This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Habitat is a central focus of ecological research and fisheries management. For example, a Web of Science search returned over 88,000 peer-reviewed studies that examined fish habitat, the National Fish Habitat Partnership has invested millions of dollars to "foster fish habitat conservation," and "essential fish habitat" is a central tenet of marine fisheries policy. The overarching goal of my thesis was to examine the spatial context of fish habitat research in order to improve the effectiveness of fisheries management. To achieve this goal, I quantified approaches to fish habitat used in the peer reviewed literature. Then I tested if approaches to assessing habitat provided different ecological answers to key questions using 1,200 young of year largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) collected in Hillsdale Lake, Kansas, in 2014-2015. Within, the fisheries habitat literature, several gaps exist. First, although vegetation was a major focus of young of year largemouth bass habitat research, few studies quantitatively compared young of year largemouth abundance and diet across vegetated and non-vegetated habitats. Second, relatively little of the fisheries habitat literature on young of year largemouth bass explicitly tested habitat type, a common approach used in management and restoration. Third, peer reviewed papers on young of year largemouth bass physical habitat used multiple approaches to studying habitat (local characteristics, habitat type, lakewide characteristics), then often ignored spatial variation completely in interpreting empirical results. Field sampling provided information on several of these gaps. First, young of year largemouth bass were more abundant in vegetation and beach habitats than in rock, wood, or offshore habitats. Young of year largemouth bass utilized beach habitats as often as vegetated habitats. Diets were similar across vegetated and beach habitat types. Second, size of young of year largemouth bass increased through time but size and habitat were not related. My data showed that the size range seen for first year largemouth bass in the first summer in Hillsdale Lake did not alter their distribution or diet. From my research, I make the following recommendations. 1.) Concurrently examine local characteristics, habitat type, and lakewide characteristics with the same data set. 2.) Include insights about different approaches in the discussion of all future fisheries habitat studies. 3.) Continue to test multiple approaches to test fisheries response to habitat. In summary, using different approaches to study young of year largemouth bass habitat use could improve our scientific understanding and aid in restoration and management of reservoir and lake fisheries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is part of a series of community profiles produced by the Fish and Wildlife Service to provide up-to-date information on coastal ecological communities of the tidal freshwater marsh community along the Atlantic coast from southern New England to northern Florida. Tidal freshwater marshes occupy the uppermost portion of the estuary between the oligohaline or low salinity zone and nontidal freshwater wetlands. By combining the physical process of tidal flushing with the biota of the freshwater marsh, a dynamic, diverse, and distinct estuarine community has been created. The profile covers all structural and functional aspects of the community: its geology, hydrology, biotic components, and energy, nutrient and biomass cycling.

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.

Download or read book Biology and Culture of Channel Catfish written by C.S. Tucker and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-09-30 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of channel catfish farming in the United States serves as a model for the development of pond-based aquaculture industries worldwide. Channel catfish farming is the largest and economically most important aquaculture industry in the United States. In 2003, over 300,000 metric tons (662 million pounds) of channel catfish were processed, representing about half the total United States aquaculture production. Demand for farm-raised catfish is strong, with record processing years in 2002 and 2003. In 22 chapters written by active scientists in the field, Biology and Culture of Channel Catfish comprehensively synthesizes over 30 years of research on this American icon. Throughout the book, fundamental biological aspects of channel catfish are linked to practical culture techniques. Topics include: • Latest information on reproductive physiology, genetics, and breeding • Comprehensive treatment of catfish nutrition, feeds, and feeding practices • Water quality management and pond dynamics • In-depth review of immunology in channel catfish • Practical information on diseases and health management • Techniques for commercial culture, including innovative techniques such as raceways, recirculating systems, and partitioned aquaculture systems • Catfish economics and marketing • Exploration of environmental concerns, including recommended Best Management Practices

Download or read book Fish Physiology Euryhaline Fishes written by Stephen D. McCormick and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for ion and water homeostasis is common to all life. For fish, ion and water homeostasis is an especially important challenge because they live in direct contact with water and because of the large variation in the salt content of natural waters (varying by over 5 orders of magnitude). Most fish are stenohaline and are unable to move between freshwater and seawater. Remarkably, some fishes are capable of life in both freshwater and seawater. These euryhaline fishes constitute an estimated 3 to 5% of all fish species. Euryhaline fishes represent some of the most iconic and interesting of all fish species, from salmon and sturgeon that make epic migrations to intertidal mudskippers that contend with daily salinity changes. With the advent of global climate change and increasing sea levels, understanding the environmental physiology of euryhaline species is critical for environmental management and any mitigative measures. This volume will provide the first integrative review of euryhalinity in fish. There is no other book that focuses on fish that have the capacity to move between freshwater and seawater. The different challenges of salt and water balance in different habitats have led to different physiological controls and regulation, which heretofore has not been reviewed in a single volume. - Collects and synthesizes the literature covering the state of knowledge of the physiology of euryhaline fish - Provides the foundational information needed for researchers from a variety of fields, including fish physiology, conservation and evolutionary biology, genomics, ecology, ecotoxicology, and comparative physiology - All authors are the leading researchers and emerging leaders in their fields
