Reservoir ecosystems support large pools of fish biomass

2023-09-06

Abstract excerpt

Humans increasingly dominate Earth’s natural freshwater ecosystems, and many freshwater fisheries resources are imperiled and at-risk of collapse. Yet despite this, the productive capacity of intensively modified freshwater ecosystems is rarely studied. We digitized, and provide open access to, a legacy database containing empirical fish biomass from 1,127 surveys on 301 USA reservoirs. In parallel, we developed a...
