and Kansas (Hatch 2001). dan Kansas (Hatch 2001). Over the past century the Topeka shiner's
range has decreased Selama abad terakhir Topeka's berlian kisaran menurun
by 80%, with more than 50% of this decline within the past 25 years (Tabor 1998). dengan 80%,
dengan lebih dari 50% dari penurunan dalam tahun terakhir 25 (Tabor 1998).
Habitat loss may be one of the main reasons for their decline, but habitat suitability Habitat
kerugian mungkin salah satu alasan utama untuk penurunan mereka, tetapi kesesuaian habitat

Information is now available about some aspects of Topeka shiner life history, but Informasi kini
tersedia tentang beberapa aspek sejarah kehidupan berlian Topeka, tetapi
questions still remain about their habitat requirements. pertanyaan masih tetap tentang

(Minckley and Cross 1959). (Minckley dan Cross 1959). Current descriptions of Topeka shiner
habitat in Kansas and Deskripsi saat ini habitat berlian di Topeka Kansas dan
Missouri agree with historical descriptions. Missouri setuju dengan deskripsi historis. Topeka
shiners are found in pools often Topeka shiners ditemukan di kolam sering
connected by water seeping through the gravel (Hrabik 1996; Kerns and Bonneau 2002;

shiners in these off-channel habitats has been found to depend on a variety of factors, shiners
dalam habitat off-channel telah ditemukan tergantung pada berbagai faktor,
including flooding events (Berg et al. 2004). termasuk peristiwa banjir (Berg et al). 2004. Off-

Optimum Temperature and Effect of Asian Tapeworm on Growth
Experiment T-1.— The optimum temperature for growth as SGR in weight (ie
mass) was 18.0 C (SE 0.348), and for length 18.4 C (SE 0.604) (Table 4, Figure 1). All Semua
treatments had 100% survival except for the highest treatment temperature (33 C) in
which 28 of 29 fish survived. Temperature had no significant effect on fish survival
( P= 0.417). Dissections revealed no tapeworms in any of the fish. Reproductive behavior
Reproduksi perilaku
was significantly higher at the 23 C treatment and above ( P <0.05), and activity was
significantly higher at two highest temperature treatments compared to the lowest
temperature treatment ( P <0.05) (Figure 2). No time trends were found for any of the
behavior observations.
Experiment T-2.— The optimum temperature for growth in weight was 32.1 C
(SE 2.32), and 29.5 C (SE 1.36) for length. However, the highest mean treatment
temperature was 31.2 C and therefore the estimate for weight is an extrapolation. The Itu
highest growth rate for weight occurred at the highest temperature tested (Figure 3, Table
4). 4). Survival was 90%, 75%, 90%, 85%, and 70% for the five treatments in order of
increasing temperature, and no significant effect of temperature was found on fish
survival rate ( P= 0.346). Post-experiment dissections revealed that Asian tapeworms

were present in fish in all treatments, with 94%, 89%, 100%, 94%, and 43% infection in
the five treatments, in order of increasing temperature.

Experiment T-3.— Fish that had been treated with Praziquantel, and therefore
were free of tapeworms during the experiment, had an optimum temperature for growth
in weight of 27.4 C (SE 0.811) and 27.1 C (SE 0.757) for growth in length (Figure 4,
Table 4). Tabel 4). For fish that were infected with tapeworms (those that had not received the
Praziquantel treatment), the optimum temperature for growth in weight was 28.1 C (SE
0.429), and for length it was 26.3 C (SE 1.63) (Figure 4, Table 4). In weight, growth rate

was reduced by 42.2% at 20 C, 38.9% at 25 C, and 26.5% at 30 C; in length, growth rate
was reduced by 56.0% at 20 C, 45.1% at 25 C, and 61.2% at 30 C. These values were
calculated by comparing median values at each treatment temperature. Growth rate was
not reduced at 15 C, and too few fish survived the 35 C treatment for a valid growth rate
estimate to be calculated for percent growth rate reduction. Post-experiment dissections
revealed no tapeworms in fish that had undergone Praziquantel treatment. Asian Asia
tapeworms were present in fish that had not received Praziquantel, with 77%, 89%, 83%,
and 54% infection in the lowest four temperature treatments, in order of increasing
temperature. suhu. For the 35 C treatment, no Asian tapeworms were found upon dissection at
the conclusion of the experiment. Survival rate for the four lowest treatment
temperatures of fish without tapeworms was 100%, and was 21% for the 35 C treatment.
Survival rate for fish with tapeworms was 93%, 64%, 86%, 79%, and 21% in the five
treatments in order of increasing temperature. Temperature had a significant effect on
fish survival of fish both with ( P <0.0001) and without ( P= 0.0005) tapeworm infection.
There was no significant difference in survival between fish with and without tapeworms
when all treatments were considered ( P= 0.239). However, when the highest temperature
(35 C) was excluded from the analysis, fish without tapeworms had a significantly higher
survival rate ( P= 0.005). Growth rate was reduced in fish with tapeworm infection.
Critical Thermal Maximum
In experiment CTM-1, fish acclimated to 28 C had a mean CTM of 38.9 C ( n= 27)
(Table 5). (Tabel 5). Fish acclimated to 31 C had a mean CTM of 39.6 C ( n= 23). The CTM
values
for these two acclimation groups were significantly different ( P <0.0001). Fish in

