A decade of monitoring Pool 26 of the Upper Mississippi River sytem: water quality and fish data from the Upper Mississippi River Restoration Environmental Management Program Since 1991, the Illinois Natural History Survey has operated the Great Rivers Field Station, one of six field stations associated with the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) of the Upper Mississippi River Restoration Environmental Management Program. This bulletin presents detailed findings for water quality and fish monitoring from 1994 to 2004 in Pool 26 of the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) collected and analyzed by scientists at the Great Rivers Field Station. We present this information with the goals of 1) demonstrating the value of these data for management of the natural resources of the UMRS, 2) to serve as an easily accessible vehicle for persons searching for information on environmental...

Spatial, temporal, and environmental trends of fish assemblages within six reaches of the Upper Mississippi River System We investigated differences in adult and young-of-the-year (YOY) fishes within each of the six Long Term Resource Monitoring Program study areas, using monitoring data from 1993 to 2001. Our objective was to investigate the relative roles of seasonal, annual, in situ, and physical habitat factors in explaining assemblage structure patterns within the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program study areas. Adult and YOY assemblage structure within each reach was dominated by one to three numerically abundant species. The percent of the total abundance for which these species accounted was 10–88% and varied among age classes and study areas. Physical habitat classes were only weakly associated with differences in fish... Categories: Publication; Types: Map Service, OGC WFS Layer, OGC WMS Layer, OGC WMS Service

Long Term Resource Monitoring Program outpool fisheries analysis: Final report This study was designed to assess whether fi sh community data collected for the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) from six regional trend analysis (RTA) areas of the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) can be used to make inferences to the system as a whole. Spatial coverage of fi sh monitoring for three LTRMP fi eld stations was extended to "outpools" immediately above and below RTA pools 4 and 13 and the Open River Reach from June 15 to October 31, 2000. Also, we sampled Navigation Pools 19 and 20 using LTRMP electrofi shing methodology in September 2000. Multivariate statistical analyses were used to group pools on the basis of fi sh community composition and community structure. Cluster analysis...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
