“…Mussels deposit distinctive external rings in their shells as they age, similar to annual growth rings in trees. Though external ring counts can be biased by environmental and other disturbances, and do not provide age estimates as accurate as other methods, rings can be counted to give an estimation of age (Ford et al 2020, Haag and Commens-Carson 2008, Haag and Rypel 2011).…”

“…This species is a short‐term brooder, spawning and releasing glochidia from early spring to mid‐summer of the same year. Based on congeners ( Pleurobema cordatum (Ohio pigtoe) and Pleurobema rubrum (pyramid pigtoe)) and field observations, it probably reaches sexual maturity between the ages 4 and 12 years, has low to moderate fecundity (20,000–50,000) and is long‐lived, potentially up to 40 years (Haag & Staton, 2003; Watters, Hoggarth & Stansberry, 2009; Inoue et al, 2018; Ford, Plants‐Paris & Ford, 2020).…”

1. Mussel-flow relationships are not well defined and studies linking behavioural, physiological and life-history traits to hydrological conditions remain scant. This lack of information hinders not only understanding of how flow shapes population and community processes but the development of evidence-based flow recommendations to mitigate mussel declines. 2. Mussel-flow relationships were evaluated for Potamilus amphichaenus (Texas heelsplitter), Pleurobema riddellii (Louisiana pigtoe) and Truncilla macrodon (Texas fawnsfoot) from the Sabine, Trinity, Neches and Cypress River basins of East Texas using Indicators of Hydraulic Alteration and random forest models.These species were chosen because all three are currently being evaluated for listing under the US Endangered Species Act.3. Analyses were performed on US Geological Survey stream gauge stations and mussel records within 20 km of each other. Only gauges with at least 15 years of continuous data and ≥70% overlap of flow records from 1968 to 2018 were included. For selected 28 gauges, Indicators of Hydraulic Alteration were used to calculate 47 hydrological parameters that describe the magnitude, frequency and duration of high and low flow events. Random forest classification models across species were significant and had low error rates (3.57-21.43%), moderate to high sensitivity (0.81-0.93) and moderate to high specificity (0.71-1.00).4. Life-history theory was useful for explaining how mussel species cope with hydrological variation. Potamilus amphichaenus and T. macrodon/Truncilla donaciformis, considered r-selected or opportunistic strategists, were more likely to occur in basins characterized by significant changes in flow and land use compared with P. riddellii, considered a K-selected or equilibrium strategist.5. The analytical framework presented in this study should be helpful to managers and conservationists interested in determining how the flow regime is shaping aquatic communities in their region and developing reference points that could serve for ecological research, conservation and management.

“…Von Bertalanffy mathematical model has been applied widely to plot growth for numerous biota (Lee et al, 2020), such as in fishes (Ogle and Isermann, 2017;Du Pontavice et al, 2018;Harris et al, 2018;Vahabnezhad et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2021), mollusks (López-Rocha et al, 2018;Ford et al, 2020;Prato et al, 2020) , sea turtle (Ramirez et al, 2021), and poultry (Mata-Estrada et al, 2020;Del Norte-Campos et al, 2021). It even started to be attempted in several study areas (Fernandes et al, 2020), including Covid-19 outbreak (Brahma et al, 2021).…”

Highlight ResearchThe fishing area of S. leptolepis in this study was confirmed to be located in Tomini BayThe fish samples were gathered randomly from fishers’ catch using purse seinesThe growth curve for the male and female fish data were both plotted following the trend of the Von Bertalanffy equationThis study estimates the growth parameters, mortality, and exploitation rates of the male and female fish separately.AbstractComprehensive data is required for implementing sustainable fisheries management. Population dynamic and stock assessment aspects of Selaroides leptolepis species in Tomini Bay have not been entirely reported. This study aimed to determine the fishing mortality rate and exploitation status of S. leptolepis in Tomini Bay by calculating Von Bertalanffy growth model parameters (L∞, K, t0) then plotting them into Pauly's empirical equation. The sampling was conducted monthly from April to September 2020 at Gorontalo City Fishing Port. Samples were collected randomly from five commercial fishing vessels shortly after the fishermen landed their catch at the fishing port. All fish samples were confirmed to be obtained by the fishermen from Tomini waters. The growth parameters of the samples were analyzed using FiSAT II based on Von Bertalanffy mathematical model. While the mortality and exploitation values were calculated manually using Pauly's equation. The study showed that the growth parameter values of S. leptolepis in Tomini Bay were 245.47 mm, 0.49/year, and -3.04/year for males, while 227.80 mm, 0.63/year, and -2.72/year for females separately for L∞, K, and t0. The total, natural, and fishing mortality rates were 3.06/year, 0.61/year, and 2.45/year for males and 0.99/year, 0.74/year, and 0.25/year for females. The analysis results showed that the female's natural mortality (M) was higher than the male. In contrast, the fishing mortality (F) and total mortality (Z) of male fish exceed the female. The exploitation value of males (E=0.80) was greater than that of females (E=0.26).
