Book Factors Related to Stocking Success of 178 mm Channel Catfish in Medium Size Oklahoma Reservoirs

Download or read book Factors Related to Stocking Success of 178 mm Channel Catfish in Medium Size Oklahoma Reservoirs written by David Randall Stewart (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus is a commonly stocked freshwater fish species. Prior studies indicate that stocking advanced size (> 150 mm total length (TL)) fingerlings increases post-release survival but few studies have identified factors that influence stocking success. The present study was conducted to determine stocking contribution and growth of advanced size channel catfish (~178 mm TL), evaluate the impact of stocking and cessation of stocking, quantify habitat relationships, and evaluate trophic relationships of wild and stocked fish in medium size Oklahoma reservoirs: lakes McMurty and Ponca (control lakes), Okemah and Okmulgee (cease-stock lakes), and Greenleaf and Lone Chimney (stocked lakes). Channel catfish were immersed in a buffered solution of oxytetracycline (OTC) and stocked in October 2010 at lakes Greenleaf and Lone Chimney. The higher relative abundance of resident channel catfish in Lake Lone Chimney may have affected survival and growth of stocked fish. Stocking contribution at Lake Lone Chimney was low (~30%) compared to Lake Greenleaf (~98%). Fish stocked in Greenleaf reached an average length of 348 mm two years post-stock, whereas fish stocked in Lone Chimney grew to 240 mm, an increase by only 62 mm since stocking. To evaluate the full impact of stocking, two reservoirs were no longer stocked as part of an experimental manipulation. Relative abundance, growth, and size structure responded as expected. Cessation of stocking resulted in lower relative abundance, increased growth rates, and larger size structure. Whereas relative abundance increased for one stocked lake (Greenleaf), mean length at age and growth decreased, and size structure shifted to smaller size fish. Results from the multi-scale models indicate significant associations with both near-shore and land-use habitat types. Channel catfish were found at higher abundances in turbid areas with rock and coarse-woody debris, and a negative relationship was evident with aquatic vegetation, residential development and agriculture land-use. Trophic relationships indicated that intra-specific competitive interactions were evident. These results provide further evidence that density-dependent mechanisms likely reduced both survival and growth of stocked fish in Lake Lone Chimney. It also suggests that both habitat and relative stock size should be considered before stocking advanced size fingerlings.

Book Largemouth Bass Aquaculture

Download or read book Largemouth Bass Aquaculture written by James Tidwell and published by 5m Books Ltd. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) are highly prized as sports fish and increasingly as high-value food fish. The farming of largemouth bass is becoming increasingly important and international as the procedures and management for successful culture are being refined. Largemouth bass aquaculture is now widespread across the USA and increasingly in other countries worldwide: the largemouth bass aquaculture industry in China is particularly strong. Largemouth Bass Aquaculture provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the farming of largemouth bass, with chapters encompassing all major areas of importance, including: their history, production, environment requirements, reproduction, culture methods, diseases and major markets. Many of the world experts in the field have contributed chapters to this landmark publication and the editors are very well-known and respected worldwide. The book is fully international in scope, drawing information from all major countries where largemouth bass are farmed. Largemouth Bass Aquaculture is an important resource for those working in aquaculture, including fish farm operatives and managers, veterinarians and fish health managers, inspectors and consultants. Personnel within companies supplying the aquaculture industry with feed, technical equipment and pharmaceuticals will find a wealth of useful information within this book. Libraries in all universities and establishments teaching and researching aquaculture, fish biology, ichthyology, fisheries, aquatic sciences and veterinary studies should have copies of this comprehensive book on their shelves. 5m Books
