Salinity Tolerance of Hemichromis letourneuxi

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...

Understanding Everglades Invaders: Ecophysiology of the African Jewelfish (Hemichromis letourneuxi)

A dozen species of non-indigenous fishes have colonized the wetlands of south Florida. Information relating to their biology, ecology, and environmental tolerances has been accumulating, but data gaps remain for several common species. These data are needed to understand and model the ultimate range expansion, habitat occupation and dynamics of More...

Hypoxia Tolerance of Hemichromis letourneuxi

A dozen species of non-indigenous fishes have colonized the wetlands of south Florida. Although some of these species continue to spread geographically, others remain local. Data are needed to understand and model the ultimate range expansion, habitat occupation and dynamics of non-native fishes, and are particularly important for risk More...

Ecological Assessment of Seleniferous Agricultural Drainwater on Fish Inhabiting the Grassland Water District and Adjacent Reaches of the San Joaquin River

Aquatic environments have been highly altered in California's Central Valley due to changes in hydrology caused by human development. The purpose of this study is to better understand the extent to which the Grassland Bypass Project (GBP) in the Central Valley of California has altered environmental conditions for fishes in Salt and Mud sloughs More...
