Description

Atlantic tarpon and the snook species complex (primarily FAT snook and common snook) are highly revered sportfish in texas marine waters and species of greatest conservation need (sgcn) in the texas conservation action plan (tcap). In the mid-1900S, these species experienced population crashes in texas. Numerous reasons for these declines have been suggested, but they arecommonly attributed to several factors, including overfishing and reduced recruitment. Assessing juvenile recruitment to thesepopulations is difficult as knowledge of nursery habitat ecology is limited. The purpose of this project is to provide new informationon the ecology of juvenile tarpon and snook occurring in nursery habitats along the mid-texas coast using standardized bimonthlyfield sampling, acoustic telemetry, and conventional tagging. This ecological characterization will provide novel information on thesespecies seasonal residency, habitat use, and apparent survival, and the physical, biological, and environmental characteristics ofthese habitats. These data will ultimately aid resource managers seeking to identify and improve conservation measures for theseimportant species in texas.
