Abstract Walleye Sander vitreus and Yellow Perch Perca flavescens are culturally,
economically, and ecologically significant fish species in North America that are affected by …

Abstract The Laurentian Great Lakes of North America provide valuable ecosystem services,
including fisheries, to the surrounding population. Given the prevalence of other …

Since the mid‐2000s, recruitment of Walleye Sander vitreus in some northern Wisconsin
lakes has declined, potentially because of climate‐induced changes in lake environments …

Aquatic environments and biological communities in nearshore waters of the Laurentian
Great Lakes have undergone extensive change in recent decades. The nearshore waters of …

Fish recruitment is interannually variable and challenging to predict. Annual recruitment is
often regionally synchronized among populations and identifying drivers of such synchrony …

Many aquatic ecosystems are experiencing multiple anthropogenic stressors that threaten
their ability to support ecologically and economically important fish species. Two of the most …

Degree-days (DD) are an effective metric for quantifying the thermal opportunity for
ectotherm growth. There is strong empirical evidence to suggest that DD are useful for …

Recent climate-driven, physico-chemical changes documented in aquatic systems
throughout the world are expected to intensify in the future. Specifically, changes in key …

There are several ways to set biological reference points (BRP) for harvest strategies, but
one of the most direct methods is to use the stock-recruitment relationship (SRR). Even if the …

Recruitment of many fish populations is inherently highly variable interannually. However,
this variability can be synchronous at broad geographic scales due to fish dispersal and …
