An assessment of the transferability of habitat suitability criteria for smallmouth bass, Micropterus dolomieu
The purpose of this study was to determine if habitat suitability criteria developed in the summer months for sma11mouth bass were transferable among streams representing different eco regions. Habitat suitability criteria were developed for depth, mean column velocity, cover and substrate for two …

Impact of localized harvest on the population of smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) of Lake Moomaw, Virginia
Lake Moomaw, a 1,024-ha flood control reservoir in Bath and Allegheny counties, Virginia contains a migratory population of smallmouth bass that congregate in the headwaters of the reservoir during the spring spawning period, where they are vulnerable to a shore-based, harvest-oriented fishery. The …

The impact of alien invasive smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) on the indigenous fish of the Rondegat River : a quantitative assessment with implications for rehabilitation
… fishes. The North American smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu Lacepede) has long been regarded by nature conservators as the most threatening invasive species, and much anecdotal and survey data suggests that this species has had a major role in the depletion and extirpation of indigenous …

Analysis of the impact of flathead catfish predation on the abundance of four centrarchid species
… redbreast sunfish L. auritus, smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu, and spotted bass M. punctulatus. A bioenergetics model was used to estimate the number of age-l and older centrarchids consumed annually by the flathead catfish population. These estimates were then compared to estimated …

Comparative resource use by two species of black bass in riverine and impounded sections of the New River, Virginia
Two species of black bass, smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu and spotted bass Micropterus punctulatus, are sympatric in both riverine and impounded sections of the New River, Virginia. Resource use (habitat and diet) by the two species was investigated to determine patterns and extent of …

An ecological evaluation of an urban stream restoration in West Chicago, Illinois
… between the streams; however, Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu) were found in significantly higher numbers on the West Branch. My study indicates that there were some positive effects of the restoration, but also that pre- and post-restoration data together would allow for deeper insights …

Characterizing a Hidden Fishery: Setline Fishing in the New River, Virginia
… few walleye Sander vitreus, smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu, and muskellunge Esox masquinongy. Estimated by-catch of these species by setline fishers is small compared to catch by hook-and-line anglers, though walleye experienced high setline hooking mortality, and catch rates increased …

Evaluating the effects of angler behavior on the efficacy of harvest regulations in recreational fisheries
… was demonstrated with data on a smallmouth bass, Micropterus dolomieu, fishery for the upper and lower James River, Virginia. Simulated regulations were assessed based on adjustments to angler non-compliance, which averaged based on adjustments to angler non-compliance, which averaged 17 percent, …
