Journal ArticleDOI
The dynamics of crayfish and their role in ecosystems.
TL;DR: In low nutrient lakes, because of their biomass dominance and functional role, crayfish greatly surpass the usual role assigned to them from their occurrence in fish diets and Manipulation of the benthic food chain would seem to be the most appropriate strategy to increase the fish production of such lakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production and Population Dynamics of the Crayfish Orconectes virilis in Three Michigan Lakes
Walter T. Momot,Howard Gowing +1 more
TL;DR: Density-dependent changes in mortality rates controlled population size for adults in all lakes and for young-of-the-year in two of the three study lakes, and the number of females surviving to reproductive age 2 yr later was strongly regulated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Results of an Experimental Fishery on the Crayfish Orconectes virilis
Walter T. Momot,Howard Gowing +1 more
TL;DR: Populations of the crayfish Orconectes virilis were exploited using the Paulik–Bayliff modification of the Ricker model in two small lakes; yields were stable during MSY; yields increased with overexploitation, but growth and recruitment declined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential Seasonal Migration of the Crayfish, Orconectes Virilis (Hagen) in Marl Lakes
Walter T. Momot,Howard Gowing +1 more
TL;DR: Additional observations on O. virilis, during three summers and in three lakes, confirm that this movement of females is a general phenomenon of the species throughout most of its range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mathematical Description of Trout‐Stream Fisheries
TL;DR: A mathematical model of trout-stream fisheries was developed that can be used to evaluate a variety of fishing regulations and found density-dependent mortality was found in the first 2 years of life for each of the two brook trout and three brown trout populations studied in Michigan.
