3 Role of forage in ecosystem-based fisheries management Critical consideration of EBFM (Bigford 214) Link lower to upper trophic levels Predator consumption & production linked to forage availability Key forage identified for CBay predators (Ihde et al. 215)
4 Role of forage in ecosystem-based fisheries management Bay Anchovy Polychaetes Mysids Razor clams Amphipods and isopods Weakfish (juveniles) Spot (juveniles) Mantis shrimp Sand shrimp Atlantic croaker (juveniles) Macoma clams Based on wet weight of prey in stomach analyses from ChesMMAP (VIMS) Atlantic menhaden Blue crab Shad & river herrings Small bivalves Atl. silverside Mummichog Managed forage species Historically important Upriver
5 Role of forage in ecosystem-based fisheries management Critical consideration of EBFM (Bigford 214) Link lower to upper trophic levels Predator consumption & production linked to forage availability Key forage identified for CBay predators (Ihde et al. 215) Strong interannual patterns in forage abundance indices and predator consumption patterns (Buchheister et al. 216)

7 Role of forage in ecosystem-based fisheries management Menhaden, YOY Spot, YOY Silverside Alewife, YOY Anchovy Weakfish, YOY Croaker, YOY Blueback, YOY
8 Role of forage in ecosystem-based fisheries management What determines local and regional abundance of key forage? How does local forage availability influence predator diet?
9 Role of forage in ecosystem-based fisheries management Current Project Objective 1 Identify environmental gradients associated with spatial and temporal patterns in relative abundance of forage taxa in Chesapeake Bay Objective 2 Explain how spatial and temporal gradients in environmental variables influence consumption of forage taxa, and quantify the effect of forage abundance on consumer populations
