Pacific herring spawn events influence nearshore subtidal and intertidal species

Published on 2018 05 18 | by Raincoast | in Scientific Literature

A Pacific herring stops moving for a moment; figures from the research about herring are on the right hand side.

Although we know that herring play a pivotal ecological role in nearshore ecosystems, from a scientific perspective little is known about the amount of energy and nutrients they transfer from the ocean to the land. Therefore, researchers at Raincoast Conservation Foundation, University of Victoria, and Dalhousie University, aimed to determine if the nutrients that herring […]

Maps of marine birds distributions and densities overlaid onto a tufted puffin.

In February of 2017, a team of researchers, including Raincoast senior scientist Dr. Paul Paquet, from five research facilities published their findings in Marine Ecology Progress Series: “Predictions from machine learning ensembles: Marine bird distribution and density on Canada’s Pacific coast”…
