Fish life history trends indicate increasing flow stochasticity in an unregulated river

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
Life history theory provides a framework to understand environmental change based on species traits that capitalize on stable, predictable, or stochastic environmental conditions. We evaluated life history strategies and temporal trends in abundance from

Reproductive cycle of smallmouth bass in Lake Akimoto

open access: yesNIPPON SUISAN GAKKAISHI, 2004
福島県秋元湖に生息するコクチバスの生殖腺周期を調査した。雄では4~7月と9~12月において精子又は精細胞がみられたが, GSI の低い8月には精母細胞が多く観察された。雌では4~6月と10~12月において周辺仁期と卵黄球期の卵母細胞がみられ, GSI の低い7~9月には卵黄球期の卵母細胞の割合が減少した。testosteroneと17,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-oneの血中量は, 雌雄共に5月にピークを示した。本種は春から初夏にかけてが主な繁殖期であるが, 秋以降も一定の成熟度を保つことがわかった。

Historical Records of Tumours in New Zealand Marine Fishes

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 2, June 2026.
Tumours were first described in New Zealand marine fishes in 1982 but those early records have been difficult to access and subsequently few tumours have been collected and little has been published. This review updates records of identified tumours from teleosts in the New Zealand marine environment and may encourage more work to identify background ...

Local Angler Knowledge Reveals Declines in Fishing Quality for Black Bass in Lakes of Eastern Ontario

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 568-590, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Local ecological knowledge can be useful to assess data‐limited fisheries such as the Ontario Black Bass (Micropterus spp.) recreational fishery. We surveyed local anglers using the Life History Calendar approach to determine if there were perceived changes in fishing quality for Black Bass in eastern Ontario across different time periods. For

Sexual and Seasonal Variations of Mercury in Smallmouth Bass

open access: yesJournal of Freshwater Ecology, 2007
ABSTRACT We assessed sexual and seasonal variations of total mercury in the muscle tissue of smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) in the South Fork of the Shenandoah River, Virginia. The average concentration of total mercury in the muscle tissue of bass sampled was 0.79 μg/g wet weight and ranged from 0.30 to 1.38 μg/g.
