	Mass. Division of Marine Fisheries: Smelt - Species Profile
		The rainbow smelt, a small fish eagerly pursued by anglers because of its fine flavor, is found along the coastal inshore areas of northeastern North America from Newfoundland to New Jersey, but is most abundant from the southern Canadian Maritime Provinces south to Massachusetts.
		Smelt in turn are an important prey for a variety of predatory fish, including, striped bass, bluefish; and several bird and marine mammal species.
		Smelt produce such light taps or vibrations when grabbing baited hooks that rapt attention to the rod and line is a must.

	Rainbow Smelt/Fish of the Great Lakes by Wisconsin Sea Grant
		In the lower Great Lakes, rainbow smelt were at first regarded as a nuisance, hordes of them invading and becoming entangled in fish nets.
		Smelt are not only processed for animal feeds but are also enjoyed by people, and countries as far away as Japan are interested in importing its meat and roe.
		Unfortunately, smelt populations fell sharply in the early 1980s and the outlook for them is not clear.

	Underwater World - American Smelt
		The scales on the smelt are large and easily detached, and at spawning time those on the males develop small tubercles, resembling tiny buttons which serve as a mark of their sex.
		Conversely, Miramichi smelt are prey for cod, salmon, seals, comorant, and mergansers, while Great Lakes smelt fall prey to lake trout, salmon, brook trout, burbots, walleye, yellow perch, and birds such as gulls and crows.
		Smelt are also afflicted by parasites, one of which forms white cysts in the viscera and body cavity of smelt inhabiting both North American and European waters.

	WDFW -- WA State Forage Fish: Surf Smelt
		Surf smelt can be distinguished from other forage fish such as herring, sand lance and anchovy, by the presence of an adipose fin.
		In previous years, surf smelt management was intended to protect and conserve spawning stocks and to regulate commercial and recreational fisheries, which often occur on common fishing grounds, in such a way as to maximize the social and economic benefit of the resource.
		Surf smelt recreational fisheries occur year-round and are scattered throughout the coast and Puget Sound.

	Smelt
		The smelt is an inshore fish, confined to so narrow a zone along the coast that none has ever been reported more than a mile or so out from the land, or more than two or three fathoms in depth, while many spend the whole year in estuarine situations.
		Smelt fishermen are familiar with the fact that a smelt approaches a bait slowly, then stops, and appears to suck it in.
		The smelt is a familiar little fish around the entire coast of the Gulf of Maine, but varies greatly in abundance from place to place according to the accessibility of streams suitable for spawning, from which it seldom wanders far alongshore.

	Smelts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Smelts are a family, Osmeridae, of small anadromous fish.
		Smelts have been traditionally an important winter catch in the salt water mouths of rivers in New England and the Maritime Provinces of Canada.
		The smelts were "flash frozen" simply by leaving them on the ice and then sold to fish buyers who came down the rivers on horse and sleigh.

	Delta smelt (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Delta smelt require specific freshwater flow, water temperature and salinity, and habitat types to complete their migration, spawning, egg incubation, rearing, and larval and juvenile transport from spawning to rearing habitats.
		The recent decline of delta smelt and other Delta fisheries coincides with significant increases in Delta water exports by the state and federal water projects (seasonal water exports in the 2000s are as much as 48 percent higher than in the early 1990s) and higher mortality of delta smelt by the pumps.
		All life stages of delta smelt are at least periodically exposed to lethal or sub-lethal concentrations of herbicides and pesticides discharged and transported from upstream into their habitat, and chemicals may also have indirect effects on their Delta ecosystem.

	Institute for rational pharmacotherapy Remeron Smelt (rapidly disintegrating tablets)
		Remeron Smelt is a new rapidly disintegrating formulation of the antidepressant mirtazapine (Remeron).
		A Remeron Smelt tablet is placed on the tongue, where it dissolves and forms a microsuspension that moves slowly down through the oesophagus.
		The efficacy data on Remeron Smelt stems from a bioequivalence study whose results show that a Remeron 30 mg rapidly disintegrating tablet and a Remeron 30 mg conventional tablet are pharmacokinetically identical (with respect to AUC and Cmax) if the rapidly disintegrating tablet is taken without water.

	Smelt by Ruth Parson
		The total number of delta smelt is not known, however, delta smelt are considered environmentally sensitive because they have a one year life cycle, unusually low fecundity for a fish with planktonic larvae, a limited diet, and reside primarily within the interface between salt and freshwater.
		Smelts were traditionally an important winter catch in the salt water mouths of rivers in New England and the Maritime Provinces of Canada.
		Smelt are also known in the U.S. as "whitebait," - a term that originated in England where a variety of small fry (mostly herring and smelt) were fished from the Thames estuary to be used as bait.

	NIWA Atlas of New Zealand Freshwater Fishes - NIWA Science
		Smelt can be distinguished from other species by their easily dislodged scales, and by the presence of the adipose fin, a small fleshy lobe on their back between the dorsal fin and the tail.
		Smelt are a pelagic species, which means they swim in mid water rather than resting or hiding on the substrate.
		Smelt are therefore an appropriate native species for establishing guidelines for New Zealand waterways and usually their presence indicates that the water quality is suitable for most other fish.

	Surf Smelt
		Surf smelt can be distinguished from other forage fish such as herring, sand lance and anchovy, by the presence of an adipose fin.
		Fertilized surf smelt eggs have morphological features which cause the eggs to adhere to sand grains in which they are laid, giving stability to the deposited spawn.
		Like herring, surf smelt are thought to display some degree of homing, based on studies of their geographically and temporally distinct spawning behavior, parasitology and serology.
