Download or read book River Floodplain Connectivity and Lateral Fish Passage written by Brian S. Ickes and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Floodplains play a key role in the ecology of the Upper Mississippi River; however, humans have significantly affected the ecological function of floodplains by isolating them from the main stem of the river with levees. Impoundment and channel training within the main stem also influence floodplain function by altering the flow of water through the system. Because of the key role hydrology plays in floodplain ecosystem function, such effects are frequently conceptualized as decreases in lateral connectivity, or the hydrologically mediated lateral exchange of energy, material, and organisms between fluvial and floodplain system components. Some management practices attempt to reestablish periods of lateral connectivity to mitigate functional losses associated with isolation and an altered hydrograph. This report presents a review of scientific literature and synthesis of lateral connectivity as a theoretical and an applied management topic using fish as a point of focus. On the basis of our review of the literature, we recommend a framework for adaptive management of lateral connectivity at several scales within the system and identify data sources that can be used to develop this framework. Specifically, we recommend the development of a time-sequenced geospatial inventory of Upper Mississippi River floodplains. Such an inventory is presently being developed by university researchers investigating changing flood risks in the Mississippi and Missouri River basins. In addition, we highlight the need for high-resolution floodplain elevation data and the development of a detailed life-history database for Upper Mississippi River fishes. Finally, we believe that adaptive management techniques will be critical for developing applied management alternatives for enhancing lateral connectivity and biotic responses in the Upper Mississippi River Basin.

Download or read book The Hydropolitics of Dams written by Mark Everard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hydropolitics of Dams charts the troubled waters of 'heavy engineering' approaches to ecosystem management, exploring the history, benefits and problems of large dams. It then explores diverse ecosystem-based approaches to management of human interactions with the water cycle, concluding that a synthesis of approaches is needed in future. The book also addresses political, economic and legal dimensions of water management. Featuring case studies from China, India and South Africa, this insightful new book argues that there are more appropriate physical and social technologies that can help to sustainably provide access to clean water for all.

Download or read book Fish Passage Through Dams on the Upper Mississippi River written by Daniel B. Wilcox and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The St. Paul District, US Army Corps of Engineers and the US Geological Survey Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center examined the effects of locks and dams (Figure 1) on longitudinal fish movement in the Upper Mississippi River (UMR). The objective of this Long Term Resource Monitoring Program study was to estimate the opportunity for upriver passage through dams by adult migratory fishes. I identified UMR migratory fish species, estimated current velocities through gate openings on UMR dams, compiled information on migration behavior, and estimated the swimming for north performance of UMR migratory fishes. I used this information in combination with river discharge and dam operation records to estimate opportunity for upriver fish passage through the dams. Another objective was to examine the records of fish movements through UMR dams and to determine the head (difference between tailwater and pool water levels) when the fish passed through the dams. These results, reported in an earlier Project Status Report (PSR96 O4), summarized the findings of 126 UMR fish mark-recapture and telemetry studies.

Download or read book Fish Physiology: The Physiology of Tropical Fishes written by Adalberto Luis Val and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-08-18 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Physiology of Tropical Fishes is the 21st volume of the well-known Fish Physiology series and consists of 12 chapters. The purpose of the book is to consolidate and integrate what is known about tropical fishes (marine and freshwater species). The twelve chapters focus on the physiological adaptations acquired during the evolutionary process to cope with warm and shallow hypoxic waters from tropical and neotropical hydrographic basins as well as with the intertidal and coral reef habitats which occur in abundance in tropical seas. The special characteristics of tropical fish fauna will be issued in order to explain the tropical fish radiation, which gave rise to such extreme fish diversity. This present volume, is a voyage through the tropical region reviewing the fish diversity of the main tropical freshwater sheds, including the major tropical rivers and lakes, the major dams, and marine environments. State-of-the-art information on tropical fish physiology Written by specialists working in the Tropics Offers a diverse depiction of the various tropical fishes and the environment where they inhabit 12 innovative chapters covering a concise view of growth rate, biological rhythms, feeding plasticity, cardio-respiratory design and function, diversity of structure, and much more

Download or read book Tropical Stream Ecology written by David Dudgeon and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-05-04 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical Stream Ecology describes the main features of tropical streams and their ecology. It covers the major physico-chemical features, important processes such as primary production and organic-matter transformation, as well as the main groups of consumers: invertebrates, fishes and other vertebrates. Information on concepts and paradigms developed in north-temperate latitudes and how they do not match the reality of ecosystems further south is expertly addressed. The pressing matter of conservation of tropical streams and their biodiversity is included in almost every chapter, with a final chapter providing a synthesis on conservation issues. For the first time, Tropical Stream Ecology places an important emphasis on viewing research carried out in contributions from international literature. First synthetic account of the ecology of all types of tropical streams Covers all of the major tropical regions Detailed consideration of possible fundamental differences between tropical and temperate stream ecosystems Threats faced by tropical stream ecosystems and possible conservation actions Descriptions and synstheses life-histories and breeding patterns of major aquatic consumers (fishes, invertebrates)

Download or read book Geomorphic Approaches to Integrated Floodplain Management of Lowland Fluvial Systems in North America and Europe written by Paul F. Hudson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-29 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a comprehensive perspective on geomorphic approaches to management of lowland alluvial rivers in North America and Europe. Many lowland rivers have been heavily managed for flood control and navigation for decades or centuries, resulting in engineered channels and embanked floodplains with substantially altered sediment loads and geomorphic processes. Over the past decade, floodplain management of many lowland rivers has taken on new importance because of concerns about the potential for global environmental change to alter floodplain processes, necessitating revised management strategies that minimize flood risk while enhancing environmental attributes of floodplains influenced by local embankments and upstream dams. Recognition of the failure of old perspectives on river management and the need to enhance environmental sustainability has stimulated a new approach to river management. The manner that river restoration and integrated management are implemented, however, requires a case study approach that takes into account the impact of historic human impacts to the system, especially engineering. The river basins examined in this volume provide a representative coverage of the drainage of North America and Europe, taking into account a range of climatic and physiographic provinces. They include the 1) Sacramento (California, USA), 2) San Joaquin (California), 3) Missouri (Missouri, USA), 4) Red (Manitoba, Canada and Minnesota, USA), 5) Mississippi (Louisiana, USA), 6) Kissimmee (Florida, USA), 7) Ebro (Spain), 8) Rhone (France), 9) Rhine (Netherlands), 10) Danube (Romania), and 11) Volga (Russian Federation) Rivers. The case studies covered in these chapters span a range of fluvial modes of adjustment, including sediment, channel, hydrologic regime, floodplains, as well as ecosystem and environmental associations.
