Through discussions with industry stakeholders, the question was raised about whether stocking larger catfish fingerings could reduce losses associated with Henneguya ictaluri, the myxozoan responsible for proliferative gill disease (PGD). To evaluate this, a collaborative study between the USDA-ARS Warmwater Aquaculture Research Unit, University of Georgia, Mississippi State University, and St. George's University (Granada, West Indies) was conducted. Two sizes of channel catfish fingerlings (40 lbs/1000 [small] and 120 lbs/1000 [large]) were stocked into net pens and placed in commercial catfish ponds with varying levels of PGD activity. Following a 7-day pond exposure, mortality was assessed, and all surviving fish used to evaluate gill damage and sub-lethal effects in relation to H. ictaluri loads in the gill tissue and water samples.Funding for the research comes from USDA-ARS Project 6066-31000-016-000D, and the USDA-ARS-funded Mississippi State University Catfish Health Initiative (Project No. 6066-31320-006-000D).

In this study, blue catfish were sampled from tidal reaches of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland (Nanticoke River, Broad Creek, Marshyhope Creek, and Patuxent River) from March - October and at some sites, during specific times of the year. All fish were analyzed with histology to assess reproductive stage (immature, pre-spawn, and post-spawn) and plasma was collected for multiple endpoints including 17β-estradiol (E2), calcium, and total protein. The histology results showed that the number of vitellogenic, pre-spawn females began to increase in April with the greatest number of individuals observed in May, which gradually declined through July. In males, the greatest number of pre-spawn individuals was observed in April and gradually declined through June. Additionally, female E2 levels showed a trend similar to the histology results, indicating that this plasma endpoint was beneficial for assessing reproductive changes over time. Collectively, these results showed typical spawning patterns observed in blue catfish and future work will need to be done across different watersheds to provide additional data for management purposes.

Acidification has historically impaired Cheat Lake's fish community, but recent mitigation efforts within the Cheat River watershed have improved water quality and species richness. Presently, channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus are abundant and attain desirable sizes for anglers. We evaluated the age, growth and fall diet of the population. A sample of 155 channel catfish was collected from Cheat Lake from 5 August to 4 December 2014, a subsample of which was aged (n = 148) using lapillus otoliths. Four growth models (von Bertalanffy, logistic, Gompertz and power) were fit to length at age data and compared using an information theoretic approach. Fall diets were collected from 55 fish sampled from 13 October to 4 December 2014. Total lengths of individuals in the sample ranged from 154-721 mm and ages ranged from 2-19 years. The von Bertalanffy growth model was AICc -selected as the best approximating model, and the power and Gompertz models also had considerable support. Diets were numerically dominated by Diptera larvae, specifically Chironomidae and Chaoboridae, while 39% of stomachs contained terrestrial food items. This study provides baseline data for management of Cheat Lake's channel catfish population. Further, this study fills a knowledge gap in the scientific literature on channel catfish, as few published studies have examined the population ecology of channel catfish in the Central Appalachian region.

This dataset contains data used in the manuscript "Historic and contemporary use of catfish aquaculture by piscivorous birds in the Mississippi Delta", published in The Condor: Ornithological Applications. All data were collected in northwest Mississippi during winters (October - April) of 2000-2001, 2003-2004, 2015-2016, 2016-2017, and 2017-2018. Two primary types of data are present: 1) roost surveys, and 2) aquaculture cluster surveys. Roost surveys were aerial surveys in which all known double-crested cormorant night roosts in northwest Mississippi were surveyed and cormorants were counted. Roost survey data can be found in the “Cormorant_Roost_Survey_Counts.xlxs” file. For the aquaculture cluster surveys, clusters were defined as U.S. Geological Survey land survey sections that contained aquaculture. For each year of data, a random subset of these clusters were chosen to be aerial surveyed and double-crested cormorants, great blue herons, and great egrets were recorded per cluster. Basic descriptive statistics of the clusters can be found in the “Cluster_Descriptive_Stats.xlxs” file. The “Historic_vs_Contemporary_Cormorants.xlxs” file was used to compare cormorant density on aquaculture clusters between the historic period (2000-2001, 2003-2004) and contemporary period (2015-2016, 2016-2017, and 2017-2018). Lastly, the “Cluster_Survey_Data_Contemporary.xlxs” file contains data recorded during the contemporary period only, and other variables regarding the clusters are also present.
