www.springerlink.com — This project is an evaluation of three potentially nonlethal alternatives to fillet sampling for the determination of mercury (Hg) concentrations in smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) to monitor mercury concentrations in smallmouth bass (micropterus dolomieu) from six sites in southern Missouri were captured by electrofishing. Blood samples More...

www.glsc.usgs.gov — In 2002, scientists from the Great Lakes Science Center assessed the health of the populations of preyfish for the biennial State of the Lakes Ecosystem Conference (SOLEC) to provide information to policy makers on the status of the lakes and future needs. Preyfish population is one of the 80 indicators used by SOLEC to determine the health of the More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — An entrainment study at Grand Coulee Dam indicated that 200,000 - 600,000 kokanee were entrained, primarily at the 3rd powerhouse, during a 40-month time period. Following the recommendations of the Independent Scientific Review Panel, research was initiated to investigate a strategy to reduce entrainment by using strobe lights to repel salmonids More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — Mercury contamination from historic gold mining operations is widespread in many rivers, lakes, and reservoirs on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada. A multidisciplinary investigation by USGS is attempting to better understand mercury dynamics and to identify hot spots within Camp Far West Reservoir in order to determine if remediation More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — Artificially maintained water levels within the lake and stresses placed upon the aquifer by well withdrawals facilitate movement of water from the lake into the local ground water system, potentially allowing contaminants to enter the aquifer from the lake. This raises national concern because similar lakeside settings exist throughout the United More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — Lake Natoma, an 8,760 acre-feet reservoir on the American River, is managed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) for multiple uses that include fishing and other water-based recreation. Preliminary results from 22 fish samples collected in Lake Natoma during August 2000 indicate that the mercury content may approach or exceed guidelines for More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — Bacterial kidney disease (BKD) caused by Renibacterium salmoninarum has been implicated as a significant factor in the 5-year decline of the chinook salmon populations in Lake Michigan that began during 1988. In 1999, researchers at the WFRC began a multi-year study in coordination with Great Lakes fishery biologists to examine the role of BKD in More...

www.usgs.gov — Nearly 40 percent of fish species in North American streams, rivers and lakes are now in jeopardy, according to the most detailed evaluation of the conservation status of freshwater fishes in the last 20 years. The 700 fishes now listed represent a staggering 92 percent increase over the 364 listed as "imperiled" in the previous 1989 study More...
