Title Exploring Spatial and Temporal Variation within Reservoir Food Webs: Predictions for Fish Assemblages
Creator Garvey, James E Dingledine, Natalie A Donovan, Nicholas S Stein, Roy A
Description In the limnetic zones of small, highly productive reservoirs, young-of-year (YOY) gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum) or threadfin shad (D. petenense) (henceforth, shad) often attain high densities during spring. Environmental factors facilitating early growth and survival of shad plus potential interspecific competition for zooplankton may reduce growth and survival of YOY bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), another common species in reservoirs. We hypothesized that fewer YOY bluegill moving from...
