Bathymetric Profile and Sediment Composition of a Dynamic Subtidal Bedform Habitat for Pacific Sand Lance

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The eastern North Pacific Ocean coastline (from the Salish Sea to the western Aleutian Islands) is highly glaciated with relic sediment deposits scattered throughout a highly contoured and variable bathymetry.

Ex Situ Target Strength Measurements of Pacific Herring and Pacific Sand Lance

North American Journal of Fisheries Management, 2002
Abstract Near-dorsal aspect target strengths (TS) of individual live juvenile and adult Pacific herring Clupea pallasi and juvenile Pacific sand lance Ammodytes hexapterus were measured ex situ with 120-kHz dual-beam acoustics. An experimental frame was designed to support a transducer, fish cage, standard calibration target, and two video cameras ...

Intertidal beach habitat suitability model for Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes personatus) in the Salish Sea, Canada [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2022
Pacific sand lance ( Ammodytes personatus) support marine food webs in the Salish Sea, yet our knowledge of intertidal spawning habitat for this species is limited. Increasing participation in community science surveys for intertidal sand lance spawning has resulted in the detection of eggs on more than 90 beaches in the Canadian Salish Sea since 2001.

Salish Sea Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes personatus) spawning habitat distribution, population trajectory, and threats

, 2023
Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes personatus) are a small forage fish that play a significant role in the nearshore ecosystems of the Salish Sea, a highly biodiverse and densely populated inland sea in the northeast Pacific Ocean. Despite this important role, sand lance are data deficient.

Assessing the Speciation of a Cold Water Species, Japanese Sand Lance Ammodytes personatus, in the Northwestern Pacific by AFLP Markers [PDF]

Animals, 2018
The use of molecular techniques in biodiversity research increasingly results in the recognition of multiple divergent mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineages below the morphospecies level.

The effects of playbacks of anthropogenic noise on the anti‐predator behaviour of Pacific sand lance, Ammodytes personatus

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Noise from human activities has increased and been shown to negatively impact marine animals. Marine mammals and fish are vulnerable to anthropogenic noise because they rely on sound to communicate, find food, avoid predators and sense their environment. Forage fish are small schooling pelagic fish, important to many predators and instrumental

Influence of Foraging Effort and Diet on Maternal Energy Stores and Offspring Weaning Mass in Gray Seals (<i>Halichoerus grypus</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Understanding how foraging behavior and diet influences individual reproductive success is a key interest in evolutionary ecology. Using data collected from female gray seals (Halichoerus grypus) at Sable Island, Canada, between 1995 and 2018, we tested the hypothesis that differences in foraging behavior and diet prior to the breeding season ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short-term tactics and long-term impacts. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Maternal transfer of polychlorinated biphenyls in Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes personatus), Puget Sound, Washington [PDF]

Science of The Total Environment, 2021
We measured polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in multiple age and size classes of Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes personatus), including eggs, young-of-the year, and adults to evaluate maternal transfer as a pathway for contaminant uptake and to add to the limited information on the occurrence of PCBs in sand lance in Puget Sound.
