Micropogon undulatus and Leiostomus xanthurus larvae less than 4.5 mm SL were distinguishable only by pigmentation. The principle distinguishing feature was the presence of pigment on the anterior surface of the visceral mass in L. xanthurus. Fins in both species developed in the sequence: caudal, dorsal and anal, pectoral, pelvic. By 4.5 mm SL, eye diameter was greater in L. xanthurus; by 8.5 mm, preanal length was greater in M. undulatus. Anal fin ray count was a reliable character for…

EGG AND LARVAL DEVELOPMENTOF THE SPOT, LEIOSTOMUSXANTHURUS(SCIAENIDAE)l
TLDR
The egg and larval development of the spot, Leiostomus xanthurus, was described mainly from laboratory-reared specimens andVertebrae and anal fin pterygiophore counts were considered useful in separating spot from other sciaenids.
Developmental osteology of Sciaenops ocellatus and Cynoscion nebulosus (Teleostei: Sciaenidae), economically important sciaenids from the western Atlantic
TLDR
The ontogeny of the entire skeleton in the western Atlantic Sciaenops ocellatus and Cynoscion nebulosus, which are the focus of successful captive rearing programmes within the southern United States, is investigated and available information on skeletal development across members of the Scioenidae is compiled and compared.
THE OCCURRENCE OF SPOT, LEIOSTOMUS XANTHURUS, AND ATLANTIC CROAKER, MICROPOGONIAS UNDULATUS, LARVAE IN ONSLOW BAY AND NEWPORT RIVER ESTUARY,
Past studies indicate that spot, Leiostomus xanthurus, and Atlantic croaker, Micropogonias undulatus, spawn offshore in autumn and probably in winter (Hildebrand and Schroeder 1928; Hildebrand and…
Candidate Species for Florida Aquaculture: Atlantic Croaker, Micropogonias undulatus
TLDR
Atlantic Croaker, Micropogonias undulatus is described, a medium-sized fish of the drum family, its culture methods, and its potential for aquaculture in Florida are described.
Mechanisms of larval spot transport and recruitment to the Chesapeake Bay
TLDR
The birthdates of spot collected offshore in the southern MAB and those at the Bay mouth were very similar, suggesting that recruits to the Bay were from the same pool of larvae collected earlier in the season and providing further support for a spawning location south of Cape Hatteras and not off the Chesapeake Bay as previously reported.

Habitat Suitability Index Models: Juvenile Atlantic Croaker (Revised).
TLDR
AnEstuarine habitat model for juvenile Atlantic croaker is developed to produce an index of habitat suitability between 0 (unsuitable habitat) and 1 (optimally suitable habitat) for estuarine areas of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts.
Catch and Bycatch: The Qualitative Effects of Fisheries on Population Vital Rates of Atlantic Croaker
Abstract Bycatch in shrimp trawl fisheries can make up 60–80% of the catch by weight. Finfish taken incidentally in shrimp trawls include juveniles of species that are valuable in directed fisheries…
Developmental Osteology of Two Species of Economically Important Sciaenids, Sciaenops ocellatus and Cynoscion nebulosus (Teleostei: Sciaenidae)
TLDR
The objective was to provide an easy-to-understand guide to the operation of the machine and to establish a procedure for cataloguing and quantifying the properties of the machines.
