Because these populations are sensitive not only to the short-term impacts of commercial and recreational fishing, but also to longer-term impacts of climatic fluctuations and other (non-fishing) human activities, some researchers have turned to macrofossil and biochemical markers in lake sediment cores as a means of estimating population sizes prior to development of a historic record (Gregory-Eaves et al., 2009).
