ABSTRACT Various anthropogenic disturbances affect the succession of aquatic habitats along dendritic river networks. Bioindicator taxa, such as fish, can be used to assess the effects of these disturbances on habitat quality. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding offers a novel approach to complement traditional sampling and analysis of bioindicator ...

Analyzing the shift to piscivory in age-0 largemouth bass using stable isotopes [PDF]
2nd place in the Denman ForumMany animals undergo diet shifts during early life as ability to capture larger prey increases with growth. For largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), this is characterized by a diet transition from zooplankton to fish.

Prevalence and Implications of “Must‐Kill” Angling Regulations for the Management of Invasive Fishes
ABSTRACT Freshwater biodiversity is increasingly threatened by invasive species, which can disrupt native fish populations and the fisheries they support. Must‐kill regulations, which prohibit the live release of invasive fish caught by recreational anglers, are a management strategy that can be implemented to limit the negative effects of invasive ...

Predicting the shift of invasive species distribution in response to climate change is essential for ecological risk assessment. In this study, the distribution of invasive largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) was predicted from 2016 to 2085 in the ...

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

ABSTRACT Agricultural development is a global wide‐spread alteration to natural landscapes that can impact stream fish assemblages at multiple scales. Knowing how environmental variables affect stream fish diversity and abundance is important for the conservation and management of stream fish assemblages.

Climate-related shifts in hatch timing could mean that age-0 largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides in north temperate lakes reach larger sizes and experience higher survival, which may contribute to increased prevalence of this species in many lakes ...

Population Characteristics of Largemouth Bass Associated with Changes in Abundance of Submersed Aquatic Vegetation in Lake Seminole, Georgia [PDF]
Population characteristics of largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides L.) including growth, body condition (relative weight), survival, and egg production were examined in relation to abundance of submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV) coverage ...

Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya
ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.
