Oyster reef habitat characteristics and nekton communities vary with restoration method in a large‐scale project

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Restoration in coastal ecosystems is revitalizing populations of foundation species that provide valuable habitat to support biodiversity and ecosystem services. The goals of oyster reef restoration include increasing oyster populations and oyster reef ecosystem services such as provision of habitat for commercially and ecologically valuable ...

Multitiered Health Assessment of Atlantic Menhaden in the Pamlico River, North Carolina [PDF]

Journal of Aquatic Animal Health, 2007
Abstract During the fall of 2001 and 2002, Atlantic menhaden Brevoortia tyrannus were collected from several creeks in the Pamlico River, North Carolina, to investigate recent fish kills and ulcerative skin lesions. High skin lesion prevalence (>50%) was associated with the Atlantic menhaden kills in fall 2001, whereas there were ...

Advancing Ecological Understanding and Sustainable Management of Small Pelagic Fish

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 850-864, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish (SPF) are critical to the trophodynamic structure and function of marine systems and support some of the most valuable and socially important fisheries worldwide. Their “boom and bust” population dynamics, shifts in distribution, and importance as forage resources for other fish stocks place unique challenges to assessing ...

Using Stock Vulnerability to Evaluate Fishery‐Independent Survey Coverage and Inform Sampling Priorities

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 912-926, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The consequences of mis‐managing vulnerable stocks (i.e., those with low productivity and high susceptibility to depletion) are high and potentially permanent. To support sustainable fisheries management, stock assessments can be improved by increasing the quantity and quality of fishery‐independent survey (i.e., survey) data.

Baleen Whale Occurrence in the Waters Off Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. From 2001 to 2019

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Eighteen years of visual survey and strandings data were used to describe baleen whale occurrence along the continental shelf of Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. This region experiences heavy anthropogenic use, which poses risks for mortality and injury to baleen whales. Between 2001 and 2019, six species of baleen whales were recorded, and

Evaluating Ecosystem-Based Reference Points for Atlantic Menhaden

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, 2017
Abstract Implementation of an ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) for forage fish requires methods to evaluate tradeoffs associated with competing management objectives that focus on supporting fishery yields or providing food for predators. We developed an Ecopath with Ecosim ecosystem model of the U.S.

Predicting Historical Populations and Evaluating Shifting Baselines of Traditionally Exploited Fisheries

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 506-518, May 2026.
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 ...

Limited Experimental Susceptibility of Post-Smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) to an Emergent Strain of Vibrio Anguillarum Serotype O3

Aquaculture Journal
Preliminary evidence has showed an emergent serotype O3 (SO3) strain of Vibrio anguillarum to cause mortality in pre-smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) by injection with >105 colony forming units (cfus). Here, we sought to identify the susceptibility of
