Evaluating and Advancing the Use of Shore‐Based Observers for Scientific Sampling and Catch Verification in High‐Volume Fisheries

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 612-629, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Shore‐based observers are increasingly being used in place of at‐sea observers to monitor and sample commercial fisheries catch. However, few evaluations assess whether these programs meet their stated goals or how to optimize them, and industry data are rarely tested for accuracy despite serving as the foundation for catch accounting. Using a

First-Year Survival of Northern Fur Seals (Callorhinus ursinus) Can Be Explained by Pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) Catches in the Eastern Bering Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
The Pribilof northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus) herd in the eastern Bering Sea has declined by ~70% since the 1970s, for elusive reasons. Competition for pollock (Gadus chalcogramma) with the commercial fishery has been suspected as a contributing ...

Seabed classification in the Gulf of Alaska from acoustic surveys using deep learning

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract High‐resolution mapping of seafloor habitats has wide applications for fisheries, conservation efforts, offshore infrastructure planning, mineral extraction, and scientific modeling. This study leverages existing widespread single‐beam acoustic data and machine learning to create habitat maps for the Gulf of Alaska at a spatial resolution of ...

eDNA Metabarcoding Identifies Fish Conservation Priorities in Deep‐Water Fjords of British Columbia, Canada

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Fjords are deep‐water estuaries that support a wide range of marine habitats for pelagic fish. Yet, knowledge gaps in fish distribution and habitat use limit the implementation of efficient marine conservation strategies within fjords. Using five British Columbia fjords as a case study, we demonstrated that eDNA metabarcoding combined with ...

A Life Stage-based Model for Assessing the Walleye Pollock Gadus chalcogrammus Population in the East Sea

Korean Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2017
Since the late 1990s, walleye pollock Gadus chalcogrammus fisheries in Korean waters have been considered collapsed. Although many fisheries scientists suspect that the collapse might have been triggered by overexploitation of juvenile pollock or environmental changes, such conjectures have been nei...

The SPoRC Stock Assessment Package: A Generalized Next‐Generation Platform to Assess Spatial, Age and Sex‐Structured Populations

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 754-770, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Fisheries managers increasingly rely on stock assessment models to provide sustainable management advice, which must balance complex and competing objectives. Although assessment models necessitate simplifying assumptions, there is increasing recognition to improve the integration of realistic biological and fishery dynamics. While ongoing and

Capelin Size, Condition, and Abundance Through Multiple Heatwaves in Alaska

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 413-429, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Capelin (Mallotus spp.) are pelagic forage fishes that can be especially abundant in sub‐arctic marine ecosystems and are important prey for upper trophic‐level consumers. Abundance and distribution of capelin have been linked to ocean temperature, but the magnitude and directionality of thermal sensitivity can vary regionally.

Shifting stage‐specific constraints on productivity shape recovery potential for Yukon River Chinook salmon

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract Identifying key life history periods in which population productivity is constrained represents a persistent challenge in conservation and natural resource management. For species with complex life cycles, such as Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), population dynamics may be shaped by interactions between natural and anthropogenic impacts ...

Medium‐Range Predictability of the Wintertime Bering Sea Ice Edge Using Linear Inverse Modeling

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Beginning in autumn, sea ice expands into the southern Bering Sea, where it remains until spring. In winter, some commercial stocks, particularly crabs, thrive in ice‐infested areas, necessitating short‐lead forecasts of the ice edge for fishers.
