Book Hybrid Swarming of Neosho Bass with Non native Smallmouth Bass in the Upper Illinois River Basin of Oklahoma  and Implications for Individual Growth

Download or read book Hybrid Swarming of Neosho Bass with Non native Smallmouth Bass in the Upper Illinois River Basin of Oklahoma and Implications for Individual Growth written by Kobe James White and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent molecular investigations support the distinctiveness of the Neosho Bass (Micropterus velox) of the Ozark Highlands from Smallmouth Bass (M. dolomieu). Like other endemic black basses, Neosho Bass are threatened by hybridization with non-native Micropterus forms. Non-native Smallmouth Bass were stocked in Lake Tenkiller in 1991 and 1992, resulting in introgressive hybridization with Neosho Bass in areas upstream of the impoundment. To inform management and conservation efforts, the main objectives of this thesis were to 1) characterize the spatial extent and directionality of introgressive hybridization, and 2) examine the influences of genetic identity on individual growth. From 2019-2021, specimens were collected longitudinally from localities along the Illinois River, Baron Fork, Caney Creek, Flint Creek, and Lake Tenkiller. We genotyped 1,272 fish with a SNP panel designed to identify Smallmouth Bass, Neosho Bass, and interspecific hybrids. Assignment of genotypes with STRUCTURE, NewHybrids, and introgress revealed an ongoing hybrid swarm in the Illinois River mainstem, with some areas of non-hybrid Neosho Bass remaining in far upstream reaches of smaller tributaries. For the second objective, three independent readers estimated the age of 650 fish using transversely sectioned sagittal otoliths. Fish ranged 67-536 mm in total length and estimated ages of these fish 0-10 years. Length-at-age data was then coupled with genetic results to parameterize von Bertalanffy growth functions. Analyses of von Bertalanffy growth functions revealed that estimated total length of non-hybrid Smallmouth Bass is noticeably larger than that of non-hybrid Neosho Bass beginning at age-1 and becomes increasingly divergent with age. The results of this thesis can be used to guide conservation plans for Neosho Bass across their narrow native range and to inform future management decisions regarding population dynamics of the sport fishery. In the future, we plan to couple our results with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing to provide additional insights into maternal ancestry of hybrids and the potential for directional introgression.

Book Centrarchid Fishes

Download or read book Centrarchid Fishes written by Steven Cooke and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-09-08 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centrarchid fishes, also known as freshwater sunfishes, include such prominent species as the Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass and Bluegill. They are endemic to Eastern North America where they form part of a multi-million dollar sports fishing industry, but they have also been widely introduced around the globe by recreational anglers, in aquaculture programs and by government fisheries agencies. Centrarchid Fishes provides comprehensive coverage of all major aspects of this ecologically and commercially important group of fishes. Coverage includes diversity, ecomorphology, phylogeny and genetics, hybridization, reproduction, early life history and recruitment, feeding and growth, ecology, migrations, bioenergetics, physiology, diseases, aquaculture, fisheries management and conservation. Chapters have been written by well-known and respected scientists and the whole has been drawn together by Professors Cooke and Philipp, themselves extremely well respected in the area of fisheries management and conservation. Centrarchid Fishes is an essential purchase for all fish biologists, ecologists, fisheries managers and fish farm personnel who work with centrarchid species across the globe.

  • Publisher : University Press of Kentucky
  • Release : 2021-11-21
  • ISBN : 0813188245
  • Pages : 559 pages

Download or read book The American Darters written by Robert A. Kuehne and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The darters are a fascinating group of colorful and diminutive freshwater fish whose beauty rivals that of the tropical reef fishes. Native only to North America, the darters occur widely, especially in the United States, but are little known to the general public, largely because of their small size—few exceed six inches and some measure a mere one inch at maturity. This book is the first comprehensive guide to the darters, covering all named and several undescribed forms—140 species in all. Each species account includes a synoptic description to aid in separation of similar species and subspecies, a range map, and discussion of the species' distribution, natural heritage, abundance, and scientific name. An illustrated key and glossary will further assist scientists, students, fishermen, and aquarium specialists in identifying darter species. Central to this volume is the series of 144 handsome color photographs illustrating nearly all known darter species and several subspecies. Most of the specimens shown were caught by the authors at sites throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and photographed by them on site using a recently developed technique that captures the full brilliance of the living fish. Because of their importance as indicators of environmental quality, the darters are receiving increasing attention today from scientists and naturalists. Public interest was focused recently on the plight of the snail darter, but many other darter species are either threatened or endangered, and others face an uncertain future as human activities continue to degrade our waterways. All those with an interest in preserving the natural heritage of our rivers and streams will find this comprehensive guide to the darters an invaluable tool.
