Contemporary Methods for Capturing Juvenile Salmonids in the Marine Environment

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anadromous salmonids play vital roles in marine and freshwater ecosystems. The most abundant of these fishes—Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.)—are integral to coastal ecosystems and communities across the North Pacific Rim, but numerous populations are experiencing dramatic declines, particularly towards the south of their range.

Navigating Narratives: An Exploratory Scoping Review on the Framing of the Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing Research

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable fisheries are often undermined by illegal, unreported and, in some cases, unregulated fishing (collectively, IUU fishing). As such, it is critical to ensure that current research effectively informs practical fisheries management interventions.
