Abstract The Gulf Menhaden Brevoortia patronus is frequently cited as playing a
predominant role in the trophic structure and function of the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) …

Coastal areas serve as vital habitat for many marine fishes and often host broad gradients of
environmental conditions that result in diverse species assemblages. Understanding the …

Despite the speculations that jellyfish (hydromedusae, siphonophores, scyphomedusae and
ctenophores) may compete with forage fish for prey, there are few direct comparisons of their …

Forage fishes are an important component of marine, estuarine, and aquatic food webs that
facilitate the transfer of energy and nutrients from primary producers to upper trophic levels …
