Surf smelt accelerate usage of endogenous energy reserves under climate change.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Surf smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus) are ecologically critical forage fish in the North Pacific ecosystem. As obligate beach spawners, surf smelt embryos are exposed to wide-ranging marine and terrestrial environmental conditions. Despite this fact, very few

Use of affinity analysis to guide habitat restoration and enhancement for the imperiled delta smelt

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2020
Habitat restoration efforts in the upper San Francisco Estuary, including the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California, move forward, despite a paucity of information on the environmental requirements of many targeted species.

Molecular Identification of the Nematode Eustrongylides ignotus in Mandarin Fish, Siniperca chuatsi

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is a high‐value economic freshwater fish in China; however, the frequent occurrence of diseases threatens its production. To this end, we explored the impact of a nematode parasite newly found in the abdomen of mandarin fish collected from Pudong, Shanghai, China.

The transcriptome-wide effects of exposure to a pyrethroid pesticide on the Critically Endangered delta smelt Hypomesus transpacificus

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2015
Research into the effects of contaminants on fishes is often conducted on well-studied model test species, whose responses may be different than those of endangered species.

Marine mammal recovery is associated with the resurgence of a nematode parasite

open access: yesEcology, Volume 106, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract As the oceans change, the abundance of parasites and the risk of infection to marine mammals may also be changing. Nematodes in the family Anisakidae can harm marine mammals, and recent studies have revealed a global increase in these parasites, but the cause is unknown.

MaxTemp: A Method to Maximise Precision of the Temporal Method for Estimating Ne in Genetic Monitoring Programs

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT We introduce a new software program, MaxTemp, that increases precision of the temporal method for estimating effective population size (Ne) in genetic monitoring programs, which are increasingly used to systematically track changes in global biodiversity.

Do Snow‐Adapted Prey Facilitate Coexistence of the Sierra Nevada Red Fox With Sympatric Carnivores?

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Specialist species in alpine ecosystems may be increasingly threatened by climate‐driven habitat loss and encroachment by generalist competitors. Ecological theory predicts that niche differentiation through dietary specialisation can facilitate coexistence with generalist competitors.

Embryo Ecology of the Pacific Surf Smelt, Hypomesus pretiosus (Pisces: Osmeridae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
A study of the ecology of developing embryos of the Pacific surf smelt, Hypomesus pretiosus, was conducted. Embryos were maintained in the laboratory at 7.6, 12.1, and 17.6°C and the time to specific embryonic stages determined.

ARCTIC Aspects of the Life History of the Pond Smelt (Hypomesus olidus) in the Yukon and Northwest Territories

open access: yes, 1986
. The pond smelt (Hypomesus olidus) has a limited North American distribution, being restricted to the west coast of Alaska and the drainage of the lower Mackenzie River, N.W.T.

Modification of the biological intercept model to account for ontogenetic effects in laboratory-reared delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus)* [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We investigated age, growth, and ontogenetic effects on the proportionality of otolith size to fish size in laboratory-reared delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) from the San Francisco Bay estuary.
