This report describes Missouri River activities and results related to a channelized Missouri River creel survey conducted from 31 March through 12 October 2001. This is the second of a planned annual creel survey to be conducted on alternating sections of the channelized Missouri River to measure changes in recreational fishing activity, especially those changes due to large scale habitat restoration efforts. Future reports will contain additional analyses of these data. Anglers spent over 22,000 hours fishing the Missouri River from Camp Creek (rkm 883.5) to the Kansas state line (rkm 790.2) during the survey period. Effort peaked during the …


The Value Of Rockweed (Ascophylum Nodosum) As Habitat For Tidepool Fishes, Amy Marie Gullo Jan 2002

The Value Of Rockweed (Ascophylum Nodosum) As Habitat For Tidepool Fishes, Amy Marie Gullo

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Tidepool fishes are an interesting and commercially valuable guild of fishes that reside in tidepools at low tide. Tidepool fishes of the North Atlantic Coast reside in tidepools only during the late spring to Ml months, and are typically juveniles of subtidal adult species. Tidepool fishes on the Pacific Coast of North America have been studied extensively, but species of the North Atlantic Coast have rarely been studied. An important area of study is the use of different tidepool microhabitats by fishes, specifically the use of rockweed (AscophyZZum nodosum) fringe, which is present in many tidepools. Rockweed is an algal …


The Relationship Between Green Sea Urchin Spawning, Spring Phytoplankton Blooms, And The Winter-Spring Hydrography At Selected Sites In Maine, Lindsay C. N. Seward Jan 2002

The Relationship Between Green Sea Urchin Spawning, Spring Phytoplankton Blooms, And The Winter-Spring Hydrography At Selected Sites In Maine, Lindsay C. N. Seward

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The relationship between green sea urchin spawning, spring phytoplankton blooms, and hydrography were examined at multiple spatial scales during the winter-spring of 2000 at selected sites along the coast of Maine. To determine factors contributing to the variation observed in the timing of green sea urchin spawning, sea urchins, phytoplankton, and oceanographic variables were sampled biweekly at four sites in central Maine and three sites in eastern Maine. Water column properties and phytoplankton was intensively examined at sites in central Maine, while sites in eastern Maine were less well characterized. Analysis of gonad indices showed that spawning was protracted in …
