Physiological stress biomarkers reveal stocking density effects in late larval Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) [PDF]

Aquaculture, 2016
Abstract Suboptimal fish stocking densities in experimental systems may elicit stress responses that can affect experimental results. Fish species, age and size, water chemistry and flow, and physical characteristics of the experimental system (e.g., tank, cage) are among the parameters to be considered when determining stocking densities.

Assessments at multiple levels of biological organization allow for an integrative determination of physiological tolerances to turbidity in an endangered fish species. [PDF]

, 2016
Turbidity can influence trophic levels by altering species composition and can potentially affect fish feeding strategies and predator-prey interactions.

Ontogeny influences sensitivity to climate change stressors in an endangered fish. [PDF]

, 2014
Coastal ecosystems are among the most human-impacted habitats globally, and their management is often critically linked to recovery of declining native species.

Transcriptional flexibility during thermal challenge corresponds with expanded thermal tolerance in an invasive compared to native fish

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
Capacity to cope with warming temperatures is a key determining factor of species' persistence under global climate change. Many successful invasive species have heightened thermal tolerance relative to their native counterparts, which may provide ...

Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) Exhibit Wide Variation in Spawning Behavior: An Investigation of Substrate Type, Diel Timing, and Participants [PDF]

Estuaries and Coasts, 2021
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 ...

MaxTemp: A Method to Maximise Precision of the Temporal Method for Estimating N_e in Genetic Monitoring Programs. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT We introduce a new software program, MaxTemp, that increases precision of the temporal method for estimating effective population size (Ne) in genetic monitoring programs, which are increasingly used to systematically track changes in global biodiversity.

Sublethal salinity stress contributes to habitat limitation in an endangered estuarine fish. [PDF]

, 2016
As global change alters multiple environmental conditions, predicting species' responses can be challenging without understanding how each environmental factor influences organismal performance.

Identifying Environmental Factors Limiting Recovery of an Imperiled Estuarine Fish

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Correctly identifying the environmental factors that limit population growth and recovery of imperiled species is an essential element of any targeted conservation program.

Consequences of temperature and temperature variability on swimming activity, group structure, and predation of endangered delta smelt [PDF]

, 2019
The effects of water temperature on individual and group movement behaviour in prey fish can affect ecological interactions such as competition and predation, but how variability in temperature influence fish behaviour is less understood.

Efficacy of a sensory deterrent and pipe modifications in decreasing entrainment of juvenile green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris) at unscreened water diversions. [PDF]

, 2014
Water projects designed to extract fresh water for local urban, industrial and agricultural use throughout rivers and estuaries worldwide have contributed to the fragmentation and degradation of suitable habitat for native fishes.
