Using fish communities to assess streams in Romania: Initial development of an index of biotic integrity Using fish communities to assess streams in Romania: Initial development of an index of biotic integrity
Multimetric biotic indices increasingly are used to complement physicochemical data in assessments of stream quality. We initiated development of multimetric indices, based on fish communities, to assess biotic integrity of streams in two physiographic regions of central Romania. Unlike previous efforts to develop such indices for European streams, our metrics and scoring criteria were...

Designing mark-recapture studies to reduce effects of distance weighting on movement distance distributions of stream fishes Designing mark-recapture studies to reduce effects of distance weighting on movement distance distributions of stream fishes
Mark-recapture studies generate biased, or distance-weighted, movement data because short distances are sampled more frequently than long distances. Using models and field data, we determined how study design affects distance weighting and the movement distributions of stream fishes. We first modeled distance weighting as a function of recapture section length in an unbranching stream...

Development of a multimetric index for assessing the biological condition of the Ohio River Development of a multimetric index for assessing the biological condition of the Ohio River
The use of fish communities to assess environmental quality is common for streams, but a standard methodology for large rivers is as yet largely undeveloped. We developed an index to assess the condition of fish assemblages along 1,580 km of the Ohio River. Representative samples of fish assemblages were collected from 709 Ohio River reaches, including 318 "least-impacted" sites, from...

Demographic characteristics of American eel in the Potomac River drainage, Virginia Demographic characteristics of American eel in the Potomac River drainage, Virginia
Studies of the demographic characteristics of the American eel Anguilla rostrata over broad spatial scales are scarce. Eels in the Shenandoah River drainage and lower Potomac River tributaries of Virginia were sampled over 2 years in both inland and near-coastal areas to describe the demographic characteristics in each area and document drainagewide patterns. Eels from the inland...
