FEATURE ARTICLE
Stratification mitigates population-level effects of warmwater catch and release of Muskellunge in a southern reservoir
- Pages: 697-713
- First Published: 05 December 2024
Impact statement
Likely due to thermal refugia, catch and release of Muskellunge in southern reservoirs yielded low (11.1%) mortality rates when near-surface water temperatures exceeded 25°C. All mortality of adult Muskellunge occurred in summer, highlighting the need for caution in summer angling, particularly for systems that are warming or increasing in popularity.

Climate winners: Adapting to shifting species in the New England supply chain
- Pages: 714-745
- First Published: 09 September 2024
Impact statement
Climate change is driving shifts in marine species' distributions. For the seafood marketplace to manage these changes, seafood suppliers at the intersection of supply and demand need to be equipped with resources to adapt their portfolios.
Lake temperature and morphometry shape the thermal composition of recreational fishing catch
- Pages: 746-762
- First Published: 11 October 2024
Impact statement
Inland lakes are rapidly warming, creating novel coolwater management challenges and emerging warmwater opportunities. Warmwater fishing opportunities are likely to increase as the climate warms, but larger, deeper lakes will likely provide thermal refuges for coolwater fish and the anglers who pursue them.
Regulatory, socioeconomic, and meteorological predictors of harvest in marine recreational fisheries
- Pages: 763-780
- First Published: 18 October 2024
Impact statement
For all species, a subset of regulations estimated harvest, offering guidance on best approaches to manage future harvest. Socioeconomic and meteorological factors associated with harvest can be used to refine estimates of harvest and project future harvest trends.
Developing a predictive model to identify Sea Lamprey parasitism on Lake Trout using biologgers
- Pages: 781-801
- First Published: 16 October 2024
Impact statement
There is a need for direct field observations of Sea Lamprey attack rates on Lake Trout to determine spatial–temporal patterns of parasitism and to help guide Sea Lamprey control and Lake Trout restoration efforts. Here, we determine whether measurements of heart rate and acceleration recorded from implantable tagging devices (biologgers) can be used to detect Sea Lamprey attachment on Lake Trout.
Differential use of tidal delta, shoreline, and neritic habitats by natural- and hatchery-origin juvenile Chinook Salmon
- Pages: 802-821
- First Published: 02 December 2024
Impact statement
Natural- and hatchery-origin Chinook Salmon differ considerably in their use of estuarine and nearshore marine habitats, providing important context for restoration and recovery evaluation and assessment.
Rapid identification of invasive Brook Trout through CRISPR-based environmental DNA detection
- Pages: 822-832
- First Published: 02 December 2024
Impact statement
Brook Trout invasions in the Pacific Northwest highlight continued struggles with managing nonnative species. We deployed a rapid CRISPR-Cas12a-based environmental DNA detection protocol to document their presence in a model Pacific Northwest stream.
Evaluating the success of eradicating nonnative Brook Trout using Trojan Y Chromosome fish in southern Rocky Mountain streams
- Pages: 833-846
- First Published: 05 November 2024
Impact statement
Trojan Y Chromosome fish show promising results as an additional control method for eradicating nonnative Brook Trout in southern Rocky Mountain streams.
Variation in resource use and potential competition for Walleye across seasons and habitats
- Pages: 847-858
- First Published: 05 December 2024
Impact Statement
Walleye may compete with Northern Pike and Smallmouth Bass for prey, but managers can limit competition by maintaining the abundances of prey used by Walleye only or maintaining access to wetland resources.
Seasonal variability in condition and spatial distribution of Chinook Salmon: Implications for ecosystem-based management
- Pages: 859-877
- First Published: 02 December 2024
Impact Statement
Chinook Salmon exhibit size- and stock-specific differences in seasonal condition and spatial distribution, resulting in implications for ecosystem-based management of marine life stages.
