The influence of feeding behavior and feeding ecology on microplastic occurrence in fishes
in an urbanized estuary was studied by surveying microplastics in the digestive tracts (gut) of …

Forage fish play a pivotal role in marine ecosystems and economies worldwide by
sustaining many predators and fisheries directly and indirectly. We estimate global forage …

Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) support the largest fishery by volume on the United
States East Coast, while also playing an important role as a forage species. Managers' and …

The present paper is a review of the available literature on the significance of forage fish, the
plethora of services they provide, and the threats faced by them. Forage fish are pelagic …

Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) are an important forage fish for many predators,
and they also support the largest commercial fishery by weight on the US East Coast …

Management strategy evaluation (MSE) is the state‐of‐the‐art approach for testing and
comparing management strategies in a way that accounts for multiple sources of uncertainty …

Tunas are highly specialized predators that have evolved numerous adaptations for a
lifestyle that requires large amounts of energy consumption. Here we review our …

We formulated a full lifecycle bioenergetic model for bluefin tuna relying on the principles of
Dynamic Energy Budget theory. Traditional bioenergetic models in fish research deduce …

Implementation of an ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) for forage fish
requires methods to evaluate tradeoffs associated with competing management objectives …

Upper trophic level predators can greatly influence the dynamics and productivity of forage
fish species. Quantifying this influence requires information on prey consumption; however …
