I am interested in published papers examining trends in relation to environmental variables, or just datasets that have not been published. Of particular interest is Hypomesus nipponensis, but information on any species would be great. Thanks in advance.

There is a long history of studying rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) in the Great Lakes region. This recent paper may be helpful "Ecological Factors Affecting Rainbow Smelt Recruitment in the Main Basin of Lake Huron, 1976-2010"
http://www.glsc.usgs.gov/publications/2014/1839
The data described in the paper mentioned above,
http://www.glsc.usgs.gov/publications/2014/1839 has been collected on all of he Laurentian Great Lakes over the same time period, 1970s-present.
Also a recent publication investigating recruitment and environmental variation of rainbow smelt in Lake Michigan over several decades.

Here is an example from lakes in Sweden. Species is Osmerus eperlanus
DOI:10.1080/14634988.2014.975668
I would contact Brad Chase ([email protected]). He is the smelt biologist for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
An interesting paper just came out on Hypomesus nipponensis: http://scholar.google.com/scholar_url?url=http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperDownload.aspx%3FpaperID%3D55176&hl=en&sa=X&scisig=AAGBfm0xiVMFwQFM0o0x81okO2JqQo1MDA&nossl=1&oi=scholaralrt''
I have fisheries data for both- migratory and lake smelt Osmerus eperlanus since ~1946- 1947.
