One of the most remarkable types of migration found in animals is diadromy, a life-history behaviour in which individuals move between oceans and freshwater habitats for feeding and reproduction. Diadromous fishes include iconic species such as salmon, eels and shad, and have long fascinated biologists because they undergo extraordinary physiological and behavioural modifications to survive in ...

The epipelagic and mesopelagic nekton communities of the northern California Current have been sampled somewhat continuously over the last four decades with bottom and pelagic trawls, small midwater trawls, and purse seines. We review the zoogeography and community and environmental associations of the dominant pelagic micronekton and nekton species in this region with a view to understanding t...

The US Pacific Coast has been largely free of fishery collapses that have occurred elsewhere, but the situation appears to be changing. Here, we show results from the first systematic study of demersal fishes along the US Pacific Coast. Using data from a quarter-century long, fishery-independent, coast-wide trawl survey, we document fundamental shifts in the demersal fish assemblage along the U...

Many fish species are shifting spatial distributions in response to climate change, but projecting these shifts and measuring their impact at fine scales challenging. We present a simulation that projects change fishery landings due distribution shifts, by combining regional ocean biogeochemical models (forced three earth system models, ESMs: GFDL-ESM2M, HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A-MR), correlative f...
