Implications for connectivity

Are reef fish populations open or closed?

Local Retention Panmixia

Larval condition affects:

• Larval survival

• Juvenile survival

• Population connectivity

So . . .

. . . Do larvae with different

dispersal histories have

different condition?

Measuring Condition

• ID and measure individual larvae, remove heads and guts and homogenize

• Use fluorometry to determine RNA/DNA

Conclusions

Lower condition in offshore larvae

Lower larval condition in Loop Current and off of Key Largo, higher larval condition off of the

middle and lower Keys

Higher condition in 2008 than 2007

Larval dispersal trajectory may affect condition and thus, patterns of population replenishment

Next Steps

o Analyze additional taxa• Data for five other taxa, and many more samples from

all three cruiseso Look at R/D ratio in relation to other environmental

variables • Prey field• Multivariate environmental analysis• Gut contents

o Compare R/D to other indices of condition• Growth rates (otoliths)• Lipid components analysis (TAG:Sterol)o Look at condition in relation to modeled larval origins
