Abstract:
Plasma osmotic and electrolyte concentrations as well as branchial Na+/K+ and Mg++ ATPase activities were determined in the field for largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides, from a brackish marsh and freshwater lake in southcentral Louisiana. Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate plasma chemistry and gill ATPase activities of largemouth bass from both locations exposed to 0, 4, 8, and 12‰ salinity. No significant differences in physiological responses were detected between marsh and freshwater largemouth bass exposed to 0, 4, or 12‰. Exposure to 12‰ salinity resulted in osmotic stress in largemouth bass from both locations. At 8‰, marsh largemouth bass had significantly higher plasma solutes and lower gill ATPase activities than freshwater fish. Different physiological responses by marsh and freshwater largemouth bass during exposure to 8‰ salinity indicated that marsh largemouth bass have adapted to environments of variable salinity by reducing active ion transport and tolerating elevated plasma son levels.

Abstract:
In situ and laboratory feeding trials coupled with stomach content analysis of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) were performed to examine how turbidity influences the size selectivity and capture rates of prey. No significant differences in the capture success of adult largemouth bass preying on northern redbelly dace (Phoxinus eos) were observed during in situ feeding trials in two Lake Ontario coastal wetlands differing in turbidity level (2.3 and 20 nephlometric turbity units (NTU)). During 1-h laboratory feeding trials, the overall number of fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) captured was not significantly different among 1-, 18-, and 37-NTU treatments. However, at 70 NTU, the number of fathead minnows captured was significantly lower than that at the lowest turbidity treatment. Selection by juvenile largemouth bass of the smallest size-class of fathead minnow decreased as turbidity increased. No significant differences in piscivory were apparent between juvenile largemouth bass collected from turbid and clear habitats. Stomach content comparisons of juvenile largemouth bass seined from six clear and turbid habitats suggest that piscivory is primarily regulated by the availability of vulnerable size-classes of prey fish, as opposed to water clarity.

Abstract:
This study aimed to evaluate classification algorithms to predict largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) occurrence in South Korea. Fish monitoring and environmental data (temperature, precipitation, flow rate, water quality, elevation, and slope) were collected from 581 locations throughout four major river basins for 5 years (2011–2015). Initially, 13 classification models built in the caret package were evaluated for predicting largemouth bass occurrence. Based on the accuracy (>0.8) and kappa (>0.5) criteria, the top three classification algorithms (i.e., random forest (rf), C5.0, and conditional inference random forest) were selected to develop ensemble models. However, combining the best individual models did not work better than the best individual model (rf) at predicting the frequency of largemouth bass occurrence. Additionally, annual mean temperature (12.1 °C) and fall mean temperature (13.6 °C) were the most important environmental variables to discriminate the presence and absence of largemouth bass. The evaluation process proposed in this study will be useful to select a prediction model for the prediction of freshwater fish occurrence but will require further study to ensure ecological reliability.

