A mesocosm investigation of the effects of quagga mussels (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) on Lake Michigan zooplankton assemblages
TL;DR: Results from small-scale experiments are confirmed and demonstrates that quagga mussels can alter zooplankton communities at mesoscales (~ 1000 L), possibly through a combination of direct consumption and resource depletion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of an invasive fish barrier for the long‐term recovery of native fish assemblages in a previously degraded northeastern Illinois River system
TL;DR: The authors evaluated the potential consequences of a proposed barrier on the Illinois River Waterway, meant to inhibit the spread of silver and bighead carps, to the continued recovery of native fishes in the Des Plaines River following water quality improvements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracking the Trajectory of Change in Large River Fish Communities Over 50 Y
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a long-term electrofishing monitoring dataset (1957-2013) that includes fish abundance data from six reaches of the Illinois River, Illinois, U.S.A. to identify trends in the fish communities and to characterize the community trajectory (i.e., directional or non-directional) using nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Population demographics are used by biologists and managers to determine the quality of a fishery and set regulations to achieve desired management goals as mentioned in this paper, which can be used to regulate a large river system fishery.
