Book excerpt: This work was motivated to improve understanding of Lake Erie walleye (Sander vitreus) distribution and abundance. Lake Erie walleye are large migratory fish that are ecologically and economically important within the Great Lakes region. The population is monitored partly through a fishery independent gill net survey carried out by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources - Division of Wildlife (ODNRDOW). However, high variation in annual CPUE has interfered with this survey's ability to identify changes in walleye abundance. Therefore, the ODNR-DOW was interested in the potential of coupling hydroacoustic sampling with the existing gill net survey to quantify Lake Erie walleye distribution and abundance. In this dissertation I address four major questions that helped optimally couple hydroacoustic and gill net surveys. In Chapter 1, I evaluated the impact of beam compensation on surveyed target strength (TS) data. I found that using an intermediate beam compensation (18 dB), greater than conventionally suggested (6 dB), provided a higher quantity of TS data with minimal impact on TS data quality. Increased beam compensation led to higher encounter rates and more TS data per fish, which ultimately provided a better characterization of the low density walleye population. In Chapter 2, I evaluated the influence of vessel size and day-night period on the availability of the walleye population to a hydroacoustic survey. I found that walleye were less likely to avoid smaller sampling vessels, but the vessel size effect decreased with depth. Also, during the fall period of the gill net survey, walleye were more available to hydroacoustic sampling at night. Finally, although vessel size and day-night sampling period are important logistical consideration, capturing spatial distributions across the survey should be prioritized in future surveys. In Chapter 3, I compared gill net catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) and hydroacoustic abundance estimates from across a large survey area with varied environmental conditions. I found that the relationship between gill net CPUE and abundance changed across the survey along environmental gradients. This indicated that sub-optimal catchability and gear efficiency in the gill net survey limits its ability to quantify changes in abundance, and adding a hydroacoustic component to this survey would be beneficial. In Chapter 4, I developed a method to infer species composition of the hydroacoustic data while addressing many apportionment challenges, such as: limited and variable species composition data, subjective threshold decisions, and uncertainty in mean TS estimates. This method improved species composition estimates, propagated uncertainty from both sampling methods, and eliminated subjective threshold decisions. Distribution estimates corresponded with known patterns of walleye movements and ecology, while survey-wide estimates were comparable to independent estimates based on annual stock assessments. Using the methods outlined here in, hydroacoustics could be successfully coupled with the existing ODNR-DOW gill net survey to improve quantification of Lake Erie walleye distribution and abundance.

Book Synopsis Yellow Perch, Walleye, and Sauger: Aspects of Ecology, Management, and Culture by : John Clay Bruner
Download or read book Yellow Perch, Walleye, and Sauger: Aspects of Ecology, Management, and Culture written by John Clay Bruner and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walleye, one of the most sought-after species of freshwater sport fishes in North America, has demonstrated appreciable declines in their numbers from their original populations since the beginning of the 20th century. Similarly, Yellow Perch, once the most commonly caught sport fish and an important commercial species in North America, have also shown declines. Compiling up-to-date information on the biology and management of Walleye, Sauger, and Yellow Perch, including research on systematics, genetics, physiology, ecology, movement, population dynamics, culture, recent case histories, and management practices, will be of interest to managers, researchers, and students who deal with these important species, particularly in light of habitat alterations, population shifts, and other biotic and abiotic factors related to a changing climate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key goal of fisheries management is to regulate extractive pressure on a resource so as to ensure social, economic and ecological sustainability. This text provides an accessible entry point for students and professionals to management science as developed in fisheries, in order to facilitate uptake of the latest ideas and methods. Traditional management approaches have relied upon a stock assessment based on existing understanding of resource status and dynamics, and a prediction of the likely future response to a static management proposal. However all such predictions include an inherent degree of uncertainty, and the last few decades have seen the emergence of an adaptive approach that uses feedback control to account for unknown future behaviour. Feedback is achieved via a control rule, which defines a relationship between perceived status of the resource and a management action. Evaluations of such rules usually include computer simulation testing across a broad range of uncertainties, so that an appropriate and robust rule can be selected by stakeholders and managers. The book focuses on this approach, which is usually referred to as Management Strategy Evaluation. The book is enriched by case study examples from different parts of the world, as well as insights into the theory and practice from those actively involved in the science of fisheries management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deluxe, comprehensive guide to the native species of Mississippi Download Plain Text version Where was the largest bass caught in Mississippi? What streams are sometimes home to the gulf sturgeon? How can an angler tell a grass pickerel from a walleye? In Inland Fishes of Mississippi, Stephen T. Ross answers these questions and many more. Mississippi waters are some of the richest inland fish habitats in the United States. In fact, only four states have more native fish than Mississippi's 204. Inland Fishes of Mississippi is for anglers and nature lovers who want to learn more about this thriving diversity. Introductory chapters present the history of the study of fish in Mississippi, the distribution patterns of species, important conservation issues, and valuable information on identifying fish by examining body shape and structure. Following these are illustrated keys to all the families of fish known to inhabit inland waters. Each key is a detailed guide to identifying the specific species within a family of fish. Keys include: color photographs of freshly collected examples meanings of scientific names for fish descriptions of color and physical changes maximum sizes of fish, including records for game fish precise maps of distribution vital information on habitat requirements, feeding, and behavior tips on where to catch a species status of conservation efforts For both the casual angler and the ichthyologist, Inland Fishes of Mississippi will prove a constant resource and an irreplaceable asset for identifying, observing, and catching the state's various species. Stephen T. Ross is professor of biological sciences and Curator of Fishes at the University of Southern Mississippi. The editor for ecology and ethology of Copeia, he has also published articles in numerous journals such as American Naturalist, Environmental Biology of Fishes, and Transactions of the American Fisheries Society.
