Smith and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The largemouth bass (LMB) Micropterus salmoides fishery at Sam Rayburn Reservoir is managed with a 356-mm minimum length limit (MLL). In 2001, 47% of anglers favored more restrictive LMB MLLs, assuming a resulting increase of fish. In 2003, 6,021 LMB were tagged to estimate total annual angling mortality (TAM) and explore potential benefits of more restrictive MLLs via population modeling. Due to popularity of tournament angling and high voluntary release rate at Sam Rayburn Reservoir, TAM estimates included non-tournament harvest, tournament mortality, and hooking mortality. Catch and harvest of tagged fish was estimated via creel sampling to avoid non-reporting uncertainty, adjusted for recruitment and tag loss, and expanded to estimate total annual tagged fish catch and harvest. Tournament and hooking mortality was simulated at rates of 10, 30, and 50% and 5, 10, and 15%, respectively. Population loss from non-tournament harvest was 6--14% and tournament and hooking mortality simulations both resulted in losses of 1--6%. (Abstract shortened.).

This book was released on 2018 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angling practices subject Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides to multiple stressors, causing homeostatic physiological disturbances. The combined effects of ambient and live well temperature on stress responses from exercise have not been thoroughly examined. Large numbers of fish required for stress experiments can be produced by intensive culture, but hatchery fish may differ physiologically from wild fish due to dietary carbohydrates. Therefore, the effects of diet, population, and temperature on stress response and health were examined. Stress responses were similar among fish fed formulated and live diets and liver health improved within 4-6 weeks. Although cortisol responses of hatchery and wild fish differed, secondary stress responses were similar. Fish subjected to simulated angling at temperatures of 17, 25, 33 °C with live well temperature differentials of -4, 0, +4 °C, had the lowest resilience to stress at the warmest temperatures, exhausting energy supplies, coincident with metabolic acidosis and poor ion regulation.
Download or read book The Impacts of Environmental and Anthropogenic Stressors on Largemouth Bass an Integration of Field and Laboratory Studies written by Matthew M. Van Landeghem and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several environmental stressors can impact the physiology and survival of fishes. Fish experience natural fluctuations in temperature and dissolved oxygen, but variations in these parameters due to anthropogenic sources are typically greater in magnitude and duration. Changes in temperature and oxygen of anthropogenic origins may therefore have larger negative impacts on fish than those occurring during natural events. Physiological parameters are sensitive indicators of the impacts of stressors by providing insight into the manner in which fish are disturbed by the stressor. Fish may display cumulative physiological responses to successive stressors, but the concept of synergy among multiple thermal stressors is poorly understood. Further, some fish species can be subjected to competitive angling events, which expose fish to an array of additional stressors that can increase mortality. The impacts of these events may change over seasons as fish display seasonal changes in behavior and physiology. Latitudinal origin may also affect the physiological response and mortality of fish exposed to common environmental stressors as individual populations are adapted to local environmental conditions. This thesis focuses on addressing these potential impacts on physiological parameters and mortality of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) and provides implications for management and conservation. Largemouth bass were relatively robust to abrupt changes in temperature and oxygen, but were perturbed from physiological homeostasis during large (12°C) temperature shocks and low (

Download or read book Effects of Feed Training Methods and Light Intensity on Survival and Feed Training Success of Largemouth Bass Micropterus Salmoides and Effectiveness of New Bird Repellant Devices in an Aquaculture Setting written by Derek W. Sims and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demand for food size and trophy largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides is steadily increasing, especially in North American cities with large Asian ethnic populations and in pay fishing operations. Retail prices occasionally reach US $13 per kg live weight. However, largemouth bass are a carnivorous species more difficult to feed habituate than other fish produced in commercial aquaculture operations. As a naturally predacious fish, fingerling bass generally resist consumption of commercial fish feeds. Improving current feed habituation techniques to increase the percentage of largemouth bass fingerlings successfully feed habituated would increase profits, productivity and efficiency, and available product in the largemouth bass industry. Additionally, little research has been done to evaluate bird predation on largemouth bass fingerlings and on non-lethal methods or devices to deter piscivorous birds and prevent their consumption of fingerling fishes. Devices and techniques previously tested have provided no relief from bird predation, so new devices and strategies are needed. The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate (1) different feed habituation methods and their effect on survival and feed habituation success for fingerling largemouth bass, (2) different light intensities and their effect on survival and feed habituation success, and (3) piscivorous bird feeding behavior and the effectiveness of a birds of prey call in deterring fish-eating birds. I determined that hand feeding, using only automatic feeders, or combinations of both, did not result in significant differences with regard to survival or feed habituation success. Similar rates were observed with all methods tested. Initial fingerling size (total length, TL) was found to be the most important factor affecting survival and feed habituation success. Fish ranging from 40-50 mm (TL) survived and feed habituated at significantly higher rates than 30-40 and 50-60 mm (TL) fingerlings. Light intensity was found to have no impact on feed habituation success and no impact on survival except at the darkest level tested. Reduced light levels result in decreased ability of culturists to observe fish for health and cannibalism. The importance of similar fish size during culture was again demonstrated with high rates of cannibalism in tanks of ungraded fish. Birds-of-prey calls failed to repel fish-eating birds from the fish farm. In summary, labor costs may be reduced since hand feeding is not necessary in feed habituation largemouth bass. Light intensity should remain at intermediate levels at most, as other researchers have shown that extremely bright conditions cause increased stress responses in fish. To date, physical barriers are the only demonstrated effective prevention mechanism for bird predation in aquaculture. My results answer some questions regarding largemouth bass culture, but many more remain unanswered and will require additional research and study.
