Feeding Habit of Pond Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus nipponensis) and Its Impact on the Zooplankton Community in Lake Suwa, Japan

open access: yesJournal of Freshwater Ecology, 2005
ABSTRACT We examined the feeding habit of pond smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus nipponesis) and its impact on the zooplankton community in Lake Suwa, Japan, from May to December 2001. Stomach contents were analyzed, and prey importance and the prey selectivity index were estimated from the stomach contents of fish and prey density in the lake.

Revisiting Assumptions that Underlie Estimates of Proportional Entrainment of Delta Smelt by State and Federal Water Diversions from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta

open access: yesSan Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2011
The delta smelt is a small, endemic fish that resides in the upper San Francisco Estuary. They are listed under state and federal Endangered Species Acts. Since 2002, their abundance has been at record low levels.
