Understanding the role of recreational angling technology in angler expectations of catch, trip catch, and angler satisfaction Understanding the role of recreational angling technology in angler expectations of catch, trip catch, and angler satisfaction

Rapid technological advancement often receives a mix of criticism and welcome implementation. Fishing technologies, such as sonar, are believed to enable anglers to be more efficient and effective in their angling. There are concerns from anglers and managers of increased catch by technology users. We assessed the relationships between technology use—defined as the use of imaging...

Bacteriological analysis of unionid hemolymph collected from freshwater mussel populations in the Pacific northwestern United States Bacteriological analysis of unionid hemolymph collected from freshwater mussel populations in the Pacific northwestern United States

Native freshwater mussel (Unionidae) mortality events have been occurring with increased frequency in recent decades, with few investigations into potential etiological agents. In the western United States, no surveys have been published regarding the bacteria associated with unionid mussels. Herein, we examine locations of known mussel mortality events in the Chehalis River (Washington)...

Declines in brook trout abundance linked to atmospheric warming in Maryland, USA Declines in brook trout abundance linked to atmospheric warming in Maryland, USA

Salmonid fishes provide an important indicator of climate change given their reliance on cold water. We evaluated temporal changes in the density of stream-dwelling brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) from surveys conducted over a 36-year period (1988–2023) by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources in Eastern North America. Nonparametric trend analyses revealed decreasing densities...
