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

open access: yesFish 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

The performance of model-based indices given alternative sampling strategies in a climate-adaptive survey design

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Species-distribution shifts are becoming commonplace due to climate-driven change. Difficult decisions to modify survey extent and frequency are often made due to this change and constraining survey budgets.

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

open access: yesFisheries 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.

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

open access: yesKorean 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...

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Body Condition as a Shared Response to Environment in a Commercially Important Demersal Fish Assemblage

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 264-284, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Measures of an organism's weight at a given length are often considered reliable indicators of energy reserves or ‘condition’, which can be related to fecundity and risk of mortality. Understanding the impact of environmental change on fish condition may therefore inform sustainable management of human activities in marine ecosystems.

Characterization of salmon‐foraging harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) in the Erimo region, Hokkaido, Japan, using finite mixture models

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
Finite mixture models revealed that older, larger harbor seals specialize in salmon predation at setnets in Hokkaido, Japan, suggesting targeted management strategies focusing on these specialist individuals could effectively reduce fishery conflicts while protecting the broader seal population.

Practical Application of a Bioenergetic Model to Inform Management of a Declining Fur Seal Population and Their Commercially Important Prey

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Food availability is a key concern for the conservation of marine top predators, particularly during a time when they face a rapidly changing environment and continued pressure from commercial fishing activities.
