Fish Parasites as Biological Indicators in a Changing World: Can We Monitor Environmental Impact and Climate Change? (2011, background): “2, and was reviewed by Williams and MacKenzie (2003). Protozoan mobiline peritrichous ciliates (genus Trichodina, phylum Ciliophora) have been experimentally examined for their function as biological indicators of water quality (Voigt 1993).”
Population structure of beaked redfish, Sebastes mentella: evidence of divergence associated with different habitats (2010, methodology): “The approach has been revived through advancements in methodology (Mackenzie and Abaunza, 2005), but parasites used for stock identification should be selected and applied cautiously (Lester and Mackenzie, 2009).”
Genetic and otolith isotopic markers identify salmon populations in the Columbia River at broad and fine geographic scales (2010, background): “literature on documenting biological attributes that differ among stocks as intrinsic markers to minimize the need for expensive and laborious physical tags (Marques et al. 2006; Abaunza et al. 2008; MacKenzie 2009).”
