Performance of eDNA Filtration Methods for Monitoring Fish Diversity in a Hyper‐Tidal Estuary
This study evaluates four eDNA filtering methods, three manual filters (0.45, 1.2, and 5 μm) and a passive method, the metaprobe, across a salinity gradient in a hyper‐tidal estuarine ecosystem. Results show that the 0.45 μm filter detected the highest species richness (39 species), followed by the metaprobe (35 species), and the 1.2 μm (34 species ...

Cryogenic and Refrigerated Storage of Rainbow Smelt Osmerus mordax Spermatozoa
AbstractThe effects of extender composition, cryoprotectant, and freezing rate on post‐thaw rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax sperm motility were examined, and the fertilization capacity of fresh and post‐thaw sperm were compared. The highest post‐thaw motility (75%) was obtained when milt was diluted 1:3 with an extender containing 600 mM sucrose ...

Ventral target strength (TS) of smelt (Osmerus eperlanus) was measured using a bottom deployed Simrad EK60 200 kHz echosounder in the shallow lake Ijsselmeer (The Netherlands). Ventral TS values recorded (TS = 20 log10(L)–74.39) were lower but comparable

The occurrence of cysts of Glugea hertwigi, a microsporidian parasite, in Lake Erie rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) has been monitored since 1960 when it was first recorded. Annual sampling has shown that an increasing proportion (up to 87.5% in 1971) of

Variation in Ovary Size of Osmerus mordax (Mitchell), the Rainbow Smelt, in Lakes Erie and Ontario
Addressing three problems with respect to the reproductive effort of rainbow smelt, Osmerus mordax (mitchell), this study determines whether or not there is a significant inter-population difference in the gonadosomatic index or reproductive effort ...

The smelt Osmerus eperlanus in Scotland
The smelt Osmerus eperlanus (Linnaeus 1758) (Plate 3A, p. 65), or sparling asit is called in Scotland (and in northern England), is a small to medium-sizedfish whose adult size varies greatly according to habitat. The normal range inlength is 10 to 20 cm

Food webs in estuarine ecosystems serve as important biological indicators. The feeding ecology of four keystone fish species, pikeperch (Sander lucioperca L.), smelt (Osmerus eperlanus L.), ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernua L.) and flounder (Platichthys ...
