This Special Issue of 12 full-length papers collectively addressed biotic scales from:
-
(i) salmonid skin microbiomes
(ii) cyprinid genetics and ecology
(iii) assessment of ichthyoplankton and older fishes across freshwater and estuarine habitats. 
-
The focus was typically guild- or assemblage-oriented to better assess anthropogenic impacts, but it also included a single-species study that examined geographic variation in catfish ecology in the face of climate crisis pressures. 
-
The genetic, microbiologic, habitat, trophic, and hydrologic ecology of fishes that were discussed should help us to better assess anthropogenic impacts in other contexts. We hope this Special Issue provides a springboard for other aquatic ecologists to formulate more holistic, ecosystem-health assessments, especially by spatiotemporal planning, to minimize impacts to rare and migratory species.
