| General Session: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service ANS Small Grants Program (6) Impacts of a Novel Cyanotoxin on Fauna in the Southeast - Susan Wilde (Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources, University of Georgia) Susan provided a presentation on her research on Avian Vacuolar Myelinopathy (AVM) that is caused by a novel cyanotoxin and causes mortality in eagles and numerous other species. Several parts of this research were funded through the Small Grants Program over multiple years. The cyanotoxin is produced by a cyanobacteria (Aetokthonos hydrillicola) that grows on the aquatic invasive plant Hydrilla. Through this research, Susan has been able to determine that this cyanotoxin can also cause the disease in fish, salamanders, frogs, turtles, and snake species. She was also able to confirm the trophic transfer through consumption in lab experiments, and that it can bioaccumulate in wild game and fish that may have impacts on human health. Susan provided a few management solutions to reduce the impacts of this disease which include effectively controlling submerged aquatic plants and limiting bromide levels in affected water bodies. |
