The ability to distinguish between different migratory behaviours (e.g., anadromy and potamodromy) in fish can provide important insights into the ecology, evolution, and conservation of many aquatic species.

Acid-soluble collagen (ASC) is generally extracted by acid solubilization, followed by precipitation and dialysis. Such a process is typically time consuming and tedious, especially for dialysis.

ABSTRACT The global decline in salmonid stocks has increased the need for knowledge of local adaptations and life history strategies of salmonids. In this study, we used radio‐telemetry tracking data from sea trout populations in two large high‐latitude rivers to model upstream spawning migration speed of trout in response to prevailing environmental ...

How has parasitism changed for Alaskan salmon over the past several decades? Parasitological assessments of salmon are inconsistent across time, and though parasite data are sometimes noted when processing fillets for the market, those data are not ...

Spatial and ecological structure of the sockeye salmon population Oncorhynchus nerka of Kuril Lake [PDF]
This study examines the genetic structure of sockeye salmon populations in Kuril lake basin, focusing on the allelic frequencies of SNP loci that potentially carry an adaptive load. Our results reveal the division of sockeye salmon populations into three

The Effects of Nutrient Additions on Kokanee in Dworshak Reservoir, Idaho
ABSTRACT We investigated the effects of whole reservoir nitrogen (N) addition on kokanee growth in Dworshak Reservoir, Idaho. We hypothesized that N addition would improve the growth of kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) at a given level of abundance by increasing the availability of Daphnia, an important food source.

We have examined the phylogenetic relationships, genomic structure, admixture, and historical gene flow among the endemic charrs from the Kronotskoe‐Uzon water system in Kamchatka, in order to reconstruct their evolutionary history. We found that this unique diversity formed in the post‐LGM—Holocene time as a result of several waves of Salvelinus malma

High and minimally variable adult marine survival among multiple stocks of Chinook salmon
Abstract Estimates of individual survival across space and time provide critical information on processes that regulate population abundance. Here, we use state‐space models fit to data from more than 500 acoustically tagged Chinook salmon to better understand the factors that shape survival during the final summer and fall of marine residence—a life ...

Due to the mediating role of body size in determining fitness, the “bigger‐is‐better” hypothesis still pervades evolutionary ecology despite evidence that natural selection on phenotypic traits varies in time and space.

Abstract Scavengers play a key role in recycling animal biomass, yet the relative contributions of insects and vertebrates to this process remain poorly understood. Moreover, understanding whether one scavenger group can compensate for the absence of another is critical for predicting how carrion decomposition may respond to changes in community ...
