Highly and Lowly Domesticated Endangered Fish From a Conservation Hatchery Diverge in Their Thermal Physiology, Transcriptome, and Methylome [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsConservation hatcheries aim to produce fish for supplementation of wild populations, but hatchery environments may drive phenotypic divergence from wild fish.

Evaluation and Interpretation of Genetic Effective Population Size of Delta Smelt from 2011–2014 [PDF]
San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2017 https://doi.org/10.15447/sfews.2017v15iss2art5Delta Smelt have collapsed demographically, but little is known about their current genetic status. We used 12 microsatellite loci to evaluate two measures of the effective population size (Ne) of Delta ...

Eastward Migration or Marshward Dispersal: Exercising Survey Data to Elicit an Understanding of Seasonal Movement of Delta Smelt [PDF]
San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2013 Differing and confounding understandings of the seasonal movements of the delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) in the San Francisco Estuary persist nearly 2 decades after its listing as threatened under the federal and state endangered species acts.

Characterization of Spawning Behavior in Cultured Delta Smelt [PDF]
North American Journal of Aquaculture, 2021 Abstract We examined cultured Delta Smelt Hypomesus transpacificus under laboratory settings to provide the first formal characterization of spawning behavior, which included the quantification of participants and diel spawning patterns.

A Place to Call Home: A Synthesis of Delta Smelt Habitat in the Upper San Francisco Estuary [PDF]
San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2013 We used a combination of published literature and field survey data to synthesize the available information about habitat use by delta smelt Hypomesus transpacificus, a declining native species in the San Francisco Estuary.
