Biotelemetry data have been successfully incorporated into aspects of fishery and fish habitat management; however, the processes knowledge mobilization are rarely published in peer-reviewed literature but valuable interest to conservation scientists. Here, we explore case examples from Ocean Tracking Network (OTN), including Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) British Columbia, Canada; Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) Cumberland Sound, lemon sharks (Negaprion brevirostris)...
Management boundaries that define populations or stocks of fish form the basis fisheries planning. In Arctic, decreasing sea ice extent is driving increasing development, highlighting need for ecological data to inform management. Cumberland Sound, southwest Baffin Island, an indigenous community fishery was established in 1987 targeting Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) through ice. Following its Sound Boundary (CSMB) designated and a total allowable catch (TAC) assigned...
Abstract Globally, small‐scale inshore fisheries are being recognized as highly beneficial for underdeveloped coastal communities since they directly contribute to local economies. Community fisheries, however, may target species that simultaneously harvested by large commercial vessels in adjacent offshore waters, creating uncertainty over stock units and connectivity complicate management. Greenland halibut Reinhardtius hippoglossoides , a commercially important flatfish the Arctic, were...
Abstract Interactions between animals structure food webs and regulate ecosystem function productivity. Quantifying subsurface behavioural interactions among marine organisms is challenging, but technological advances are promoting novel opportunities. Here, we present a framework to estimate when there high likelihood that aquatic animal occur test for movement‐related response those over short temporal scales (days) using multi‐sensor biologging package on large predator, the Greenland...
The Arctic has been a refuge from anthropogenic underwater noise; however, climate change caused summer sea ice to diminish, allowing for unprecedented access and the potential increased noise. Baseline sound levels must be quantified monitor future changes manage noise in Arctic. We analyzed 39 passive acoustic datasets collected throughout Canadian 2014 2019 using statistical models examine spatial temporal trends daily mean pressure (SPL) quantify environmental drivers of SPL. SPL...
Abstract Transboundary marine species have an increased risk of overexploitation as management regimes and enforcement can vary among states. The complex geopolitical layout exclusive economic zones ( EEZ s) in the Western Indian Ocean WIO ) introduces potential for migratory to cross multiple boundaries, consequently a lack scientific data could complicate regional management. In current study, we highlight both relative spatial available , prevalence transboundary movements that previously...
Although white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) have been considered rare in Atlantic Canada waters, recent sighting records indicate a potentially increasing presence. We combine historical to present data with satellite telemetry tracks of large juvenile and adult tagged US (n = 9) waters 17) show seasonal shark presence distribution Canada, returns by individuals over multiple years, high site fidelity the region. Telemetry that are more common consistent occurrence Canadian than...
Abstract Marine fisheries are often allocated to stocks that reflect pragmatic considerations and may not represent the species’ spatial population structure, increasing risk of mismanagement unsustainable harvesting. Here we compile mark–recapture data collected across North Atlantic gain insight into structure Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides), an issue has been unresolved for decades. The dataset contains 168130 fish tagged from 1952 2021, with 5466 (3.3%) recaptured...
The cichlidae represent an attractive model for acoustic communication as their well-characterized adaptive radiation can serve a backdrop testing evolutionary hypotheses. Despite interest in sound cichlids, little is known of hearing ability and less about production the same species. current study examined production, hearing, auditory morphology Lake Malawi cichlid Labidochromis caeruleus. Males females were paired laboratory all behavioral displays recorded. Hearing was tested to tone...
