Development and Improvement of Habitat Suitability Criteria for Instream Habitat Assessments Conducted in Support of Environmental Flows in Florida

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Florida's regulatory framework requires the establishment of minimum flows to protect aquatic ecosystems and water resources from significant harm. One of the primary methods used to evaluate significant harm is assessment of instream habitat, which relies on Habitat Suitability Criteria (HSC) curves that relate flow regimes and habitat ...

Prey group cohesion mediates the outcome of predator–prey interactions under artificial lighting

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The highest rates of piscivorous predation in the field have been recorded during crepuscular light levels associated with sunrise and sunset or artificial lighting at night (ALAN).

Largemouth bass ranavirus: Current status and research progression

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
Largemouth bass ranavirus (LMBV) belongs to the Ranavirus genus of the Iridoviridae family and can infect numerous species of Percidae, such as largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) and bluegill (Lepomis ...

Biological invasions disrupt the relationship between size spectrum and trophic interactions in freshwater fish communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study shows that non‐native species alter the relationship between the size‐spectrum slope and the predator–prey mass ratio (PPMR) in freshwater fish communities by occupying distinct trophic niches. Abstract The size spectrum, which describes the relationship between abundance (or biomass) and body size, is an ataxic approach that can provide ...

Distribution pattern prediction of an invasive alien species largemouth bass using a maximum entropy model (MaxEnt) in the Korean peninsula

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2018
Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) is one of the world’s most notorious fish species, rapidly invaded in the aquatic ecosystems because of high fecundity and recruitment rate across the world, including South Korea, and is a major threat to native ...

Pathological characterization and cause of a novel liver disease in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides)

Aquaculture Reports, 2022
With the rapid development of intensive aquaculture in recent years, liver disease of largemouth bass has been increasingly prominent both in China and even around the world.

Ecological scale mediates nonlinear relationships of animal nutrient excretion with dissolved organic matter

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that nutrient excretion by vertebrates and invertebrates varies nonlinearly with dissolved organic matter concentration and composition and by taxonomic rank, with stronger patterns at the individual compared to the community level. Our findings highlight the importance of examining animal‐mediated nutrient cycling across taxa and ecological ...

Evaluation of the effects of Keratinase-treated feather meal as a replacement for fishmeal on growth performance, liver function, and intestinal health in juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides)

Aquaculture Reports
The enzymatic hydrolysis method was considered highly effective in hydrolyzing indigestible feathers into digestible proteins, however the practice of feather meal remained limited in aquafeed. Here, we evaluated the effects of hydrolyzed feather meal by

Inhibitory Effect of Low Temperature on Gonad Development and Growth of Out-of-Season Largemouth Bass Broodstock [PDF]

Progress in Fishery Sciences
To explore the effects of low temperature on the gonadal development and growth performance of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), 6001-year-old largemouth bass with an average weight of (365.2±28.8) g and gonadal development stage Ⅲ were randomly ...

Does Survey Angling CPUE Reflect Population Density of Northern Pike (Esox lucius) in Small Boreal Lakes?

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Knowing the relationship between catch per unit effort (CPUE) and population density is crucial for the management of recreational fisheries. We conducted standardized angling for pike in 16 lakes (3.4–22.1 ha) to test whether lure type, color, and pike density affect CPUE and the size of captured fish.
