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

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.

A pilot study of the performance of captive‐reared delta smelt Hypomesus transpacificus in a semi‐natural environment [PDF]

Journal of Fish Biology, 2019
AbstractA captive breeding programme was developed in 2008 for delta smelt Hypomesus transpacificus in reaction to dramatic population decline over several decades. We took 526 sub‐adult captive‐reared delta smelt and cultured them for 200 days without providing artificial food or water quality management to assess their performance once released in ...

Highly and Lowly Domesticated Endangered Fish From a Conservation Hatchery Diverge in Their Thermal Physiology, Transcriptome, and Methylome [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Conservation hatcheries aim to produce fish for supplementation of wild populations, but hatchery environments may drive phenotypic divergence from wild fish. These diverged traits may have reduced fitness in the wild, which could compromise wild population sustainability and evolutionary potential, such as in response to climate change. Delta

Comparative and Functional Analysis of Exosomal microRNAs During Semelparous Reproduction in Ayu Fish (<i>Plecoglossus altivelis</i>). [PDF]

J Extracell Biol
ABSTRACT As a life history strategy, some semelparous organisms, such as the ayu fish (Plecoglossus altivelis), reproduce only once in their lifetime and then die. They invest heavily in their single reproductive event, producing many offspring. However, the regulatory mechanisms that trigger mortality after reproduction are not well understood ...

Floodplain inundation and lateral connectivity promote productivity in a managed river ecosystem. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract River‐floodplain ecosystems near urban centers are heavily engineered for flood protection and water delivery, which has led to a loss of lateral hydrologic connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. This study has two objectives: (1) Does increased lateral connectivity resulting from floodplain inundation increase chlorophyll a ...

Space‐for‐time is not necessarily a substitution when monitoring the distribution of pelagic fishes in the San Francisco Bay‐Delta [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Occupancy models are often used to analyze long‐term monitoring data to better understand how and why species redistribute across dynamic landscapes while accounting for incomplete capture.

Loss of plasticity in maturation timing after ten years of captive spawning in a delta smelt conservation hatchery [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications, 2023
Adaptation to captivity in spawning programs can lead to unintentional consequences, such as domestication that results in reduced fitness in the wild.

Exposure to permethrin or chlorpyrifos causes differential dose- and time-dependent behavioral effects at early larval stages of an endangered teleost species [PDF]

Endangered Species Research, 2021
Pyrethroid and organophosphate pesticides are two of the most commonly used classes of insecticide worldwide. At sublethal concentrations, permethrin (a pyrethroid) and chlorpyrifos (an organophosphate) impact behavior in model fish species.

Does tidal marsh restoration lead to the recovery of trophic pathways that support estuarine fishes? [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Evaluation of tidal marsh restoration success is typically based on the recovery of habitat size and target species. However, food‐web structure may provide valuable insight into ecosystem functioning trajectories. Here, we studied restored tidal marshes of different ages (new, young, old; spanning 1–150 years) in comparison with nearby ...

Age and repeated collection interval effects on sperm motility in the endangered delta smelt Hypomesus transpacificus

Endangered Species Research
Understanding the reproductive dynamics of endangered species is crucial for effective conservation strategies. This study examines the impact of age and repeated collection interval on sperm motility in the Critically Endangered delta smelt Hypomesus ...
