This report reflects the number and boundary delineations of earlier work done by the Minnesota River Assessment Project (MRAP), in which the Minnesota River Basin was divided into thirteen major watersheds. The majority of these watersheds contain the drainage area of only one of the Minnesota River's major tributaries, while the others contain a given reach of the Minnesota River as well as t...

Abstract This study evaluated fish beta diversity in six headwater creeks located the area affected by largest ornamental aquaculture center implemented Minas Gerais State, southeastern Brazil. We sampled assemblages 2017 and 2018 to investigate changes assemblage structure (species richness diversity), comparing these data with historic species pool. recorded 60 species, of which 16 were nativ...

In general, water cannot be economically pumped through raceways; it must flow through them by gravity. The need for large volumes of good quality water is the principal reason raceways have been limited to sites with large springs. Most raceway culture in the U.S. is with coldwater species such as trout and is based around locations with high volume, cold springs, or creeks. A few raceway syst...

and wetlands, the star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata) is one of the most distinctive mammals anywhere on Earth. Extensively distributed throughout eastern Canada and northeastern USA, star-nosed moles are reported to inhabit subarctic regions as far north as the fifty-fifth parallel (Peterson and Yates, 1980). Active year-round, C. cristata is chronically exposed to low ambient temperatures th...

The spatial distribution patterns of salt marsh plant communities and their biomass provide useful information for monitoring the stability productivity coastal ecosystems in space time. However, vegetation its aboveground (AGB) a remain unclear. This study mapped distributions AGB based on image LiDAR data acquired by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) Yangtze River Estuary. differences structur...

Microplastic pollution has been recognized as a global threat in marine environments and danger to prey, predators humans. Yet there have limited studies the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) along Kenyan coast making it difficult estimate extent of such pollution. This is first study on microplastics (MPs) surface waters within creeks (Tudor, Port-Reitz Mida creeks) Kenya. Sampling was done January/ ...