Page 27 Page 27
22 22
experiment CTM-2 acclimated to 27 C had a mean CTM of 38.7 C ( n= 16) and fish
acclimated to 31.5 C had a mean CTM of 39.8 C ( n= 14). These two groups were also
significantly different ( P <0.0001). In experiment CTM-3, fish with tapeworms ( n= 19) as
well as fish without tapeworms ( n= 6) both had mean CTM values of 39.5 C. No
significant difference in CTM was found for fish with and without tapeworm infection
( P =0.467).
Effect of Dissolved Oxygen on Growth
Experiment O-1.— Age was a significant factor for growth in length ( P <0.01) but
there was no significant difference in growth in weight. For the 19-month-old shiners,
dissolved oxygen had a significant effect on growth in weight ( P= 0.0003) and weight
was significantly higher at 6 mg L

and 5 mg L

than at 2 mg L

( P <0.05) (Figure 5a).
Growth in length for the 19-month-old shiners was not significantly affected by oxygen
level. tingkat. For the 7-month-old shiners, variability was high and no significant differences
were observed in growth rates (Figure 5b).
Survival rates for the 19-month-old fish were 100%, 96%, 100%, 96%, and 96%
for the five treatments in order of increasing dissolved oxygen concentration with no
significant effect of dissolved oxygen on survival ( P= 0.73). Survival rates for the 7-
month-old fish were 96%, 88%, 92%, 92%, and 88% in order of increasing dissolved
oxygen treatments with no significant effect of dissolved oxygen on survival ( P= 0.84).
Post-experiment dissections revealed no tapeworms present in 19-month-old fish and
89% infection in 7-month-old fish (ie 16 of 18 randomly sampled 7-month-old fish over
the three highest dissolved oxygen treatments of were infected with tapeworms).

Experiment O-2.— Dissolved oxygen concentration had a significant effect on

Discussion Diskusi
High temperature and low dissolved oxygen alone are probably not factors in
Topeka shiner population declines. Topeka shiners were able to survive and grow in
conditions of both high temperature and low dissolved oxygen. Published historical
information describing Topeka shiner habitat as being cool prairie streams does not seem
to adequately describe their possible range of habitats. A combination of factors other

Page 32 Page 32
27 27
than high temperature and low oxygen are probably responsible for local Topeka shiner
extirpations.
Although little information was previously available about temperature and
oxygen tolerance of the Topeka shiner, information on other Notropis species suggests
considerable tolerance of high temperatures. In Ohio, Mundahl (1990) reported
observing Notropis chrysocephalus (striped shiners) and N. stramineus (sand shiners)
surviving in habitats with water temperatures up to 39.5 C. However, shade may have
provided lower temperatures in some areas of those habitats. CTM for Notropis species
indicates values are as high as 39.65 C for N. lutrensis (red shiner) after fish were
acclimated to 30 C (Rutledge & Beitinger 1989) (Table 6, adapted from Beitinger et al.
2000). 2000).
Additionally, as summarized in Coutant (1977) a few studies have described
preferred temperatures and optimum temperature for growth for species in the genus
Notropis . Cherry et al. Cherry et al. (1975) acclimated N. rubellus (rosyface shiner) and N.
spilopterus
(spotfin shiner) to a range of temperatures and reported a preferred temperature for each
level of acclimation. When acclimated to 27 C, on average N. rubellus preferred 26.8 C
and N. dan N. spilopterus preferred 28.1 C. Similarly, Barans and Tubb (1973) tested both
young and adult N. atherinoides (emerald shiners) for preferred temperature after being
acclimated to water between 20 and 25 C. Both age groups preferred temperatures
between 21 and 23 C. Kellogg and Gift (1983) demonstrated that preferred temperature
was related to optimum temperature for growth in the four species they tested. One of Salah satu
these species was N. atherinoides . They report N. atherinoides ' preferred temperature as
being 29 C after acclimation to 25 C, and they report an optimum temperature for growth

