Fitzgerald, Alexandra Marie

Although watershed land use effects on in-stream fish habitat and fish-macrohabitat associations have been widely studied in the past, low-gradient, coastal Louisiana streams have been poorly described in the literature. In this thesis, I report the results of a two-year study exploring relationships among regional land use, in-stream physical habitat, and headwater stream fish assemblages. In chapter two, I examined in-stream habitat variables such as depth, flow, and substrate combined with th...

A mesocosm experiment was conducted in Lake Eymir between June &ndash / September 2009 in order to elucidate the effects of water level changes and fish predation on periphyton growth and macroinvertebrates in semi-arid shallow lakes. Twenty four cylindrical enclosures, each with 1.2 m diameter, open to lake bottom and atmosphere, were placed at three different depths, i.e. 0.8 m (low water level, LW), 1.6 m (high water level, HW) and 2.3 m (however, data regarding the enclosures at 2.3 m were ...

Four-month mesocosm experiment from June 1st to September 25th, 2009, was conducted to determine the effect of water level dierence in combination with fish predation pressure, on submerged macrophyte development, in an eutrophic shallow lake. Effect of water level fluctuation was simulated by placing enclosures to the different water depths that included 0.8 m, 1.6 m and 2.3 m on Lake Eymir. These enclosures having a cylindirical shape and 1.2 m diameter, were open to sediment and atmosphere in...

Predation is one of the important selective factors that regulate the species composition of benthic invertebrate communities. The study objective was to investigate the invertebrate distribution in two contrasting habitats in Lake Takern, southern Sweden, submerged Chara vegetation and emergent Phragmites australis vegetation, and to investigate the influence of predation from fish on certain invertebrates. Laboratory studies were used to estimate handling time and the intake rate (mg/sec) by t...

Protein with essential amino acids is required for recovering, repairing, and building muscles after intensive exercise. A powder produced with egg white (EW) (high quality protein) and fish oil (menhaden (Brevoortia patronus) (MO) oil or salmon oil (SO)) with high DHA and EPA content should be particularly beneficial for athletes. The objective of this study was to develop microencapsulated omega-3 fatty acids fortified EW powders. Two stable emulsions were prepared with 3.43% (MO) or (SO), 56....

My research focused on how fish communities are responding to watershed land use and instream habitat in tributaries of the Lower Bogue Chitto River. To address this question I electrofished and seined 10 sites in four tributaries of the Bogue Chitto River a total of 4 times each over the course of 15 months in 2007 and 2008. I characterized habitat by measuring water flow, water depth, substrate size, woody debris, temperature, and dissolved oxygen, and quantified heterotrophic plate counts, nu...

Matrix projection models and individual-based models (IBM) are commonly used for the analysis and management of fish populations. Matrix models break down the population into age or stage classes, while IBMs track individuals. I perform a series of quantitative comparisons between the predictions of the two modeling approaches using the IBM as the standard of comparison to demonstrate when individual variation, species interactions, and spatial heterogeneity adversely affect matrix model perform...

This study is mainly intended to determine quantitatively the economic effects of crawfish imports on the domestic crawfish industry. Inverse demand systems are used to estimate the price and scale flexibility as an indicator for the effects of imports on crawfish domestic price. A variety of algebraic forms for empirical consumer allocation models have been developed. Economic theory, however, does not provide the necessary fundamental criteria to choose ex ante among the alternative specificat...

The acute cellular responses to DNA damaging agents are critical in determining the long term outcome of disease. A cell’s susceptibility to damage, or its capacity to remove or repair this damage, all contributes to the eventual health or disease of tissues. This process is especially crucial in colonic epithelial cells and in the development of colorectal oncogenesis. The colonic lumen is constantly subjected to different environmental compounds that may have genotoxic properties that can i...

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the beneficial effects which the consumption of fish oil imparts on hemostatic function can be modified by the level of dietary selenium. Male Sprague Dawley rats were fed for eight weeks semipurified diets containing 7% corn oil (by weight) or 5.5% fish oil (MaxEPA) plus 1.5% corn oil with or without selenium supplementation. The indicators of selenium status (glutathione peroxidase activity and selenium level) were significantly lower in the...

A novel method for isolating fish proteins by shifting pH to high acid or high alkali pH was the focus of the study. Biochemical and physicochemical properties of various pH-treated soluble fish proteins as a function of ionic strength were determined. Effect of ionic strength and various storage conditions on gelation properties and stabilization of fish protein isolate (FPI) were also elucidated. At low ionic strength (IS 10 mM NaCl), the solubility of Pacific whiting (PW) proteins was low bet...

