Growth Depensation in Year-0 Largemouth Bass: The Influence of Diet

TL;DR: Young-of-the-year largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides in Lake Opinicon, Ontario, displayed a divergence in size over their first summer and appeared to be underlain by differences in diet and prey availability.

Metabolic shifts in the Antarctic fish Notothenia rossii in response to rising temperature and PCO2

TL;DR: New set points of acid–base regulation under hypercapnia, visible at the systemic and intracellular level, indicate that N. rossii can at least in part acclimate to ocean warming and acidification.

Implications of interference among fishing vessels and the ideal free distribution to the interpretation of CPUE

TL;DR: Despite recognized biases, catch per unit effort statistics remain widely used for the estimation of fish abundance and can be a misleading index of abunda...

The rate of predation by fishes on hatchlings of the green turtle ( Chelonia mydas)

TL;DR: The results suggest that noctural emergence from the nest is a behavioral adaptation to minimize exposure to the heat of the day rather than a predator-escape mechanism.

Growth, Natural Mortality, and Predicted Response to Fishing for Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass Populations in North America

TL;DR: Growth, natural mortality, latitude, elevation, average air temperature, and degreedays exceeding 10°C were summarized for 698 populations of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and 409 populations of smallmouth bass M. dolomieu in North America and used in simulations to determine the effects of fishing on populations of varying productivity.
