Various fish species as biological control agents for the dark rice field mosquito in Arkansas rice fields
During the summers of 1972–73, 10 fish species were evaluated as predators against larvae of the dark rice field mosquito, Psorophora confinnis (Lynch-Arribalzaga), near Stuttgart, Ark. Stocking rates were 0.02, 0.03, and 0.06 fish/ft 2 . At the lowest stocking rate green sunfish, Lepomis cyanellus Rafinesque, reduced larval numbers by 89.7% and were significantly more effective than adult mosquit

Effects of stocking density and water exchange rate on growth and survival of channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque) in circular tanks
Channel catfish were cultured for 177 days in circular tanks containing 1.6 m3 of water at combinations of five stocking densities (90–720 fish/m3) and five water exchange rates (2.0–0.5 h per exchange). Net yield increased as stocking density increased up to 540 fish/m3 then declined at higher densities. Mean fish weight, feed conversion efficiency and survival all declined as stocking density in

Seasonal water potential changes in Sonoran Desert shrubs in relation to topography
Water potential in Sonoran Desert shrubs was recorded from September 1968 through September 1969. Special attention was paid to recording maximum and minimum potentials on a seasonal basis and diurnal fluctuations during the wettest and driest periods of the year. Franseria deltoidea developed the lowest potential (—85 bar) of the shrubs recorded and also showed the greatest degree of response to
