The Path to an Ecosystem Approach for Forage Fish Management: A Case Study of Atlantic Menhaden

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) support the largest fishery by volume on the United States East Coast, while also playing an important role as a forage species. Managers’ and stakeholders’ increasing concerns about the impact of Atlantic menhaden

Fads2 knockout mice reveal that ALA prevention of hepatic steatosis is dependent on delta-6 desaturase activity [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research
The production of the omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) relies on the delta-6 desaturase (D6D) enzyme encoded by the Fads2 gene.

Movements of post-breeding royal terns (Thalasseus maximus) in Virginia, U.S.A [PDF]

PeerJ
Seabirds use a variety of strategies to maximize survival during migration. We studied the post-incubation movements of royal terns (Thalasseus maximus) from the largest seabird colony in Virginia, U.S.A. to understand their behaviors after nesting.

Historical depletion and future drought-driven risks to Gulf of Mexico fisheries production [PDF]

Nature Communications
A major depletion of ~42% in total fisheries production occurred in the Gulf of Mexico in the early 1990’s but received limited scientific attention. Here, we show that terrestrial drought in the US during the late 1980s, combined with high Gulf menhaden

Dietary menhaden fish oil supplementation suppresses lipopolysaccharide-induced neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment in diabetic rats [PDF]

Pharmaceutical Biology
Context Menhaden fish oil (FO) is widely recognized for inhibiting neuroinflammatory responses and preserving brain function. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of FO influencing brain cognitive function in diabetic states remain unclear.Objective This study ...

Evidence for Ecosystem-Level Trophic Cascade Effects Involving Gulf Menhaden (Brevoortia patronus) Triggered by the Deepwater Horizon Blowout

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 ...

Food supplementation increases reproductive performance of ospreys in the lower Chesapeake Bay

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC), the governing body responsible for managing fisheries on the U.S. East Coast, formally adopted the use of Ecological Reference Points (ERPs) for Atlantic menhaden, Brevoortia tyrannus.

Identifying trade-offs and reference points in support of ecosystem approaches to managing Gulf of Mexico menhaden

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Gulf menhaden (Brevoortia patronus) support the largest fishery by yield in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) and are a key forage species for many marine predators.

Estimating potential menhaden consumption by double-crested cormorants along the coast of North Carolina

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The south Atlantic coast supports one of the highest assemblages of non-breeding double-crested cormorants (Nannopterum auritum) known and is a convergence area for Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) during the winter months.

Maternal diet influences offspring feeding behavior and fearfulness in the precocial chicken. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
In chicken, oils in the maternal diet confer a specific scent to the yolk. Embryos are known to perceive and memorize chemosensory signals of the surrounding environment; however, the potential impact of the maternal diet has not previously been ...
