Understanding the spatial ecology and habitat-use of Lake Erie's commercially important
walleye (Sander vitreus) population is imperative due to their large-scale seasonal …

While adult sex ratio (ASR) is a crucial component for population management, there is still
a limited understanding of how its fluctuation affects population dynamics. To demonstrate …

Natal philopatry is important to the structure of fish populations because it can lead to local
adaptations among component stocks of a mixed population, reducing the risk of recruitment …

Delineating population structure helps fishery managers to maintain a diverse “portfolio” of
local spawning populations (stocks), as well as facilitate stock‐specific management. In …

Adaptive efforts to achieve water quality objectives by modifying nutrient loading can have
attendant impacts on fish habitats and fisheries. Thus, coordinating fishery and water quality …

Walleye (Sander vitreus) are the top nearshore predator in the Bay of Quinte and eastern
Lake Ontario, where they have strong ecological and socio-economic impacts. The …

Abstract The St. Clair-Detroit River System contains a world-class Great Lakes muskellunge
(Esox masquinongy) fishery that has avoided the declines observed in many Great Lakes …

Many populations migrate between two different habitats (eg wintering/foraging to breeding
area, mainstem–tributary, river–lake, river–ocean, river–side channel) as part of their life …

Freshwater recreational fisheries regulations are a vital tool for achieving social and
ecological fisheries objectives. However, angler behavior and fish biology may interact to …

Harvest in walleye Sander vitreus fisheries is size‐selective and could influence phenotypic
traits of spawners; however, contributions of individual spawners to recruitment are …
