Disentangling ecological, behavioural and evolutionary factors responsible for the presence of stable population structure within wild populations has long been challenging to population geneticists. This study primarily aimed at decoding population structure of wild walleye (Sander vitreus) populations of Mistassini Lake (Québec, Canada) in order to define source populations to be used for the...
Measurements were made of the surface areas (As) of the skin and gills of larval and juvenile walleye Stizostedion vitreum with a body mass (M) of between 2mg (1 day post hatch) and 2.3g (98 days post hatch). The skin, with a relative surface area (As/M) of approximately 8500mm2g-1, accounted for more than 99.9% of the total surface area (skin + gills) at 1 day post hatch. The relative area of ...
A leading hypothesis to explain the dramatic decline of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in western Alaska during the latter part of the 20th century is a change in prey availability due to commercial fisheries. We tested this hypothesis by exploring the relationships between sea lion population trends, fishery catches, and the prey biomass accessible to sea lions around 33 rookeries betw...
A survey of size-specific mercury (Hg) concentrations in game fish from a subset of Maryland fresh and estuarine waters was conducted, in which Hg concentrations in 112 fish from seven freshwater impoundments and three tidal and four estuarine locations in Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries were measured. Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) was the most intensively examined species. Of the fish exa...
The English-Wabigoon River system in Northwestern Ontario, Canada, was one of the most heavily mercury-contaminated waterways in the world due to historical discharges in the 1960s from a chlor-alkali plant. This study examines long-term (1970-2010) monitoring data to assess temporal trends in mercury contamination in Walleye, Northern Pike and Lake Whitefish, three species important for sport ...
Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) inhabits the entire North Pacific region and supports the third largest fishery after walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). Although walleye pollock is often processed into various food products, Pacific and Atlantic cod are often preserved using salt for transport and consumption worldwide. Salt suppresses bacterial growth an...
Walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) form persistent midwater and near-bottom schools in the daytime during the winter spawning season in the eastern Bering Sea (EBS). Two spawning areas in the EBS, north of Unimak Island and near the Pribilof Islands, are also the main fishing grounds. To study the schooling pattern of pollock and its impact on fishing behavior on these two fishing grounds,...
Understanding the relationship between fish biology and target strength potentially improves the accuracy of acoustic assessments. The effects of individual biological factors (e.g., length, tilt, and depth) on backscatter amplitude have been examined, but the relative contribution of each factor has not been quantified. Dimensionless ratios, which facilitate comparison of disparate quantities,...
Predicting mercury (Hg) concentrations of fishes at large spatial scales is a fundamental environmental challenge with the potential to improve human health. In this study, mercury concentrations were examined for five species across 161 lakes and ecosystem, and watershed parameters were investigated as explanatory variables in statistical models. For all species, Hg concentrations were signifi...
On the basis of shipboard scans of stomach contents made during 1992-1996 in the Pacific waters off the northern Kuril Islands and southeastern Kamchatka, the diets and some aspects of trophic relations of Pacific ocean perch Sebastes alutus, walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma, and Atka mackerel Pleurogrammus monopterygius are considered. Comparison of their diets, features of interannual fe...
