  • In the footsteps of a heroine: honoring Janice Lee Fenske

    Published on August 25, 2016
    The Fenske Fellowship is a recruitment award offered through the Dept. of Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University that provides financial support for students to integrate fisheries management experiences into their graduate research programs.

  • Variation of soil hydraulic properties with alpine grassland degradation in the Eastern Tibetan Plateau

    Published on August 8, 2016
    In this study, soil field capacity (FC) and saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) together with several basic soil properties under light degraded (LD), moderate degraded (MD) and severe degraded (SD) alpine swamp meadow were investigated.

  • To evolve, or not to evolve? - that is the question

    Published on August 3, 2016
    Formal and informal education, along with the presence of good mentors, is paramount in readying developing professionals for success in a changing environment and an evolving profession.

  • The underappreciated livelihood contributions of inland fisheries and the societal consequences of their neglect

    Published on July 14, 2016
    This paper explores approaches that consider the knowledge and perspective of fishers, fish workers, other aquatic resource users, and their communities to augment and improve the knowledge in better managing freshwater fisheries resources.

  • Preparing the next generation of fisheries professionals

    Published on June 28, 2016
    Here we describe six action items that we believe can help enhance fisheries education and effectively prepare students for successful careers in fisheries.

  • Improvements in ecosystem services from investments in natural capital

    Published on June 16, 2016
    We report on China’s first national ecosystem assessment.

  • Climate change and fisheries education

    Published on June 3, 2016
    As climate change intensifies, we believe it is imperative that students and young professionals acquire basic and applied knowledge of climate change as it relates inland fisheries.

  • Otoliths as elemental tracers of walleye environmental history: insights for interjurisdictional fisheries management

    Published on May 20, 2016
    Understanding fish natal origins and movement is important for managing interjurisdictional fisheries.

  • Stable isotopic analysis of four Lake Trout morphotypes in Great Bear lake (NT): Coexistence of multiple trophic generalists.

    Published on May 5, 2016
    To better understand how resources may be partitioned in a northern system that supports intraspecific diversity of Lake Trout, trophic niches were compared among four shallow-water morphotypes in Great Bear Lake.

  • Influences of environmental variation on anadromous Arctic charr from the Hornaday River, NWT.

    Published on May 5, 2016
    In this study, associations were found between temporal environmental variation and Arctic charr length- and weight-based growth using data from fish captured in the Hornaday River fishery.

  • Evolution and origin of sympatric shallow-water morphotypes of Lake Trout, Salvelinus namaycush, in Canada's Great Bear Lake

    Published on May 5, 2016
    Here, we assess microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA variation among Lake Trout from the five distinct arms of GBL, and also from locations outside of this system to evaluate hypotheses concerning the evolution of morphological variation in this species.

  • Working with Northern Communities to Build Collaborative Research Partnerships: Perspectives from Early Career Researchers.

    Published on May 5, 2016
    The growing impetus for local community involvement in northern research result has been efforts to form community-collaborative research programs across disciplines ranging from health and environmental sciences to social sciences.

  • Fatty acid signatures and stomach contents of four sympatric Lake Trout: assessment of trophic patterns among morphotypes in Great Bear Lake.

    Published on May 5, 2016
    To investigate diet partitioning as a potential explanatory mechanism for this diversification, we assessed trophic characteristics and relationships among four sympatric shallow‐water morphs of Lake Trout via analyses of fatty acids and stomach contents.

  • Life history differences between fat and lean lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) morphs in Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada.

    Published on May 5, 2016
    Life history characteristics were compared between fat and lean morphs of lake charr Salvelinus namaycush in Great Slave Lake, Canada, to determine if differences may reflect effects of resource polymorphism.

  • Latitudinal variation in growth among Arctic charr in eastern North America: evidence for countergradient variation?

    Published on May 5, 2016
    Biological data from 66 populations of Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus, from eastern North America were analysed to test the applicability of the countergradient hypothesis as an explanation of differences in seasonally adjusted growth rates

  • Challenge to the model for lake charr evolution: Co-existence of shallow- and deep-water morphs in a small postglacial lake.

    Published on May 5, 2016
    Morphology, diet, life history, and genetics were examined to demonstrate the existence of morphs and determine the potential influence of evolutionary processes that led to their formation or maintenance.

  • Polymorphism in Lake Trout in Great Bear Lake: intra-lake morphological diversification at two spatial scales. Biological Journal of Linnean Biology Society

    Published on May 5, 2016
    This paper focused on geographical patterns of morphological differentiation within lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) to describe two levels of intralake diversification in Great Bear Lake.

  • Life-history variation among four shallow-water morphotypes of Lake Trout from Great Bear Lake, NT.

    Published on May 5, 2016
    Phenotypic variation within populations is common in many salmonids, especially when inhabiting northern postglacial systems.

  • Sympatric Polymorphism in Lake Trout: The Coexistence of Multiple Shallow-Water Morphotypes in Great Bear Lake

    Published on May 5, 2016
    This study examined the polymorphism of Lake Trout inhabiting the shallow-water zones (≤30 m) of Great Bear Lake, Northwest Territories.

  • Climate change impacts on freshwater fishes: A Canadian perspective.

    Published on May 5, 2016
    Here we provide a perspective from the Canadian Aquatic Resources Section on the impacts of climate change to freshwater fishes.
