Conservation of endangered fishes commonly includes captive breeding, applied research, and management. Since 1996, a breeding program has existed for the federally threatened California Delta Smelt Hypomesus transpacificus , an osmerid fish endemic to upper San Francisco Estuary. Although this serves as refuge population, with experimental releases being initiated supplement wild it was uncertain how individuals would survive, feed, maintain condition outside hatchery conditions. We...
Abstract Freshwater fishes are increasingly facing extinction. Some species will require conservation intervention such as habitat restoration and/or population supplementation through mass-release of hatchery fish. In California, USA, a number strategies underway to increase abundance the endangered Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus); however, it is unclear how different estuarine conditions influence The goal this study was evaluate year field deployments inform suitable for smelt...
Early one morning, a scientist collecting fish in the San Francisco Estuary was surprised to find young lamprey. She knew lamprey were ancient without jaws, bones, or scales, and she wondered herself: Where else are estuary? discovered that although existed long before dinosaurs, little is known about their lives estuaries. her team decided gather data from scientists who accidentally caught while studying other animals. This process of reusing unrelated studies, called synthesis, an...
Conservation hatcheries are like luxury fish hotels that raise threatened and endangered nearing extinction in the wild. Raising controlled environment of conservation hatchery usually takes away issues caused population to dwindle first place. However, there is one problem: get used become wimpy, meaning they domesticated do not as well wild if returned natural environment. Managing genes way block domestication close possible fish. In San Francisco Estuary watershed, for delta smelt...
