Abstract:
Mammoth Cave National Park (MCNP) is home to the longest cave system in the
World and is dissected by the Green River, one of the most speciose watersheds on the
continent. Cave springs create a direct aquatic link between subterranean waterways and
the Green River. The history of these subterranean river systems is filled with eyewitness
reports of various species of surface water (nontroglobitic) fishes, including introduced
rainbow trout. This study documents the occurrence of Green River fish species in the
cave system of MCNP. Four sites were sampled over a two year period using a variety of
gears. In total, sampling yielded 1849 individuals (mostly larval/juvenile) of 22 species
representing nine families. Of the 22 species, 12 have never before been documented in
the cave environment. The effects of local hydrological events on the abundance of
Green River fishes in the cave system were also examined. Catch per unit effort of larval
fish was shown to be significantly higher following high water flow reversal events
indicating that most individuals are accidentally washed into the cave environment.
These fish likely influence energy flow in the cave ecosystem. Flow reversal is
dependent on a dynamic between river stage and local ground water level. Releases from
the Green River Dam, upstream of the park, influence river stage and therefore flow
reversal events. In this way anthropogenic water control affects processes important to
energy flow in the cave environment.