Abstract:
Globally largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides is one of the most widely introduced game fish species which has now become invasive in many countries. Well researched in its native North America, there are few studies on this species in its introduced range. This study aims to improve the understanding of the biology and ecology of M. salmoides in temperate southern Africa, where it threatens native biota and supports a popular recreational fishery. This aim was addressed by assessing the age, growth, maturity, reproductive seasonality, feeding, mortality and movement, of two M. salmoides populations from Wriggleswade (1000 ha, 723 m amsl, 32º35'S; 27º33'E) and Mankazana (35 ha, 66 m amsl, 33º09'S; 26º57'E) Dams in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. The most suitable structure for ageing M. salmoides was determined by comparing the accuracy and precision of otoliths and scales. Scales tended to underestimate the age of fish older than five years. Sectioned sagittal otoliths were the more precise structures for ageing (otoliths CV = 15.8 vs. scales CV = 21.9). The periodicity of growth zone formation was validated as annual for otoliths using both edge analysis (EA), and mark recapture of chemically tagged fish (MRCT). EA indicated one annual peak in the frequency of opaque margins between September and January using a periodic logistic regression and a binomial model linked with a von Mises distribution for circular data. MRCT showed the linear relationship between time at liberty and number of growth zones distal to the fluorescent band was not significantly different from one (slope = 0.89). Reproduction was similar to that in native and non-native populations with fish reaching age at 50% maturity at ca. two years, and length at 50% maturity at 259-290 mm FL depending on growth rate. Spawning season occurred in the spring months of August to October. The Wriggleswade Dam population reached similar ages (14 yrs) to populations in temperate North America. Growth was described using the von Bertalanffy growth equations of (Lt = 420(1-ᵉ⁻°·³³⁽ᵗ⁺°·²¹⁾) mm FL in Wriggleswade and (Lt = 641(1-ᵉ⁻°·²²⁽ᵗ⁺°·⁷⁶⁾) mm FL in Mankazana. Growth performance of both populations, described using the phi prime index, seemed to be correlated with temperature and the Wriggleswade Dam population (Φ’ = 2.8) grew similarly to those native temperate North American populations and the non-native populations of Japan and Italy. The Mankazana population had a higher growth performance (Φ’ = 2.9) compared to Wriggleswade and growth was comparable to other nonnative African populations. Both populations utilised all available food resources, with the Mankazana population being in better condition than the Wriggleswade population as a result of a more diverse diet, highly abundant food sources throughout the year, and potentially the adoption of a more conservative ambush feeding strategy. The Wriggleswade population, which was utilised by competitive anglers, showed low mortality rates (Z = 0.43 yr⁻¹), and translocated fish dispersed from the common release site, travelling an average distance of 4km over the study time of 494 days. These results indicated that M. salmoides are successful in these environments, growing at expected temperature dependant rates, maturing at two years, using all available food groups, and suffering from low mortality. It is therefore likely that they will persist in South Africa and establish where introduced.

Habitat is a central focus of ecological research and fisheries management. For example, a Web of Science search returned over 88,000 peer-reviewed studies that examined fish habitat, the National Fish Habitat Partnership has invested millions of dollars to “foster fish habitat conservation,” and “essential fish habitat” is a central tenet of marine fisheries policy. The overarching goal of my thesis was to examine the spatial context of fish habitat research in order to improve the effectiveness of fisheries management. To achieve this goal, I quantified approaches to fish habitat used in the peer reviewed literature. Then I tested if approaches to assessing habitat provided different ecological answers to key questions using 1,200 young of year largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) collected in Hillsdale Lake, Kansas, in 2014-2015. Within, the fisheries habitat literature, several gaps exist. First, although vegetation was a major focus of young of year largemouth bass habitat research, few studies quantitatively compared young of year largemouth abundance and diet across vegetated and non-vegetated habitats. Second, relatively little of the fisheries habitat literature on young of year largemouth bass explicitly tested habitat type, a common approach used in management and restoration. Third, peer reviewed papers on young of year largemouth bass physical habitat used multiple approaches to studying habitat (local characteristics, habitat type, lakewide characteristics), then often ignored spatial variation completely in interpreting empirical results. Field sampling provided information on several of these gaps. First, young of year largemouth bass were more abundant in vegetation and beach habitats than in rock, wood, or offshore habitats. Young of year largemouth bass utilized beach habitats as often as vegetated habitats. Diets were similar across vegetated and beach habitat types. Second, size of young of year largemouth bass increased through time but size and habitat were not related. My data showed that the size range seen for first year largemouth bass in the first summer in Hillsdale Lake did not alter their distribution or diet. From my research, I make the following recommendations. 1.) Concurrently examine local characteristics, habitat type, and lakewide characteristics with the same data set. 2.) Include insights about different approaches in the discussion of all future fisheries habitat studies. 3.) Continue to test multiple approaches to test fisheries response to habitat. In summary, using different approaches to study young of year largemouth bass habitat use could improve our scientific understanding and aid in restoration and management of reservoir and lake fisheries.

