The paper uses eDNA metabarcoding to study fish community dynamics in a regulated stream, finding higher diversity downstream and increased detection of rare species compared to traditional methods.

The paper develops a statistical model and database to estimate sustainable harvest limits for native nongame fishes using production/biomass ratios and age-related data.

The paper quantifies catch inequality in California steelhead fisheries using 11 years of angler report data, finding high inequality and developing a method to determine minimal sample sizes for robust Gini coefficient estimation.

The study tests if field preparation methods in agricultural floodplains affect survival and growth of juvenile Chinook salmon, finding no significant differences among treatments.
