  • An Ecological Approach to Management of an Important Reservoir Fishery
    An ecological approach to management of an important reservoir fishery DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jahn Lee Kallis Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Elizabeth A. Marschall, Adviser Professor Stuart A. Ludsin Professor Roy A. Stein Copyright by Jahn Lee Kallis 2013 Abstract The research described herein was an attempt to determine the mechanisms underlying variation in success of saugeye (female Sander vitreus X male S. canadensis) stocked into Ohio reservoirs. In addition, we sought to identify the mechanisms that can be affected by management practices and provide a model framework for experimental assessments of fish stocking alternatives. We accomplished our goals using laboratory experiments and field assessments conducted at the individual and population levels. In a manipulative field study, we evaluated two fish management alternatives, stocking saugeye fry (approximately 6 mm total length (TL)) and stocking saugeye fingerlings (approximately 30 mm TL). We based our evaluation on a comprehensive analysis that included biological responses (i.e. saugeye growth and survival), economic criteria (i.e., saugeye production costs), and multiple fishery objectives. We also correlated saugeye growth and survival with environmental variables to help inform future stocking decisions. Although predation and the timing and abundance of larval gizzard shad prey have been implicated in the success of stocked saugeye cohorts, results from our field manipulative study did not strictly follow predictions from previous research. ii Thus, we combined saugeye historical data with data from our research to test earlier assumptions about saugeye predation mortality and the influence of gizzard shad on stocked saugeye cohorts.

The City and the Department have recognized the need for preservation of area greenways and maintain this plan to accomplish that goal. Historically the City of Westerville as looked to incorporate recommendations from three regional greenway plans; Greenways: A Plan for Franklin County, Greenways: A Plan for Alum Creek and the Lower Alum Creek Watershed Action Plan. This update constitutes a specialized greenway plan for the City of Westerville while retaining the regional perspective. The plan identifies existing greenways and natural resource areas setting forth guidelines for their management to ensure their function in the natural environment and provide public exposure to these critical areas. The City of Westerville actively manages greenways as a linkage of park system components to form a continuous park environment, emphasize harmony with the natural environment, allow uninterrupted and safe pedestrian and other non motorized movement between parks throughout the community, provide citizens a natural resource base and enhance property values. The City of Westerville also manages natural resource areas as land set aside for preservation of significant natural resources, remnant landscapes, open space and visual aesthetics and buffering.

  • Of the Licking River Watershed, Eastcentral Ohio: 1972-19771
    The Distribution of Crayfishes (Decapoda: Cambaridae) of the Licking River Watershed, Eastcentral Ohio: 1972-19771 RAYMOND F. JEZERINAC, Department of Zoology, The Ohio State University at Newark, University Drive, Newark, OH 43055 ABSTRACT. Between 1972 and 1977, five species of crayfishes inhabited the Licking River watershed. Those found throughout the system, in order of their abundance, were Orconectes (Crockerinus) sanbornii sanbornii, Cambarus (Puncticambarus) robustus, and O. (Procericambarus) rusticus. The first two species were cap- tured at 88% and 49% of the sites, respectively. Cambarus (Cambarus) bartonii cavatus and C. (Lacunicambarus) diogenes were found in first order headwater streams, springs, and roadside ditches containing water. Orconectes (P.) rusticus has been introduced into the watershed and appears to be increasing its range within the basin. Since the primary survey, two additional introduced crayfish species were found at the Hebron State Fish Hatchery: O. (Gremicambarus) virilis, and O. (G.) immunis. OHIO J.
