Biography

Lee Fuiman is a professor at The University of Texas at Austin, where he also serves as the director of the Fisheries and Mariculture Laboratory and holds the Perry R. Bass Chair in Fisheries and Mariculture.

Research

Research Interests

Fuiman's research has spanned a variety of topics within marine biology, all relating to the behavioral and physiological ecology of marine vertebrate animals. As Director of the University of Texas Marine Science Institute’s Fisheries and Mariculture Laboratory, he is actively engaged in aquaculture projects. These include (1) development of culture methods for southern flounder to facilitate stock enhancement programs of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department; and (2) development of more efficient and environmentally sustainable protocols for managing broodstock fish. Other projects are at the interface of basic fish biology, fish physiology, and ecology. These include (3) dynamics of transfer of fatty acids from adult diet to eggs; (4) relationship between egg composition and larval performance in fishes; and (5) interpreting food-web dynamics from biochemical tracers in eggs.

Dr. Fuiman is on phased retirment and will not be accepting any graduate students. 

CURRENT AND RECENT PROJECTS

Team Fuiman has a long tradition of research on development, behavior, physiology, and ecology of larval fishes, but also adult fishes, seals, birds, and octopods. The scope of research projects has grown much broader, now including maternal transfer of dietary nutrients to eggs, the role of maternal and dietary fatty acids in larval performance, ecology of fatty acids, and aquaculture. Most of the current projects make use of the outstanding facilities for spawning fish and rearing larvae at the Fisheries and Mariculture Laboratory. Active projects include detailed investigations aimed at: 

  • understanding the mechanisms by which maternal diet influences larval lipid metabolism and performance, using metabolomics and transcriptomics;
  • developing more sustainable feeds and feeding protocols for adult fishes that produce higher quality eggs and larvae;
  • using fatty acid biomarkers in eggs to study marine food-web dynamics.

ABSTRACTS OF RECENT PROJECTS 

Variability in the supply of essential fatty acids and food-web linkages through red drum egg boons. - Lee A. Fuiman, L.A., Cynthia K. Faulk, Parvathi Nair, Susan K. Lowerre-Barbieri, and Sarah W. Burnsed (ICES Journal of Marine Science 2026, doi: 10.1093/icesjms/fsaf238) - Availability of essential fatty acids (EFAs) in marine ecosystems can have important consequences for organisms, populations, and communities. EFAs are highly concentrated in eggs of marine animals, and coordinated spawning creates superabundances of these nutritional resources in spatially and temporally discrete patches, known as egg boons. The objective of this study was to document the magnitude of temporal and geographic variability in the three dominant EFAs in egg boons (docosahexaenoic acid, DHA; eicos- apentaenoic acid, EPA; and arachidonic acid, ARA) and to assess the changes in trophic linkages that are responsible for that variability using 14 diet-related fatty acids and 5 trophic biomark er s in egg boons of red drum ( Sciaenops ocellatus ). Egg boons were sampled from sites in the eastern and western Gulf of Mexico (Florida and Texas). In Florida samples, EPA was the most variable EFA; its highest annual mean was 1.5 times its lowest annual mean. The corresponding values for DHA and ARA were 1.3 and 1.2. There was even more variability in Texas samples. EPA levels varied 1.9 times between the highest and lowest annual means, while the range of variation in ARA and DHA was equal or slightly lower (1.9- and 1.7-fold). The observed differences in egg boon composition represent a change in the availability of EFAs to egg consumers by as much as 19%–89% between years. Patterns of variation in diet-related fatty acids and trophic biomark er s were the same at both sites and were congruent with differences in fatty acid compositions among various species of crustaceans and fishes. Thus, availability of EFAs to egg boon consumers was driven by shifts in the proportions of crabs and fishes in the diet of adult red drum during the summer before their autumn spawning. In this way, factors that have large-scale impacts on populations of crabs and fishes can alter the flow of EFAs to lower trophic levels (planktivores) in marine communities. This study also demonstrates that shifts in fatty acid composition of egg boons can be used as an ecosystem indicator of changes in prey availability and food-web linkages.

Microbiota of larval red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus): Influence of parental diet. - Andrea M. Tarnecki, Cynthia K. Faulk, and Lee A. Fuiman (Aquaculture, doi: 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2025.743609) - Variability in survival of larval stages represents a significant hurdle in finfish aquaculture. Research suggests that parental diet may influence the microbiota of resulting offspring, yet this hypothesis has remained unexplored. To understand the relationship between broodstock diet and larval bacterial communities, this study investigated the microbiota composition of 7- and 10-day post-hatch (dph) larvae of red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) collected from 11 spawning events. Parental broodstock populations were fed a mixture of shrimp, squid, and sardines (Full diet) or shrimp only (Shrimp diet). Fatty acid composition of eggs was influenced by parental diet, whereas that of larvae was driven by larval feeds (rotifers, Artemia). Importantly, microbiota structure was different between larvae originating from parents fed the Shrimp versus the Full diets. Correlations between fatty acid profiles and the larval microbiota indicate that host (larval) fatty acids impact and respond to the microbiota. These results suggest a mechanism by which broodstock diet determines yolk composition, which alters adherence sites and selects for unique microbiota. These communities differently metabolize fatty acids and alter their availability for absorption by the host. As microbiota exert strong influence on larval growth and survival, exploring links between larva-associated bacteria and broodstock is important for optimizing marine finfish larviculture.

