The Asian clam Corbicula fluminea, an accidental host for the European bitterling Rhodeus amarus by Pfeiffer Michael, Mildner Manuel, Günter Christian Patrick, Leschner Magnus

“…However, there is evidence even for a further expansion of this fish species in the Upper Rhine valley. As this expansion takes place in conjunction with a considerable spread of the non-indigenous freshwater mussel Corbicula fluminea, it is hypothesized that C. fluminea might also serve as a suitable host for R. amarus. …”

Minimizing Adverse Environmental Impact: How Murky the Waters by Reed W. Super, David K. Gordon

“…The withdrawal of water from the nation’s waterways to cool industrial facilities kills billions of adult, juvenile, and larval fish each year. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgation of categorical rules defining the best technology available to minimize adverse environmental impact (AEI) could standardize and improve the control of such mortality. …”

Natural Climate Variability Can Influence Cyanobacteria Blooms in Florida Lakes and Reservoirs by Karl E. Havens, Mark V. Hoyer, Edward J. Phlips

“…They look awful, smell bad, and can poison fish and other animals in the water. To help resource managers considering costly remediation projects or evaluating the effectiveness of nutrient reduction strategies to manage the problem, this 7-page fact sheet presents the results from 15 years of studies observing three large, nutrient-rich lakes in Florida (Lake Harris, Lake George, and Lake Okeechobee) to study the relationship between rainfall and cyanobacteria blooms and learn causes of year-to-year bloom variability. …”

Quantified Hypoxia and Anoxia in Lakes and Reservoirs by Gertrud K. Nürnberg

“…Proven and potential applicability include: (1) the quantification of relationships with lake water quality variables and lake classification (trophic state), (2) the evaluation of restoration techniques with respect to their effects on hypolimnetic oxygen depletion, (3) the determination of internal phosphorus loading in stratified and polymictic lakes, (4) the exploration of habitat constraints due to hypoxia (e.g., fish species richness and winterkill), (5) forecasting potential effects of climatic change on oxygen content and internal phosphorus loading, and (6) the establishment and examination of criteria and guidelines with respect to hypoxia by custom-made definitions.…”
