Growth and Morphology of a Synthetic Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)-Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) Backcross Breed and the Hybrid Between the Backcross Female and Blue Catfish Male
(2020-05-13)
The F1 hybrid between a channel catfish female (Ictalurus punctatus) × a blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) outperforms both parental species in commercial environments for numerous traits. However, reproductive isolation ...
A habitat risk assessment and breeding site projection for Slackwater Darter (Etheostoma boschungi) in Limestone Creek
(2017-04-16)
Catalysts for species decline are difficult to identify and are rarely single. The use of predictive models that incorporate multiple factors have proven useful in recognizing major drivers of species declines in multiple ...
Habitat Use by Telemetered Alabama Shad during the Spawning Migration in the Lower Flint River, Georgia
(2016-07-20)
The Alabama Shad Alosa alabamae is an anadromous fish which lives in the northern Gulf of Mexico and ascends freshwater rivers in during springtime to spawn. Populations have experienced substantial range-wide declines ...
Habitat Use of Larval and Juvenile Cape Fear shiners (Notropis mekistocholas)
(2008-12-15)
The factors responsible for imperilment of freshwater fishes are diverse, but most
can be categorized as some form of habitat loss or alteration. Understanding effects of
various forms of habitat alteration on single ...
Hatchery, Nursery, Nutrition and Stock Evaluation of Redclaw Crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus
(2009-08-03)
The redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) aquaculture industry has developed rapidly in tropical and subtropical regions of the world during the last decade. Important advances have been made; however, technology for ...
Health of Fish Impinged on Cooling-Water Intake Screens
(2007-05-15)
Fish health evaluations were made between impinged and reference fish collected at and in the vicinity of Plant Barry (Mobile River, Mobile County, Alabama) from April 19, 2005, until May 19, 2005, and again from September ...
Hearing evolution across the air-water interface: lessons from comparative audiometry in turtles and salamanders
(2016-12-12)
The physical differences between water and air present unique challenges to organisms living in both environments, including challenges to the sense organs. In the auditory system, acoustic impedance mismatch is a challenge ...
