TL;DR: An overview of the evolutionary and ecological impacts of infectious diseases in wild salmon is provided and ways in which modern technologies can elucidate the microparasites of greatest potential import are suggested.

TL;DR: It is shown that populations of shelf-dwelling sharks derive a substantial proportion of their carbon from regional pelagic sources, but contain individuals that forage within additional isotopically diverse local food webs, such as those supported by terrestrial plant sources, benthic production and macrophytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endangered wild salmon infected by newly discovered viruses

TL;DR: The discovery in dead and dying farmed salmon of previously unrecognised viruses that are also widely distributed in wild salmon, emphasizes the potential role that viral disease may play in the population dynamics of wild fish stocks, and the threat that these viruses may pose to aquaculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capture severity, infectious disease processes and sex influence post-release mortality of sockeye salmon bycatch.

TL;DR: Among Pacific salmon released from gillnets on their way to spawning grounds, those entangled for the longest amount of time, especially females, were very likely to die before spawning, and fish that died earliest were in poorer health than survivors and showed greater activity of several infectious disease causing microbes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trophic influences on mercury accumulation in top pelagic predators from offshore New England waters of the northwest Atlantic Ocean.
TL;DR: Results demonstrate mercury levels are positively related to size, diet and trophic position in sharks, tunas, and dolphinfish, and the majority of fishes exhibited concentrations greater than the US EPA recommended limit.
