Effects Of Channelization On Fish Populations Of The Cache River And Bayou Deview, Morris Mauney, George L. Harp
Effects Of Channelization On Fish Populations Of The Cache River And Bayou Deview, Morris Mauney, George L. Harp
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
This study was designed to better understand the possible effects of channelization by comparing natural and previously channelized sections of the Cache River and Bayou DeView. Forty-five fish species were collected in natural reaches, but only 24 species were collected in channelized reaches. Cyprinus carpio and Dorosoma cepedianum constituted 40 and 20 percent of the total fish biomass in channelized reaches, respectively, but only 22 and 2 percent of the total biomass in natural reaches. The mean weight of total fishes and game fishes only per surface ha in natural sections were 276 and 46 kg, respectively, but these values …
Distributional Survey Of The Fishes Of Ten Mile Creek In Southeastern Arkansas, Carl D. Jeffers, Edmond J. Bacon Jr.
Distributional Survey Of The Fishes Of Ten Mile Creek In Southeastern Arkansas, Carl D. Jeffers, Edmond J. Bacon Jr.
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
A survey of the fishes of Ten Mile Creek was conducted during 1976 to 1979. The ichthyofauna of Ten Mile Creek is typical of lowland drainage systems in southeastern Arkansas. Fifty-three species representing 13 families and 23 genera were collected. Etheostoma parvipinne was locally abundant in the headwaters, and other vulnerable or rare species included Notropls maculatus, Fundulus notti, Fundulus chrysotus, Erimyzon sucetta, Moxostoma poecilurum, and Lepomis punctatus. Eight specimens of Notropis hubbsi were collected.
Abundance, Diversity And Distribution Of Benthic Macro-Invertebrates In The Flat Bayou Drainage Area, Jefferson County, Arkansas, John D. Rickett
Abundance, Diversity And Distribution Of Benthic Macro-Invertebrates In The Flat Bayou Drainage Area, Jefferson County, Arkansas, John D. Rickett
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
The main ditch of Flat Bayou Drainage in north central Jefferson County carries water southward into Plum Bayou which then shortly empties into the Arkansas River. Flat Bayou proper flows northward into Wabbaseka Bayou which in turn flows into the Arkansas River in northeastern Lincoln County. Two sites on the main ditch were sampled for physico-chemical parameters and benthic macroin vertebrates on 9 September, 7 October and 11 November 1978. No visible detrimental effects were attributed to physico-chemical characteristics. Thirty-one below-family taxa and 19 families were found in abundance from zero at one site and date to 3580 per m² …
Hematology As Related To Diving Characteristics Of Elaphe Obsoleta, Nerodia Erythrogaster, Nerodia Fasciata And Nerodia Rhombifera, Dennis A. Baeyens, M. W. Patterson, Chris T. Mcallister
Hematology As Related To Diving Characteristics Of Elaphe Obsoleta, Nerodia Erythrogaster, Nerodia Fasciata And Nerodia Rhombifera, Dennis A. Baeyens, M. W. Patterson, Chris T. Mcallister
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
The diving capabilities of Nerodia erythrogaster flavigaster and Nerodia fasciata confluens were investigated and the results were compared with similar studies on Nerodia rhombifera rhombifera and Elaphe obsoleta obsoleta (Baeyens et al., 1978). In addition, morphological and hematological parameters contributing to underwater survival were examined. The duration of underwater survival for N. erythrogaster and N. fasciata was approximately one hour with no difference between the species. The lung volumes of the two species were also similar but were significantly less than lung volumes reported for E. obsoleta. There were no significant differences in hemoglobin concentration, red blood cell count or …
