Age-0 Gizzard Shad Prey Supply and Predator Demand: Analysis of the Trophic Support Capacity of Southern U.S. Reservoirs
Evans, Nathan Thomas (Oklahoma State University, 2009-12-01)Gizzard shad Dorosoma cepedianum, the primary prey in many lakes and reservoirs of the southern U.S., often comprise a majority of the prey biomass in the systems in which they are found. However, they rapidly grow to a ... -

Characteristics of Smallmouth Bass and Ozark Bass Populations in Buffalo National River, Arkansas
Whisenant, Keith Avis (Oklahoma State University, 1984-07-01)This study is concerned with the population characteristics of two principal game fish species, smallmouth bass, Micropterus dolomieui, and Ozark bass, Ambloplites constellatus, inhabiting Buffalo National River. The primary ... -
Contributions to the Life History of Alligator Gar, Atractosteus Spatula (Lacpde), in Oklahoma
Brinkman, Eric L. (Oklahoma State University, 2008-12-01)Alligator gar populations are declining in the southeastern United States and Mexico resulting in efforts by state and federal agencies to actively manage populations. We assessed the life history of the alligator gar ... -
Determination of Fishing and Natural Mortality of White Crappie in Sooner Lake, Oklahoma
Angyal, Robert Kenneth (Oklahoma State University, 1983-12-01)The objective of this project was to determine the fishing and natural mortalities of the white crappie population in a cooling water reservoir. Activities included a literature review, crappie population sampling, and a ... -
Ecology of a reintroduced population of paddlefish, Polyodon Spathula, in Lake Texoma
Patterson, Chas Patrick (Oklahoma State University, 2009-12-01)A reintroduction of paddlefish in Lake Texoma began in 1999 but subsequent annual surveys showed this population below that produced from other similar reintroductions in Oklahoma. To determine the current status of this ... -

Effects of Water Quantity on Fish Assemblage Composition in the Upper Cimarron River
Tanner, Christopher (Oklahoma State University, 2014-12-01)Many prairie streams suffer from altered flow regimes as a result of surface and groundwater extraction for irrigation. Changes in flow regimes can alter resident fish assemblage structure and abundance. To determine the ... -
Exploitation of White Crappie and Associated Species in Sooner Lake, Oklahoma
Glass, Randal Dean (Oklahoma State University, 1982-12-01)The objective of this project was to investigate exploitation of white crappie in a cooling water reservoir. Activities included a literature review, crappie population study, and a creel survey. The project was funded by ... -

Genetic Structure of Spotted Bass ('Micropterus Punctulatus') in the Red River Basin
Coughlin, Warren David (2001-12-01)Mitochondrial DNA sequence variation and allele frequencies for fIve microsatellite DNA loci was used to assess the genetic structur of spotted bass populations in the upper Red, Ouachita, and Arkansas river basins, with ... -
Genetic Variation in Sceloporus Undulatus: Effects of Gene Flow, Isolation, and Selection
Rachuk, Nancy A. (Oklahoma State University, 1987-05-01)The ability of a river to alter gene flow in the lizard Sceloporus undulatus was investigated. The Cimarron River of northern Oklahoma was found not to be a barrier to gene flow but instead may actually facilitate movement ... -
