Temperature and salinity preferences of endangered Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus, Actinopterygii, Osmeridae)

Scientific Reports, 2022
Temperature and salinity often define the distributions of aquatic organisms. This is at least partially true for Delta Smelt, an imperiled species endemic to the upper San Francisco Estuary.

Size, fecundity and condition factor changes in endangered delta smelt Hypomesus transpacificus over 10 generations in captivity

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, 2023
The once abundant delta smelt Hypomesus transpacificus is now on the verge of extinction. At the UC Davis Fish Conservation and Culture Laboratory, a refuge population has been maintained since 2008 as a safeguard against extinction and to breed and ...

The transcriptome-wide effects of exposure to a pyrethroid pesticide on the Critically Endangered delta smelt Hypomesus transpacificus

Endangered Species Research, 2015
Research into the effects of contaminants on fishes is often conducted on well-studied model test species, whose responses may be different than those of endangered species.

Reproductive strategy of Delta Smelt Hypomesus transpacificus and impacts of drought on reproductive performance.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Understanding reproductive biology and performance of fish is essential to formulate effective conservation and management programs. Here, we studied reproductive strategies of female Delta Smelt Hypomesus transpacificus, an endangered fish species in ...

Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly of Protosalanx chinensis and Response to Air Exposure Stress

Biology, 2023
Protosalanx chinensis is a suitable particular species for genetic studies on nearly scaleless skin, transparency and high sensitivity to hypoxia stress. Here, we generated a high-quality chromosome-level de novo assembly of P. chinensis.

Vital dye immersion evaluations with juvenile delta smelt

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, 2023
Immersion‐based vital dyes were tested as a marking method for use in larval smelt mark–recapture studies. We assessed five fluorescent dyes as a mark for juvenile osmerids: 4‐Di‐1‐ASP, BODIPY FL C12, BODIPY 505/515, Nile red, and calcein.

Captive-reared Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) exhibit high survival in natural conditions using in situ enclosures.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Conservation of endangered fishes commonly includes captive breeding, applied research, and management. Since 1996, a captive breeding program has existed for the federally threatened and California endangered Delta Smelt Hypomesus transpacificus, an ...

Salinity Changes the Dynamics of Pyrethroid Toxicity in Terms of Behavioral Effects on Newly Hatched Delta Smelt Larvae

Toxics, 2021
Salinity can interact with organic compounds and modulate their toxicity. Studies have shown that the fraction of pyrethroid insecticides in the aqueous phase increases with increasing salinity, potentially increasing the risk of exposure for aquatic ...

Visual, spectral, and microchemical quantification of crystalline anomalies in otoliths of wild and cultured delta smelt

Scientific Reports, 2022
Developmental abnormalities in otoliths can impact growth and survival in teleost fishes. Here, we quantified the frequency and severity of developmental anomalies in otoliths of delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), a critically endangered estuarine ...

Delta Smelt stress responses during fish salvage at the John E. Skinner Delta Fish Protective Facility, California

California Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2023
The John E. Skinner Delta Fish Protective Facility (Skinner Fish Facility) diverts entrained fish from the State Water Project’s pumping facilities in the southern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (the Delta) and transports them via tanker trucks away from ...
