Triploid Grass Carp were purported to have a mean life span of about 11 years based on otolith‐assigned ages and mortality estimates for fish associated with large stocking efforts through which aquatic plants were eliminated. Recent studies in aquatic systems where preferred foods were not eliminated have found that Grass Carp may live up to 30 years or more, but information about growth and mortality is lacking. About 130,000 Grass Carp have been stocked since 1995 to manage hydrilla in combination with fluridone application in Lake Gaston, Virginia–North Carolina, USA. Hydrilla coverage peaked at about 1,300 ha in 2003 and was reduced to about 130 ha by 2014. Since 2006, a total of 419 Grass Carp have been collected for age and growth analysis. A Bayesian approach was used to estimate von Bertalanffy growth function parameters that incorporated the effects of a linear trend in year, hydrilla abundance, or Grass Carp density and to assess population changes. Fish that were stocked in 1995 persisted through 2017. Mean maximum length (L∞) of Grass Carp decreased by about 200 mm with an increasing number of Grass Carp per hectare of hydrilla, and fish reached maximum size earlier in life. Indirect mortality estimates derived from growth parameters increased with Grass Carp density. Because preferred food availability affects mortality rates, stocking numbers should vary accordingly to maximize the effectiveness of hydrilla control programs.}, number={2}, journal={NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT}, author={Caves, Stradder and Baumann, Jessica R. and Stich, Daniel S.}, year={2021}, month={Apr}, pages={355–365} } @article{crandall_baumann_cooney_croteau_croxton_flaherty-walia_kerns_kraus_morales_2021, title={How to Be an Ally to Women in Fisheries Science}, volume={46}, ISSN={["1548-8446"]}, DOI={10.1002/fsh.10565}, abstractNote={FisheriesVolume 46, Issue 3 p. 140-144 Essay How to Be an Ally to Women in Fisheries Science Chelsey Crandall, Corresponding Author Chelsey Crandall crandallchelsey@gmail.com School of Forest Resources and Conservation, University of Florida, Newins-Zieglar Hall, Gainesville, FL, 32611Search for more papers by this authorJessica Baumann, Jessica Baumann Aquatic Weed Program, NC State Extension, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NCSearch for more papers by this authorPatrick Cooney, Patrick Cooney The Fisheries Blog, Camas, WASearch for more papers by this authorAmanda Croteau, Amanda Croteau School of Forest Resources and Conservation, University of Florida, Gainesville, FLSearch for more papers by this authorApril Croxton, April Croxton First Vice President, American Fisheries Society, Bethesda, MDSearch for more papers by this authorKerry Flaherty-Walia, Kerry Flaherty-Walia Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, St. Petersburg, FLSearch for more papers by this authorJanice Kerns, Janice Kerns Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve, Huron, OHSearch for more papers by this authorRichard Kraus, Richard Kraus Norwalk, OHSearch for more papers by this authorNia Morales, Nia Morales Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, University of Florida, Gainesville, FLSearch for more papers by this author Chelsey Crandall, Corresponding Author Chelsey Crandall crandallchelsey@gmail.com School of Forest Resources and Conservation, University of Florida, Newins-Zieglar Hall, Gainesville, FL, 32611Search for more papers by this authorJessica Baumann, Jessica Baumann Aquatic Weed Program, NC State Extension, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NCSearch for more papers by this authorPatrick Cooney, Patrick Cooney The Fisheries Blog, Camas, WASearch for more papers by this authorAmanda Croteau, Amanda Croteau School of Forest Resources and Conservation, University of Florida, Gainesville, FLSearch for more papers by this authorApril Croxton, April Croxton First Vice President, American Fisheries Society, Bethesda, MDSearch for more papers by this authorKerry Flaherty-Walia, Kerry Flaherty-Walia Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, St. Petersburg, FLSearch for more papers by this authorJanice Kerns, Janice Kerns Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve, Huron, OHSearch for more papers by this authorRichard Kraus, Richard Kraus Norwalk, OHSearch for more papers by this authorNia Morales, Nia Morales Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, University of Florida, Gainesville, FLSearch for more papers by this author First published: 03 December 2020 https://doi.org/10.1002/fsh.10565Citations: 1Read the full textAboutPDF ToolsRequest permissionExport citationAdd to favoritesTrack citation ShareShare Give accessShare full text accessShare full-text accessPlease review our Terms and Conditions of Use and check box below to share full-text version of article.I have read and accept the Wiley Online Library Terms and Conditions of UseShareable LinkUse the link below to share a full-text version of this article with your friends and colleagues.
