Inland capture fishery contributions to global food security and threats to their future
Published on August 11, 2015
This paper highlights the importance of inland fisheries to global food security, the challenges they face due to competing demands for freshwater, and possible solutions. -
Activity patterns of the giant panda
Published on July 30, 2015
Activity patterns of the elusive and endangered giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) are not well understood -
An integrated approach to understanding the linkages between ecosystem services and human well-being
Published on July 22, 2015
We examined how human dependence on ES and HWB might be affected by direct drivers, such as a natural disaster, and how human dependence on ES and direct and indirect drivers might affect HWB. -
Quantifying human well-being for sustainability research and policy
Published on July 17, 2015
To address human dependence on natural resources and anthropogenic impacts on ecosystem health, understanding and management of the linkages between nature and human well-being (HWB) are urgently needed. -
Sea Lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) Populations in Northeastern North America: Genetic Differentiation and Affinities
Published on July 6, 2015
We examined genetic population structure in 3253 sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) sampled at 53 sites in northeastern North America and the British Isles -
Differences in sexual maturity and fall emigration between diploid and triploid brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) in an Adirondack lake
Published on July 6, 2015
High levels of emigration coincident with maturity and spawning have been reported from brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) populations in Adirondack lakes. -
Survival, Distribution, and Ion Composition in Two Strains of Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) Fry after Exposure to Episodic pH Depressions in an Adirondack Lake
Published on July 6, 2015
Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) fry are susceptible to high mortality in acidified waters because of their low tolerance to acidic conditions and the potential occurrence of this life stage with episodic acidification associated with snowmelt -
Heritage Brook Trout in Northeastern USA: Genetic Variability within and among Populations
Published on July 6, 2015
Brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis from 21 unstocked waters, 3 naturalized lakes, and 4 hatcheries in New York and Pennsylvania were analyzed electrophoretically for allozyme expression. Thirty-two of the 68 loci examined were polymorphic. -
Stock Structure of Rainbow Smelt in Western Lake Superior: Biochemical Genetics
Published on July 6, 2015
Serum transferrin (TFN) and glucosephosphate isomerase from white muscle were examined in rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax from Lake Superio -
Ecology of Pacific Salmon: Introduction
Published on July 6, 2015
A key component of the program goal of the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim Sustainable Salmon Initiative (AYK SSI) is to “..understand the trends and causes of variation in abundance and fisheries...” of Pacific salmon -
Growth, Mortality, and Mark Retention of Hatchery Brook Trout Marked with Visible Implant Tags, Jaw Tags, and Adipose Fin Clips
Published on July 6, 2015
Growth, mortality, mark retention, and mark readability were compared among control and treatment groups of 197-265-mm hatchery brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis marked with visible implant tags, adipose tin clips, or stainless steel circularstrap jaw tags -
Diet and Prey Selection of Naturalized Smallmouth Bass in an Oligotrophic Adirondack Lake
Published on July 6, 2015
Smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) introduced nearly 50 years ago have established a permanent population in Little Moose Lake, NY. -
Reproductive Isolation in Sympatric Populations of Pallid and Shovelnose Sturgeon
Published on July 6, 2015
Pallid sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus and shovelnose sturgeon S. platorynchus are recognized morphologically as separate species -
Survival, Growth, Movement, and Distribution of Two Brook Trout Strains Stocked into Small Adirondack Streams
Published on July 6, 2015
Six field trials were conducted in two streams to compare the survival, growth, movement, and distribution of young-of-year Assinica strain and Temiscamie strain brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis 15-91 d after stocking -
If Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus is ‘the most diverse vertebrate', what is the lake charr Salvelinus namaycush?
Published on June 17, 2015
Teleost fishes are prominent vertebrate models of evolution, illustrated among old-world radiations by the Cichlidae of East African Great Lakes and new-world radiations by the circumpolar Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus. Herein, we describe variation -
Inheritance of duplicated fumarase and phosphoglucomutase loci in lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush)
Published on June 17, 2015
Two polymorphic, duplicated loci (fumarase-1,2 and phosphoglucomutase-3,4), previously undescribed in salmonids, were examined in lake trout to determine their electrophoretic expression, mode of inheritance, and linkage associations. -
Genetic Aspects of Fisheries Rehabilitation Programs
Published on June 17, 2015
The stocking of indigenous or exotic fish species is often a desirable aspect of fisheries rehabilitation programs. -
Genetic variation at microsatellite loci in sturgeon: primer sequence homology in Acipenser and Scaphirhynchus
Published on June 17, 2015
Eleven motif microsatellite loci were identified in a lake sturgeon genomic library and were tested against the six North American species of Acipenser and the two species of Scaphirhynchus using four to six individuals of each species. -
