Dam removal increases American eel abundance in distant headwater streams Dam removal increases American eel abundance in distant headwater streams
American eel Anguilla rostrata abundances have undergone significant declines over the last 50 years, and migration barriers have been recognized as a contributing cause. We evaluated eel abundances in headwater streams of Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, to compare sites before and after the removal of a large downstream dam in 2004 (Embrey Dam, Rappahannock River). Eel abundances in...

Pacific lamprey artificial propogation and rearing investigations: Rocky Reach Lamprey Management Plan Pacific lamprey artificial propogation and rearing investigations: Rocky Reach Lamprey Management Plan
The impetus for developing this document is through implementing the Rocky Reach Pacific Lamprey Management Plan (PLMP), a component of the Rocky Reach Comprehensive Settlement Agreement, both of which are discussed more thoroughly in Section 1.2. The ultimate goal of the PLMP is to achieve No Net Impact (NNI) to Pacific lamprey of ongoing operations of the Rocky Reach Hydroelectric...

Wildlife conservation and solar energy development in the Desert Southwest, United States Wildlife conservation and solar energy development in the Desert Southwest, United States
Large areas of public land are currently being permitted or evaluated for utility-scale solar energy development (USSED) in the southwestern United States, including areas with high biodiversity and protected species. However, peer-reviewed studies of the effects of USSED on wildlife are lacking. The potential effects of the construction and the eventual decommissioning of solar energy...

Balancing energy development and conservation: A method utilizing species distribution models Balancing energy development and conservation: A method utilizing species distribution models
Alternative energy development is increasing, potentially leading to negative impacts on wildlife populations already stressed by other factors. Resource managers require a scientifically based methodology to balance energy development and species conservation, so we investigated modeling habitat suitability using Maximum Entropy to develop maps that could be used with other information...

Successful aquatic animal disease emergency programmes Successful aquatic animal disease emergency programmes
The authors provide examples of emergency programmes which have been successful in eradicating or controlling certain diseases of aquatic animals. The paper is divided into four parts. The first part describes the initial isolation of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) virus in North America in the autumn of 1988 from feral adult chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and coho salmon (O...

Response of salmonid fish to artificial infection with chum salmon virus Response of salmonid fish to artificial infection with chum salmon virus
In the fall of 1978, a reovirus was isolated from normal-appearing adult chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) returning to the Tokushibetsu Hatchery in Hokkaido, Japan (Winton et al 1981). The chum salmon virus (CSW) was recovered in the chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) embryo cell line (CHSE-214) where it replicated at 15-20 C, producing foci of syncytia in the monolayer. Electron...
