Density‐dependent processes such as growth, survival, reproduction and movement are
compensatory if their rates change in response to variation in population density (or …

In northern industrialized countries, the inland fisheries sector has long been dominated by
recreational fisheries, which normally exploit fish for leisure or subsistence and provide …

We reviewed 199 published data sets (21 species) to assess the relative frequency of
various density‐dependent processes in salmonids. We examined studies for the presence …

Studies on north temperate fish species indicate that new habitat availability following the
last ice sheet retreat has promoted ecological speciation in postglacial lakes. Extensive …

High stocking or recruitment rates of juvenile fish can result in growth rate depression, so
fisheries managers may need to consider a trade‐off between producing large numbers or …

Populations of cisco Coregonus artedi in the Laurentian Great Lakes supported large-scale
commercial fisheries and were the primary forage of piscivores during the first half of the …

Systematic underestimation of fish age can impede understanding of recruitment variability
and adaptive strategies (like longevity) and can bias estimates of survivorship. We …

Abstract Nonnative Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis were introduced throughout western
North America in the early and mid 1900s, resulting in populations that are difficult to …

We compared density estimates from day bottom trawl tows against night midwater trawl
tows and acoustic gear to test the hypothesis that adult lake herring (≥ 250 mm) are …

Growth of sympatric populations of three important sport fish species: bluegill Lepomis
macrochirus, largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and channel catfish Ictalurus …
