Contrasting Food Web Dynamics Across Oceanographic Boundaries in Subarctic Pelagic Ecosystems

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the structure of pelagic food webs across multiple trophic levels is critical for elucidating species interactions, energy flow, and anthropogenic impacts on production. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the eastern North Pacific pelagic food webs, focusing on the Gulf of Alaska (GoA) during late winter of 2019.

Two Types of cDNAs Encoding Proopiomelanocortin of Sockeye Salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka [PDF]

open access: yesZoological Science, 1996
To investigate regulatory mechanisms of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) gene expression in sockeye salmon, we have isolated and characterized cDNAs encoding two types of sockeye salmon POMC, which are referred to as ssPOMC-A and -B. Two types of PCR products were amplified from total RNA of sockeye salmon pituitaries by use of rainbow trout sequences.

Genes, fish and fisheries: translating science into policy

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The 2024 Annual Symposium of the Fisheries Society of the British Isles reviewed the burgeoning impact of ‘omics’ technologies on fish ecology, management and forecasting. As with life sciences more generally, major advances in speed, cost‐effectiveness and breadth of applications in ‘omics’ has had profound societal and environmental impacts.

Maintenance of Genetic Diversity in Natural Spawning of Captively-Reared Endangered Sockeye Salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka

open access: yesDiversity, 2014
Captive propagation of Pacific salmon is routine, but few captive breeding programs have been conducted to successfully re-establish extirpated wild populations.

Optimizing Selection of Brown Bear Hair for Noninvasive Genetic Analysis

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2020
Many wildlife studies use noninvasive survey methods such as barbed wire to obtain hair samples for DNA analysis. If laboratory costs preclude processing all samples, it may be important to know a priori which samples are most likely to yield useful DNA.

Consequences of a sockeye salmon shortage for the brown bear in the basin of Lake Kurilskoe, Southern Kamchatka

open access: yesNature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2021
We studied the behavioural ecology of Ursus arctos (hereinafter – brown bear or bear) in the basin of Lake Kurilskoe (Kamchatka Peninsula) in the summer and autumn of 2017–2018. The aim of this study was a comparative assessment of the behaviour of brown

Freshwater hydrology emerges as the strongest predictor of phenological variability in a Southeast Alaska steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) population

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Phenological variation, such as the migration trends of salmonids, may provide resilience in changing environmental scenarios, influencing individual survival and population productivity. Phenological shifts may be particularly consequential for anadromous species that rely on seasonal cues for migration between freshwater and marine habitats ...

Swimming performance of the freshwater neotropical fish: Pimelodus maculatus Lacepède, 1803

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
The present study used fixed and increasing velocity tests in an experimental apparatus based on Brett's respirometer to examine prolonged and sustained speeds of the "mandi-amarelo", Pimelodus maculatus.

Interaction between watershed features and climate forcing affects habitat profitability for juvenile salmon

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
Opportunities for growth and survival of aquatic organisms are spatially and temporally variable as habitat conditions across watersheds respond to interacting climatic, geomorphic, and hydrologic conditions.

Evaluating Environmental DNA for Pacific Salmon Spawner Enumeration Across Diverse Freshwater Systems

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Advancing environmental DNA (eDNA) beyond species detection could provide scalable tools for estimating fish abundance, but the predictive relationships between eDNA concentration and abundance are often system‐specific and influenced by highly variable environmental conditions.
