A length-weight relationship and coefficients of condition are presented. Use of circuli spacing on scales to discriminate hatchery and wild barramundi, Lates calcarifer (Bloch) Aquaculture Research, 1991. closely spaced circuli distally, is usually an. About 25% of the three-year-old males were mature and approximately 25% of the four-year-old females had reached maturity. in the interradial space nearest the middle of the anterior field. broken circuli, crossovers or a detectable difference in circuli spacing.

Usually the river carpsuckers were mature when 12 inches long. On the resumption of growth, a full circulus (the annulus) is formed which. Feeding and temperature level were the primary environrrntal factors affecting formation of scale characteristics because of the pronounced effects of these factors on hdy growth. Female river carpsuckers grew slightly faster than the males through the first four years of life. growth rate and season on circuli spacing and lxxly length-scale radius and lxxly length-circuli number relationships were determined.

The greatest increment of growth occurred during the second year. over of circuli, Annuli were counted at the margin of the lateral. The differences in average calculated growth rates of the two groups were slight. Mean total length at time of annulus formation of smallmouth buffalo taken from Rough. Age and growth data from collections in the cutoff lakes and chutes were combined, while age and growth determinations were made separately for fish from the main stream.

Collections were made both here and in the river channel. Understanding the timing of formation of an annulus (a group of narrowly spaced circuli) is critical when assessing the influence of marine ecosystem conditions on seasonal growth patterns of Atlantic salmon, yet the literature does not provide consistent answers regarding the timing or drivers of marine annulus formation. Five marine circulus deposition rate scenarios were tested, some of which accounted for individual, seasonal and age-related variability and.

These alterations resulted in numerous cutoff lakes and chutes many of which were left open to the river at their downstream ends. An equation was applied to estimate the date of annulus completion for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) using known dates, number of circuli after the most recent annulus and marine circulus deposition rate. During and preceding the study period the course of the river was being altered to promote commercial barge traffic. The river carpsucker, Carpiodes carpio, was collected in the Missouri River bordering eastern Nebraska in 19.
