“Fisheries management” might be more aptly called “human management.” While not a groundbreaking revelation to the readers of Fisheries magazine, this concept can be easily forgotten by those of us who do not regularly engage with the public. Our field is a carousel of complex issues, each with diverse stakeholder groups and their associated competing needs.

The northern Gulf of Mexico is an ecologically and economically productive system that supports some of the largest volume and most valuable fisheries in the United States. The benefit of these fisheries to society and to the surrounding Gulf communities has varied historically, commensurate with the fish population sizes and the economic activities they are able to sustain.

Invasive species represent a substantial threat to aquatic systems, and aquaculture operations provide a vector for their transportation between waters. This study evaluated the effectiveness of two portable filter systems at reducing or eliminating zebra mussel and Asian clam veligers from an infested water source.

Many streams are experiencing increased average temperatures due to anthropogenic activity and climate change. As a result, surface water temperature regulation is critical for preserving a diverse stream fish species assemblage. We used Wyoming stream fish assemblages as a case study to examine the feasibility of addressing the limitations of field and laboratory data through a hybrid approach that integrates both types of data to classify species into thermal guilds that can potentially inform regulatory standards.
