We used multiple approaches to study summer movement patterns of Bonneville cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii utah) in the Thomas Fork drainage of western Wyoming, USA. Our objectives were to (i) document summer movement patterns of cutthroat trout, especially as related to the concepts of local turnover and displacement distances, (ii) determine if fish size and condition were related to m...

Do no-take marine reserves affect fishery yields? Manipulations of reserve status, and yield estimates, were made at two Philippine islands over two decades. Twenty-five percent and ten percent, respectively, of the coral reefs at Sumilon and Apo islands were made no-take reserves in 1974 and 1982. Biomass of target fish increased inside the no-take reserves 3to 4.5-fold over 9–18 years. Biomas...

Ocean-going juvenile salmonids heavily infected with salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, have been observed prematurely returning to freshwater. This change in salinity preference may be an attempt either to regain osmotic balance or to remove the lice. For either hypothesis to be true, freshwater habitats must provide infected fish with a higher net fitness than saltwater habitats. The obje...

This study explored the effects of food and woody debris manipulations on the summer distribution of juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in small suburban streams. To examine fish responses to these factors, three different experiments were carried out in modified sections of two streams. The results showed that the distribution of juvenile coho salmon in a stream section was primarily ...
