textrema hopkinsi gen. et sp. n. (digenea: cryptogonimidae) from the largemouth bass of central texas.	textrema hopkinsi gen. et sp. n. is described from micropterus salmoides from central texas. textrema is most similar to the genus multigonotylus but differs in having a single gomotyl. the new genus is placed in the family cryptogonimidae.	1977	870667
environmental contaminants and biomarker responses in fish from the rio grande and its u.s. tributaries: spatial and temporal trends.	we collected, examined, and analyzed 368 fish of seven species from 10 sites on rivers of the rio grande basin (rgb) during late 1997 and early 1998 to document temporal and geographic trends in the concentrations of accumulative contaminants and to assess contaminant effects on the fish. sites were located on the mainstem of the rio grande and on the arroyo colorado and pecos river in texas (tx), new mexico (nm), and colorado. common carp (cyprinus carpio) and largemouth bass (micropterus salmo ...	2005	16227080
largemouth bass virus in texas: distribution and management issues.	in response to fish kills at prominent fishing sites for largemouth bass micropterus salmoides, such as lake fork and sam rayburn reservoir, the texas parks and wildlife department began a systematic evaluation of state waters for the presence of largemouth bass virus (lmbv). the survey comprised 49 water bodies and 13 river basins, and a total of 2,876 adult bass were collected by electrofishing and angling during the summer and fall of 2000. the virus was initially detected by means of cell cu ...	2009	19485124
landscape-level patterns of mercury contamination of fish in north texas, usa.	mercury (hg) is a toxic metal that is found in aquatic food webs and is hazardous to humans. an emerging conceptual model predicts that the areas of the landscape that have the potential to contain food webs with elevated concentrations of hg are those that receive high amounts of hg and sulfate deposition and have high coverage of forests and wetlands and low coverage of agriculture. the objective of the present study was to test this conceptual model using concentrations of hg in largemouth ba ...	2011	21647946
predicted and observed therapeutic dose exceedances of ionizable pharmaceuticals in fish plasma from urban coastal systems.	instream flows of the rapidly urbanizing watersheds and estuaries of the gulf of mexico in texas (usa) are increasingly dominated by reclaimed waters. though ionizable pharmaceuticals have received increasing attention in freshwaters, many research questions remain unanswered, particularly in tidally influenced urban coastal systems, which experience significant spatiotemporal variability in ph that influences bioavailability and bioaccumulation. the authors coupled fish plasma modeling of thera ...	2016	27003720
