Entanglement is one of the primary anthropogenic threats to the North Atlantic right whale ( Eubalaena glacialis ; right whale) whose habitat overlaps fixed-gear fishing grounds in the Northwest Atlantic with entanglements representing around half of the mortality and serious injury incidents. Right whale mortality has reached levels that require intervention under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, creating the need for a tool...

Wind forcing plays an important role in determining spatial patterns of estuarine bottom water hypoxia, defined as dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration< 2 mg L -1 , by driving coastal circulation patterns and by intensifying mixing of the water column. However, the importance of these wind-driven mixing processes varies with space and time and are dynamically intermingled with biological processes like photosynthesis and respir...

While it is common knowledge that Red Drum ( Sciaenops ocellatus ) inhabit oligohaline waters (salinity <5), lifetime reconstructions of salinity histories have been lacking, and this study provides unique insight into interannual and ontogenetic patterns of oligohaline occupancy by this economically valuable sportfish . Growth consequences of oligohaline exposure and the relationship of oligohaline residency with river discha...
