Predicting how the juvenile life-stages of anadromous Atlantic salmon Salmo salar influence their migration phenology and marine survival.
… wild animals is captured, marked by some form of tag, released, and subsequently resampled. I used a long-term CMR dataset (2005 to present) of the salmon population from the River Frome, southern England, where approximately 10 000 juvenile salmon (known as ‘parr’) are captured throughout the …

Evaluation of Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) Introductions and Re-introductions Into Four Virginia Blue Ridge Mountain Streams
… 134.2 kHz passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag to identify individual fish upon recapture. Trout were present in all streams almost three years post introductions. Catches decreased across the first four surveys. Young of year catch rates severely decreased from June 2009 (n = 77) to …

The effects of temperature, latitudinal origin, and dam escapement on management of muskellunge
… utilize populations with perceived growth advantages for stocking. However, there is little understanding of how stocks, and populations within stocks, may vary in their physiological tolerance to thermal stress and the implications when relocating fish. In the first study I examined thermal …

Small water, big potential: farm ponds and their potential for native fish conservation
… as potential habitat for native species despite their ubiquity across many human altered landscapes. Farm ponds intermittently connect to streams during floods allowing species exchanges to and from these novel habitats. In 2014, a farm pond on Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve (TAPR) was …

Sampling methodology tradeoffs: evaluating monitoring strategies for the endangered humpback chub (Gila cypha) in the Little Colorado River, Arizona
… a passive detection system (i.e. full duplex PIT tag antenna array) was implemented in the LCR. With the addition of the array, this afforded an opportunity to evaluate sampling methodology tradeoffs between hoop-netting and array detections. Thus, using simulation analysis, and demographic …

Bayesian population dynamics modeling to guide population restoration and recovery of endangered mussels in the Clinch River, Tennessee and Virginia
… and Swan Island. Passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags were applied in my fieldwork to monitor the translocation efficiency of E. capsaeformis and Actinonaias pectorosa at Cleveland Islands (CRM 270.8). Hierarchical Bayesian models were developed to address the individual variability and …

Survival, Abundance, and Relative Predation of Wild Rainbow Trout in the Deerfield Reservoir System, South Dakota
… using 12 mm passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags which showed that within and among stream movement was minimal throughout our study. We tagged 380 Rainbow Trout and in subsequent sampling events recaptured 81 unique fish using backpack electrofishing. Of these 81 fish only 3 were …

Recovery From and Effects of a Catastrophic Flood and Debris Flow on the Brook Trout (<i>Salvelinus fontinalis</i>) Population and Instream Habitat of the Staunton River, Shenandoah National Park, VA
The Staunton River is a high gradient, second order stream approximately 6 km in length located on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Shenandoah National Park, VA. In June 1995, a catastrophic flood and debris flow altered the instream habitat and <i>Salvelinus fontinalis</i> …

Propagation and monitoring of freshwater mussels released into the Clinch and Powell rivers, Virginia and Tennessee
… suitability because the free-released mussels (untagged, tagged) had low catchability. Mussels released at Horton Ford, Clinch River, exhibited significantly faster growth. Horton Ford is the most suitable site, while environmental conditions at Fugate Ford, Powell River, are deemed unsuitable for …
