Rainbow Trout Cage Culture and Benthic Production in East-Central South Dakota Dugouts
Forty-five cages, encompassing 1.0 m3 of water, distributed between three dugout ponds, were stocked with rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) fingerlings to determine the feasibility of raising annual fish crops. Growth rates were compared between feeding rate (0, 3, and 5% body weight/day [bwt/day]) …

Net Productivity On Artificial Reefs In the Mississippi Sound Estimated From Settlement Plate Measurements
… sites, the main goal of which is to increase the production of economically and recreationally important fish, such as speckled trout, white trout, redfish, and black drum. The success of artificial reefs in meeting this goal depends in part on the quantity of primary and secondary production …

Context-dependent controls of periphyton across the littoral-benthic habitat of deep, clear lakes
Littoral-benthic habitats can play a key role in governing whole ecosystem production within lakes. Typical controls of littoral-benthic production can include light, nutrients, and grazers, although, studies examining production across the photic zone in deep lakes are limited. This study …

Food web regulation under different forcing regimes in shallow lakes
The standing stock and production of organismal biomass depends strongly on the organisms’ biotic environment, which arises from trophic and non-trophic interactions among them. The trophic interactions between the different groups of organisms form the food web of an ecosystem, with the …

Benthic microalgae on the Louisiana inner continental shelf: biomass, distribution, and contribution to benthic food-webs
Phytoplankton and benthic microalgae (BMA) may both contribute to the sediment organic matter pool available to benthic consumers. Recent studies have highlighted the presence and ecological roles of benthic microalgae (BMA) on the continental shelf but studies from the north-central Gulf of Mexico …
