Small-scale fisheries are the primary users of many coastal fish stocks; yet, spatial and temporal patterns recreational subsistence fishing in marine ecosystems poorly documented. Knowledge about distribution activities can inform place-based management that balances species conservation with opportunities for recreation subsistence. We used a participatory mapping approach to document changes 80 boat-based anglers from 1950 2010 Puget Sound, Washington, USA. Hand-drawn areas salmon,...
Abstract Along the Gulf ofAlaska, rapid glacier retreat has driven changes in transport of freshwater, sediments, and nutrients to estuary habitats. Over coming decades, deglaciation will lead a temporary increase, followed by long-term decline glacial influence on estuaries. Therefore, quantifying current variability estuarine fish community structure regions predicted be most affected loss is necessary anticipate future impacts. We analyzed data collected monthly (April through September)...
Watershed assessments have become common for prioritizing restoration in river networks. These primarily focus on geomorphic conditions of rivers but less frequently incorporate non-geomorphic abiotic factors such as water chemistry and temperature, biotic the structure food webs. Using a dynamic web model that integrates physical ecological environmental rivers, we simulated how juvenile salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) biomass responded to at twelve sites distributed across Methow River...
Abstract In southeastern Alaska, a large volume of freshwater flows into estuaries from thinning and retreating glaciers high rainfall in the surrounding coastal temperate rainforest. Freshwater runoff to coast affects physical chemical properties estuarine habitats and, turn, structure dynamics biological communities. This study quantified temporal spatial variation diets Pacific Staghorn Sculpins Leptocottus armatus as an important step toward understanding how climate‐driven changes may...
Multiple restoration actions have been implemented in response to declining salmon populations. Among these is the addition of carcasses or artificial nutrients mimic marine-derived historically provided by large spawning runs salmon. A key assumption this approach that increased will catalyze population growth. Although effects on aquatic ecosystems observed during treatments, it unclear whether permanent increases for occur. To test and address associated uncertainties, we linked a food...
Riverine export of carbon (C) is an important part the global C cycle; however, most riverine budgets focus on individual forms and fail to comprehensively measure both organic inorganic species in concert. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted high frequency sampling multiple forms, including dissolved (DOC), (as alkalinity), particulate (POC), coarse (CPOC), invertebrate biomass across main run-off season a predominantly rain-fed watershed Southeast Alaska. Streamwater concentrations...
