Fishes in Paleochannels of the Lower Mississippi River Alluvial Valley: A National Treasure

Abstract: Fluvial geomorphology of the alluvial valley of the Lower Mississippi River reveals a fascinating history. A prominent occupant of the valley was the Ohio River, estimated to have flowed 25,000 years ago over western Tennessee and Mississippi to join the Mississippi River north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 750–800 km south of the present confluence. Over time, shifts in the Mississippi and Ohio rivers toward their contemporary positions have left a legacy of abandoned paleochannels supportive of unique fish asse… Show more

“…Engineering projects have altered its morphology and hydrology (Biedenharn & Watson, 1997;Harmer et al, 2005;Pinter et al, 2008;Pinter et al, 2010;Remo et al, 2009), which, in turn, have modified geomorphic and hydrological regimes in the adjacent alluvial valley (Albertson & Patrick, 1996;Edwards et al, 2016). Ecological responses to these alterations are widespread, including altered forests (Allen et al, 2016;Gee et al, 2014Gee et al, , 2015Hanberry et al, 2012) and aquatic ecosystems (Miranda, 2016).…”
