Fisheries And Environmental Research By The Minnesota Sea Grant College Program, Donald C. Mcnaught

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

ABSTRACT-Minnesota's Sea Grant College Program has funded research and outreach activities since 1977. Research results combined with public education setve the citizens, government, and businesses of the state. Research on commercial and sport fisheries, aquaculture, and environmental contamination is highlighted here. This article shows Sea Grant's contributions to understanding the Lake Superior ecosystem, including its chemical, biological, and human aspects.

Fishery Resource Of The Upper Mississippi River And Relationship To Stream Discharge, William A. Swenson, G. David Hebberling, Daniel J. Orr, Timothy D. Simonson

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

ABSTRACT-Fish population data collected through the Northern States Power Company monitoring program near its plants at Monticello and Becker, Minnesota were analyzed to describe species diversity, changes in recreational fishing, fishing success, and the influence of stream discharge on smallmouth bass year-class success and abundance. The work is part of a more extensive effort to develop a model applicable in managing the upper Mississippi River to meet the growing needs of recreation, agriculture, communities, and industry. Analysis of these data shows 48 species to be present and that smallmouth bass, Micropterus dolomieu~ is the most important game species in the …


Blood Chemistry Values For Some Fishes Of The Upper Mississippi River, Joseph B. Hunn Jan 1972

Blood Chemistry Values For Some Fishes Of The Upper Mississippi River, Joseph B. Hunn

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Plasma concentrations of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, inorganic phosphate, glucose, lactic acid and total carbon dioxide and whole blood pH and hematocrit were determined for nine species of fish from the Upper Mississippi River area. Most of the values obtained fall within the range of values published for other freshwater fishes, except that the plasma concentrations of potassium and chloride in sexually mature walleye pike were low. The chloride was compensated for by a high plasma total carbon dioxide. Further studies should establish whether these blood chemistry values may be considered of normal range. counties.
