Surface and subsurface oceanographic features drive forage fish distributions and aggregations: Implications for prey availability to top predators in the US Northeast Shelf ecosystem [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Forage fishes are a critical food web link in marine ecosystems, aggregating in a hierarchical patch structure over multiple spatial and temporal scales.

Unlocking the potential of forage fish to reduce the global burden of disease [PDF]
BMJ Global HealthMethods We based our study on datasets of red meat projections in 2050 for 137 countries and forage fish catches. We replaced the red meat consumption in each country with forage fish (from marine habitats), without exceeding the potential supply of ...

Linkages among foraging movements, prey provisioning, and reproduction in a central place foraging seabird [PDF]
Movement EcologyBackground A seabird’s ability to efficiently find prey directly affects reproduction, and seabird population declines are frequently linked to forage fish depletion.

A Synthetic Crustacean Bait to Stem Forage Fish Depletion
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2016 Crustaceans, such as crab and lobster, comprise an important global food commodity. They are captured in traps using primarily forage fish (e.g. anchovies, herring, and menhaden), as bait.

Ecological Indicators, 2021 Ecological disturbances may result in mortality events that alter biotic communities and ecosystems. In many coastal zones disturbances are increasing, including algal blooms and fish kills. These two disturbances are often related, with blooms releasing

Jellyfish, Forage Fish, and the World's Major Fisheries [PDF]
Oceanography, 2014 A majority of the world's largest net-based fisheries target planktivorous forage fish that serve as a critical trophic link between the plankton and upper-level consumers such as large predatory fishes, seabirds, and marine mammals. Because the plankton

Experimentally Determining Optimal Conditions for Mapping Forage Fish with RPAS
Drones, 2022 RPAS (Remotely piloted aircraft systems, i.e., drones) present an efficient method for mapping schooling coastal forage fish species that have limited distribution and abundance data.

Freshwater discharge disrupts linkages between the environment and estuarine fish community
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Freshwater diversions and damming have altered coastal ecosystems greatly, resulting in fundamental changes in salinity, eutrophication, and ensuing shifts in ecological communities.
