Of 13 species of fish recorded as hosts for the acanthocephalan, Tanaorhamphus longirostris (Van Cleave 1913), only two regularly contain mature worms. These are the gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum (Lesueur)) and the threadfin shad (D. petenense (Giinther)). To date, only one species of intermediate host, the calanoid copepod, Diaptomus pallidus Herrick, has been reported. In Caesar Creek Lak...

This study considers the importance of lake trout habitat as a factor determining persistent organochlorine (OC) concentration. Lake trout is a stenothermal, cold water species and sensitive to hypoxia. Thus, factors such as lake depth, thermal stratification, and phosphorus enrichment may determine not only which lakes can support lake trout but may also influence among-lake variability in lak...

Nature has always proven that it is able to overcome its problems. However, human manipulation has led to environmental degradations. The dryness of a thousand-year Urmia Lake (a brinewater lake in Iran) is an example of environmental degradation that happened due to successive droughts and construction of dams on the basin of this lake. This study examines methods for the revival of Urmia Lake...

The Zerebar Lake is a shallow freshwater lake located in the northwestern Iran. The lake is surrounded by three human activities: agriculture, tourism and dam. The present study aimed to investigate (1) which human activity has the greatest impact on eutrophication of the Zerebar Lake (2) If phytoplankton communities, as the indicator, are correlated with the human activities. Water samples wer...
