Global status of groundfish stocks [PDF]
Fish and Fisheries, 2021 AbstractWe review the status of groundfish stocks using published scientific assessments for 349 individual stocks constituting 90% of global groundfish catch. Overall, average stock abundance is increasing and is currently above the level that would produce maximum sustainable yield (MSY).

Evaluating potential changes to the US Chukchi Sea bottom trawl survey design via simulation testing
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The US Chukchi Sea consists of the waters off the northwest of Alaska and is a naturally dynamic ice-driven ecosystem. The impacts from climate change are affecting the Arctic marine ecosystem as well as the coastal communities that rely on healthy ...

Exploring variability in the diet of depredating sperm whales in the Gulf of Alaska through stable isotope analysis [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Sperm whales interact with commercially important groundfish fisheries offshore in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This study aims to use stable isotope analysis to better understand the trophic variability of sperm whales and their potential prey, and to use ...

Spatial reference points for groundfish [PDF]
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2016 AbstractAccording to density-dependent habitat selection theory, areas of high density can be indicative of high population productivity and have positive individual fitness consequences. Here, we explore six groundfish populations on the Scotian Shelf, Canada, where a decline in areas of high density beyond a certain threshold is associated with ...

Elasmobranch bycatch in US West Coast groundfish fisheries
Endangered Species Research, 2021 Effective management of multispecies fisheries in large marine ecosystems is challenging. To deal with these challenges, fisheries managers are moving toward ecosystem-based fishery management (EBFM).
