Jack E. Williams, Helen M. Neville, Amy L. Haak, Warren T. Colyer, Seth J. Wenger, and Stan Bradshaw Climate change is contributing to the severity and rate of stream degradation by changing the timing of peak flows, altering flow regimes, creating more frequent and intense disturbances, and increasing stream temperatures. Herein we describe three case... Read More
Jason T. Papenfuss, Nicholas Phelps, David Fulton, and Paul A. Venturelli Successfully managing fisheries and controlling the spread of invasive species depends on the ability to describe and predict angler behavior. However, finite resources restrict conventional survey approaches and tend to produce retrospective data that are limited in time or space and rely on intentions... Read More

Saul Greenberg and Theresa Godin ABSTRACT: Estimating angling effort on more than a few lakes can be prohibitively expensive using creel surveys and often requires finer-scale angler distribution data than aerial surveys can provide. An alternate method uses remote cameras to capture images of lakes at hourly intervals over long time periods. Technicians then visually... Read More
Jake Rice, Michael J. Bradford, Keith D. Clarke, Marten A. Koops, Robert G. Randall, and Roger Wysocki ABSTRACT: In 2012, Canada’s Fisheries Act was amended. New fisheries protection provisions provide for the sustainability and ongoing productivity of commercial, recreational, and Aboriginal fisheries. These provisions replace previous provisions that focused on fish habitats, and concerns have... Read More
Derek P. Crane, Loren M. Miller, James S. Diana, John M. Casselman, John M. Farrell, Kevin L. Kapuscinski, and Joe K. Nohner ABSTRACT: New research techniques and changing Muskellunge Esox masquinongy and Northern Pike E. lucius fisheries have contributed to paradigm shifts in the science and management of these species. A symposium on Muskellunge and... Read More
ABSTRACT: We compare results of Great Lakes charter captain surveys from 2002 and 2011. Charter trips declined 27%, from over 103,000 in 2002 to less than 76,000 in 2011. Revenues between the two years fell 24%, from US$48.0 million to $36.4 million, after values were adjusted for inflation. An estimated 1,696 captains operated as a small... Read More
