Bibliography on Reservoir Fishery Biology in North America


Book Description

This bibliography on reservoir fishery biology comprises 1,210 references under 14 general subject headings. Within subject categories, citations are arranged alphabetically by authors, without cross-indexing or multiple iisting. The references include many graduate theses and dissertations, mimeographed State fishery agency administrative reports, and Federal Aid job completion reports concerning reservoirs.




Inland Fisheries Management in North America


Book Description

"The book covers fishery assessments, habitat and community manipulations, and common practices for managing stream, river, lake, and anadromous fisheries. Chapters on history; ecosystem management; management processes; communications with the public; introduced, undesirable, and endangered species; and the legal and regulatory frameworks provide the context for modern fisheries management."

Changes in the Fish Population of Lewis and Clark Lake, 1956-74, and Their Relation to Water Management and the Environment


Book Description

Water management of the Lewis and Clark Lake for flood control, hydroelectric power, navigation, and other purposes affected fish population levels. Fluctuating water levels in May and June affected fish spawning and survival of young. Suggested management measures may improve sport fish abundance, such as construction of spawning and nursery ponds near the reservoir or maintenance of higher water levels during May and June to enhance the reproduction opportunities for desirable species are either too costly or inconsistent with the primary flood-control function of the reservoir. Fish abundance with the present water management regimen will probably remain similar to that of the early 1970's.







Effects of Post-impoundment Shore Modifications on Fish Populations in Missouri River Reservoirs


Book Description

In the Missouri River main stem reservoirs in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, hydrodynamic processes have decreased the lengths of shorelines and changed their configurations during the first 20 to 25 years of impoundment. Physical changes to the shore probably influenced fish abundance and species composition by changing the quality and quantityt of spawning and nursery habitat.
