January 10, 2018 Dear Chapter Membership: Welcome to the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Arkansas Chapter of the American Fisheries Society. Please make full use of this opportunity to reconnect with our fisheries colleagues from around the state, network with new ones, and learn about the excellent aquatic research that is occurring throughout Arkansas. For some, this will be an opportunity to visit a part of the state you have never seen. Take time to see Bayou Bartholomew, “The World’s Longest Bayou” and one of Arkansas’s most diverse stream communities that flows through Pine Bluff. You will also have the opportunity to learn more about the Arkansas Delta at the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s Mike Huckabee Delta Rivers Nature Center during the Welcome Social Tuesday evening. The Chapter’s Conference Organizing Committee has planned an excellent meeting.

  • Endangered Species
    FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

  • Thesis Evaluating the Success of Arkansas
    THESIS EVALUATING THE SUCCESS OF ARKANSAS DARTER TRANSLOCATIONS IN COLORADO: AN OCCUPANCY SAMPLING APPROACH Submitted by Matthew C. Groce Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2011 Master’s Committee: Department Head: Kenneth R. Wilson Advisor: Kurt D. Fausch Larissa L. Bailey N. LeRoy Poff ABSTRACT EVALUATING THE SUCCESS OF ARKANSAS DARTER TRANSLOCATIONS IN COLORADO: AN OCCUPANCY SAMPLING APPROACH Like many fishes native to western Great Plains streams, the Arkansas darter Etheostoma cragini has declined, apparently in response to changes in flow regimes and habitat fragmentation. I investigated the effectiveness of translocation as a management strategy to conserve this threatened species in the Arkansas River basin of southeastern Colorado. I used a multiscale design to sample darters and several attributes of their habitat at the local 10-m site scale, the 3.25-km translocation segment scale, and the 10- km riverscape scale, in all 19 streams where darters were previously translocated. I used multistate occupancy estimation, based on two consecutive dipnetting surveys, to determine habitat characteristics correlated with site occupancy and detectability of Arkansas darters. Darters were present in 11 of 19 streams, although 5 were completely dry when visited. Darters had reproduced in 10 of the 11 streams (one criterion in the state recovery plan), and 6 streams also met a second criterion for abundance (>500 individuals). However, populations in only two streams unequivocally met the third criterion of being self-sustaining, because the other four streams had been stocked annually with hatchery-reared darters.

Tisdale-Hein Technical Service Center Fisheries and Wildlife Resources Group Building 56, Denver Federal Center Denver, Colorado 80225 U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation Technical Service Center Denver, Colorado June 2006 Summary During September 2005, the Bureau of Reclamation conducted an inventory of the fish species in the Arch Wetland and in the Arkansas River within the boundaries of Bent’s Old Fort National Historic Site (BEOL) in Otero County, Colorado. An inventory of plant species was also conducted at the Arch Wetland during September 2005 and May 2006. Both of these inventories were part of an effort to identify any species of concern or additional species occurrences. A secondary objective of the fish sampling was to document the presence of individuals or habitat of the state-threatened Arkansas darter (Etheostoma cragini). A total of 12 fish species were detected at BEOL, including 8 new species records for the park. The park now has a total of 13 fish species detected within the park. In this study, 3 fish species were documented in the Arch Wetland, and 9 fish species were documented in the Arkansas River.
