The influence of littoral zone coarse woody habitat on home range size, spatial distribution, and feeding ecology of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides)

TL;DR: The results suggest that lakeshore residential development and associated removals of CWH from lakes may influence fish behavior, while CWH augmentation may reverse some of those changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of recreational and commercial fishing on blue sharks (Prionace glauca) in Atlantic Canada, with inferences on the North Atlantic population

TL;DR: The nominal catch of blue sharks (Prionace glauca) reported for the Canadian Atlantic grossly underestimates the annual catch mortality of about 1000 tonnes (t), making blue sharks the most frequently caught large shark in Canadian waters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kin discrimination in salmonids

TL;DR: It is suggested that significant selection pressures towards kin discrimination behaviour patterns result from kin-biased territorial defence behaviour patterns in salmonids and non-salmonid species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of the Kalman filter to reconstruct historical trends in productivity of Bristol Bay sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka)

TL;DR: Historical data is used along with a Kalman filter that included a time-varying Ricker a parameter to reconstruct changes in productivity of eight Bristol Bay, Alaska, sockeye salmon stocks over the past 40 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparing rates of contemporary evolution in life-history traits for exploited fish stocks

TL;DR: The relative speed of trait change is investigated by comparing rates of evolution in haldanes and darwins for size at maturation as measured by probabilistic maturation norm midpoints for fish stocks from the Pacific Ocean, North Atlantic, Barents Sea, eastern Baltic Sea, and the North Sea.
