Identifying and monitoring of forage fish spawning beaches in British Columbia’s Salish Sea for conservation of forage fish [PDF]
FACETS, 2021 Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes personatus) and surf smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus) are ecologically important forage fish in the marine food webs within the Salish Sea, including British Columbia (BC). Although important, little information exists around the

Forage fish for cod and people. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 Ecosystem-based fishery management (EBFM), which is now widely accepted (1⇓–3), calls for consideration of ecological linkages between marine species when regulating harvest levels. However, whether and how to alter harvest rates and minimum biomass limits (relative to conventional single-species approaches) to protect ecosystem integrity is less ...

Fishing amplifies forage fish population collapses. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2015 Significance Forage fish provide substantial benefits to both humans and ocean food webs, but these benefits may be in conflict unless there are effective policies governing human activities, such as fishing. Collapses of forage fish induce widespread ecological effects on dependent predators, but attributing collapses to fishing has ...

Environment drives forage fish productivity. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2015 Understanding the interaction between fishing and natural variations in productivity is a central question in fisheries management. Essington et al. (1) advance the discussion on drivers of forage fish dynamics by highlighting the role of natural decreases in biomass collapses.

Stop-loss order for forage fish fisheries. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2015 Recent literature has highlighted the exceptional importance of forage fish, which include some of the largest fisheries in the world and produce a sizeable share of the global wild marine fish catch (1). Forage species play an essential and valuable supporting role within marine ecosystems by serving as prey for larger species (2,

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Unprecedented recruitment of Gulf menhaden (Brevoortia patronus) followed the 2010 Deepwater Horizon blowout (DWH). The foregone consumption of Gulf menhaden, after their many predator species were killed by oiling, increased competition among menhaden ...

Patterns of foraging in labrid fishes [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2002 ABSTRACT: Patterns of foraging behaviour are described for a local assemblage of wrasses (Labridae) at the within-habitat scale of 2 fringing reef sites at Lizard Island, northern Great Barrier Reef, to examine the relationship between locomotor abilities and foraging patterns.
