fish tissueseafoodBetween 1990 and 1994, samples of three shellfish species (i.e. blue crab, Callinectes sapidus;crayfish, Procambarus acutis; and river shrimp, Macrobrachium ohionii) and 16 fish species and were collected at six sites along the lower Mississippi River by the Louisiana Department...
All three lake types differed in fish assemblage composition. Borrow-pit lakes and riverside oxbow lakes tended to include a greater representation of fish species that require access to diverse environments, including lentic, lotic, and palustrine habitats; fish assemblages in landside oxbow lakes ...
Borrow-pit lakes encompass about a third of the lentic water habitats (by area) in the active floodplain of the Lower Mississippi River, yet little is known about their fish assemblages. We investigated whether fish assemblages supported by borrow-pitlakes resembled those in oxbow lakes to help ...
Future restoration strategies in the LMR should consider dike notching and resultant maintenance of permanent secondary channels in selected river reaches. However, temporary secondary channels also contain unique fish species, and also appear to be important sites of riverine primary production. ...

It also fostered the invasion of two additional species, the amphipod (Echinogammarus ischnus) and the round goby (Neogobius melanostomus), exacerbating ecosystem destabilization (Jackson and Pringle, 2010). Hydrological patterns in the Lower Mississippi River (LMR) floodplain are complex due to ...
