Advances in Models for Assessing Interactions of Forage Fish and Their Predators and Application to Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management (EBFM)
Koehn, Laura ElizabethEcosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) involves considering tradeoffs between competing objectives in fisheries management. Forage fish world-wide are an important prey source for a wide range of predators but also ... -
Effects of variation in the visual environment on the feeding and catchability of Alaska fishes
Rohan, Sean KhosukeAquatic animals use vision to perform tasks such as feeding, threat detection and avoidance, orientation, and social behavior. Thus, changes in light and water clarity can disrupt processes that affect the biological ... -
Growth and maturity of Longnose Skates (Raja rhina) along the North American West Coast
Arrington, Morgan BrittanyInformation on the growth and maturation of exploited fishes is important for assessing and managing fish populations. These life history processes commonly vary spatially and temporarily in marine fishes due to environmental ... -
Implications of demographic diversity for forage fish, their fisheries, and ecosystems
Siple, Margaret ClarkForage fish play a key role in marine ecosystems and fisheries worldwide. They are highly productive, and undergo dramatic fluctuations in productivity, which interact with fishing pressure and spatial dynamics to generate ... -
The non-lethal threat of hypoxia: ecological effects and physiological responses of estuarine species
Froehlich, Halley ElizabethHypoxia [dissolved oxygen (DO) < 2 mg/L] is one of the key threats to some of the most productive regions of the marine environment (e.g., estuaries). Although mortality can occur, mobile organisms have the potential to ... -
Understanding the impacts of anthropogenic stressors on species, ecosystems, and fishing communities
Hodgson, Emma E.Anthropogenic modifications of marine environments result from a variety of activities and have effects across social and ecological dimensions. Humans inhabit linked systems, where our actions such as resource extraction, ...
