Examining the Impact of Derelict Pots on Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) Catch and Harvest Within a Recreational Fishery

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Derelict fishing gear can negatively affect marine ecosystems through mortality in coastal environments. This study explored the impact of derelict and active crab pots on recreational blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) catch rates and landings in a Mid‐Atlantic estuary by deploying experimental pots in four habitat strata within three sections ...

Millennial-scale sustainability of the Chesapeake Bay Native American oyster fishery [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016
Significance Oysters are important organisms in estuaries around the world, influencing water quality, constructing habitat, and providing food for humans and wildlife. Following over a century of overfishing, pollution, disease, and habitat degradation, oyster populations in the Chesapeake Bay and elsewhere have declined dramatically.

Altered photoperiod affects behaviour in a key fish grazer, the thinlip grey mullet, Chelon ramada

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this study is to address experimentally the immediate impacts of an alteration of the photoperiod, simulating an extreme artificial light pollution, on the behaviour and stress of a key grazer fish common in temperate coastal ecosystems in Europe, the thinlip grey mullet, Chelon ramada.

Identifying thermally tolerant bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) source populations for restoration under climate change

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Kelp forests are declining in many parts of the world due to climate change and other stressors. Restoration is one solution to return kelp forests to places where they have been lost, yet continually warming oceans may necessitate the identification of thermally tolerant strains to facilitate the long‐term success of kelp restoration.

Ocean acidification increases the vulnerability of native oysters to predation by invasive snails [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014
There is growing concern that global environmental change might exacerbate the ecological impacts of invasive species by increasing theirper capitaeffects on native species. However, the mechanisms underlying such shifts in interaction strength are poorly understood.

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

Gaining ground: survival of native estuarine fauna exposed to recycled glass sand, a potential material for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The aim of this research is to develop an understanding of the potential for using recycled glass sand as a resource for restoring Louisiana's coastline by testing the effects of exposure of native estuarine fauna to recycled glass sand and other sand treatments in a laboratory environment.
