Sublethal salinity stress contributes to habitat limitation in an endangered estuarine fish. [PDF]

, 2016
As global change alters multiple environmental conditions, predicting species' responses can be challenging without understanding how each environmental factor influences organismal performance.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the European smelt Osmerus eperlanus (Osmeriformes, Osmeridae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome was sequenced in two individuals of the European smelt Osmerus eperlanus. The genome sequences are 16,608 and 16,609 bp in size, and the gene arrangement, composition, and size are very similar to the other smelt mt

Consequences of temperature and temperature variability on swimming activity, group structure, and predation of endangered delta smelt [PDF]

, 2019
The effects of water temperature on individual and group movement behaviour in prey fish can affect ecological interactions such as competition and predation, but how variability in temperature influence fish behaviour is less understood.

Efficacy of a sensory deterrent and pipe modifications in decreasing entrainment of juvenile green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris) at unscreened water diversions. [PDF]

, 2014
Water projects designed to extract fresh water for local urban, industrial and agricultural use throughout rivers and estuaries worldwide have contributed to the fragmentation and degradation of suitable habitat for native fishes.

Anticoagulant activity of a natural protein purified from Hypomesus olidus [PDF]

Natural Product Research, 2016
A novel anticoagulant protein (E-II-1) was separated and purified from Hypomesus olidus, a unique freshwater fish in northern China. E-II-1 had a molecular mass of approximately 40 kDa with no subunits. The high content of hydrophobic amino acids and negatively charged amino acids in E-II-1 demonstrated that the amino acid compositions might contribute

Long-term prediction of $$^{137}$$ 137 Cs in Lake Onuma on Mt. Akagi after the Fukushima accident using fractional diffusion model

Scientific Reports, 2021
The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident also contaminates lakes in Japan. Especially in closed lakes, there is a problem of prolonged low-level $$^{137}$$ 137 Cs contamination because the activity concentration of $$^{137}$$ 137 Cs declines ...

Salinity Changes the Dynamics of Pyrethroid Toxicity in Terms of Behavioral Effects on Newly Hatched Delta Smelt Larvae

Toxics, 2021
Salinity can interact with organic compounds and modulate their toxicity. Studies have shown that the fraction of pyrethroid insecticides in the aqueous phase increases with increasing salinity, potentially increasing the risk of exposure for aquatic ...

The biodiversity crisis in Canada: failures and challenges of federal and sub-national strategic and legal frameworks

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

Analysis of Limiting Factors Across the Life Cycle of Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) [PDF]

Environmental Management, 2018
We developed a mechanistic life-cycle model derived from the elicitation of multiple factors influencing the success of individual life-stages of the imperiled delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus). We discuss the relevance of limiting factors in population ecology and problems with additive models in detecting them.
