Additions to the ichthyofauna of the Bahama Islands, with comments on endemic species

Literature records or other documentation are given for 57 species of shorefishes added to the Bahaman ichthyofauna since publication of Fishes of the Bahamas; included are 32 new species described or discovered since 1967. Known distribution is specified for each species, including extralimital ranges of non-endemics. Fourteen species are listed as known only from the Bahamas although some likely

Distribution patterns of individually identifiable West Indian manatees (Trichechus manatus) in Florida

Photographs of distinctively scarred manatees (Trichechus manatus) were taken at aggregation sites throughout Florida and assembled into a catalog for identifying individuals. Resightings of known manatees in different years or at different locations enabled us to document site fidelity and long-distance movements. Of the 891 individuals included in the catalog as of August 1986, 470 (53%) were re

The influence of ambient salinity on routine metabolism in the teleost Cyprinodon variegatus Lacepède

Routine metabolism of the euryhaline cyprinodontid Cyprinodon variegatus Lacepede was measured at a series of ambient salinities ranging from fresh water through 100‰. Fish used had been sequentially acclimated to the test salinities (ambient temperature of 20±1° C and a 12: 12 L: D schedule). Routine metabolic rates were highest at ambient salinities from 15 to 50‰. Metabolism was somewhat lower
