four new species of gyrodactylus from fishes of alabama.	four new species of gyrodactylus are described from fishes of alabama. gyrodactylus dorosomae was collected from dorosoma cepedianum (le sueur) and d. petenense (gunther); g. parvicirrus from notropis atherinoides raf; g. lythruri from notropis b. bellus hay and n. atrapiculus snelson; and g. nigrum from etheostoma nigrum raf.	1975	1117368
effect of diel period and season on seining effort required to detect changes in lake erie beach fish assemblages.	using beach seining data from lake erie beaches, we examined the effect of diel period and season on two common study objectives considered sensitive to sampling effort: (1) has fish assemblage composition changed between two sampling time periods?, and (2) how many samples are necessary to provide a representative sample of the fish assemblage? across a range of effect sizes and power levels, sample sizes were estimated for species richness, total fish abundance, round goby (neogobius melanosto ...	2009	18491208
myxobolus notropis from emerald shiner, notropis atherinoides rafinesque, in lake superior.		2010	19888924
experimental transmission of vhsv genotype ivb by predation.	preliminary surveillance of wild baitfish during the 2006 viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus genotype ivb (vhsv ivb) outbreaks indicated emerald shiners notropis atherinoides and bluntnose minnow pimephales notatus were infected with high levels of vhsv without showing clinical signs of disease. the movement and use of baitfish was recognized as the most probable vector for the introduction of vhsv to inland waters, such as conesus lake and skaneateles lake in new york, budd lake in michigan, an ...	2013	23998650
experimental infection of koi carp with viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus type ivb.	viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (vhsv) type ivb has a wide host range that includes at least three cyprinid species: fathead minnow pimephales promelas, emerald shiner notropis atherinoides, and bluntnose minnow p. notatus. to date, vhsv ivb has only been found in wild fish. however, the possibility of infection in culture facilities remains. koi carp cyprinus carpio are a major ornamental aquaculture species in the united states; however, their potential to become infected with vhsv ivb has ...	2013	23289973
pathogenesis of spring viremia of carp virus in emerald shiner notropis atherinoides rafinesque, fathead minnow pimephales promelas rafinesque and white sucker catostomus commersonii (lacepede).	spring viremia of carp (svc) is a reportable disease to the world organization of animal health (oie) as it is known to cause significant international economic impact. in canada, the first and only isolation of svc virus (svcv) was in 2006, from common carp cyprinus carpio l., at hamilton harbour, lake ontario. the susceptibility of fathead minnow pimephales promelas rafinesque, emerald shiner notropis atherinoides rafinesque and white sucker catostomus commersonii (lacepede) to intraperitoneal ...	2016	26411333
polychlorinated biphenyl bioaccumulation patterns among lake erie lower trophic level consumers reflect species ecologies.	polychlorinated biphenyl (pcb) concentrations were quantified in lower trophic level consumers of the lake erie western basin food web to assess the capacity of pcbs to discriminate among trophically similar species inhabiting different compartments of the same ecosystem. zooplankton were characterized by higher proportions of less chlorinated and hydrophobic homologs relative to zebra mussel (dreissena polymorpha), mayfly (hexagenia limbata) and emerald shiner (notropis atherinoides) samples. p ...	2017	27904926