Foram capturados 41 animais divididos entre inverno e verão, provenientes da Albufeira de Póvoas e Meadas, a fim de caracterizar a composição química e a qualidade nutricional do músculo de achigã. Verificou-se que a época influenciou significativamente o perfil lipídico e o teor proteico da carne de achigã. Os resultados obtidos revelam que a parte edível apresenta qualidade nutricional ao nível destes compostos. Contudo, a sua composição química no verão pode revelar-se uma prática menos saudável, já que o seu perfil apresenta alteração ao nível dos principais grupos de lípidos analisados; ABSTRACT: As the largemouth bass is a species with potential for promoting Alentejo inland regions through sport fishing, the general purpose of this dissertation was to determine the nutritional quality of largemouth bass meat at two different seasons, in order to assess if this species consumption maybe considered as a healthy practice in Portuguese diet. In order to characterize the chemical composition and nutritional quality of the largemouth bass meat, 41 animals from Póvoas e Meadas reservoir, were captured between winter and summer. It was shown that season has significantly influenced the lipidic and protein profile of the largemouth bass meat. The obtained results also suggest that the edible part presents nutritional quality in these profiles. However, largemouth bass chemical compositions in summer can be an unhealthier practice, since its profiles shows changes in the main lipid groups analysed.

ANDREW R. COURSEY, for the Master of Science degree in Zoology, presented 24 June 2011 at Southern Illinois University Carbondale TITLE: ALTERNATIVE FEEDING STRATEGIES TO MAXIMIZE MARINE FEEDSTUFF REPLACEMENT IN LARGEMOUTH BASS Micropterus salmoides CULTURE WHILE MAINTAINING PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE Advisors: Chris Kohler and Jesse Trushenski Harvest of marine resources for feedstuff production is at its maximum sustainable yield and alternative feedstuffs are needed to supply livestock production for an expanding human population having a growing desire for seafood. Aquaculture is currently the fastest growing sector of agriculture, but the high cost and limited supplies of marine feedstuffs for aquafeeds could ultimately limit production of foodfish. Replacement of marine feedstuffs poses a dilemma, however, as replacement of fish meal can affect animal growth, and replacement of fish oil in aquafeeds leads to altered fillet fatty acid profiles without the maximum benefit of high omega-3 (n-3) and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) content. Two feeding trials were conducted to determine if poultry byproducts can replace fish meal and fish oil in diets for largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides without affecting production performance or fillet fatty acid composition. Poultry byproducts were able to replace fish meal and fish oil while maintaining production performance of largemouth bass, however, the altered fatty acid profiles of the feeds were reflected in the fillets. Finishing diets containing high levels of fish oil were implemented to restore n-3 and LC PUFA concentrations in the fillet. Twelve weeks of finishing proved suitable to partially restore n-3 and LC-PUFA concentrations while limiting the overall use of marine resources in the largemouth bass production cycle.

<em>Abstract.</em>—Historic reports and museum records describe a distinct spatial distribution pattern and habitat partitioning between Largemouth Bass <em> Micropertus salmoides salmoides </em>and Spotted Bass <em> Micropterus punctulatus</em>. However, beginning in the mid-20th Century, the literature describes more co-occurrences and less species specificity among habitats and distributions. Herein, we conducted a retrospective analysis of recently collected data (2005–2014) to assess: (1) how current distributional patterns of Spotted Bass and Largemouth Bass compare with historic distributions in Louisiana; (2) evidence of species-specific habitat associations based on abundance and habitat data collected; and (3) whether the Florida Largemouth Bass <em> M. salmoides floridanus </em>stocking program has affected Spotted Bass populations in adjacent river systems. Analyses of 68 wadeable streams and rivers indicated that current spatial distributions matched historic descriptions for 6 of 9 major drainages, with evidence still supporting distinct habitat associations for each species. Importantly, Spotted Bass did appear to be negatively influenced by widespread Largemouth Bass stocking. Further, construction of reservoirs across the state and landscape conversion from wet prairie and forest to intensive agriculture may have negatively impacted both species. Overall, habitat alteration and loss was the most widespread explanation for declines in Spotted Bass, with Largemouth Bass stocking of secondary and more localized importance.

<em>Abstract</em>.—We evaluated the influence of lake morphometry, water quality, and common carp <em>Cyprinus carpio </em>and largemouth bass <em>Micropterus salmoides </em>population structure on quality black crappie <em>Pomoxis nigromaculatus </em>and bluegill <em>Lepomis macrochirus </em>populations for 20 Iowa impoundments. Growth of black crappie was positively related to growth of largemouth bass. Black crappie catch per unit effort (CPUE) was positively associated with watershed size and alkalinity and negatively related to largemouth bass growth. Size structure of bluegill populations was positively influenced by chlorophyll concentrations and largemouth bass catch rates. Total phosphorus and CPUE of stock-to-quality length largemouth bass were also positively related to bluegill growth. Bluegill CPUE was inversely related to largemouth bass growth. Quality largemouth bass populations were allied with turbid (high total suspended solids and low Secchi disk depth) impoundments that had a diverse shoreline and large watersheds. Largemouth bass growth was inversely related to mean depth, and largemouth bass CPUE was inversely related to alkalinity and total suspended solids. Information from this study will be used to classify and rank impoundments in terms of their management priorities. Based on impoundment morphometry and water quality, managers can then target management practices toward species best suited to a particular impoundment.

