The Path to an Ecosystem Approach for Forage Fish Management: A Case Study of Atlantic Menhaden

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) support the largest fishery by volume on the United States East Coast, while also playing an important role as a forage species. Managers’ and stakeholders’ increasing concerns about the impact of Atlantic menhaden

Assessing Biodiversity at Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Aquaculture and Reef Sites Utilizing Real‐Time Monitoring and Environmental DNA in Rehoboth Bay, Delaware, USA [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Eastern Oysters (Crassostrea virginica) are a keystone species and an important product of the commercial shellfish industry in Delaware. Oysters are known as “environmental engineers” that provide a structured habitat for the ecosystem, thus promoting ...

Balancing Model Complexity, Data Requirements, and Management Objectives in Developing Ecological Reference Points for Atlantic Menhaden

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Atlantic menhaden is an important forage fish and the target of the largest fishery along the US East Coast by volume. Since 1999, managers at the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, stakeholders, and scientists have been interested in ...

Movements of post-breeding royal terns (Thalasseus maximus) in Virginia, U.S.A [PDF]

PeerJ
Seabirds use a variety of strategies to maximize survival during migration. We studied the post-incubation movements of royal terns (Thalasseus maximus) from the largest seabird colony in Virginia, U.S.A. to understand their behaviors after nesting.

The Reproductive Biology and Fecundity of Female Atlantic Menhaden

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, 2023
Abstract Objective Atlantic Menhaden Brevoortia tyrannus support fisheries that yield the largest landings by volume on the U.S. East Coast and fulfill a critical ecological role as a forage species. The spawning reference point of the stock assessment model that is routinely applied to this species ...

Food supplementation increases reproductive performance of ospreys in the lower Chesapeake Bay

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC), the governing body responsible for managing fisheries on the U.S. East Coast, formally adopted the use of Ecological Reference Points (ERPs) for Atlantic menhaden, Brevoortia tyrannus.

Estimating potential menhaden consumption by double-crested cormorants along the coast of North Carolina

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The south Atlantic coast supports one of the highest assemblages of non-breeding double-crested cormorants (Nannopterum auritum) known and is a convergence area for Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) during the winter months.

Combining Ecosystem and Single-Species Modeling to Provide Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management Advice Within Current Management Systems

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Although many countries have formally committed to Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management (EBFM), actual progress toward these goals has been slow. This paper presents two independent case studies that have combined strategic advice from ecosystem modeling

Ecological Reference Points for Atlantic Menhaden Established Using an Ecosystem Model of Intermediate Complexity

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) are an important forage fish for many predators, and they also support the largest commercial fishery by weight on the U.S. East Coast. Menhaden management has been working toward ecological reference points (ERPs)
