Abstract Blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus), channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris) are popular sport fishes throughout North America, and are therefore intensively managed by some natural resource agencies.

Abstract Estuaries represent critical aquatic habitat that connects surface water distributed between Earth’s landmasses and oceans. They are dynamic transitional ecosystems, which provide important habitat for fishes and other aquatic organisms. Effective conservation of species inhabiting estuaries requires knowledge of the habitat features that ...

Are Vertebrates Still Needed in Routine Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing for Oil and Gas Discharges?
Historical whole effluent toxicity (WET) data collected for effluent discharge permits from oil and gas facilities were compiled into a database and analyzed. The objective was to explore the relative sensitivities of vertebrate (fish) and invertebrate test organisms in WET tests and to understand performance of oil and gas effluent discharges over ...

Microplastics in freshwater fishes: Occurrence, impacts and future perspectives
Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are small, plastic particles of various shapes, sizes and polymers. Although well studied in marine systems, their roles and importance in freshwater environments remain uncertain. Nevertheless, the restricted ranges and variable traits of freshwater fishes result in their communities being important receptors and strong ...

Cytonuclear Patterns of Genetic Diversity and the Intricate Evolutionary History of the Inland Silverside (Menidia beryllina) [PDF]
DNA sequence variation at a mitochondrial and a nuclear intron locus was surveyed within and among multiple populations of the inland silverside (Menidia beryllina) from the southeastern United States and revealed discordant phylogenetic patterns but similar patterns of population genetic variation across nuclear and mitochondrial loci.

Trophic transfer, bioaccumulation and transcriptomic effects of permethrin in inland silversides, Menidia beryllina, under future climate scenarios [PDF]
Global climate change (GCC) significantly affects aquatic ecosystems. Continual use of pyrethroid insecticides results in contamination of these ecosystems and concurrent GCC raises the potential for synergistic effects. Resistance to pyrethroids has been documented in Hyalella azteca, a common epibenthic amphipod and model organism.

Spatial, diel, and seasonal changes in the fish community structure of a Mexican tropical estuary
To extend our knowledge about spatial and temporal variations in the structure of estuarine fish communities, diel samplings (collections every 2 h) were carried out every two months over a one-year period in two different habitats (vegetated and ...

Changes in thyroid status of Menidia beryllina exposed to the antifouling booster irgarol: Impacts of temperature and salinity [PDF]
The triazine-based herbicide irgarol is widely used in antifouling systems as an algicide and has been detected recently in multiple coastal environments. Studies evaluating sub-lethal responses of fish following exposure to irgarol are limited. Moreover, impacts of climate change on fish endocrinology may also contribute to the sublethal toxicity of ...
