Book excerpt: Reporductive success was relatively consistent, and adequate to maintain species abundance at a nearly constant level, during 1963-69. Both abundance and growth in length increased from the lower to the upper portion of the reservoir. In most characteristics -- growth in length, length-weight relation, age at maturity, and food -- goldeye in Lake Oahe were similar to those from other Missouri River impoundments.
Download or read book Atlantic Salmon Salmo Salar written by Florence T. Wright and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North American stocks of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) have been declining. One measure being employed to reverse that trend is increased hatchery production. As with husbandry of other animals, intensive rearing is usually associated with higher than normal health risks. Research on diseases of Atlantic salmon can help prevent, reduce, or otherwise control mortality due to problem parasites, infections, and other diseases. For planning of research as well as for diagnostic work, health management, and husbandry, published information on diseases of the Atlantic salmon must be readily available. Inasmuch as the literature is widely scattered, the purpose of this work is to compile a bibliography from international sources on the diseases (detection, diagnosis, identification, and control) of Atlantic salmon. Most of the references are arranged alphabetically by author, either have been annotated by the staff of the Eastern Fish Disease Laboratory, or are abstracts by the author.

Download or read book Rainbow Trout Growth in Circular Tanks written by James L. Brauhn and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prediction equations correlating density of fingerling rainbow trout with growth, yield, and food use efficiency indicated that ammonia nitrogen resulting from high fish densities wes responsible for reductions in all three factors. These predictable density-dependent responses present fish-culturists with alternatives of density selection for evaluation and attainment of specific goals. In examples, fish-culturists, by manipulating density, could achieve rapid growth, produce the maximum weight possible, balance yield with cost, optimize fish quality, or combine two or more of these goals.
Download or read book Neuroendocrine Mediation of Photoperiod and Other Environmental Influences on Physiological Responses of Salmonids written by Hugh A. Poston and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manipulation of photoperiods, combined with modifications by other environmental conditions such as temperature and salinity, can alter growth, smoltification, and sexual maturation of salmonid fishes by way of a neuroendocrine pathway. The extent of responses of salmonids to environmental changes, however, is restricted by circadian endogenous metabolic rhythms that cannot be completely overcome by external factors. The success of the manipulation of photoperiod depends primarily on four factors: the daily length and the duration of the light treatment; the season and time of day during which fish are exposed to light; the age, sex, size and species of fish; and the type of physiological response under consideration. Although gaps remain in the available information, salmonids apparently need systematically changing, intermittent periods of darkness for optimum long-term stimulation of growth, reproduction, and migration.
Download or read book Food of Alewives Yellow Perch Spottail Shiners Trout perch and Slimy and Fourhorn Sculpins in Southeastern Lake Michigan written by LaRue Wells and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stomachs of 1,064 alewives, 1,103 yellow perch, 246 spottail shiners, 288 trout-perch, 454 slimy sculpins, and 562 fourhorn sculpins from Lake Michigan were examined for food contents. Fish were sampled primarily from March to November and nearly all were caught at the bottom in the southeastern part of the lake near Saugatuck, Michigan. Pontoporeia was the most commonly reprented food item in the stomach contents of the fish examined, with immature midges, Mysis (a type of freshwater shrimp), copepods, cladocerans, fingernail clams and crayfish also being represented. Different species consumed different proportions of foods. Zooplankton was the principle food of alewives and spottail shiners, but was also consumed in small quantities by yellow perch and trout perch. Mysis was important to fourhorn sculpins, in addition to Pontoporeia. Immature midges were a major portion of spottail shiners and trout perch, also being consumed by alewives. Fish were often the most important food of yellow perch in the largest size category. Crayfish were a sizable portion of the diet of yellow perch on rocky bottoms, but sparingly on smooth bottoms. Spottail shiners also ate substantial numbers of fingernail clams.
Download or read book Toxicity of Three Herbicides butyl Isooctyl and Propylene Glycol Butyl Ether Esters of 2 4 D to Cutthroat Trout and Lake Trout written by D. F. Woodward and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two formulations of the herbicide 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) - the butyl ester (BE) and the propylene glycol butyl ether ester (PGBEE) -- had 96-h LC50's to cutthroat trout and lake trout ranging from 490 to 1,200 microgram/liter in static tests. A third formulation -- the isooctyl ester (IE) -- was not toxic to cutthroat trout or lake trout at concentrations below 60.000 microgram/liter. The butyl ester (2,4-D BE) was slightly more toxic than 2,4-D PGBEE, and the toxicity of both esters increased as water temperature decreased.
Download or read book Changes in Distribution of Trout in Great Smoky Mountains National Park 1900 1977 written by George Alan Kelly and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant changes have occurred in the distribution of trout in streams of Great Smoky Mountains National Park since 1900. By the mid-1970's the original range of the native brook trout had been reduced by about 70% and the species was relegated to suboptimal habitat in head water streams. Most of the stream sections lost by brook trout became the territory of the introduced rainbow trout, which in 1977 occupied about 80% of the Park waters. After 1950, brown trout introduced in State waters outside the Park established reproducing populations in some 50 miles of stream formerly occupied only by rainbow trout. If current trends continue, the recovery of brook trout in Park water may be difficult, if not impossible, and brown trout may occupy much of the territory now held by rainbow trout.
Download or read book The Commercial Fishery in Lake Oahe North and South Dakota 1964 70 written by Joseph R. Higham and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten species were commercially harvested in Lake Oahe, among which bigmouth buffalo predominated (63.8% of the total weight), smallmouth buffalo and goldeye ranked second, and third. Variations in the seasonal and annual production of buffalo were governed by market conditions and availability. Production and minor species depended on the amount of fishing effort directed toward the harvest of buffalo. Gill and loop nets were principal fishing gears. The fishing season usually extended from April through December; most fishing was in May through August.
Download or read book Age Growth and Maturity of Thirteen Species of Fish from Lake Oahe During the Early Years of Impoundment 1963 68 written by William Roland Nelson and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The body-scale relation, calculated length, length-weight relation, age at maturity, and sex ratio of 13 major species collected at Lake Oahe from 1963 to 1968 with trap nets and bottom trawls are described. Eight species grew at a faster rate than has been recorded in other Missouri River reservoirs: goldeye, bigmouth buffalo, smallmouth buffalo, white bass, black crappie, white crappie, walleye, and freshwater drum. Four species grew at rates similar to those recorded from other Missouri River reserviors: carp, yellow perch, northern pike, and sauger. One species -- river carpsucker -- grew slower than in other waters. Growth generally was excellent for all major species in the early years of impoundment (1959-62) but then declined. Although inundation of new lands was associated with rapid growth of fishes in the early years of impoundment, water level fluctuations during the growing season had no discernable effect on growth rate. Increased average reservoir depth, which decreased the amount of littoral area, was associated with decreased fish growth.

Download or read book Ecology of Larval Fishes in Lake Oahe South Dakota written by William Roland Nelson and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time and location of spawning, food and larvae, and habitats used as nursery areas by young-of-the-year fishes were studied from 1972 to 1975 in South Dakota waters of Lake Oahe, a main stem Missouri River reservoir. Sampling locations were in the tributary rivres -- the Grand Moreau, and Cheyenne -- and their embayments. Year-class strength of river-spawning species was strongly correlated with river flow rates during the spawning season. Success of reservoir-spawning species was primarily dependent on above-average water levels, which inundated terrestrial vegetation to provide a substrate for egg deposition and cover for larvae. Preserving adequate streamflow and enhancing reservoir shoreline areas by managing water levels, seeding vegetation, and eliminating grazing alongshore would probably ensure adequate reproduction of most areas.
