Abstract

Objective: Sterile fish are used for multiple purposes, including enhancing sport fisheries where reproduction is not wanted. In some regions with few native sport fish, but strong angler desire for nonnative piscivorous species, establishing new fisheries using sterile predators is being explored...

Abstract

Mercury (Hg) is a concerning contaminant due to its widespread distribution and tendency to accumulate to harmful concentrations in biota. We used a machine learning approach called random forest (RF) to test for different predictors of Hg concentrations in three species of Colorado reservoir sport ...

Abstract

Given the importance of reservoir fisheries and the investments made by fisheries management agencies to create and maintain these fisheries, the loss of reservoir-stocked fish through downstream emigration warrants action to be taken to understand and prevent it. The factors driving emigration of...

Abstract

Mercury (Hg) bioaccumulation in aquatic food webs has created a human health concern for anglers who consume fish. Variability in sport fish Hg concentration adds to the uncertainty of the amount of fish an angler can safely consume, so predicting where variability arises is useful. We evaluated...

Abstract

Bioaccumulation of mercury in sport fish is a complex process that varies in space and time. Both large-scale climatic as well as fine-scale environmental factors are drivers of these space-time variations. In this study, we avail a long-running monitoring program from Ontario, Canada to better...

Abstract

In the mid-2000s a survey was conducted to evaluate fish mercury in lakes across New York State. Approximately 10 years later a second survey examining adult sportfish from 103 lakes and reservoirs was conducted to evaluate the response of fish mercury to recent declines in US mercury emissions. Of ...

Abstract

On June 20, 2021, the Northern Highland Fishery Research Area (NHFRA) celebrated its 75th anniversary of continuous fisheries population monitoring and compulsory angler creel census on five lakes in northern Wisconsin. In 1946, five lakes were designated as experimental fisheries research lakes...

Abstract

Saugeye (female Walleye Sander vitreus × male Sauger S. canadensis) are stocked annually into Ohio reservoirs to maintain popular recreational fisheries. The growth and recruitment of stocked saugeye are highly variable among years and reservoirs, but the causes of this variability are not well...

Abstract

We compared relative abundances, average weights, and growth rates of 6 game fish species before and after the 1999-2001 partial dredging of Lake Winona, a eutrophic, urban lake in Minnesota, to determine whether lake dredging sustainably changed fish population structure to the benefit of anglers. ...

Abstract

Serological assays were conducted for anti-viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) antibodies in four species of fish in Wisconsin (Bluegill Lepomis macrochirus, Brown Trout Salmo trutta, Northern Pike Esox lucius, and Walleye Sander vitreus) to examine spatial and temporal distributions of...
