North Sea herring population structure revealed by microsatellite analysis (2005, background): “INTRODUCTION Despite a plethora of genetic studies on marine fishes, there remains a high degree of uncertainty as to the nature and extent of temporal and spatial population structuring in highly mobile, commercially exploited species (Waples 1998, Smedbol et al. 2002, Kritzer & Sale 2004).”
A metapopulation perspective for salmon and other anadromous fish (2007, background): “Conversely, populations of the same species may vary in dispersal, depending on features of the landscape (Wiens 2001; Schtickzelle et al. 2006 ).”
Migratory behaviour of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua: natal homing is the prime stock-separating mechanism (2007, background): “…is recognised as the prime population structuring mechanism in marine fishes, it will have far-reaching consequences on the applicability of metapopulation theory to fishery science (McQuinn 1997, Smedbol et al. 2002) and on our perceptions in fisheries management (Smedbol & Stephenson 2001).”
Moving beyond the current paradigm in marine population connectivity: are adults the missing link? (2014, background): “The role that migration plays in the persistence of subpopulations has been studied in the broader ecological field, but to a lesser extent in fisheries ecology (Smedbol et al. 2002).”
Landscape attributes and life history variability shape genetic structure of trout populations in a stream network (2006, background): “Overall, it is reasonable to conclude based on observed genetic patterns that the persistence of populations in the Marys River depends on connectivity and habitat complexity sufficient to maintain a metapopulation dynamic among localized populations (see Smedbol et al. 2002 ).”
Theory, consequences and evidence of eroding population spatial structure in harvested marine fishes: a review (2013, background): “Often, however, changes in population abundance, age structure, and occupancy also co-occur with largescale changes in environmental variables, such as water temperature (Swain 1999).”
