Macroscale Assessment of American Shad Spawning and Nursery Habitat in the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers, Virginia
—Variation in habitat suitability can alter the growth and mortality of early life stages of fishes but is often difficult to measure, quantify, and apply to the entire system. We designed and tested habitat suitability index (HSI) models incorporating both proximate riverine parameters and surrounding landscape features as determinates of optimal spawning and nursery areas for American shad Al...
متن کاملUse of habitat heterogeneity in salmonid spawning habitat rehabilitation design
A shortage of salmonid spawning habitat on dammed and regulated rivers has led to the popularity of spawning habitat rehabilitation projects. Habitat heterogeneity is thought to be an important feature of aquatic ecosystems, but specific metrics for design and assessment are lacking. In August 2002, ~ 2,786 metric tons of spawning gravels and 7 large boulders were placed in a 155 meter reach on...
متن کاملThe innate immunity changes of the female anadromous hilsa shad, Tenualosa ilisha , during spawning and post spawning season
Tenualosa ilisha (Hamilton) is a valuable migratory fish belonging to the family Clupeidae and it is distributed in a wide area from the Persian Gulf to coasts of Pakistan and China’s southern sea. The aim of the present study was to investigate the changes occurring in innate immunity parameters during upstream migration and comparing them to those during post spawning. Sixty mature female hil...

متن کاملFeeding Behavior of American Shad during Spawning Migration in the York River, Virginia
—Throughout its native range, American shad Alosa sapidissima is thought to cease feeding during anadromous migration. We examined the feeding habits of American shad during spawning migration by documenting changes in diet composition and feeding that occur in mature fish in the York River, Virginia. American shad were collected prior to and after spawning at various locations on a gradient fr...