Tracing exploitation of a fish egg boon in marine food webs. - Parvathi Nair, and Lee A. Fuiman (Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2025, doi: 10.3354/meps14984) - Eggs of marine animals are especially rich in essential fatty acids and may be an important lipid subsidy to egg consumers. Coordinated spawning of fishes and other marine animals releases millions of planktonic eggs into the environment, creating nutritional resource pulses known as egg boons. Here, we tested the hypothesis that egg boons provide a pathway through which animals repackage nutritional resources and redistribute them counter to the main direction of trophic flow (i.e. to smaller animals at lower trophic levels). We examined an egg boon produced by an annual spawning aggregation of red drum Sciaenops ocellatus near Port Aransas, Texas. To define trophic links between the red drum egg boon and a selection of lower-trophic-level taxa (i.e. cnidarians, ctenophores, and forage fish), we measured fatty acids and bulk stable isotopes of carbon (d13C) and nitrogen (d15N) in animals collected from the field before, during, and after the red drum spawning season. Results indicated that some species of ctenophores and cnidarians, and 1 forage fish are likely consumers of fish eggs, supporting the hypothesis that egg boons represent a pathway for counter-gradient flow of nutrients from larger to smaller organisms in marine ecosystems. Thus, the widespread strategy of coordinated spawning by marine organisms serves to repackage and redistribute essential fatty acids in marine food webs, with likely nutritional benefits for egg consumers.

Diet–egg relationships and equilibration of fatty acids in eggs of southern flounder, Paralichthys lethostigma. - Hunter S. Bailey, Ashely N. Fincannon, and Lee A. Fuiman (Aquaculture, 2024, doi: 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2023.740297) - There is increasing interest in the transfer of nutrients from broodstock diets to eggs due to the consequences for egg and larval quality. Analyses were conducted with southern flounder Paralichthys lethostigma to identify which fatty acids (FAs) in eggs are influenced by broodstock diet and how long it takes for the FA composition of eggs to equilibrate to the broodstock diet. Data were obtained from a laboratory experiment and from hatchery production operations. For each source, two populations of adult flounder were given one or the other of two diet treatments. In the laboratory experiment, the diets differed markedly in FA composition. In the hatchery, a base diet was supplemented on two different schedules. Each of the four diet treatments produced eggs with significantly different mean FA compositions. Of the 27 FAs measured, 19 differed significantly between diets and had corresponding significant differences in eggs (direct diet–egg relationships). Combining results with data from a prior study showed that equilibration of eggs to a change in adult diet takes 8–16 weeks for southern flounder. These findings will be useful for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols for captive flounder being used by stock-enhancement programs that are designed to mitigate the long-term and widespread population declines of this species.

Tracing exploitation of egg boons: An experimental study using fatty acids and stable isotopes. - Parvathi Nair, Cambria M. Miller and Lee A. Fuiman (Journal of Experimental Biology, 2023, doi: 10.1242/jeb.246247) - Coordinated spawning of marine animals releases millions of planktonic eggs into the environment, known as egg boons. Eggs are rich in essential fatty acids and may be an important lipid subsidy to egg consumers. Our aim was to validate the application of fatty acid and stable isotope tracers of egg consumption to potential egg consumers and to confirm egg consumption by the selected species. We conducted feeding experiments with ctenophores, crustaceans and fishes. We fed these animals a common diet of Artemia or a commercial feed (Otohime) and simulated egg boons for half of them by intermittently supplementing the common diet with red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) eggs for 10–94 days. Controls did not receive eggs. Fatty acid profiles of consumers fed eggs were significantly different from those of controls 24 h after the last egg-feeding event. Consumers took on fatty acid characteristics of eggs. In fishes and ctenophores, fatty acid markers of egg consumption did not persist 2–5 days after the last egg-feeding event, but markers of egg consumption persisted in crustaceans for at least 5–10 days. Additionally, consumption of eggs, which had high values of δ15N, led to δ15N enrichment in crustaceans and a fish. We conclude that fatty acids and nitrogen stable isotope can be used as biomarkers of recent egg consumption in marine animals, validating their use for assessing exploitation of egg boons in nature.

Predation of baitfishes associated with whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef. - Christine Barry, Adrian C. Gleiss, Luciana C. Ferreira, Michele Thums, Randall W. Davis, Lee A. Fuiman, Naomi R. Roche, and Mark G. Meekan (Marine Biology, 2023, doi: 10.1007/s00227-023-04291-4) - Baitfishes may aggregate around megafauna such as whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) to gain protection from larger predatory fishes. Here, we used videos from deployments of animal-borne cameras on whale sharks and provided by tourism operators at Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia to document large schools of trevally (Carangidae spp.) consuming entire schools of baitfishes (Carangidae spp.) swimming with whale sharks within 2–45 s. These videos showed that small baitfishes are still very vulnerable to predatory fishes when accompanying whale sharks, refuting the hypothesis that whale sharks provide baitfishes shelter from predators. It thus seems more likely that the association between whale sharks and baitfishes may confer other advantages such as reduced costs of locomotion and/or enhanced feeding opportunities for baitfishes rather than protection from predation.
