histopathology of brown bullhead (ameiurus nebulosus), smallmouth bass (micropterus dolomieu), and yellow perch (perca flavescens) in relation to polychlorinated biphenyl (pcb) contamination in the hudson river.	from the 1940s through 1977, at least 590,000kg of polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) were released into the hudson river from general electric manufacturing plants located in hudson falls and fort edward, new york. in 1984, the u.s. environmental protection agency designated a nearly 322km reach as the hudson river pcbs superfund site. here we describe a fish health assessment study, part of a natural resource damage assessment, that evaluated the prevalence of toxicopathic lesions in adult brown ...	2017	27751691
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
distributions of polyhalogenated compounds in hudson river (new york, usa) fish in relation to human uses along the river.	pcbs (as aroclor concentrations) have been extensively examined in fish along the hudson river, but other xenobiotic chemicals in fish have had limited assessment. this study determined concentrations and congener distributions of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (pbdes), polybrominated and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (pbdd/fs and pcdd/fs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) in smallmouth bass and striped bass taken from a 385km reach of the hudson river. concentrations o ...	2011	21742424
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
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
