Download Aquatic Plant Control Research Program: An Ecological Study of Hydrilla in the Potomac River; Waterfowl Segment Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In an attempt to objectively evaluate the ecological role of hydrilla in the Potomac River, a qualitative study was conducted on the use of the plant by waterfowl species. Three study areas were selected along the river where hydrilla was known to grow profusely, and observations were made of waterfowl feeding on the hydrilla or otherwise using the areas. In addition, a small population of captive waterfowl was used in a simplistic study of feeding preference on hydrilla plant material collected along the river. This report gives the results of these studies. In general, from the observations in these studies, it is apparent that hydrilla does provide ecological values important to waterfowl and other water-associated birds. The most obvious use of hydrilla by ducks and geese is direct consumption as food. Some duck species and other birds are no doubt obtaining adequate fish and invertebrate food items from the hydrilla stems, leaves, and interfoliar spaces. These studies, although qualitative for the most part, indicate that the ecological value of hydrilla is probably very well worth further consideration. The potential positive scientific information to be gained is obvious. Keywords: Aquatic weeds; Aquatic plants; Weed control.

Download A Multi-scale Approach to Evaluate the Effect of the Invasive Aquatic Plant Hydrilla (Hydrilla Verticillata) on Littoral Zone Habitat of Juvenile Largemouth Bass (Micropterus Salmoides) Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the hypothesis that exotic macrophytes alter littoral zone habitat and impact fish that inhabit these areas. The pond experiment was conducted to explore impacts of exotic invasive plants on growth and condition of juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). The second experiment was conducted at a smaller scale in aquaria to simulate an invasion of hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata) and its influence on juvenile bass foraging. Fish experienced slower growth in the hydrilla treatment than in the diverse, and the ability of bass to capture prey fish was impeded in hydrilla. Juvenile bass growth decreased in habitats containing hydrilla and is likely a result of increased difficulty in capturing quality prey items such as small fish. Results from the two experiments collectively supported my hypothesis that hydrilla growth altered the littoral zone habitat such that foraging was hindered and resulted in slower growth.
