  • Parasites of Largemouth Bass (Micropterus Salmoides)
    PARASITES OF LARGEMOUTH BASS (MICROPTERUS SALMOIDES) IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA By Daniel J. Troxel A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of The Requirements for the Degree Masters of Science Natural Resources, Fisheries November, 2010 ABSTRACT Parasites of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) in northern California Daniel J. Troxel A total of fifty largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) were collected from Clear Lake, Lake Berryessa, Lake Sonoma, Trinity Lake and the Sacramento – San Joaquin River Delta. All fish were infected with at least one parasite, with the exception of one juvenile fish from Trinity Lake in which no parasites were found. The following parasites were observed in largemouth bass: Actinocleiudus unguis, Clavunculus bursatus, Clinostomum complanatum, Proteocephalus pearsei, Contracaecum sp., Hysterothylacium (?) sp., Spinitectus carolini, Camallanus sp., Neoechinorhynchus cylindratus, Myzobdella lugubris, Batracobdella phalera, Ergasilus centrarchidarum, and Argulus flavescens. In addition to these identified parasites, I also found an unidentified leech and Proteocephalus sp. plerocercoids, which could not be identified to species. All of these parasites have been previously reported infecting largemouth bass. Clinostomum complanatum, Contracaecum sp. and Myzobdella lugubris, have been previously reported in California; but these are the first known reports from largemouth bass in California. Actinocleidus unguis was the only parasite found that has previously been reported to infect largemouth bass in California. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first and foremost like to acknowledge my parents, without their support over the past two years this project would not have been possible. I would like to thank Dr. Gary Hendrickson for his contributions in the laboratory during the long process of identifying parasites.

Królewicza 4, 71-550, Szczecin, Poland Abstract Most diseases induced by herpesviruses are host-specific; however, exceptions exist within the family Alloherpesviridae. Most members of the Alloherpesviridae are detected in at least two different species, with and without clinical signs of a disease. In the current study the Koi herpesvirus (KHV) was used as a model member of the Alloherpesviridae and rainbow trout as a model salmonid host, which were infected with KHV by immersion. KHV was detected using direct methods (qPCR and semi-nested PCR) and indirect (enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay; ELISA, serum neutralization test; SNT). The non-koi herpesvirus disease (KHVD)-susceptible salmonid fish were demonstrated to transfer KHV to naïve carp at two different temperatures including a temperature most suitable for the salmonid (15°C) and cyprinid (20°C).

  • SPORT FISH of OHIO Identification DIVISION of WILDLIFE
    SPORT FISH OF OHIO identification DIVISION OF WILDLIFE 1 With more than 40,000 miles of streams, 2.4 million acres of Lake Erie and inland water, and 450 miles of the Ohio River, Ohio supports a diverse and abundant fish fauna represented by more than 160 species. Ohio’s fishes come in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors...and live in a variety of aquatic habitats from our largest lakes and rivers to the smallest ponds and creeks. Approximately one-third of these species can be found in this guide. This fish identification guide provides color illustrations to help anglers identify their catch, and useful tips to help catch more fish. We hope it will also increase your awareness of the diversity of fishes in Ohio. This book also gives information about the life history of 27 of Ohio’s commonly caught species, as well as information on selected threatened and endangered species. Color illustrations and names are also offered for 20 additional species, many of which are rarely caught by anglers, but are quite common throughout Ohio. Fishing is a favorite pastime of many Ohioans and one of the most enduring family traditions. A first fish or day shared on the water are memories that last a lifetime. It is our sincere hope that the information in this guide will contribute significantly to your fishing experiences and understanding of Ohio’s fishes. Good Fishing! The ODNR Division of Wildlife manages the fisheries of more than 160,000 acres of inland water, 7,000 miles of streams, and 2.25 million acres of Lake Erie.

  • A Draft Genome of the Striped Catfish, Pangasianodon Hypophthalmus, for Comparative Analysis of Genes Relevant to Development An
    Kim et al. BMC Genomics (2018) 19:733 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-018-5079-x RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access A draft genome of the striped catfish, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus, for comparative analysis of genes relevant to development and a resource for aquaculture improvement Oanh T. P. Kim1*† , Phuong T. Nguyen1†, Eiichi Shoguchi2†, Kanako Hisata2, Thuy T. B. Vo1, Jun Inoue2, Chuya Shinzato2,4, Binh T. N. Le1, Koki Nishitsuji2, Miyuki Kanda3, Vu H. Nguyen1, Hai V. Nong1 and Noriyuki Satoh2* Abstract Background: The striped catfish, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus, is a freshwater and benthopelagic fish common in the Mekong River delta. Catfish constitute a valuable source of dietary protein. Therefore, they are cultured worldwide, and P. hypophthalmus is a food staple in the Mekong area. However, genetic information about the culture stock, is unavailable for breeding improvement, although genetics of the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, has been reported. Toacquiregenomesequencedataasausefulresourcefor marker-assisted breeding, we decoded a draft genome of P. hypophthalmus and performed comparative analyses. Results: Using the Illumina platform, we obtained both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences. Molecular phylogeny using the mitochondrial genome confirmed that P. hypophthalmus is a member of the family Pangasiidae and is nested within a clade including the families Cranoglanididae and Ictaluridae. The nuclear genome was estimated at approximately 700 Mb, assembled into 568 scaffolds with an N50 of 14.29 Mbp, and was estimated to contain ~ 28,600 protein-coding genes, comparable to those of channel catfish and zebrafish. Interestingly, zebrafish produce gadusol, but genes for biosynthesis of this sunscreen compound have been lost from catfish genomes.

  • Invasive Catfish Management Strategy August 2020
    Invasive Catfish Management Strategy August 2020 A team from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries uses electrofishing to monitor invasive blue catfish in the James River in 2011. (Photo by Matt Rath/Chesapeake Bay Program) I. Introduction This management strategy portrays the outcomes of an interactive workshop (2020 Invasive Catfish Workshop) held by the Invasive Catfish Workgroup at the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Rice Rivers Center in Charles City, Virginia on January 29-30, 2020. The workshop convened a diverse group of stakeholders to share the current scientific understanding and priority issues associated with invasive catfishes in Chesapeake Bay. The perspectives shared and insights gained from the workshop were used to develop practical, synergistic recommendations that will improve management and mitigate impacts of these species across jurisdictions within the watershed. Blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) and flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris) are native to the Ohio, Missouri, Mississippi, and Rio Grande river basins, and were introduced into the Virginia tributaries of Chesapeake Bay in the 1960s and 1970s to establish a recreational fishery. These non-native species have since spread, inhabiting nearly all major tributaries of the Bay watershed. Rapid range expansion and population growth, particularly of blue catfish, have led to increasing concerns about impacts on the ecology of the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. 1 Chesapeake Bay Management Strategy Invasive Catfish Blue and flathead catfishes are long-lived species that can negatively impact native species in Chesapeake Bay through predation and resource competition. Blue catfish are generalist feeders that prey on a wide variety of species that are locally abundant, including those of economic importance and conservation concern, such as blue crabs, alosines, Atlantic menhaden, American eels, and bay anchovy.