Abstract:
<em>Abstract</em>.—Thirteen United States fishery agencies utilized routine supplemental stocking as a means to manage largemouth bass <em>Micropterus salmoides </em>populations in large (>405-ha) reservoirs. State agencies stocking largemouth bass used two strains (i.e., northern and Florida) as well as intergrades. Largemouth bass for stocking were raised in hatcheries, lakeside nursery ponds, or both. Among states, methods used to monitor fish in hatchery ponds and lakeside nursery ponds, the date ponds were drained, and methods to enumerate fish from the ponds varied. Although most states cited bolstering weak year-classes as their main reason for routine stocking, others noted increasing genetic variability within populations and public pressure as reasons that their agencies stocked large reservoirs with largemouth bass. As agencies continue to respond to public pressures for larger fish, they should consider the possible consequences of mixing stocks of largemouth bass. With continued development of agency rearing techniques, especially in lakeside nursery ponds, methods to enumerate fish should be considered to aid in future stocking evaluations. Improved rearing and stocking techniques will allow fisheries managers to utilize resource dollars in a way that provides benefit to anglers while ensuring the sustainability of largemouth bass populations.

<em>Abstract</em>.—Despite the widespread use of supplemental stocking, survival of age-0 and age-1 stocked fish is often variable and stocking success is not commonly evaluated through adult size-classes. We evaluated the long-term contribution of stocked largemouth bass <em>Micropterus salmoides </em>from three annual stockings in 15 reservoirs in Illinois. Stocked largemouth bass were marked with fin clips and sampled for 5 years. Contribution of stocked fish to the population was highest for age-0 (21%) and age-1 largemouth bass (17%) but decreased significantly in adult fish (5%). Contribution of stocked bass was not associated with either populations of wild largemouth bass or latitude. Survival of stocked fish was similar to survival of wild fish through age 1. Age-0 abundance of wild and stocked largemouth bass were positively correlated in the fall following stocking, suggesting that similar factors may influence initial survival. Survival of stocked fish from age-1 to adult age decreased significantly compared to wild fish, resulting in low contribution of stocked bass to the adult population. Adult and age-1 catch per unit effort of stocked largemouth bass were positively correlated with the mean size of stocked bass in the first fall after stocking and the following spring, indicating that lakes with higher growth rates have increased contribution of stocked fish. We found limited contribution of stocked fish to adult largemouth bass populations due to low survival from age-1 to adult age. Assessments of fish stocking success should evaluate survival of stocked fish through adult ages or they may omit a critical period for mortality.

Abstract:
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) maintains breakwaters in Milwaukee Harbor. USACE’s Engineering With Nature® (EWN®) breakwater demonstration project created rocky aquatic habitat with cobbles (10–20 cm) covering boulders (6–8 metric tons) along a 152 m section. A prolific population of Hemimysis anomala, an introduced Pontocaspian mysid and important food source for local pelagic fishes, was significantly (p < .05) more abundant on cobbles versus boulders. Food-habits data of alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) and rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) provided evidence that H. anomala were a common prey item. Night surveys and gill netting confirmed O. mordax preferred foraging on the cobbles (p < .05) and consumed more H. anomala than at the reference site (p < .05). H. anomala comprised a significant portion of the diets of young-of-the-year (YOY) yellow perch (Perca flavescens), YOY largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), and juvenile rock bass (Ambloplites rupestris) caught on the breakwater. The natural features’ construction on the breakwater increased the available habitat for this benthopelagic macroinvertebrate and created a novel ecosystem benefiting forage fish and a nursery habitat benefiting nearshore game fish juveniles. These data will encourage the application of EWN concepts during structural repairs at other built navigation infrastructure.
