9322778 Warner This two-year award supports U.S.-Belgium-Italy cooperative research in fish ecology and fisheries. Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara (Robert A. Warner), University of Liege (Pierre Lejeune), and University of Padova (Andrea Marconato) will conduct a comparative study of fertilization rates of benthically spawning nearshore fish. Using a series of benthically spawning wrasses available only in the Mediterranean, the investigators will study the fertilization rates and sperm release. They will then conduct field experiments to demonstrate the relationship between spawning rate, sperm allocation, and the demands of male defense. The project takes advantage of facilities at the European marine station for underwater and oceanographic research in Corsica, France. It brings together U.S.-Belgium and Italian expertise and experience on an important economic topic. Fisheries worldwide depend on accurate estimates of fish fecundity and production. This study advances understanding of the fertilization process and factors related to increased production. This information eventually will be applied by fisheries in order to increase production. ***

9322778华纳这项为期两年的奖项支持鱼类生态和渔业方面的美国 - 贝尔吉姆 - 意见合作研究。加利福尼亚大学，圣塔芭芭拉分校（罗伯特·A·华纳），列日大学（Pierre Lejeune）和Padova大学（Andrea Marconato）的研究人员将对近岸近岸鱼的受精率进行比较研究。 使用仅在地中海可用的一系列骨髓产卵的扭曲，研究人员将研究受精率和精子释放。 然后，他们将进行现场实验，以证明产卵率，精子分配和男性防御需求之间的关系。 该项目在法国科西嘉岛的欧洲海洋站利用了欧洲海洋站的设施。 它汇集了美国 - 贝尔吉姆和意大利的专业知识以及关于重要经济主题的经验。 全球渔业取决于鱼类繁殖力和生产的准确估计。 这项研究促进了对受精过程的了解以及与产量增加有关的因素。 最终，渔业将应用这些信息以增加产量。 ***
