Direct and Indirect Effects of Gizzard Shad on Bluegill Growth and Population Size Structure
—Competition with gizzard shad Dorosoma cepedianum has been shown to influence survival of larval bluegills Lepomis macrochirus as well as growth and size structure of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides, which prey on these planktivorous species. However, little is known about how the presence of gizzard shad influences bluegills beyond the larval stage. We examined bluegill–gizzard shad int...
متن کاملSize-specific growth of bluegill, largemouth bass and channel catfish in relation to prey availability and limnological variables
Growth of sympatric populations of three important sport fish species: bluegill Lepomis macrochirus, largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus, in 14 Illinois reservoirs was assessed in an attempt to relate size-specific growth to environmental conditions. Multiple regression relationships for most species and size classes explained a large percentage of the ...
متن کاملEffects of American Water Willow Establishment on Density, Growth, Diet, and Condition of Age-0 Largemouth Bass in Kansas Reservoirs
—Many Kansas reservoirs are currently experiencing decreased sport fish production as a result of the typical aging processes that occur in impounded systems. American water willow Justicia americana was planted in three Kansas reservoirs (.1,800 ha) for littoral zone habitat enhancement to mitigate sport fish losses and increase the recruitment of age-0 largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides. W...
متن کاملEffects of gizzard shad on benthic communities in reservoirs
Effects of gizzard shad Dorosoma cepedianum on benthic communities in a large southern reservoir (Lake Texoma, U.S.A.) were examined during two field enclosure and exclosure experiments in which enclosures were stocked at high and low densities in 1998 and 1999, respectively. In both years, chironomid abundance significantly increased in treatments that excluded large fishes from foraging on se...
متن کاملAcute Toxicity of an Acid Mine Drainage Mixing Zone to Juvenile Bluegill and Largemouth Bass
—The toxicity of an acid mixing zone produced at the confluence of a stream that was contaminated by acid mine drainage (AMD) and a pH-neutral stream was investigated in toxicity tests with juvenile bluegill Lepomis macrochirus and largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides. Fish mortalities in instream cages located in the mixing zone, below the mixing zone, and upstream in both tributaries were co...
