Impact Description | Using time-series data for various fish populations along with change point regression analysis, scientists concluded that predation of larvae by alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) likely contributed to the decline of yellow perch (Perca flavescens), deepwater sculpin (Myoxocephalus thompsonii), burbot (Lota lota), Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), and emerald shiner (Notropis atherinoides). |
