Four papers are prepared for examine the hypothesis that the Trypanorhyncha parasitological indeces correspond to the trophic structure of a fish assemblage.
A metodology for this caracterization is proposed and consists on the comparison of frequence of the observed infracommunities.
In Chapter 4, the prevalence, mean intensity of infection and mean abundance of Trypanorhyncha larvae are established for the samples of the populations of ten Sciaenidae species.

The following morphological study of otoliths of the family Sciaenidae (Percoidei, Perciformes) is the first part of a long term catalogue project mainly dealing with recent otoliths.
In the past, otoliths of the Sciaenidae always had attracted attention because of their large size and diverse morphology, but have never been subject of a comprehensive analysis.

A phylogenetic hypothesis for this group will provide important insight into part of the evolutionary history of the family Sciaenidae and provide a basis for future comparative studies of morphological, ecological, and behavioral characters.

 Using Passive Acoustics to Monitor Spawning of Fishes in the Drum Family (Sciaenidae)
Drum fish (Family Sciaenidae) are known for their sound production during mating, from which the family derives its name (Fish and Mowbray 1970).
Members of the drum family are dominant species in the large and valuable commercial and recreational fisheries in North Carolina and the Southeastern USA.
Because sounds are produced by male fishes in the Sciaenidae in communication during courtship and spawning, we are able to use these sounds as an indicator of spawning areas.

Historical trends in nearshore croaker (family Sciaenidae) populations in southern California from 1977 through 1998
Although croakers (Sciaenidae) are important members of the nearshore environment, most of the knowledge about their population trends has come from changes in commercial fishery landings and recreational fishery catches.
Although yellowfin croaker abundance and biomass were higher during the warmer period, most species catches decreased during this period.

If you lower a hydrophone into the water you will hear noises produced by breaking waves, turbulence, boats and ships, as well as noises produced by marine animals.
Animals that produce noises in the inshore waters of North Carolina include marine mammals (like dolphins and whales), snapping shrimp, oyster toadfish (Opsanus tau), members of the family Sciaenidae (drums and croakers), and many other fish species.
Three members of the family Sciaenidae that are important to the North Carolina commercial and recreational fisheries are the spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus), weakfish (Cynoscion regalis), and the red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus).
