Depth Charge Issue 2: a Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Zine
No full textNot dated.A special 43-page issue published without artwork. It contains three stories: Project Neptune ("Tentacles slapped against the inner hatch as the cold water poured in, buoying Crane up as he kicked slowly out into the ocean and towards the nearest dome. He didn't think he had the strength to reach the Seaview ..."), False Image ("You know it was a bomb, don't you? Not a malfunction?"), Suprise (For some reason, Nelson takes Morton ashore with him rather than Crane, and Morton doesn't like the idea very much. Quite apart from anything else, Crane appears to have forgotten his birthday.), and An Inhuman Experiment ("Crane's first warning that he wasn't alone were the silvery bubbles that rose up around him in a shimmering curtain ....")

Abundance and Diversity of Pipefishes and Seahorses from Estuarine Habitats in Matagorda Bay, Texas
Get PDFVegetated habitats are important components of estuarine seascapes in the Gulf of Mexico and support a diverse range of marine fishes. Unlike some fishes that only spend a few months in the estuary to spawn, pipefishes and seahorses (family Syngnathidae) are common constituents of estuarine seascapes as both juveniles and adults. This year-long presence in the estuary can be quantified to detail expected density of estuarine fish populations. Despite being common constituents of estuarine fish assemblages, few studies have quantified the seasonal abundance and diversity of syngnathids along the Texas Gulf Coast. In the present study, benthic sled surveys were conducted to characterize the abundance and diversity of pipefishes and seahorses within seagrass and saltmarsh habitats in Matagorda Bay, Texas. A total of 274 individuals, representing 5 species (4 pipefishes, 1 seahorse), were collected during surveys taken between November 2019 and December 2020. Peak abundance of syngnathids occurred in June (mean =0.46 fish/m2) with a secondary peak in abundance occurring in October (mean = 0.40 fish/m2). Alternatively, diversity was significantly higher in October than in other months(H���= 1.7). Our findings indicate that syngnathids are common in both seagrass and saltmarsh habitats and add to the assemblage diversity of Matagorda Bay, potentially enhancing the productivity and resilience of this estuarine ecosystem
