Improving spine‐based age estimation in centrarchid fishes using otolith‐derived training sets

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Nonlethal age determination is a priority in fish biology contexts where sacrifice is restricted, but estimates derived from nonlethally attainable structures tend to suffer from poor precision and accuracy relative to necessarily lethal, otolith‐derived estimates.

Food Intake of the Largemouth Bass

Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1974
Abstract During 18 months of electrofishing a sample of 991 adult largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) was taken from Crab Orchard Lake. The stomach contents were removed in the field with a gastroscope. Gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum) constituted the principal forage fish. Approximately 50% of the bass collected had empty stomachs.

The caspase gene family in Micropterus salmoides: genome-wide characterization, bioinformatics, and expression profiling analysis

BMC Genomics
Background Apoptosis, a programmed cell death process mediated by caspases, is crucial for immunity and development. Caspases are categorized into initiator and effector types, regulating apoptosis via intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, and are also ...

Genetic and Pathogenic Characterization of an Iridovirus from the Cultured Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides

Fishes
The largemouth bass is a freshwater aquacultured fish species of great economic importance in China. With the rapid development of aquaculture industry and the increase in the aquaculture density of the fish, various infectious pathogens, including ...

Liver Injury and Metabolic Dysregulation in Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides) after Ammonia Exposure

Metabolites, 2023
Elevated environmental ammonia leads to respiratory disorders and metabolic dysfunction in most fish species, and the majority of research has concentrated on fish behavior and gill function. Prior studies have rarely shown the molecular mechanism of the

Chronic thermal stress affects growth, liver morphology and molecular responses but allows recovery at optimal temperature in juvenile zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate‐driven aquatic heatwaves pose an increasing threat to fish populations by inducing prolonged thermal stress. However, the resilience of teleosts to chronic heat exposure and their capacity for recovery remains poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of chronic high‐temperature exposure on juvenile zebrafish (Danio rerio).

PCR method for detection of largemouth bass virus [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2003
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed for largemouth bass virus (LMBV). This iridovirus can cause a lethal disease of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides, but also subclinically infects largemouth bass and other species of fishes. Oligonucleotide primers were designed to specifically amplify the major capsid protein gene of LMBV. The

Molecular cloning, characterization, and expression analyses of immunoglobulin tau heavy chain (IgT) in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides)

Aquaculture Reports, 2022
Immunoglobulins (Igs) first appeared in jawless fish, which are humoral mediators playing a vital function in the adaptive immunity to protect the teleosts from various pathogens.

Take my breath away: Defining the oxygen saturation threshold for fish cortisol stress response

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human activities are affecting the number, size and severity of hypoxic zones in aquatic ecosystems. As oxygen is one of the most important abiotic factors affecting fish biology, exposure to low levels of dissolved oxygen may lead to a reduction in fitness.

Fishing for Florida Bass in West Virginia: Genomic Evaluation of Florida Bass Presence and Establishing Baselines of Genetic Structure and Diversity for Native Largemouth Bass

Biology
Florida bass (Micropterus salmoides) and largemouth bass (Micropterus nigricans) are iconic sport fish that hybridize readily, influencing fishery management practices. While the Florida bass has been introduced to various U.S.
