Carp, Climate, and Water Quality: Applying Systems Modeling to Ecosystem Recovery in Malheur Lake

Creator:

Pearson, James B.

Abstract:

Shallow lakes exist in either a clear or turbid state, with the clear state characterized by an abundance of aquatic macrophytes, diverse aquatic biota, low water column nutrients and phytoplankton biomass, whereas the turbid state is characterized by the opposite. These two distinct states are maintained by reinforcing (positive) feedback...

Factors influencing population density of stream-living Redband Trout in southeast Oregon, USA

Creator:

Thorson, Justin M.

Abstract:

Fisheries managers often use models of population density to evaluate the status of stream-living fishes, but many of these models have low predictive performance for abundance and density. These models could incorporate several factors that can limit population density, particularly the effect of body size, envisioned by the theory of...
