New special section in the North American Journal of Fisheries Management: A symposium at the 2023 American Fisheries Society meeting highlighted collaborations among biologists, policymakers, and Native American tribes addressing conservation for native lampreys. Native lampreys provide ecosystem services that benefit a range of aquatic organisms and are essential to Native American tribes for nutritional, medicinal, and ceremonial purposes. The papers in this collection present key findings, related research, and an example of grassroots effort to protect and restore Pacific Lamprey.
The Big Hole River, Montana, contains the only remaining native population of Arctic Grayling in the lower 48 states. This laboratory study shows that higher average water temperatures that accompany climate change and other environmental perturbations will adversely affect the stress and future survival of this population.

Marine protected areas (MPAs) need monitoring to evaluate their benefits to society. The authors characterized American lobster and Jonah crab populations inside and outside a newly created MPA while commercial harvest was still operating, thereby providing essential information needed for assessing future responses to planned fishing closures.
Hatchery-origin Chinook Salmon and steelhead stray compositions on the spawning grounds met management targets at the basin scale but in some cases exceeded management targets at finer spatial scales, often as a result of multiple hatchery programs contributing strays.
