Growth, Condition, and Trophic Relations of Stocked Trout in Southern Appalachian Mountain Streams

TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY, 148(4), 771–784.

By: J. Fischer n, T. Kwak n , H. Flowers n, W. Cope  n, J. Rash* & D. Besler*

TL;DR: Evaluated the growth, condition, and trophic relations of Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis, Brown Trout Salmo trutta, and Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss that were stocked in southern Appalachian Mountain streams in western North Carolina to provide critical insight on the trophics of stocked trout and may assist in developing and enhancing stream trout fisheries.

Fish Assemblages and Fisheries Resources in Puerto Rico's Riverine Estuaries

MARINE AND COASTAL FISHERIES, 11(2), 189–201.

By: A. Engman n, T. Kwak n , J. Fischer n & C. Lilyestrom*

TL;DR: The results provide the best available information about the spatial variability of assemblages and fisheries resources, which will benefit future conservation and fisheries management efforts, which are needed due to increasing anthropogenic impacts, such as illegal harvest, invasive species, and water diversions.

Puerto Rico Sicydium goby diversity: species-specific insights on population structures and distributions

NEOTROPICAL BIODIVERSITY, 5(1), 22–29.

By: A. Engman n, G. Hogue *, W. Starnes*, M. Raley & T. Kwak n 

author keywords: Gobiidae; amphidromous; Sicydiinae; biodiversity; conservation
TL;DR: Information is revealed on the spatial patterns of distribution, relative abundance, population structure, and observed molecular diversity among Sicydium taxa in Puerto Rico’s river systems that is essential to advance ecological and evolutionary knowledge of Caribbean fish assemblages, guide stream fish conservation, and to effectively manage fisheries.

Behavior and Survival of Stocked Trout in Southern Appalachian Mountain Streams

TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY, 148(1), 3–20.

By: H. Flowers n, T. Kwak n , J. Fischer n, W. Cope  n, J. Rash* & D. Besler*

TL;DR: River-specific differences in emigration and mortality suggested that emigration was a greater source of trout loss than mortality in all rivers; no pattern related to river size was apparent in em migration, but mortality was greater in small streams. (via Semantic Scholar)

Ecology and conservation of the American eel in the Caribbean region

FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AND ECOLOGY, 26(1), 42–52.

By: T. Kwak n , A. Engman n & C. Lilyestrom*

author keywords: Anguilla rostrata; Anguillicoloides crassus; dams; fish distribution; Puerto Rico; river
TL;DR: Realised threats include dams and other migratory barriers, habitat loss and alteration and pollution; exotic species and commercial fishing are impending threats; and the least understood is climate change. (via Semantic Scholar)
