Effects of Landscape Characteristics on Water Quality and Fish Assemblages in the Tallapoosa River Basin, Alabama
(2022-10-14)
To maintain and improve water quality, there is an increasing need to understand
relationships between current land-use practices (e.g., agriculture, forested/silviculture,
and urban) and stream ecosystems. In this study, ...
Embryonic Developmental Patterns and Energy Expenditure Are Affected by Incubation Temperature in Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa)
(2022-10-14)
Recent research in birds has demonstrated that incubation temperature influences a suite of traits important for hatchling
development and survival. We explored a possible mechanism
for the effects on hatchling quality ...
Evaluation of dissolved carbon dioxide to stimulate emergence of red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Decapoda: Cambaridae) from infested ponds
(2024-01-25)
Invasive crayfish have adverse effects on habitats and native species. Control of invasive crayfish populations is a major challenge facing natural resource managers. This study evaluated the effectiveness and optimal ...
Evolution of the Auburn University fisheries program: genius in the Kingdom of Serendip
(2019-12-19)
This book is a history of the Auburn Universities Fisheries Program. It also focuses on two individuals, H. S. Swingle and E. V. Smith, faculty members in the A.P.I. College of Agriculture and the Alabama Agricultural ...
Fish Assemblages on Sand/gravel Bar Habitat in the Alabama River, Alabama
(2020-03-12)
The Alabama River drainage is a biologically diverse system containing over 180 native fishes and at least 33 endemics. Many studies have surveyed single species of conservation concern, such as the federally endangered ...
Fish Farming Research
(2018-02-26)
The purpose of this book is to assimilate and present some of the available information on the application of the scientific method to fish farming research. Emphasis is give to conducting research on the production of ...
An In-pond Raceway System Incorporating Removal of Fish Wastes
(2014-10-08)
An aquaculture system called ?in-pond raceway (IPR)? was studied for
channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) production. The raceway was a
rectangular-shaped box (4.9~ I.2 m x I.2 m high), built from treated
lumber and ...
Large effects of consumer offense on ecosystem structure and function
(2019-12-19)
Study of the role of within-species adaptation in ecological dynamics has focused largely on prey adaptations that reduce consumption risk (prey defense). Few, if any, studies have examined how consumer adaptations to ...
Life-history Aspects of the Rainbow Shiner, Notropis chrosomus (Teleostei: Cyprinidae), in Northern Georgia
(2022-10-14)
The life history of Notropis chrosomus (Rainbow Shiner) was investigated using 12 monthly collections from Moore Creek (Etowah River Drainage) at GA Highway 140 in Cherokee County, GA. Specimens were collected by electroshocking ...
Population Demographics of Hiodon tergisus (Mooneye) in the Lower Tallapoosa River
(2022-10-14)
We describe age structure, growth, and fecundity of Hiodon tergisus (Mooneye) from the lower Tallapoosa River, AL. Mooneye (N = 49, 214–316 mm total length, 79–284 g) were aged using otoliths, and a von Bertalanffy growth ...
Sexual Dimorphism in Growth of Freshwater Drum
(2022-10-14)
I examined sexual dimorphism in the long-lived Aplodinotus grunniens (freshwater drum) from five lakes and four rivers in Alabama. Using the Von Bertalanffy growth function combined with nonparametric statistics, I found ...

(2022-10-14)
Residence time, site fidelity and movements for red snapper Lutjanus campechanus
(Lutjanidae) were estimated from long-term telemetry monitoring (December 2005 to June 2010)
at 6 sites (1 natural and 5 artificial reefs) ...
