Download or read book Alteration Tests of the Abernathy Salmon Diet 1971 written by Laurie G. Fowler and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeding trials using fall chinook salmon finglerlings were conducted at the Salmon Cultural Laboratory, Longview, Washington, during 1971 for the purpose of improving the Abernathy diet formula. The results indicated that cottonseed meal could replace a portion of the fish meal in the diet without reducing fish growth, but similar substitutions of wheat and corn gluten meal reduced growth. Fish growth was significantly increased when a diet containing 50 percent protein and 3,350 kcal per kilogram was fed as compared with a diet containing 45 percent protein and 3,350 kcal per kilogram. Soybean lecithin proved to be equal to soybean oil as a caloric source when fed at 2 percent of the diet. Two types of dried whey product with different levels of lactose content produced similar growth response. Reducing the dried whey portion of the diet to 5 percent did not affect growth, nor did methionine supplementation produce any effects. Anchovy meal was unsuitable as a replacement for herring meal.

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 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.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The razorback sucker, which has declined in abundance in the upper Colorado River primarily because of man's impact on the environment, has been recommended for listing as "threatened" in the U.S. Department of Interior's list of threatened or endangered species. During the present investigation, razorback suckers were nevertheless found in relatively large concentrations at two restricted locations -- the mouth of the Yampa River and a flooded gravel pit connected to the Colorado River near Grand Junction, Colorado.

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 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.

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 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 Abate Effects of the Organophosphate Insecticide on Bluegills and Invertebrates in Ponds written by Herman O. Sanders and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Application of the organophosphate insecticide Abate three times (at about monthly intervals) to duplicate 0.04 ha earthen ponds at 18 g/ha (4 micrograms/liter) -- the recommended application rate -- and 180 g/ha (40 micrograms/liter) caused no mortality on blugills. In ponds treated with 18 g/ha fewer bluegill fry were produced than in control ponds, brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was not affected, and accelerated growth of both fry and adults appeared to result from heavy feeding on dead or moribund Diptera larvae that resulted from the first two applications of Abate. The routine use of Abate at the recommended rate should have little adverse effect on fishery resources.
