Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 470-483, December 2022., 2022 In Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming, lake trout carcasses are used to suppress invasive lake trout embryos in an effort to conserve native Yellowstone cutthroat trout. Using a field experiment, we determined that carcass treatment had limited, non‐target effects on benthic invertebrates.

Scaling of population resilience with dispersal length and habitat size [PDF]
, 2021 Environmental fluctuations can create population-depleted areas and even extinct areas for the population. This effect is more severe in the presence of the Allee effect (decreasing growth rate at low population densities). Dispersal inside the habitat provides a rescue effect on population-depleted areas, enhancing the population resilience to ...

The restoration potential of offshore mussel farming on degraded seabed habitat
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 437-449, December 2022., 2022 Due to the artificial structures that accumulate mussels and exclude destructive fishing practices, the seabed could be restored by the installation of mussel farming structure. After four years, there was a significantly greater abundance of mobile taxa compared to the Controls that remained open to trawling. Commercial European lobster and brown crab

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 507-521, December 2022., 2022 Graphical Abstract This study deals with a timely topic, COVID‐19, whose impacts on aquaculture have never been quantified in Benin. Direct discussions were held with aquaculture producers to understand how they are feeling the impact of the pandemic on their business.

Habitat variability does not generally promote metabolic network modularity in flies and mammals [PDF]
Biosystems 139, 46-54 (2016), 2015 The evolution of species habitat range is an important topic over a wide range of research fields. In higher organisms, habitat range evolution is generally associated with genetic events such as gene duplication. However, the specific factors that determine habitat variability remain unclear at higher levels of biological organization (e.g ...

Backpack electrofishing does not contribute to external signs of gas bubble trauma in sculpins
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 572-577, December 2022., 2022 Abstract We exposed prickly sculpin Cottus asper and reticulate sculpin Cottus perplexus to electroshock and sham treatments in a controlled laboratory setting to determine if backpack electrofishing contributed to or exacerbated external signs of gas bubble trauma (GBT) in fish exposed to elevated total dissolved gas (TDG) levels. Fish were exposed to

Measuring acoustic habitats [PDF]
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 Summary Many organisms depend on sound for communication, predator/prey detection and navigation. The acoustic environment can therefore play an important role in ecosystem dynamics and evolution. A growing number of studies are documenting acoustic habitats and their influences on animal development, behaviour, physiology and spatial ecology, which ...

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 552-561, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Seahorses (Genus Hippocampus; Family Syngnathidae) are iconic fish characterised by tails with prehensile capabilities, which develop after the transition from planktonic to benthonic lifestyle. As a result, seahorses remain attached to vegetal structures or other elements most of the time, both in the wild and under rearing conditions. In the

Autonomous Mosquito Habitat Detection Using Satellite Imagery and Convolutional Neural Networks for Disease Risk Mapping [PDF]
, 2022 Mosquitoes are known vectors for disease transmission that cause over one million deaths globally each year. The majority of natural mosquito habitats are areas containing standing water that are challenging to detect using conventional ground-based technology on a macro scale.
