The social, economic, and environmental importance of inland fish and fisheries (2016, background): “Fish impacts on habitat are not limited to the local scale; migratory fishes such as Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus), and Semaprochilodus spp. transport energy and nutrients to support distant aquatic and terrestrial food webs (e.g., Wipfli and Baxter 2010).”
Causes and consequences of invertebrate drift in running waters: from individuals to populations and trophic fluxes (2016, background): “…dependence on terrestrial invertebrates (e.g., Wipfli 1997), drift of benthic origin constitutes the 523 primary prey source for many, such as stream rearing salmonids (e.g., Nielson 1992), which are 524 often food limited (Boss and Richardson 2002; McCarthy et al. 2009; Wipfli and Baxter 2010).”
How important are terrestrial organic carbon inputs for secondary production in freshwater ecosystems (2017, background): “…carbon is clearly allochthonous to the salmon nursery streams, but outstanding fish growth rates are obtained (Denton, Rich & Quinn, 2009) because of the very high lipid and essential fatty acid content of this organic matter (Ravet et al., 2010; Sargent et al., 1999; Wipfli & Baxter, 2010).”
