An intergeneric hybrid of a native minnow, the golden shiner, and an exotic minnow, the rudd An intergeneric hybrid of a native minnow, the golden shiner, and an exotic minnow, the rudd
The hybrid golden shiner Notemigonus crysoleucas × rudd Scardinius erythrophthalmus is the first known nonsalmonid, intergeneric hybrid of an exotic species and a North American native species. The cross is also the first valid record of a viable hybrid involving the native golden shiner. Meristic and mensural characters of 30 artificially produced hybrids of male golden shiners and...

Evaluation of a mark-recapture method for estimating mortality and migration rates of stratified populations Evaluation of a mark-recapture method for estimating mortality and migration rates of stratified populations
We simulated mark–recapture experiments to evaluate a method for estimating fishing mortality and migration rates of populations stratified at release and recovery. When fish released in two or more strata were recovered from different recapture strata in nearly the same proportions, conditional recapture probabilities were estimated outside the [0, 1] interval. The maximum likelihood...

Coastal mapping programs at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wetlands Research Center Coastal mapping programs at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wetlands Research Center
Over the past 10 years, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) National Wetlands Research Center (center; formerly the National Coastal Ecosystems Team) has been continuously involved in the production of maps for use by coastal decision makers. The types of maps produced by the center have been national, regional, or local in scope depending on user needs. Map scales have ranged...

Food habits of wintering canvasbacks in Louisiana Food habits of wintering canvasbacks in Louisiana
We studied the food habits of canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) at Catahoula Lake (inland) and the Mississippi River Delta (coastal), Louisiana, from November 1987 to February 1988. Plant foods comprised >97 aggregate percent dry mass of the canvasback diet. The proportion of plant material eaten did not vary with sex, age, or month, or differ between study sites or nocturnal and diurnal

Diurnal time-activity budgets of wintering canvasbacks in Louisiana Diurnal time-activity budgets of wintering canvasbacks in Louisiana
We determined diurnal time-activity budgets of Canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) at Catahoula Lake and at the Mississippi River Delta, Louisiana, from December 1987 to March 1988. Canvasback feeding, resting, locomotory, and comfort activities varied by month and location with a month-location interaction. Moreover, the percentage of time spent feeding varied by sex with a month-sex...
