TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a management belief system that relies upon natural habitat restoration and maintenance, as opposed to artificial propagation, installation of artificial instream structures (river engineering) and predator control.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the literature on fish behavior as it relates to passage of fish near or through hydropower turbines and evaluated the compatibility of engineered systems with the normal behavior patterns of fish species and life stages such that passage into turbines and injury in passage are minimized.

TL;DR: Striped bass Morone saxatilis has a paradoxical record of distribution and abundance, including population declines in coastal waters and variable success of freshwater introductions, and the thermal niche-dissolved oxygen hypothesis is proposed as a unified perspective of the habitat requirements of the species.

TL;DR: The south-eastern United States and Gulf Coast of Mexico is physiographically diverse, although dominated by a broad coastal plain this paper, and the region has a humid, warm temperate climate with little seasonality in precipitation but strong seasonal in runoff owing to high rates of summer evapotranspiration.

TL;DR: It was found that slight differences in the degree of dispersal of initial sizes of individuals were probably more important in influencing the population dynamics than alternative food availability or other factors.
