Threshold effects are common in ecosystems and can generate counterintuitive outcomes in management interventions. A threshold effect proposed for steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is size-conditional smolting and marine survival.

ABSTRACT Declines in wild Atlantic salmon populations in the North Atlantic with migratory routes adjacent to commercial salmonid aquaculture operations in coastal marine environments have raised concerns about the potential for direct or indirect effects this industry may have on local wild populations.

ABSTRACT Groundwater discharge plays an important role in the hydrologic and ecologic functioning of rivers including sustaining streamflow and related habitat year‐round. Simultaneously, groundwater supports the increasing demands of people as the global population continues to grow.

Successful valley bottom restoration requires an understanding of current and historical conditions determining whether a reach can currently support a multi‐thread or meandering channel, an understanding of reference conditions to assist with design, clear objectives to evaluate design alternatives, and post‐project monitoring of success using a ...

The genetic architecture of phenotypic correlations offers insights into how natural selection operates in the wild. Two functional phenotypes in Atlantic salmon, early life exploration and age‐at‐maturity, are correlated at an adaptive genomic hotspot, but through distinct genetic markers (SNPs), ruling out causality.

Epigenetics in Captivity: Restoring Wild Phenotypes in Captive‐Reared Salmonids
ABSTRACT Captive rearing is a common practice for the stocking, conservation, and supplementation of fish species worldwide, but captive‐reared fish can exhibit altered phenotypes leading to reduced fitness in nature compared to wild conspecifics. In salmonids, certain studies have found limited genetic differentiation between wild and captive‐reared ...

ABSTRACT Conservation hatcheries aim to produce fish for supplementation of wild populations, but hatchery environments may drive phenotypic divergence from wild fish. These diverged traits may have reduced fitness in the wild, which could compromise wild population sustainability and evolutionary potential, such as in response to climate change. Delta
