  • 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.

  • Distribution and Growth of Blue Sucker in a Great Plains River, USA
    Fisheries Management and Ecology, 2007, 14, 255–262 Distribution and growth of blue sucker in a Great Plains river, USA J. L. EITZMANN & A. S. MAKINSTER* Division of Biology, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, USA C. P. PAUKERT U.S. Geological Survey, Kansas Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, Division of Biology, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, USA Abstract Blue sucker, Cycleptus elongatus (Le Sueur), was sampled in the Kansas River, Kansas, USA to determine how relative abundance varies spatially and growth compares to other populations. Electric fishing was conducted at 36 fixed sites during five time periods from March 2005 to January 2006 to determine seasonal distribution. An additional 302 sites were sampled in summer 2005 to determine distribution throughout the river. A total of 101 blue sucker was collected ranging from 242 to 782 mm total length and 1–16 years old. Higher catch rates were observed in upper river segments and below a low-head dam in lower river segments, and catch rates were higher during November in the upriver sites. Kansas River blue sucker exhibited slower growth rates than other populations in the Great Plains including populations as far north as South Dakota.

  • Botanical Assessment: Biasiolli Forest
    Summer Botanical Assessment: Biasiolli Forest August 2014 Property: Biasiolli Forest Greene and Albemarle Counties, Virginia Prepared for: 500-Year Forest Foundation Durham, NC 1 SUMMARY On July 31st and August 1st 2014, Virginia Forestry and Wildlife Group conducted a botanical survey on approximately 107 acres* of mostly forested land owned by Frank and Eleanor Biasiolli. This assessment of the property’s floristic diversity was conducted in agreement with a conservation easement through the 500-Year Forest Foundation. Data collected though this mid-summer effort is intended to build upon data obtained during spring sampling efforts, also conducted by Virginia Forestry and Wildlife Group on May 4th and 5th 2014. Merging data from spring and summer sampling efforts has produced a comprehensive list of species documented for the Biasiolli Forest as well as a thorough survey of the Forest’s diversity, noteworthy habitats, and management issues (such as invasive species). Summer sampling efforts documented an additional 119 species. Adding this figure to the 112 species documented during spring sampling efforts yields a total of 231 species documented as occurring on the Biasiolli Forest. Merging data from spring and summer sampling efforts has shown that approximately 84% of Biasiolli’s flora is native to North America and the remaining 16% is introduced. Approximately 3% of Biasiolli’s flora is heavily invasive on the property. Early and late summer sampling efforts will likely add to the number of taxa already documented for the Biasiolli Forest. Sampling efforts conducted in subsequent seasons are also likely to turn up additional taxa due to anomalies between growing seasons.

Within Kthe United States, Kentucky’s native freshwater fish diversity is exceeded only by Alabama and Tennessee. This high diversity of native fishes corresponds to an abun- dance of water bodies and wide variety of aquatic habitats across the state – from swift upland streams to large sluggish rivers, oxbow lakes, and wetlands. Approximately 25 species are most frequently caught by anglers either for sport or food. Many of these species occur in streams and rivers statewide, while several are routinely stocked in public and private water bodies across the state, especially ponds and reservoirs. The largest proportion of Kentucky’s fish fauna (80%) includes darters, minnows, suckers, madtoms, smaller sunfishes, and other groups (e.g., lam- preys) that are rarely seen by most people.

  • Changes in Freshwater Mussel Populations of the Ohio River: 1,000 BP to Recent Times1
    Changes in Freshwater Mussel Populations of the Ohio River: 1,000 BP to Recent Times1 RALPH W. TAYLOR, Department of Biological Sciences, Marshall University, Huntington, WV 25701 ABSTRACT. Through the use of literature records and new data, it was possible to compile a list of species of freshwater mussels that inhabited the upper Ohio River (Ohio River Mile [ORM] 0-300) around a thou- sand years ago. This information was derived from specimens found associated with Indian middens lo- cated along the banks of the Ohio. Analysis of these data indicates that at least 31 species of mussels were present in the river. Arnold Ort- mann recorded 37 species from the same area as a result of his many years of collecting around the turn of the 20th century. Thirty-three species have been collectively documented as currently residing in limited numbers in the river. The number of species present has remained essentially unchanged through time. There have been, however, significant changes in species composition and total numbers of individual mus- sels present. Occasionally, healthy populations can be found presently but much of the upper Ohio River is devoid of mussel life. Several large-river species have become established in this reach of the river as a con- sequence of damming and the resulting increase in depth, greater siltation and slowed rate of flow. Seven- teen species known to have previously inhabited the upper Ohio River are listed as presumed to no longer survive there. OHIO J. SCI. 89 (5): 188-191, 1989 INTRODUCTION and Dam in 1976, coupled with the current expansion For thousands of years, the Ohio River flowed freely of Gallipolis Locks and Dam, it appears that the present for nearly 1,000 mi — from its origin at the junction of series of high-rise dams (12 ft [3 m] navigation channel) the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers to its conflu- will meet the barge traffic needs well into the 21st cen- ence with the Mississippi River.
