occurrence of perfluoroalkyl surfactants in water, fish, and birds from new york state.	concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonate (pfos) and several other perfluoroalkyl surfactants (pass) were determined in nine major water bodies (n = 51) of new york state (nys). these pass were also measured in the livers of two species of sport fish (n = 66) from 20 inland lakes in nys. finally, perfluorinated compounds were measured in the livers of 10 species of waterfowl (n = 87) from the niagara river region in nys. pfos, perfluorooctanoic acid (pfoa), and perfluorohexanesulfonate (pfhs) w ...	2006	16435086
temporal and geographic trends in mercury concentrations in muscle tissue in five species of hudson river, usa, fish.	we analyzed a new york (usa) state database of mercury concentrations in muscle tissue for five species of fish (striped bass, yellow perch, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and carp) over a range of locations in the hudson river (usa) between 1970 and 2004. we used regression models to discern temporal and geographic change in the fish while controlling for a positive correlation between mercury concentration and body mass. mercury concentrations significantly increased in fish from new york h ...	2008	18266478
a survey to determine the presence and distribution of largemouth bass virus in wild freshwater bass in new york state.	during 2004 and 2005 a survey was conducted to investigate the presence and geographic distribution of largemouth bass virus (lmbv) in new york state. this iridovirus is widely distributed across the eastern united states; however, it had not previously been reported in new york state. two hundred and eighty-three wild largemouth bass micropterus salmoides and 8 smallmouth bass m. dolomieu were collected from 37 locations across the state. no clinical signs of lmbv or mortalities attributable to ...	2008	18942592
the bass parasites of oneida lake, 80 years later.	a survey of largemouth (micropterus salmoides) and smallmouth bass (micropterus dolomieu) parasite communities in oneida lake, new york, was conducted in the summer of 2012 and compared to an earlier survey conducted by van cleave and mueller during the summers of 1929 to 1931. the component helminth communities between surveys were 31% similar in composition for largemouth and 28% similar for smallmouth bass. between species, the component helminth communities were considerably more similar in ...	2015	26001048
histologic and molecular characterization of edwardsiella piscicida infection in largemouth bass (micropterus salmoides).	the genus edwardsiella is composed of a diverse group of facultative anaerobic, gram-negative bacteria that can produce disease in a wide variety of hosts, including birds, reptiles, mammals, and fish. our report describes the isolation and identification of edwardsiella piscicida associated with chronic mortality events in 2 separate captive largemouth bass (micropterus salmoides) populations in new york and florida. wet-mount biopsies of skin mucus, gill, kidney, and spleen from several affect ...	2016	26951328
