Objective Eradication of invasive Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis from stream ecosystems is often constrained by the inefficiency of electrofishing alone and limitations of piscicide use. The YY male (Trojan Y chromosome) approach has been proposed as a genetic biocontrol tool to assist in ...
Objective The first objective of this study was to develop electrofishing depletion models that allowed effort to vary among passes while accounting for capture probability that varied with fish size. The second objective of this study was to extend the models from estimating abundance at a single ...
Objective Age of maturation in Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha is phenotypically plastic, influenced by both genotype and environmental factors. Salmon hatchery programs often rear fish under accelerated growth regimes using high-lipid diets that can result in younger age at maturity, ...
Objective Year-class success is shaped in part by the population’s reproductive phenology—its seasonal timing of spawning. Quantifying phenology may take several approaches representing varying levels of effort, expense, and expertise. The objective of this study was to assess different measures of ...
