Effects of sea lamprey substrate modification and carcass nutrients on macroinvertebrate assemblages in a small Atlantic coastal stream

open access: yesJournal of Freshwater Ecology, 2018
Aquatic macroinvertebrates respond to patch dynamics arising from interactions of physical and chemical disturbances across space and time. Anadromous fish, such as sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, migrate from the ocean and alter physical and chemical ...

Dynamics of trophic structure for the epipelagic community in the western Bering Sea

open access: yesИзвестия ТИНРО, 2014
Changes of quantitative composition and trophic structure of the nekton community in the western Bering Sea are considered for the last decades and role of pacific salmons in dynamics of trophic flows is evaluated in dependence on their abundance using ...

Florida’s Shad and River Herrings (Alosa species): a review of Population and Fishery Characteristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Of the six shad and river herring species (Clupeidae: Alosa species) found in North America, five occur in Florida (Figure 1), more than in any other state in the U.S.

A Meta‐Analysis on Environmental Triggers of Spawning Migrations Reveals a New Classification of Thermal Guilds in European Freshwater Fishes

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fish migration through river networks is essential for completing life cycles and accessing critical habitats, but fragmentation increasingly disrupts spawning movements. In Europe, over one million barriers limit connectivity and create trade‐offs between ecological integrity and human uses, such as hydropower, flood control, fisheries and ...

Male choice in the stream-anadromous stickleback complex. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Studies of mating preferences and pre-mating reproductive isolation have often focused on females, but the potential importance of male preferences is increasingly appreciated.

The Lifetime Migratory History of Anadromous Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis): Insights and Risks from Pesticide-Induced Fish Kills

open access: yesFishes, 2022
Brook trout populations in Prince Edward Island, Canada, have experienced over 50 pesticide-related fish kills since the 1960s. Life history evaluation of large sea-run brook trout recovered following two fish kill events was compared with a reference ...

Anadromous fish as marine nutrient vectors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The tidal freshwater of Virginia supports anadromous herring (Alosa spp.) spawning runs in the spring; however, their importance as nutrient delivery vectors to the freshwater fish food web remains unknown.

Predicting Historical Populations and Evaluating Shifting Baselines of Traditionally Exploited Fisheries

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Development of data‐intensive stock assessment and ecosystem‐based models has improved our understanding of shifting species abundance in response to fishing, ocean ecology, and species interactions. Along with this analytical progress is evidence that many stocks lack data required for complex models, resulting in data‐limited options for ...

Pacific Salmon, Oncorhynchus spp., and the Definition of "Species" Under the Endangered Species Act [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
For purposes ofthe Endangered Species Act (ESA), a "species" is defined to include "any distinct population segment of any species of vertebrate fish or wildlife which interbreeds when mature. "Federal agencies charged with carrying out the provisions of

Impact of Environmental Conditions on the Spawning Migration of Sea Trout (Salmo trutta L.) in Two Large, Sub‐Arctic River Systems

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global decline in salmonid stocks has increased the need for knowledge of local adaptations and life history strategies of salmonids. In this study, we used radio‐telemetry tracking data from sea trout populations in two large high‐latitude rivers to model upstream spawning migration speed of trout in response to prevailing environmental ...
