    ABSTRACT HENSON, MARY NELL. Assessing the Influence of Tilapia

    ABSTRACT HENSON, MARY NELL. Assessing the Influence of Tilapia on Sport Species in North Carolina Reservoirs (Under the direction of Dr. D. Derek Aday and Dr. James A. Rice). Redbelly Tilapia Tilapia zilli, Blue Tilapia Oreochromus aureus and Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus are indigenous to Africa and the Middle East, but now are globally popular in aquaculture and for private and public stocking as a forage fish for sport species and as a biological control for nuisance vegetation. It is fairly well understood that foraging flexibility and wide salinity, oxygen and temperature tolerances have led to general invasion success for most tilapia species. The invasive nature of these species at a global scale and the lack of recent and applicably tested thermal tolerance methodology requires research to assess the current potential for invasion risk in North Carolina and elsewhere. In addition, conflicting empirical information about the influence of tilapia on native sport species leaves natural resource managers unable to anticipate potential risks to native sport species associated with possible additional introductions. This investigation focuses on assessing thermal cold tolerance of popular tilapia species, thought to be one of the only factors limiting their expansion, as well as investigating effects of tilapia on sport species in two NC reservoirs with extant tilapia populations: Hyco Lake, a large reservoir in northcentral NC and Lake Julian, a small impoundment in western NC. These reservoirs receive heated effluent from power-generating plants, which is assumed to provide winter refuge for tilapia at a time when temperatures would otherwise lead to mortality. We assessed abundances of tilapia and native sport species (Bluegill Lepomis macrochirus, black basses and Black Crappie Pomoxis nigromaculatus) in these systems and examined their trophic interactions via diet and stable isotope analyses in both lakes.

The contribution of flow to a stream from ground water or spring effluent. Climatic year. A continuous 12-month period during which a complete annual cycle occurs. In low-flow analyses, the climatic year typically is from April 1 through March 31, designated by the calendar year in which the climatic year begins. The year begins and ends during the period of increased flows so that all flows during a single dry season are included in annual values for that year. Continuous-record gaging station. A site on a stream where continuous records of gage height are collected and discharge records are computed. Drainage area. The drainage area of a stream at a specified location is that area, measured in a horizontal plane, which is enclosed by a drainage divide. Gage height. The water-surface elevation referenced to some arbitrary gage datum, often used interchangeably with the term "stage." Low flow. Base flow or sustained fair weather flow. Partial-record gaging station. A site on a stream where periodic discharge measure-ments are collected, usually for a period of years. The data collected at partial-record stations are often correlated with data at nearby continuous- record stations to estimate low-flow characteristics at the partial-record stations. Recurrence interval. The average interval of time within which the magnitude of an extreme event will be equaled or exceeded once.