Page 33 Page 33
28 28
for N. atherinoides of 27.3 C. Previously, McCormick and Kleiner (1976) studied
optimum temperature for growth for N. atherinoides , and reported a value of 28.9 C.
These past studies show that the genus Notropis has other members with high
temperature tolerance, which supports our findings for N. topeka.
Little information is available about low dissolved oxygen tolerance in Notropis
spp. spp. Smale and Rabeni (1995) reported critical dissolved oxygen tolerances (dissolved
oxygen concentration at which opercular movement and ventilation ceases, conducted at
26 C over a 4 to 6 hour period) for N. rubellus, N. nubilus, N. dorsalis, and N. stramineus
(rosyface shiner, Ozark minnow, bigmouth shiner , and sand shiner) as 1.49, 1.45, 1.02,
and 0.93 mg L

, respectively. , Masing-masing. Ostrand and Wilde (2001) reported dissolved oxygen
concentrations at which loss of equilibrium occurred over about 15 minutes for N.
buccula and N. oxyrhynchus as 2.11 and 2.66 mg L

, respectively. , Masing-masing. Results indicate that Hasil menunjukkan bahwa
Topeka shiners have similar high-temperature, low-oxygen tolerances as other species of
Notropis .
Growth rates differ quite a bit between the three experiments in which I
determined optimum temperature for growth. Although statistically it is not possible to
draw a comparison between experiments, it is important to note the difference. One Satu
possible explanation for this difference is that the three groups of fish had different
thermal and photoperiod histories, which could affect their circadian or circannual
rhythms. ritme. Seasons, because of differing photoperiod, affect fish growth, and that factor
could have affected the results. Another factor to consider is fish age, which is discussed
in more detail below in regards to experiment T-2.

The estimate of 18 C in T-1 was probably not an accurate estimate for the Topeka
shiner's optimum temperature (Figure 2). At higher temperatures and long daylengths,
mature fish became sexually active, with considerable chasing of subordinate fish by
dominant males. High energy expenditures resulting from this intense reproductive

Page 35 Page 35
30 30
activity at or above 23 C probably reduced energy available for growth, resulting in
slower growth of sexually active fish and a lower estimate for temperature of optimum
growth. pertumbuhan. Subsequent experiments using a shorter daylength reduced the
reproductive
behavior considerably, although all chasing behavior was not eliminated. In both of the
experiments with shorter daylength, the optimum temperature for growth was at least 9 C
higher than with longer daylength (and more reproductive activity), which supports the
conclusion that the optimum of 18 C was an underestimate.
It appears that an accurate estimate of optimum temperature for growth lies
between 27 and 31 C, regardless of whether growth is measured as length or weight.
However, the 31 C estimate may be too high because of the presence of tapeworms. It is Hal ini
clear from the experiment comparing infected and non-infected fish that tapeworms
reduce growth rate. However, lower parasite loads at higher temperatures suggest that
tapeworms could not tolerate the highest temperature, as demonstrated in experiment T-2
where only 43% of the fish at 31 C had tapeworms, compared to between 89 and 100%
infection at all lower temperatures. Similarly, tapeworm infection in experiment T-3 for
fish that had not been treated with Praziquantel was 54% at 30 C and 0% at 35 C,
compared with 77%, 89 %, and 83% infection at 15, 20, and 25 C, respectively. While I
Sementara saya
could not document exactly when fish shed tapeworms during the test, it is likely that the
reduction in parasite load increased their subsequent growth rate. Thus, the high growth
rate of infected fish at 31 C in experiment T-2 was relatively higher than fish at 27 C,
which had a 94% tapeworm infection at the end of the experiment. This relatively higher
growth rate at 31 C than at 27 C would cause the estimate of optimum temperature for
growth to be high. Also, younger fish were used in experiment T-2 (in which all fish

