Effects of shoreline development and freshwater discharge on nekton assemblage and trophic structure in a northern Gulf of Mexico estuary
… ecosystem functions but are threatened by shoreline development and climate change. Therefore, coastal ecosystem managers have begun incentivizing the use of living shorelines (LS), erosion control structures incorporating native plantings, to mitigate ecological consequences of marsh loss. …

Seasonal Use of Missouri River Reservoir Deltas by Fishes
… the limited amount of information regarding the development of these habitats and their use by fishes, I studied recent changes in the littoral habitats of reservoirs on the Missouri River and collected fishes in deltas habitats. I focused on two research topics during this study: 1) recent …

Evaluation of Smallmouth Bass Introductions in South Dakota Lakes
… related to reproductive success. Lakes with low shoreline development tended to have less potential for reproductive success. However, shoreline development may not be a limiting factor if rock/boulder substrates are already minimal. Potential competition for food may exist between young-of-year …

The use of habitat classification and mapping of the threatened flattened musk turtle in the shoreline management of Smith Lake, Alabama
… classification system indicating suitability of shoreline for the federally threatened flattened musk turtle (Sternotherus depressus). The shoreline of Smith Lake was visually assessed by a biologist familiar with S. depressus. Segments of shoreline were designated "Good", "Moderate" or "Poor" …

Assessing the Sustainability of Fish Communities in Glacial Lakes: Habitat Inventories and Relationships Between Lake Attributes and Fish Communities
… The range of maximum depths was 2.8 m to 4.9 m. Shoreline development indices ranged from 1.4 to 4.5. There was between 15.9% and 66.7% cropland in Hydrologic Units associated with the study lakes. Total phosphorous levels ranged from 0.01 ppm to 0.46 ppm. Trophic State Indices based on …

Changes in Diatom Assemblages in Adirondack (NY, USA) Reference Lakes Since Pre-Industrial Times
… using the following selection criteria: <5% shoreline development; a circumneutral pH; and no records of introduction of non-native piscivores (protecting against eutrophication, chronic lake acidification and modifications of trophic structure, respectively). As such, these ‘reference’ lakes …

Structure, Dynamics, and Movement Patterns for Crappies in South Dakota Waters
… index (RSI) values were best correlated with shoreline development index and watershed: lake area ratio. Growth was inversely correlated with catch per unit effort (CPUE) and was positively correlated with condition by size category. Condition and CPUE were the only independent variables that …

Space Use by Piscivorous Birds, Fish, and Humans on a Multi-Use Lake in Southern Saskatchewan
… resource in a dry landscape. Recreational development and use of lakes, as well as industrial and agricultural uses, may alter habitat and water quality. Consequently, it is important to understand how economically important fish species (walleye Sander vitreus; northern pike Esox Lucius; …

EPIBENTHIC INVERTEBRATES AND JUVENILE CHUM SALMON (ONCORHYNCHUS KETA) PREY AVAILABILITY ALONG AN ECO-ENGINEERED SHORELINE: A CASE STUDY AT THE SEAWALL IN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
Shoreline development can alter coastal processes resulting in habitat loss and species assemblage shifts, but eco-engineered enhancements, or modifications to hard structures that mimic or support ecological processes, may improve ecosystem functioning and benefit shoreline dependent species. …

Caring for place : factors influencing property management approaches among shoreline landowners on Kootenay Lake, BC
Residential development on freshwater lakeshores can negatively impact water quality and biodiversity. On Kootenay Lake in southeastern British Columbia, shoreline properties are increasingly being managed in ways that may contribute to loss of biodiversity, including through activities such as …
