The naturally occurring taurine concentrations of rotifers (Brachionus sp.) may not be sufficient to meet the
nutritional demands of several species of marine fish larvae. In this study, we evaluated the use of liposomes
for taurine-enrichment of...

Water quality agencies and scientists are increasingly
adopting standardized sampling methodologies
because of the challenges associated with
interpreting data derived from dissimilar protocols.
Here, we compare 13 protocols for monitoring...

Straying by hatchery-reared salmon is a major concern for conservation and recovery of many salmon
populations. Fisheries managers have attempted to minimize negative ecological and genetic interactions
between hatchery and wild fish by using...

We inferred the population densities of blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) and short-beaked
common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) in the Northeast Pacific Ocean as functions
of the water-column’s physical structure by implementing hierarchical...

Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly applied in conservation management
to predict suitable habitat for poorly known populations. High predictive performance of
SDMs is evident in validations performed within the model calibration...

Meta-analyses of field studies have shown that biomass, density, species richness, and size of organisms protected by no-take marine reserves generally increase over time. The magnitude and timing of changes in these response variables, however,...

Most pathogen detection tests are imperfect, with a sensitivity < 100%, thereby resulting in the potential for a false negative, where a pathogen is present but not detected. False negatives in a sample inflate the number of non-detections,...

Statistics of central tendency and dispersion may
not capture relevant or desired characteristics of the distribution
of continuous phenomena and, thus, they may not
adequately describe temporal patterns of change. Here, we
present two...

Accurate assessment of specific mortality factors is vital to prioritize recovery actions for threatened and
endangered species. For decades, tag recovery methods have been used to estimate fish mortality due to avian
predation. Predation...

The traceability practices and systems of 48 separate seafood businesses were assessed as part of an evaluation
of 9 global seafood value chains (from catch to point of sale to the consumer). The purpose was to gain insights and
provide knowledge...

The Asian isopod Ianiropsis serricaudis is now well established in fouling communities, often associated with introduced ascidians,
throughout the Northern Hemisphere but has gone largely unnoticed because of its diminutive size (typically less...

Biological invasion potential can be strongly influenced by abiotic factors such as temperature, water availability, and solar
radiation. Invasive species that possess phenotypically plastic traits can mediate impacts from these stressors, but may...

Ecological niche models can be a useful tool to identify candidate reintroduction sites for endangered
species but have been infrequently used for this purpose. In this paper, we (1) develop activity-specific
ecological niche models (nesting,...

Recreational fishing has a long history in the USA, developing from the subsistence fisheries of Native Americans together with a partial subsistence fishery of later immigrants. Marine, diadromous, and aquatic taxa are targeted, including both...
