23691 Data Set Published / External 74891 Life History Estimates Project In Work This data set contains information used to help determine median size at 50% maturity for the bottomfish species, Pristipomoides filamentosus in the Main Hawaiian Islands. Many specimens were collected from October 2007-December 2014; all specimens are included in the Bottomfish Sampling Data Data Set. Gonads were fixed and preserved in 10% Formalin for at least 3 months and histological slides were created using a cross-section of each gonad. Sex and maturation stage was determined for each specimen/slide. To gather data to make an accurate estimate of median size at 50% maturity for Pristipomoides filamentosus.

Spreadsheet Yes P. filamentosus Size at Maturity Study. 1 HistoBoxNum Number 4 0 Yes No 4 Active The Histo Box Number the slide is stored in. Number 4 2 FishDataNum Varchar2 100 Yes Yes Active The Fish Data Number of the histological slide, this number is the unique identifier and can be linked to the Bottomfish Sampling Data Data set to obtain additional information such as location caught etc. Character 3 DateCaught DATE 8 No No Active The date the fish was caught. The date the fish was caught is unknown. 4 FLcm Number 7 No No Active The fork length of the fish in centimeters. 5 HistoSex VARCHAR2 1 Yes No Active The sex of the fish determined by analysis of the histological slide. Character 1 Upper F, M, U 6 SexMat varchar2 3 Yes No Active The sexual maturity of the fish determined after analysis of the histological slide; fish is either mature (MAT), or immature (IMM). Upper MAT, IMM 7 NadStage Number 5 Yes No Active The maturation stage for each fish. It is a numerical scale ranging from 1 to 6.5 for Pristipomoides filamentosus. 8 AtreticStage Number 5 No No Active The atretic stage of each histological slide. This stage is for females ONLY. Describes what stage of oocytes are undergoing atresia using a numerical scale. Number There is no atresia occurring or the fish is a Male. 9 AtreticScore Number 2 No No Active The atretic score. Atretic score is the amount of atresia occurring, can be 0, 1, or 2. Number The fish is a male. 0,1,2 10 HistoComments VARCHAR2 500 No No Active Any comments associated with the histological classification of the fish. i.e. explaining maturation stage, atretic stage, and atretic score.

Continuing 2013-09-16 Collection of gonad tissue started in October 2007, but histological work didn't begin until the end of 2013. For the initial round of histological slides created, sex and maturation stage for P. filamentosus have been determined. A manuscript of the results is in the works.
