Seasonal changes in the reproductive condition and body composition of free-ranging red drum, Scianops ocellatus.
Abstract Ž . Ž . Adult red drum Sciaenops ocellatus from a wild, autumn fall spawning population were studied over a 1-year period to evaluate seasonal changes in body composition in comparison with cultured red drum. Each month, female and male fish were captured and blood sampled. Standard Ž . len...
