There are many good reasons to get a better grip on how fish are faring in Canada’s two million lakes, not the least of which is that they can be eaten.....
Biology professor Bryan Neff will be – ahem – fishing for answers with his latest project exploring the health of Canada’s 200-plus freshwater fish species in the face of increasing (mostly human-made) challenges....
You think some of your goals are a long shot. For the Atlantic salmon, and the millions of dollars and health of the lake riding on its back, survival is the long shot....
Bryan Neff at Western University has just studied how climate change will make chinook salmon have heart attacks, but he knows for a scientific fact that predicting bad consequences of climate change brings a backlash...
Nutritionists often praise salmon as a super food in the fight against heart disease. But the fish renowned for its Omega-3 fatty acids is at risk of dying off from heart attacks brought on by climate change, say scientists at Western University...
Americans eat more than 624 million pounds of salmon a year, and about a third of it comes from the Pacific Ocean. But will we (and our grandchildren) be fishing for or dishing up wild Pacific salmon in 50 years...

Researchers have now shown that offspring of promiscuous male bluegill sunfish compare the odor of nest-mates to their own genetically determined odor...
Many journals – and the authors who publish their novel data and analyses in them – rely on “impact factors” as a gauge of the importance and prestige of their work. However, a new analysis turns up subtle ways that journals can game the system to artificially inflate that impact factor...
