Probabalistic projections for recovery of the endangered Cui-ui Probabalistic projections for recovery of the endangered Cui-ui

The cui-ui Chamistes cujus, a lake sucker found in only Pyramid Lake, Nevada, is listed as endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, and a recovery plan has been formulated in an effort to save it. We used a population simulation model that incorporated environmental stochasticity in water availability to project the persistence of cui-ui over 200 years, Based on this approach...

Interaction between native and nonnative fish of the upper Muddy River, Nevada Interaction between native and nonnative fish of the upper Muddy River, Nevada

I investigated interactions between native and nonnative fishes in the upper Muddy River system to add insight into (1) the mechanism causing the decline of the Moapa dace Moapa coriacea after the introduction of the shortfin molly Poecilia mexicana, (2) the reason Moapa White River springfish Crenichthys bailevi moapaewere less affected by the introduction, and (3) the reason...

Spawning and rearing habitat use by white sturgeons in the Columbia River downstream from McNary Dam Spawning and rearing habitat use by white sturgeons in the Columbia River downstream from McNary Dam

Spawning and rearing habitats used by white sturgeons Acipenser transmontanuswere described from water temperature, depth, and velocity measurements and substrate types present at sites where eggs, larvae, young-of-the-year, and juveniles (ages 1–7) were collected. Spawning and egg incubation occurred in the swiftest water available (mean water column velocity, 0.8–2.8 m/s), which was...

Survival in pond water of four reoviruses isolated from aquatic animals Survival in pond water of four reoviruses isolated from aquatic animals

The viabilities of golden shiner virus (GSV), chum salmon virus (CSV), oyster reovirus 13P2 (13P2). and catfish reovirus (CRV) were compared following viruses incubation in pond water samples held at 4°. 20°, 25°, and 30°C for one month. At the three higher temperatures tested, viral infectivity was lost by day 15 for GSV, day 20 for CSV, and day 10 for CRV and 13P2. At 4°C. no...
