Diet of juvenile skipjack herring Alosa chrysochloris: Ontogenetic shifts, predator–prey size ratios and mouth gape allometry

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 1, Page 384-399, July 2026.
Abstract The skipjack herring Alosa chrysochloris inhabits Gulf of Mexico drainages, primarily the Mississippi River Basin, and estuarine environments in the Gulf of Mexico. The trophic ecology of the skipjack herring is poorly understood, therefore we quantified the length, mouth gape and gut contents of juvenile skipjack herring from the Mississippi ...

Disturbance is the primary determinant of food chain length when the top predator is constant

Journal of Freshwater Ecology
Food chain length (FCL) is a primary determinant of food web structure and is hypothesized to be influenced by habitat size, productivity, and disturbance.

The influence of boating disturbance on the parental care behaviors of smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu)

Science of The Total Environment
Anthropogenic noise is a sensory pollutant altering aquatic soundscapes through increases in human-generated noise, such as those from the growing use of recreational boats. Motorboats produce low-frequency noise that overlaps with marine and freshwater fish hearing, yet freshwater species are less studied than their marine counterparts.

Selective fishing of smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu by soaking time zone of gillnet

NIPPON SUISAN GAKKAISHI, 2005
刺網によりコクチバスを効率的に漁獲して在来魚の混獲を軽減するために，コクチバスと在来魚が刺網に羅網しやすい時間帯を青木湖で調べた。魚の羅網時に生じる網の動きを時系列で記録できる振動検知器を底刺網に取り付けて，個体毎に羅網時刻を測定した。コクチバスの全漁獲尾数の 86% が日出から日没に羅網し，青木湖に生息する在来魚のフナは 92%，コイは 91% が日没から日出に羅網した。日出から日没に刺網を設置することにより，コクチバスを漁獲し，フナやコイの混獲を減らすことが可能である。

Local Angler Knowledge Reveals Declines in Fishing Quality for Black Bass in Lakes of Eastern Ontario

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 568-590, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Local ecological knowledge can be useful to assess data‐limited fisheries such as the Ontario Black Bass (Micropterus spp.) recreational fishery. We surveyed local anglers using the Life History Calendar approach to determine if there were perceived changes in fishing quality for Black Bass in eastern Ontario across different time periods. For
