Indices for common North American fishes Indices for common North American fishes

One of the greatest advantages to the standardization of fisheries sampling methods is the comparable data they produce (Bonar et al. 2017). Following American Fisheries Society (AFS) standardized sampling methods, fisheries professionals can more easily compare their data with standardized data collected across North America to address both small- and large-scale fisheries questions...

Developing a predictive model to identify Sea Lamprey parasitism on Lake Trout using biologgers Developing a predictive model to identify Sea Lamprey parasitism on Lake Trout using biologgers

Objective Sea Lamprey Petromyzon marinus remain problematic for Lake Trout Salvelinus namaycush restoration in the Laurentian Great Lakes. Fisheries assessments would benefit from knowledge of spatial–temporal patterns of Sea Lamprey parasitism on Lake Trout; however, such patterns are challenging to estimate from wounding rates on caught Lake Trout. Electronic tags have been used to...
