Season- and depth-dependent variability of a demersal fish assemblage in a large fjord estuary (Puget Sound, Washington) [PDF]
Fjord estuaries are common along the northeast Pacific coastline, but little information is available on fish assemblage structure and its spatiotemporal variability. Here, we examined changes in diversity metrics, species biomasses, and biomass spectra (

First Descriptions of Endoparasite Fauna of Elasmobranch and Mesopelagic Teleost Bycatch Fishes from the Western North Atlantic Pelagic Longline Fishery [PDF]
Natural mortality is a poorly known aspect of fisheries biology, despite its importance in stock assessments and population analysis. Of potential sources of mortality and morbidity in fishes, the effect of internal parasites is perhaps the least studied
