Daniel P. Struthers, Andy J. Danylchuk, Alexander D.M. Wilson, and Steven J. Cooke Las cámaras digitales de acción (CA) están siendo cada vez más utilizadas con fines de investigación acuática debido a la efectividad en términos de costos, versatilidad, imágenes de alta resolución y durabilidad. Aquí se hace una revisión de las ventajas de la tecnología... Read More
Daniel P. Struthers, Andy J. Danylchuk, Alexander D.M. Wilson, and Steven J. Cooke Digital action cameras (ACs) are increasingly being utilized for aquatic research purposes due to their cost effectiveness, versatility, high-resolution imagery, and durability. Here we review the advantages of AC technology in research, with particular emphases on (a) research videography (both in the field... Read More
Jacob T. Westhoff and Travis A. Kobermann Nous avons étudié le vecteur relativement inexploré du transport et de l’introduction involontaires d’espèces aquatiques non indigènes par les étudiants et les chercheurs universitaires procédant à l’échantillonnage sur le terrain. Nous avons analysé 85 programmes de pêche dans les collèges et universités à travers les États-Unis afin de... Read More
Jacob T. Westhoff and Travis A. Kobermann We investigated the relatively unexplored vector of unintentional transport and introduction of nonnative aquatic species by fisheries students and university researchers conducting field sampling. We surveyed 85 fisheries programs at colleges and universities throughout the United States to determine the prevalence of formal or written protocols used to... Read More
Jacob T. Westhoff and Travis A. Kobermann Se investiga el relativamente poco estudiado vector de transporte no intencional de introducción de especies acuáticas foráneas por parte de estudiantes de pesquerías e investigadores de universidades que realizan muestreos en campo. Se sondearon 85 programas de pesquerías en colegios y universidades a lo largo de los EE.UU.... Read More
Katrina V. Cook, Robert J. Lennox, Scott G. Hinch, and Steven J. Cooke Exposing fish to air following capture influences postrelease survival and behavior. Air exposure causes acute hypoxia and physical damage to the gill lamellae, resulting in physiological stress and physical damage that increases with air exposure duration. Air exposure duration is a relevant and easily quantified metric for... Read More
Grace Handley, Cynthia M. Frantz, Patrick M. Kocovsky, Dennis R. DeVries, Steven J. Cooke, and Julie Claussen This study investigated the possibility of gender differences in outcomes throughout the peer review process of American Fisheries Society (AFS) journals. For each manuscript submitted to four AFS journals between January 2003 and December 2010, we collated information regarding the gender and nationality... Read More
The Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (GCRL) is a marine/coastal research and education enterprise located in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and is a unit of The University of Southern Mississippi. What are some of the projects at GCRL that you are currently working on? I am co-principal investigator on several fisheries projects at GCRL. One of those is a study of Atlantic Tarpon... Read More
