This book was released on 2017 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the mechanisms regulating population fluctuations, such as births, reproduction, and deaths, remains a persistent question in ecology. Mortality can be incurred at any point during the lifecycle, but mortality rates can be high for juvenile animals in particular. One source of this early life history mortality is via predation. Accurately measuring predation rates requires intensive studies, and is further complicated by variability in habitats and changes in the extent of spatial and temporal overlap between predators and prey. In this study, we examined abundance, spatial distributions and diets of two piscivorous fishes and their predation impact on juvenile salmonids in a well-studied large western lake, Lake Washington. We addressed the following questions: (i) What is the abundance of cutthroat trout and northern pikeminnow in Lake Washington? (ii) At what rates do these predators consume juvenile salmon throughout the year, and how many total juvenile salmon are consumed given the predator population size? Understanding which factors influence predation and the extent of this predatory impact requires temporally and spatially explicit data on the interaction between predators and prey, including both juvenile sockeye salmon and the main alternative prey fish species. To observe these interactions, we used several overlapping sampling types across trophic levels. We used a Chapman-modified population estimation procedure to estimate a cutthroat trout population size of 22,791 ≥300 mm FL and the same procedure to estimate a northern pikeminnow population size of 13,582 ≥300 mm FL. We also used a relative catch method to estimate a northern pikeminnow population size of 112,816 ≥300 mm FL. The magnitude of predation on juvenile salmon and other prey fishes varied considerably among months and between cutthroat trout and northern pikeminnow, between small and large size classes of each predator species, and between years. In 2015, predation mortality of lake entry 2015 (sub-yearling) sockeye salmon was 20% of fry production in that year, and predation losses of lake entry 2014 (yearling) sockeye were 56% of pre-smolt production. In 2016, mortality of lake entry 2016 (sub-yearling) sockeye was 44% of fry production, and predation losses of lake entry 2014 sockeye were 473% of pre-smolt production of that year. Our work shows that the current predation rate is high enough and these predator populations are of sufficient size that predation is a significant source of mortality for juvenile sockeye and Chinook salmon in this system. This work highlights a scenario of combined physical and biological factors that influence mortality in juvenile fish, and can potentially inform the potential for predation mortality in other lake systems.

Book The Inland Fishes of Mississippi

Download or read book The Inland Fishes of Mississippi written by Stephen T. Ross and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2001 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deluxe, comprehensive guide to the native species of Mississippi Download Plain Text version Where was the largest bass caught in Mississippi? What streams are sometimes home to the gulf sturgeon? How can an angler tell a grass pickerel from a walleye? In Inland Fishes of Mississippi, Stephen T. Ross answers these questions and many more. Mississippi waters are some of the richest inland fish habitats in the United States. In fact, only four states have more native fish than Mississippi's 204. Inland Fishes of Mississippi is for anglers and nature lovers who want to learn more about this thriving diversity. Introductory chapters present the history of the study of fish in Mississippi, the distribution patterns of species, important conservation issues, and valuable information on identifying fish by examining body shape and structure. Following these are illustrated keys to all the families of fish known to inhabit inland waters. Each key is a detailed guide to identifying the specific species within a family of fish. Keys include: color photographs of freshly collected examples meanings of scientific names for fish descriptions of color and physical changes maximum sizes of fish, including records for game fish precise maps of distribution vital information on habitat requirements, feeding, and behavior tips on where to catch a species status of conservation efforts For both the casual angler and the ichthyologist, Inland Fishes of Mississippi will prove a constant resource and an irreplaceable asset for identifying, observing, and catching the state's various species. Stephen T. Ross is professor of biological sciences and Curator of Fishes at the University of Southern Mississippi. The editor for ecology and ethology of Copeia, he has also published articles in numerous journals such as American Naturalist, Environmental Biology of Fishes, and Transactions of the American Fisheries Society.
