Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy, precision and quality control in age determination, including a review of the use and abuse of age validation methods
TL;DR: This review highlights the best available methods for insuring ageing accuracy and quantifying ageing precision, whether in support of large-scale production ageing or a small-scale research project.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graphical and Statistical Methods for Determining the Consistency of Age Determinations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated a variety of graphical and statistical approaches for making paired age comparisons from the standpoint of both detecting age differences and assessing precision, using data from an age comparison study of haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen and phosphorus excretion by detritivorous gizzard shad in a reservoir ecosystem
Maynard H. Schaus,Michael J. Vanni,T. E. Wissing,Mary T. Bremigan,James E. Garvey,Roy A. Stein +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that nutrient excretion by detritivorous fish can be an important source of nutrients to open waters, especially when other sources of nutrients are reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of introduced lake trout on native cutthroat trout in yellowstone lake
TL;DR: The establishment of a reproducing population of nonnative lake trout poses a serious threat to the integrity of the Yellowstone Lake ecosystem, particularly to the indigenous cutthroat trout, and standard fisheries techniques were used to quantify the population-level impact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth and longevity in freshwater mussels: evolutionary and conservation implications
TL;DR: The great variability in age and growth among and within species shows that allocation to growth is highly plastic in freshwater mussels, and the strong negative relationship between growth and longevity suggests this is an important trade‐off describing widely divergent life‐history strategies.
