Vital dye immersion evaluations with juvenile delta smelt
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.

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 ...

For many imperiled species, comparisons between wild and cultured populations are invaluable for informing conservation measures, though opportunities to do so may be rare. In this study, we asked whether spawning between and among wild and cultured Delta Smelt varies in terms of behavior or resulting egg fertilization success.

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 ...

Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) Exhibit Wide Variation in Spawning Behavior: An Investigation of Substrate Type, Diel Timing, and Participants [PDF]
AbstractStudies of cultured populations can be invaluable to the conservation of imperiled species for which little is known and whose very low abundance in the wild can preclude studies with robust sample sizes. For example, in endangered delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), conservation measures developed to mitigate population decline are ...

Experimental validation of otolith-based age and growth reconstructions across multiple life stages of a critically endangered estuarine fish [PDF]
Background The application of otolith-based tools to inform the management and conservation of fishes first requires taxon- and stage-specific validation.
