly technology)
Term
Back calculating using ring on hard parts
Definition
Invasive: otolith, opercula bones, verterbrae
Noninvasive: scales, spines
Term
When the young eat their siblings
Definition
