ABSTRACT Objective Barbed sutures have become increasingly favored over traditional smooth in human medicine but remain understudied fisheries biotelemetry applications. Our objectives were to (1) compare surgery time and recovery for Largemouth Bass Micropterus nigricans when using smooth- versus barbed-absorbable close the incisions (2) short-term healing rates of that closed with two sutures. Methods We conducted a surgical trial incision closure methods: suture method, which used three...
Emergent fungal pathogens in herpetofauna are a concern both wild and captive populations. We diagnosed dermatomycosis by Paranannizziopsis australasiensis two panther chameleons (Furcifer pardalis) suspected it eight others captured from an established free-living nonnative population Florida, USA. Chameleons developed skin lesions following recent exposure to cold weather conditions while housed captivity, approximately 10 mo after capture 12 wk being placed outdoor enclosures. Affected...
Length‐weight relationships are useful for stock assessments and modeling alternative conservation management strategies both native non‐native fishes. We developed length‐weight 18 riverine fishes in the lower Red River catchment. Fishes were sampled summer autumn seasons between May 2021 March 2024 via electrofishing gill nets. Measurements each specimen consisted of total length (mm) weight (g). provide L‐W 14 consisting 5 families (Lepisosteidae, Catostomidae, Ictaluridae, Sciaenidae,...
