What is "fallback"?: metrics needed to assess telemetry tag effects on anadromous fish behavior What is "fallback"?: metrics needed to assess telemetry tag effects on anadromous fish behavior
Telemetry has allowed researchers to document the upstream migrations of anadromous fish in freshwater. In many anadromous alosine telemetry studies, researchers use downstream movements (“fallback”) as a behavioral field bioassay for adverse tag effects. However, these downstream movements have not been uniformly reported or interpreted. We quantified movement trajectories of radio...

Maintaining the competitiveness of the American Fisheries Society journals: An assessment based on influence and cost-effectiveness Maintaining the competitiveness of the American Fisheries Society journals: An assessment based on influence and cost-effectiveness
Recent changes in the landscape of scientific publishing prompted the Publications Overview Committee of the American Fisheries Society (AFS) to review the Society's portfolio of scientific journals. We evaluated journals based on metrics in two categories: (1) citation-based measures of the influence of a journal on the scientific literature, and (2) measures of the cost-effectiveness...

The Adopt-a-Herring program as a fisheries conservation tool The Adopt-a-Herring program as a fisheries conservation tool
Successful conservation depends on a scientifically literate public. We developed the adopt-a-Herring program to educate nonscientists about fisheries and watershed restoration. this interactive educational and outreach project encouraged coastal residents to be involved in local watershed restoration. In the northeastern United States, river herring (Alosa spp.) are an important...
