TL;DR: Ultrasonic telemetry was used to investigate the home ranges and homing routes of 11 copper, Sebastes caurinus, and quillback, and Sebastes maliger, rockfishes.
Abstract: Ultrasonic telemetry was used to investigate the home ranges and homing routes of 11 copper, Sebastes caurinus, and quillback, Sebastes maliger, rockfishes. Home ranges of four copper and quillback rockfishes were monitored to determine if movement occurred during the day, night, or strong current (7.4 km/h). As expected from previous conventional tagging work, home ranges were small (most <10 m2) on high relief reefs and considerably larger (within 4000 m2) on low relief reefs. No off-reef movement by copper and quillback rockfishes was detected on either reef type. To determine homing routes, the daily positions of seven copper and quillback rockfishes were monitored as they proceeded back to their home sites after experimental 500-m displacements from a high relief rocky reef to a low relief rocky reef. Six of the seven displaced copper and quillback rockfishes took from 8 to 25 days to return home; one quillback rockfish was followed for 16 days and lost, it was last located approximately halfway back...

TL;DR: Larval fish drift in the rocky-bottomed Susquehanna River (northeastern Pennsylvania) was investigated during 1974-1975, finding large numbers of quillback, white sucker, shorthead redhorse, and tessellated darter larvae drifted near the river surface at night.
Abstract: Larval fish drift in the rocky-bottomed Susquehanna River (northeastern Pennsylvania) was investigated during 1974-1975. Near SSES (Susquehanna Steam Electric Station) at least 18 species of drifting larvae were collected by nets mounted on a stationary boat or by pumping. Maximum densities of 15.4 and 27.1 larvae/10 m3 were found in June 1974 and 1975, respectively. Quillback, Carpiodes cyprinus (56%), minnows (25%), and carp, Cyprinus carpio (14% of the total) were the most abundant larvae caught in 1974 by pumping. The few larvae that drifted during the day were mostly near the bottom. Large numbers of quillback, white sucker (Catostomus commersoni), shorthead redhorse (Moxostoma macrolepidotum), and tessellated darter (Etheostoma olmstedi) larvae drifted near the river surface at night. Drift was maximum at about 2400 h. Overall, the day/night drift ratio was 1/3.8. In 1974 at Falls, the control station upstream of SSES and several intervening coal mine effluents, maximum density of drifting ...

TL;DR: The removal of coarse fish appeared to reduce very considerably the population of carp and quillback suckers, and possibly buffalo fish as well, as shown by smaller average catches per haul in 1936 than in 1935.
Abstract: The gradual increase in turbidity, the disappearance of vegetation, and the decline in availability of game fish over a period of years in Bass Lake, Indiana, was attributed to an overabundance of carp. Under the supervision of the Division of Fish and Game, coarse fish were removed by seining in 1935 and 1936. The total weight of carp removed was 45 tons, of quillback suckers 20 tons and of buffalo fish 6 tons. Other species of coarse fish were taken only in insignificant quantities. The removal of these fish appeared to reduce very considerably the population of carp and quillback suckers, and possibly buffalo fish as well, as shown by smaller average catches per haul in 1936 than in 1935. In 1936 the water of the lake cleared and vegetation increased in extent and density. The abundance of game fish increased rapidly in the second half of 1936, as shown by a manifold increase in the number caught of wall-eyed pike, striped bass, smallmouth and largemouth black bass, bluegills, black crappie an...

TL;DR: Common carp and walleye were significantly more abundant in the upstream portion of the reservoir throughout the summer, whereas quillback, gizzard shad, shorthead redhorse, and channel catfish were more abundant during early summer.
Abstract: Relative abundance of fishes in different habitat types and sampling areas of a reservoir in eastern Wyoming was assessed with experimental gill nets during summer 1989. Seven of 12 species captured in the gill nets were numerous enough to enable statistical evaluation: quillback (Carpiodes cyprinus), common carp (Cyprinus carpio), walleye (Stizostedion vitreum), gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum), shorthead redhorse (Moxostoma macrolepidotum), channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), and yellow perch (Perca flavescens). All seven species were significantly more numerous in samples from littoral and offshore bottom areas than in samples from offshore surface areas throughout the summer. Common carp and walleye were significantly more abundant in the upstream portion of the reservoir throughout the summer, whereas quillback, gizzard shad, shorthead redhorse, and channel catfish were more abundant in the upstream portion during early summer.

TL;DR: Quillback (Carpiodes cyprinus (Lesueur) spawning migrations were monitored in 1984 and 1985 in the Ochre River, Manitoba and probably are annual spawners and spawned from mid-April to mid-June at water temperatures between 7 and 18 °C.
Abstract: Quillback (Carpiodes cyprinus (Lesueur)) spawning migrations were monitored in 1984 and 1985 in the Ochre River, Manitoba. Quillback migrations were limited by both water temperature and discharge. Upstream spawning migrations began after water temperatures reached 5 °C but only when discharges were high. Quillback migrated up to 32 km upstream from Dauphin Lake during periods of high discharge but only 2–3 km upstream if discharges were low. Quillback probably are annual spawners and spawned from mid-April to mid-June at water temperatures between 7 and 18 °C. Fecundity ranged from 46 600 to 360 000 ova in females of 912–3410 g wet weight. Fecundity had a linear relationship to quillback wet weight. Relative gonad weight, ova diameter, and dry weight of ova all increased with increasing female weight. Fertilized ova hatched after 13–17 calendar days or 220.7–229.8 degree-days. The mean total length of newly hatched larvae was 7.95 mm. Tubercle distributions were similar to previously described patterns e...
