Exchange of Mirex between Lake Ontario and its Tributaries
… within the lake ecosystem. Two Lake Ontario tributaries were identified as sources of mirex. The Niagara River is the major source of mirex (366 kg) to Lake Ontario, while the Oswego River discharge (224 kg) has been attributed to the Armstrong Cork Company in Volney, NY (Holdrinet et al. …

An Ecotoxicological Assessment of Upper Clinch River Tributaries, Virginia
… the Clinch River. It is hypothesized that the tributaries of the Clinch River deliver a variety of stressors to the mainstem, which may affect the diverse fauna. The aquatic health of 19 upper Clinch River tributaries, Virginia, was assessed via ecotoxicological ratings that indicated the least …

Prioritizing The Upper Clark Fork River Tributaries for Instream Flow Restoration
… including the Upper Clark Fork River and its tributaries. As drought conditions persist or worsen, this issue will become more critical. Public-private partnerships, like the Upper Clark Fork Steering Committee, have formed to monitor the flow of our rivers. In order to assist the Steering …

Effects of Barren Reservoir on Upstream Fish Assemblages of Barren River Tributaries
… that there will be different fish assemblages in tributaries to free flowing streams versus those that are directly connected to the reservoir. We sampled 17 sites in the Barren River system in South-Central Kentucky in which there is a flood control reservoir. Sites were categorized as fragmented …

The Relative Contribution of Hudson River Tributaries to River Herring Spawning Dynamics
… of supplemental fish passage within tributaries of the Hudson River. Gravid female river herring were sampled from the main stem of the Hudson River through the use of haul seines for post-mortem ovary analysis. Auto-enumeration of ovary egg contents using an Epson Perfection V19 …

American Eel Distibution and Growth in Selected Tributaries of the James River
In July of 1999, a team of researchers from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) and the United States Forest Service (USFS) electrofished a 2-km reach of Shoe Creek, Virginia, and captured 66 American eels. Eels were weighed (g) and measured (mm) and 61 individuals were …

Measuring the production of migratory Westslope Cutthroat Trout in tributaries to Priest River, Idaho
… The goal of our study was to determine which tributaries to the lower Priest River are producing the most migratory WCT by locating their most likely stream of origin by genetic assignment. We expanded onto an existing genetic baseline of the CFPOR by collecting an additional 8 reference …

Controls on the Formation of Algal Blooms in the Lower Chesapeake Bay and Its Tributaries
… occur seasonally in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, and while the consequences of algal blooms have been qualitatively and quantitatively assessed, the causes of algal blooms and mechanisms of bloom initiation are still not well understood despite decades of research. In order to …

Bacterial Assemblages And Microbial Enzyme Activity In The Major Tributaries Of The Lower Mississippi River
… structure of bacterial assemblages of the major tributaries to the lower Mississippi River using high throughput ion torrent pgm sequencing of the 16s rrna gene, and the function of these communities using assays of extracellular enzyme activity. A total of 715,120 valid bacterial 16s rrna …

Abandoned Mine Land Impacts on Tributaries in the Upper Yakima River Watershed, Eastern Cascades, Washington
… effects of nine AMLs on water quality in four tributaries to the Yakima River. Archival work was conducted to determine sites that were mined and contained a mill. Each site was characterized by physical features. Water and sediment samples were collected above, at, and below each AML. Samples …

Understanding the role of Stylochus ellipticus as a predator of Crassostrea virginica in Chesapeake Bay tributaries
Predation may be a key component of the unsuccessful restoration of the Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica), a former keystone species in Chesapeake Bay. Here, I examine the polyclad flatworm Stylochus ellipticus and its potential role as an important predator of C. virginica. Using …

Growth of Age-0 Atlantic menhaden (BREVOORTIA TYRANNUS) in Two Tidal Freshwater Tributaries of Chesapeake Bay
Few studies have described growth rates of age-0 Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus). Growth rates from tidal freshwater habitats of the Mattaponi and James Rivers, Virginia in 2009 were described and compared using otolith microstructural analyses. Larval tidal freshwater growth rates were …

The effects of nutrients and hydrology on periphyton and phytoplankton in Fraser River tributaries, British Columbia
… were measured in riffle zones of 20 Fraser River tributaries, British Columbia, to examine which factors explain variation in algal biomass and taxonomic composition. July epilithic periphyton chlorophyll a was weakly correlated with TN, while October periphyton was significantly related to DP and …
