The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Development and Survival of Alewife Eggs and Larvae
TLDR
Eggs from Lake Michigan alewives were incubated at 79 different temperatures from 42.1 to 87.0 F and survival of unfed larvae held at incubation temperatures increased from 3.8 days at 51 F to 7.6 days at 58–59 F and then decreased to 2.4 days at 80–82 F.Abstract:
Eggs from Lake Michigan alewives (Alosa pseudoharengus) were incubated at 79 different temperatures from 42.1 to 87.0 F. Hatching occurred at 44.4–84.9 F and was optimum (38% hatched) at about 64 F. Incubation time varied from 15 days at 45 F to 3.7 days at 70 F and 2.1 days at 84 F. Time from start to finish of hatching ranged from 13 days at about 46 F to 2–3 days at 68–70 F and 1–2 days at 80–84 F. Survival of unfed larvae held at incubation temperatures increased from 3.8 days at 51 F to 7.6 days at 58–59 F and then decreased to 2.4 days at 80–82 F.read more

Hydrology and freshwater ecology
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of climate change on the hydrological system of the world and its freshwater ecologies are discussed, including physical and chemical changes in freshwater ecosystems, together with changes in lake and stream biology.

Effect of Stock Size, Climate, Predation, and Trophic Status on Recruitment of Alewives in Lake Ontario, 1978–2000
TL;DR: A Ricker-type parent–progeny model suggested that peak production of age-1 alewives could occur over a broad range of spawning stock sizes, and the fit of the model was improved most by the addition of terms for lake trophic status.

Physical–biological coupling and the challenge of understanding fish recruitment in freshwater lakes
TL;DR: A review of the primary literature for freshwater and marine ecosystems revealed that coupled biophysical research on fish ELS has benefited our ability to understand and predict fish recruitment in marine ecosystems as mentioned in this paper.

Early life history of Lake Michigan alewives (Alosa pseudoharengus) inferred from intra-otolith stable isotope ratios
TL;DR: This paper applied a robotic micromilling technique to the sampling of young-of-the-year (YOY) and 1+ otoliths from alewives (Alosa pseudoharengus) captured in different habitat types of Lake Michigan.

Thermal Tolerances of Fish from a Reservoir Receiving Heated Effluent from a Nuclear Reactor
TL;DR: The increasing demand for electricity has resulted in widespread use of nuclear and fossil fuel power plants, and these plants eject massive amounts of heated water into a variety of aquatic environments, which needs to be maintained to maintain the quality of these environments.
