Climate change has been documented for over 120 years with increasing scientific rigor, and its impacts are already observable in marine and freshwater fisheries. But after decades of communication to underscore the validity of these changes, and the urgency for action, a large component of the public and many elected officials deny the scientific consensus and reject the need for action. Therefore, we outline a more effective strategy to convey the climate message to stakeholders and inspire them to act.

Emergent properties of ecosystems are community attributes, such as structure and function, that arise from connections and interactions among populations, species, or assemblages that, when viewed together, provide a holistic representation that is more than the sum of its individual parts. Climate change is altering emergent properties of aquatic ecosystems through component responses, a combination of shifts in species range, phenology, distribution, and productivity, which lead to novel ecosystems that have no historical analog. The reshuffling, restructuring, and rewiring of aquatic ecosystems due to climate impacts are of high concern for natural resource management and conservation as these changes can lead to species extinctions and reductions in ecosystem services.

The anadromous Pacific Lamprey Entosphenus tridentatus is native to the northern Pacific Ocean and its drainages, returning each spring to spawn in streams along the West Coast of North America. The authors of this paper analyzed abundance trends of adult Pacific Lamprey from dam counts and redd surveys in western Oregon and compared a series of generalized additive models to describe lamprey abundance trends.

The gastric evacuation rates of Spiny Dogfish Squalus acanthias, Summer Flounder Paralichthys dentatus and Goosefish Lophius americanus held at two different temperatures were determined in the laboratory by gastric lavage. Overall, exponential models provided the best fit for the evacuation rates.

Low summer streamflow is the biggest single bottleneck to salmonid recovery in the Russian River basin. On October 20, Elizabeth Ruiz and Troy Cameron will describe how wetted habitat surveys have proven to be a useful, straightforward monitoring technique invaluable for making management decisions in the context of recovery targets.
