Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) distribution response to environmental variability in the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence.(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... Introduction Predictions of distribution changes in any species under rapidly evolving environmental conditions require that patterns of change be quantified and linked to underlying ecological processes (Lekve et al. 2002). Hence, distribution change related to habitat changes ...
Oxygen deficiency impacts on burying habitats for lesser sandeel, Ammodytes tobianus, in the inner Danish waters.(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... Introduction The marine coastal zone constitutes a minor part of the world's ocean but is nonetheless highly productive and plays an important role for many fish species (Beck et al. 2001). Some species occur in the coastal waters during juvenile life stages or migrate to them ...
Declining lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) energy density: are there too many salmonid predators in the Great Lakes?(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... Introduction As part of its Contaminants Surveillance Program, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has collected lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) annually from the Great Lakes since 1977. The objective of this program was to use the lake trout as a sentinel of environmental ...
Effects of population-specific variation in age and length on fishery selection and exploitation rates of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka).(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... Introduction Salmonids often form multiple, locally adapted spawning populations within and among drainage systems that differ at a wide variety of phenotypic traits under some measure of genetic control (Ricker 1972; Taylor 1991; reviewed in Quinn 2005). Among the most obvious ...
Aquatic connectivity and fish metacommunities in wetlands of the lower Great Lakes.(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... Introduction A number of concepts have been developed to explain species interactions and environment relationships at different spatial scales. General ecological theory currently recognizes two scales of processes: local processes, such as competition, predation, trophic ...
