fl.biology.usgs.gov — The African jewelfish (Hemichromis letourneuxi) has been established in canals surrounding the Miami area since the 1960s. With changes in water delivery to the park, the species has recently (2000) entered Everglades National Park and expanded its range westward through Big Cypress National Preserve. Simultaneously, African jewelfish from a More...

fl.biology.usgs.gov — The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is commonly used in aquaculture worldwide. Feral populations exist in many regions where individuals escape culture and establish in natural habitats. In Mississippi, Nile tilapia are established in at least three distinct localities (fig. 1): the lower Pascagoula and Escatawpa river drainages, and a More...

fl.biology.usgs.gov — Because the African jewelfish has a broad salinity tolerance, scientists tested how the species low-temperature tolerance varied at three salinities: freshwater (0 ppt), brackish (10 ppt) and marine (35 ppt) in the laboratory. A field experiment was then conducted to examine the survivorship of individuals when caged in several common aquatic More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — As anadromous juvenile salmonids migrate from freshwater rearing habitats to the ocean, they are vulnerable to a host of factors that affect their survival. Direct effects associated with dam passage (e.g., instantaneous mortality, injury, loss of equilibrium, etc.) and indirect effects (e.g., predation, disease, and physiological stress) More...