Protein solubility of Pacific whiting muscle with isoelectric point at pH 5.5 was significantly affected by pH. The highest breaking force was measured from fish proteins treated at pH 11, while high deformation values were obtained at pH 2 and 11. Texture of gels made using the conventional method were quite inferior to gels made using fish proteins treated at pH 2 or 11, while color of conventional gels was significantly better than the other treatments. SDS-PAGE revealed that fish proteins we...

In the present study, the potential of low-melting point lipids, namely methyl palmitate (MP) and menhaden stearine (MS), were studied for delivery of water-soluble materials to fish larvae. Addition of the solid emulsifier, sorbitan monopalmitate (SMP) resulted in higher RE compared to the liquid emulsifier sorbitan sesquioleate (SSO). Additions of SMP were found to have a positive effect on the stability of lipid spray beads (LSB) at concentrations >10% (w/w) of lipid. LSB were shown to retain...

The objectives of this study are to revise and reformulate a previous simulation model of the Calapooia River and proposed Holley Dam project and to critically investigate the anadromous fish enhancement function of the project. The Corps of Engineers proposes a 145,000 acre-foot reservoir for the Calapooia River at Holley, Oregon. Previously, a 97,000 acre-foot reservoir was proposed. The larger project's justification is based mainly on anadromous fish enhancement. Investigation revealed that ...

Bacterial histamine formation in mackerel and albacore was studied by inducing histamine in the muscles under controlled storage conditions. The optimum temperature for histamine formation was 25°C. The highest level of histamine detected was 283 mg/100 g in the 2-day stored mackerel; and 67.1 mg/100 g in the 6-day stored albacore. To identify the bacteria crucial to histamine formation, histamine formers were isolated using the conventional culture method. Enteric bacteria were most frequently ...

The composition and distribution of fish assemblages was examined in a floodplain lake system in the Amazon basin. Quantitative samples were collected during the 1992-1993 flooding season at Marchantaria Island, Solimoes River. A total of 25,819 specimens representing 8 orders, 30 families, 101 genera and 139 species of fish were collected. Analysis of species richness distribution among 7 vegetation strata showed that vegetated sites had higher species richness than unvegetated sites. Stands of...

Seasonally, in 1998 and 1999, I examined spatial and temporal variation in fish assemblages of agricultural, forested, and acid mine drainage tributaries within the Wayne National Forest (WNF) in southern Ohio. Land use and natural disturbance explained patterns in stream fish assemblages. Creek chub and green sunfish were present in all land use types. Generally, with the exception of creek chub and green sunfish, species most abundant in one land use type occurred infrequently in the other lan...

The Arctic has long been considered to be a pristine environment, far from population centers and pollution sources. The detection of synthetic organochlorine compounds in various elements of the Arctic food web has confirmed the global dispersion of pollutants, particularly of persistent compounds such as organochlorines and heavy metals. Levels of heavy metals, although elevated, appear to be naturally so throughout much of the Arctic. Arctic pollution is both a humanitarian and ecological con...

For a long time, fish is regarded as an important food source beneficial for human health. But there’s nowadays an increasing concern of fish consumption for increasing existence of mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg), which can be accumulated upon fish intake and pose health threats to human.  It is suggested that children and pregnant women are more vulnerable to effects due to accumulation of Hg. There have been continuous efforts done by governments and researchers all over the world, e.g....

The financial crises and global change have caused setbacks to the improvements in many undeveloped countries. To be able to achieve the ‘Millennium developmental goals’ within 2015, it will require a higher effort. Sub-Saharan African countries show the slowest economic growth and have experienced the highest setbacks. Malawi is one of these countries and is struggling with a high share of poverty and poverty related issues. Trade is believed to be the most prominent tool to fight world poverty...

The A segment of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is expressed as a polyprotein encoding three primary gene products, VP2, NS and VP3, from a large open reading frame. The nucleotide sequence for the A segment of the Sp isolate of IPNV was determined. The NS protein is the putative autocatalytic proteinase responsible for the cleavage of the polyprotein. The functional boundaries of the NS proteinase were mapped by plasmid deletion analysis and examined in an La vitro, translation sys...

Little is known about the virulence factors of Renibacterium salmoninarum, the causative agent of salmonid bacterial kidney disease. The predominant protein produced by R. salmoninarum in broth culture or during infection is a 57/58 kDa protein (p57) which is associated with strain virulence. In this study monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to p57 were developed and used as tools to antigenically characterize and quantify the protein. Monoclonal antibodies 4D3 and 2G5 recognize p57 and appear to be sp...

Maternal and child undernutrition are a significant problem in the developing world, with serious consequences for human health and socio-economic development. In Cambodia, 55% of children, 43% of women of reproductive age, and 50% of pregnant women are anemic. Current prevention and control practices rely on supplementation with iron pills or large-scale food fortification, neither of which are affordable or feasible in rural Cambodia. In the study areas, 97% of women did not meet their daily i...
