This paper develops a respirometry methodology to measure metabolic parameters in Delta Smelt, overcoming previous challenges by incorporating an air pocket to accommodate their physotomous behavior.

The paper tests the TEEL hypothesis by analyzing larval rockfish diets and finds that lower trophic position prey correlates with better growth and survival.

This study shows that ash from wildfires increases water pH, causing rapid physiological stress in Chinook salmon, with greater effects at higher temperatures.

This study shows that gill ionocyte remodeling, not changes in gene expression, enables rockfish to maintain blood pH under hypercapnia by increasing membrane surface area for H+ excretion.

This study shows that diet and size-at-birth influence larval rockfish growth and survival by affecting feeding success and initial size.

This study characterizes the inner ear epithelial cell types and protein expression in splitnose rockfish to understand otolith biomineralization and its sensitivity to environmental factors.
