Fisheries-induced evolution and its impact on the productivity of exploited fish stocks
remains a highly contested research topic in applied fish evolution and fisheries science …

Predation is a pervasive force that structures food webs and directly influences ecosystem
functioning. The relative body sizes of predators and prey may be an important determinant …

Recruitment dynamics of fishes can determine their abundance and subsequent effects of
adult populations on ecosystem properties. Common Carp Cyprinus carpio is a widespread …

Understanding and predicting recruitment, longstanding goals in fisheries science and
ecology, are complicated by variation in the importance of environmental drivers coupled …

Largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides broods were experimentally reduced in size to test
whether brood size (BS) and simulated brood depredation affect the decision by a male to …

Large reservoirs provide important sport fisheries, but managing these fisheries is difficult
because of the multiple biological and environmental variables that interact to shape them …

State and federal agencies typically introduce aquatic vegetation to increase the recruitment
of sport fishes, particularly Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides. However, due to …

Regional factors correlated with recruitment of black bass (largemouth bass; Micropterus
nigricans and smallmouth bass; Micropterus dolomieu), two important fishes, are rarely …

Abstract Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides are commonly stocked throughout their
native range, but survival of stocked fish is variable and often low. Hatchery fish may have …

Abstract Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides undergo a diet shift to fish prey during the
juvenile stage, but mechanisms influencing piscivorous behavior are largely unknown. In …
