Fall lake surveys for larval Walleye (<i>Sander </i><i>vitreus</i>) show a decline in natural recruitment for populations in the northern third (Ceded Territory) of Wisconsin dating back to the early 1980s. Relationships between age-1 mortality and age-0 CPE show that mortality of age-1 Walleye was highly variable at low age-0 abundance. At high age-0 abundance, mortality of age-1 fish was consistently high, implying a compensatory relationship between age-0 abundance and age-1 Walleye mortalit

|
March 2019
|
Natural reproduction in Pallid Sturgeon has been limited for decades and a recruitment bottleneck is hypothesized to occur during the larval stage of development. This study found that water velocity and water temperature significantly affect survival of Pallid Sturgeon larvae. Thus, manipulation of these habitat features can have important implications for habitat restoration and management of sturgeon.

|
Length-based regulations are a common tool that fisheries managers use to manipulate fish stocks by limiting harvest mortality and regulating the size of fish harvested. However, due to catch-and-release angling associated with length-based regulations, hooking mortality can negatively impact a fishery. Results from this study indicate that hooking mortality needs to be considered when implementing length-based regulations, especially in lakes where Walleye angling occurs at depths greater th

This study stemmed from previous research that showed significant predation by Northern Pike on stock-size Rainbow Trout (9-11"). To reduce pike predation, larger trout were stocked beginning in in 2016. Using stable isotope analysis we showed that stocking larger trout significantly reduced pike predation, as only large and relatively few pike (>700 mm) were able to consume larger trout.

|
February 2021
|
We evaluated diets among stocked Rainbow Trout from three small Black Hills reservoirs to examine seasonal diet composition. Temporal changes in stocked Rainbow Trout diets differed by lake, suggesting that adaptation to natural prey items is likely influenced by environmental conditions such as prey availability. Our findings reveal that the ability of hatchery-reared Rainbow Trout to switch to natural prey may be a function of trout size and available prey composition and abundance.

Adult brown trout (Salmo trutta; >200 mm) in upper Rapid Creek, South Dakota have declined by approximately 70% and currently, the factors influencing survival are poorly understood. In this study, we examined trout survival and movement in three stream reaches that inlcuded (1) in-stream habitat improvement, (2) mink removal, or (3) a control site. Eight brown trout from each section were surgically implanted with radio transmitters and tracked for six months. Preliminary observations reveal

January 2019
|
Recent work by Davis et al. (2016) has shown that predation by mink (Mustela vison) accounts for up to 32% of brown trout mortality in Rapid Creek, with over 83% of mink-related predation events occurring during the spring. Limited refuge habitat (e.g., deep pools) combined with high water clarity in Rapid Creek may enhance capture and foraging success by mink on adult trout. In this study, we use radio-telemetry to quantify mink predation on Brown Trout from three study areas: 1) a habitat im

Lake Sharpe is a large reservoir on the Missouri River that is a popular destination for Walleye anglers. However, gillnet catches of Walleyes frequently exhibit high, annual variation prompting concern that catch rate may be poorly related to population abundance. To address this question, we use acoustic telemetry monitor seasonal movement and site fidelity of tagged walleye. Results of this study highlight patterns of fish residency that will be helpful for walleye management and sampling.

|
Differences in early life characteristics are critical for understanding reproductive success in shovelnose and pallid sturgeon. Shovelnose sturgeon larvae generally settle out of the drift earlier than pallid sturgeon larvae and begin feeding on benthic invertebrates. Quicker settling times, shorter drift distances, and earlier feeding may explain what natural reproduction by shovelnose sturgeon is more successful than that observed for pallid sturgeon in the Missouri River.

Wetlands are productive habitats that often provide abundant food sources and rearing habitat for fish. In this study, we evaluated wetland use by Walleye and found that fish collected in the wetland (n=27) had fewer empty stomachs (22% empty) and greater mean diet weight (11.4 g) compared to Walleye collected in the lake (n=46) at 33 % empty and 3.9 g, respectively.

Variable climate conditions, such as droughts and flooding, impose challenges to managing fisheries resources. Using information from long-term creel data and the biophysical environment from Lake Oahe, South Dakota we developed a model for predicting angler use. Model parameters included a harvest regulation index, mean condition of harvested Walleye, mean prey abundance in the reservoir, and summer water surface elevation in the lake. Time-series data showed greater variability in annual w
