A Baseline Investigation into the Population Structure of White Seabass, Atractoscion nobilis, in California and Mexican Waters Using Microsatellite DNA Analysis
Franklin, Michael P.; Chabot, Chris L.; Allen, Larry G.The white seabass, Atractoscion nobilis, is a commercially important member of the Sciaenidae that has experienced historic exploitation by fisheries off the coast of southern California. For the present study, we sought ... -
A Habitat Analysis of the Nearshore Marine Fishes from Southern California
Allen, Larry G.This study synthesized the results of 38 ichthyofaunal studies from a wide range of habitats within the Southern California Bight. Quantitative clustering of sites based on species composition yielded nine distinct groups ... -

Age and Growth of Two Herbivorous, Kelp Forest Fishes, the Opaleye (Girella nigricans) and Halfmoon (Medialuna californiensis)
Bredvik, Jessica J.; Boerger, Christiana; Allen, Larry G.Opaleye (Girella nigricans) and halfmoon (Medialuna californiensis) are herbivorous sea chubs (Perciformes: Kyphosidae) that occupy an ecologically important role in kelp forests off southern and Baja California. This study ... -
Behavior of Young-of-the-Year of Giant Sea Bass, Stereolepis gigas, off the sandy beaches of Southern California
Benseman, Stephanie A.; Couffer, Michael C.; Allen, Larry G.We made extensive observations in the shallows off sandy beaches along the southern California coastline from 2013-2018 using SCUBA. The common diurnal behavior of young-of-the-year (YOY) of giant sea bass (Stereolepis ... -
Bomb Radiocarbon Dating and Estimated Longevity of Giant Sea Bass (<em>Stereolepis gigas</em>)
Allen, Larry G.; Andrews, AllenIn January 2010, a massive giant sea bass (500 lbs, 227 kg; near maximum reported size of 557 lbs, 253 kg) was captured off Santa Cruz Island by commercial gill-netters. This specimen presented a unique opportunity to ... -
Color Patterns and Associated Behaviors in the Kelp Bass, Paralabrax clathratus (Teleostei: Serranidae)
Erisman, Brad E.; Allen, Larry G.Seasonal and ephemeral color patterns in the kelp bass, Paralabrax clathratus, were studied on Santa Catalina Island, California from April 2000 to September 2002. Adults were monochromatic for part of the year (calico ... -
Discordant Phylogeographic and Biogeographic Breaks in California Halibut
Craig, Matthew T.; Fodrie, F. Joel; Allen, Larry G.; Chartier, Laura A.; Toonen, Robert J.The range of the California Halibut, Paralichthys californicus, spans three biogeographic provinces along the coastline of Alto (United States) and Baja (Mexico) California. To assess population genetic structure of the ... -
El Niño periods increase growth of juvenile white seabass (Atractoscion nobilis) in the Southern California Bight
Williams, Jonathan P.; Allen, Larry G.; Steele, Mark A. (2007-03-30)Studies of the impact of El Niño periods on marine species have usually focused on negative, highly visible eVects, e.g., decreasing growth rates or increasing mortality due to a decline in primary productivity in typically ... -
Estimates of Age, Growth, and Settlement from Otoliths of Young-of-the-Year Kelp Bass (Paralabrax clathratus)
Cordes, Jan F.; Allen, Larry G.Settled young-of-the-year (YOY) and older juvenile kelp bass {Par- <br /><br />alabrax clathratus) were collected off the coast of southern California during the <br /><br />summers of 1989 and 1990. Daily rings on the ... -
Fishery-Dependent Estimates of Growth, Development, and Reproduction in Gulf Corvina (<em>Cynoscion othonopterus)
Gherard, Katie E.; Erisman, Brad E.; Aburto-Oropeza, Octavio; Rowell, Kirsten; Allen, Larry G.Gulf corvina, Cynoscion othonopterus, is a vital component of commercial fisheries in the northern Gulf of California, but a lack of information on life history parameters have thus far prevented a comprehensive stock ... -
Male Mating Posture and Breeding Coloration of the Temperate Marine Tubesnout Aulorhynchus flavidus
Schram, Michael J.; Allen, Larry G.Body posture, vocalizations or coloration play variable roles in the mating success and social dominance of species. Increasing our knowledge of how these specific features function helps improve our understanding of ... -
Morphologic and Genetic Variation Among Six Populations of the Spotted Sand Bass, Paralabrax maculatofasciatus, from Southern California to the Upper Sea of Cortez
Tranah, Gregory J.; Allen, Larry G.Spotted sand bass, Paralabrax maculatofasciatus, were examined for <br /><br />19 morphometric and 7 meristic characters to determine the extent of morphologic <br /><br />and genetic variation among six Pacific and Gulf ... -
Numbers of Species and Faunal Resemblance of Marine Fishes in California Bays and Estuaries
Horn, Michael H.; Allen, Larry G.Fish species numbers and surface area of 13 California bays and estuaries and the California continental shelf were positively correlated, and the slope (z) of the log-log regression was 0.21. Mouth width of bays was the ... -
Observations on the Mating Behavior of Captive Spotted Sand Bass (Paralabrax maculatofasciatus)
Miller, Eric E.; Allen, Larry G.The sex allocation pattern of various populations of spotted sand bass are thought to vary from functional gonochorism to strict protogyny. The development of hypotheses explaining how such a plastic (flexible) strategy ... -
