Estimating recruitment potential is arduous, requiring growth and mortality to be estimated independently. Here, we propose using the exponent of size spectrum models to indicate recruitment potential from body measurement data alone. This approach has several advantages including 1) reducing data collection times, 2) removing uncertainty in estimates generated from age estimation, and 3) allowing re-analysis of larval fish databases or archived collections. To test the validity of this approach, we conduct simulations comparing estimates of recruitment potential from an abundance spectrum model with other common methods. By varying larval flux rates, growth, mortality, and measurement error, we show the abundance spectrum model is more accurate and precise at smaller sample sizes, and more robust to variance in individual rates and measurement error of ages, but more susceptible to measurement error of size. We highlight that a size-based approach to estimating recruitment potential provides another useful tool for understanding larval survival, reducing resource demands on research compared to traditional methods.","PeriodicalId":9515,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141821258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, not all ECPs are the same, and those from marginalized backgrounds face unique challenges. Here, we provide a perspective on ways scientific societies can ensure all members are provided with equitable opportunity to discover, access, and build career-defining networks at conference events, including the critical role of mentors in navigating obstacles to success. Our recommendations originate from an early-career networking workshop in 2022 at a Canadian fisheries and aquatic sciences conference. The day-long hybrid event comprised interactive activities and discussions on how societies and their conferences can foster and promote inclusive networking for all, including online attendees.

Using N=5,889 yellow perch stomachs collected from 1997 to 2021, we explore trends in the feeding ecology and trophic level of yellow perch with generalized additive models (GAMs). Models revealed a significant decrease in yellow perch trophic level (-0.15 trophic levels in the last decade), and significant dietary shifts. Yellow perch have shifted away from feeding on piscine prey and round goby Neogobius melanostomus over the 25-year time series, and now feed on invertebrates more frequently – including invasive waterfleas (Bythotrephes longimanus and Cercopagis pengoi) and Chironomids. Dietary patterns appear to reflect broad ecological changes – invasive waterfleas have proliferated while populations of forage fish and round goby have declined. Furthermore, hypoxia events have increased in duration and severity, which may explain observed increases in Chironomid consumption, which are hypoxia tolerant. This study demonstrates trophic adaptability in yellow perch, which have changed feeding behavior and trophic position in response to novel invaders and changing environmental conditions.","PeriodicalId":9515,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141666334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Annual recruitment is often regionally synchronized among populations and identifying drivers of such synchrony may help shed light on recruitment dynamics. We investigated interannual variation of alewife Alosa pseudoharengus recruitment by estimating year-class strength for populations from three of the Laurentian Great Lakes (lakes Huron, Michigan, and Ontario) using annual assessment survey data from 1968 to 2022. We first determined the age when year-class strength was set for each dataset. We then used a mixed-modeling approach incorporating age, year-class, and sampling year to estimate year-class strength for each study lake. Thereafter, we evaluated regional synchrony in year-class strength across the three lakes and evaluated potential climatic drivers of synchrony. Our results suggest that alewife year-class strength is set by age-1. Our model-derived indices of alewife year-class strength were synchronized among the three lakes, and we identified spring-summer degree-days as a potential regional driver of synchrony. This analysis highlights the potential for strong influence of climatic conditions on fish recruitment in large freshwater systems.","PeriodicalId":9515,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the challenges associated with accurately estimating fishing effort by purse seiners and proposes a solution using records collected from real-time communication devices on fishing fleets. The estimation of fishing effort based on high-frequency GPS data can be verified with the onboard visual records. Additionally, by linking vessels within a fleet, the method utilizes information from carriers (vessels that transport fish) to enhance the estimation. Through the use of generalized additive models, this study effectively estimates the fishing effort of Japanese purse seiners, demonstrating their accuracy. Furthermore, by incorporating carrier information, models based on matched records prove to have superior predictive performance compared to those based on fishing vessel or carrier records alone. These findings lay the foundation for the potential of this approach to provide precise and cost-effective information for sustainable fishery management. The affordability of GPS devices and the common requirement of communication devices across various fleets further support the feasibility of implementing this approach.","PeriodicalId":9515,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We applied linear mixed–effect models, a classification and regression tree (CART), and random forest (RF) algorithms to develop predictions and eco-hydrologic interpretations. The random forest model demonstrated the greatest predictive ability (R2 = 0.56) followed by linear mixed–effect models (R2 = 0.45) and the regression tree (R2 = 0.29). Primary effects of hydrologic terms were similar among models, but the RF model identified important nonlinear and threshold relationships. Lower average depths (appr. 30–60 cm) over the year prior to the sample, in conjunction with relatively long periods of inundation, and moderate recent depths, were associated with greater crayfish densities. The three methods revealed consistent understanding of crayfish eco-hydrologic relations and provide insight for natural resource management.","PeriodicalId":9515,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141340982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found significant positive relationships between the modelled biomass index and fisheries landings in all three LFAs.

Two 12S primer sets, 12S-160 and 12S-248F, with different amplicon lengths, yielded similar results. eDNA metabarcoding consistently detected species captured by 186 co-located beach seines and revealed additional species. It also detected monthly (June-August), interannual (2020-2021), and spatial shifts in the fish community, distinguishing stations separated by as little as 0.4 km. Positive correlations existed between eDNA metabarcoding species reads and beach seining captures. These findings suggest eDNA metabarcoding complements physical capture methods for characterising nearshore fish communities in Prince Edward Island’s estuaries.