Page 36 Page 36
31 31
were initially infected with tapeworm). Age of fish is an important factor to consider for
at least two reasons. First, younger fish do not exhibit reproductive behavior, although
individuals still exhibit some chasing behavior; second, younger fish also could have
different growth potential than adults, resulting in a higher optimum temperature for
growth. pertumbuhan. However, there is no way to separate effect of age from effect of
tapeworm
infection in the experiment, as no experiment was performed on young fish without
tapeworm infection. The best estimate, therefore, is that optimum temperature for growth
is probably closer to 27 than 31 C for Topeka shiners. The estimate of 27 C is similar to
other species in the genus Notropis .
Overall, the presence of tapeworms reduced fish growth rate and survival. A A
reduction in growth has been reported for several other fish species parasitized by
tapeworm (Brouder 1999; Pulkkinen and Valtonen 1999; Sirois and Dodson 2000;
Saksvik et al. 2001). 2001). Hoffman (1998) suggests that mortality due to tapeworms is not
often a major concern, but this study indicated reduced growth and higher mortality and
suggests that infected fish should not be used for population rehabilitation. Furthermore,
Selanjutnya,
because the Asian tapeworm is an exotic parasite, regulations prohibit the release of
infected fish in waters where the parasite is not already present.
CTM values were similar to the highest values reported for other Notropis species
(Table 6). (Tabel 6). Although I did not test for the Topeka shiner's ultimate upper incipient
lethal
temperature (UULT; the maximum tolerable temperature regardless of acclimation
temperature) it is probably between 33 and 35 C. This is suggested by the results, which
showed that 97% of fish survived temperatures of 33 C, compared with 80% mortality at
35 C over 30 days. Additionally, a high CTM value supports the estimate of a high
Page 37 Page 37
32 32
optimum temperature for growth, because for many fish, the optimum temperature for
growth is relatively close to the CTM value. Overall, survival at temperatures as high as
33 C with a CTM of 39 C is further evidence that Topeka shiners can tolerate high
temperatures. suhu.
Topeka shiners are also tolerant of low dissolved oxygen levels. Although a high Meskipun
tinggi
level of variability was present not only in the oxygen levels themselves (Table 2) but in
growth of individual fish, results still showed that growth occurred at dissolved oxygen
levels as low as 2 mg L
-1 -1
. . Growth in length and weight was observed for both younger
and older fish at 2 mg L
-1 -1
. . Although the results for effect of oxygen on growth were not
exactly the same between the two oxygen-growth experiments, the general downward
trend of growth rate with reduced oxygen suggests that Topeka shiner growth is
dependent on oxygen concentration. At oxygen levels below about 4 mg L
-1 -1
, reduction in
growth may be substantial. Results also show some evidence that activity level,
including reproductive behavior, decreased as dissolved oxygen level decreased (Figure
7). 7). Inhibition of reproductive behavior could impact isolated populations.
Results from the lower lethal dissolved oxygen tests support oxygen-growth test
results, showing that Topeka shiners are quite tolerant of low oxygen conditions.
However, three aspects of experimental conditions should be noted for the lower lethal
dissolved oxygen tests. One aspect is that the first experiment was disrupted twice over
the 96-hour period because the compressed nitrogen gas tank used for stripping oxygen
from the water ran out, allowing oxygen levels in the experimental tanks to rise for a
maximum of about 4 hours. Another aspect from the first test is that although tanks were
equipped with plastic covers floating on the surface of the water, fish still had access to

Page 38 Page 38
33 33
the surface via small gaps between the covers and the sides of the tank, and most fish in
the treatments below 2 mg L
-1 -1
congregated there during the experiment, taking advantage
of the slightly more oxygenated surface layer of water. Finally, the second experiment
was at a slightly higher temperature than the first (about 28 C vs. about 25 C). In spite of
Meskipun
these three differences, the estimates of 1.26 and 1.16 mg L

for 96-hour LC
50 50
values nilai
obtained from the two experiments are similar, and the estimate of 1.2 mg L
-1 -1
for a 96-
hour LC

value is probably valid.
Tolerance of high temperatures and low oxygen may result from adaptation to the
demanding conditions of naturally occurring seasonal drought associated with prairie
streams; however, other Notropis species show similar tolerances and some are not
prairie headwater species, so the hypothesis about adaptation to prairie streams may be
more complicated. lebih rumit.
Topeka shiner tolerance of high-temperature and low-oxygen conditions supports
the idea that off-channel habitats may be population sources, rather than population sinks.
Certain microhabitats may allow populations to persist by supplying organisms to the
areas in the habitat from which organisms are frequently lost (Pulliam 1988). The off- Off-
channel habitats may provide refuges for Topeka shiners in times of drought. When Ketika
water again becomes abundant the off-channel habitats reconnect, at least temporarily, to
the main stream, allowing Topeka shiners to repopulate the stream. This study gives new
information about physiological limits of the Topeka shiner that should be applied in the
protection of known Topeka shiner habitat, including off-channel habitats, and could help
to ensure success of future population restoration efforts.
