Threat assessment for Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes personatus) in the Salish Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science
Like many forage fish species, Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes personatus) play a key role in nearshore marine ecosystems as an important prey source for a diverse array of predators in the northeastern Pacific. However, the primary threats to Pacific sand

Application of environmental DNA as a tool for detecting intertidal habitat use by forage fish

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Many coastal forage fish species spend most of their life history using the water column, but some species such as Pacific Sand Lance (Ammodytes personatus) and Surf Smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus) have a requirement for intertidal sediments for spawning and
