Spring‐Summer Temperature Balances and Recent Surface Maxima on the Southern Bering Sea Middle Shelf

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The eastern Bering Sea has recently experienced multiple years of pronounced warm temperature anomalies, facilitated by low winter sea‐ice extent. Although ice cover is well‐understood as a driver of temperature variations in this region, the ability for spring and summer forcing to modify anomalies present after ice retreat has been less ...

Relative importance of population size, fishing pressure and temperature on the spatial distribution of nine Northwest Atlantic groundfish stocks.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
The spatial distribution of nine Northwest Atlantic groundfish stocks was documented using spatial indicators based on Northeast Fisheries Science Center spring and fall bottom trawl survey data, 1963-2016.

Analysis of demersal fish assemblages of the Tuscany and Latium coasts (north-western Mediterranean)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2002
A four-year time series (1994-1997) of groundfish trawl surveys performed within the European Union Project MEDITS (Mediterranean International Trawl Surveys), was analysed to identify and describe the fish assemblages along the continental shelf and ...

A Framework to Investigate the Effects of Observation Error on Neural Network Predictions of Fish Age

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 974-986, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Technological innovations for predicting fish age represent a paradigm shift from conventional age estimation methods used in fisheries science. Recently developed secondary methods rely on models trained on conventional age estimates, derived from subjective interpretation of growth patterns and a biological property of the fish to predict ...

Challenges and Opportunities for Strengthening Bottom‐Tow Fisheries Sustainability

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 987-1005, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Bottom‐tow gear fisheries (trawls and dredges) produce ~24 million mt of harvest annually, representing a globally important animal‐sourced food system. While many are currently sustainably managed, growing concern over the potential for ecosystem impacts from bottom‐tow gears has increased pressure to improve these fisheries.

Implementing the Western Gulf of Maine Area Closure: The Role and Perception of Fishers' Ecological Knowledge

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2012
The debate about the quality of fishers' ecological knowledge (FEK) and its value to fisheries management has long been present in the literature. This study sought to understand the role of FEK in a particular fisheries management decision in the U.S ...

Reproductive Biology and Early Life History Inform Steepness and the Productivity of Rockfishes (Sebastes spp., Scorpaenidae) in the California Current

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 1028-1046, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Steepness, a parameter derived from the stock‐recruit relationship, is widely used in fishery stock assessments to scale the productivity of a population. Steepness is a highly influential parameter, but it is often unknown a priori and is typically difficult to estimate.

Assessment of golden redfish (Sebastes marinus L) in Icelandic waters

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2003
Assessment of redfish has traditionally suffered from the inability to age the fish. For golden redfish in Icelandic waters, length distributions and abundance indices are available both from commercial catch and from surveys, particularly a groundfish ...

Biogeography of Groundfish Assemblages on the Grand Bank

open access: yesJournal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science, 1992
A 16-year time series (1971–82, 1984–87) of data from spring groundfish surveys was analyzed to identify, describe, and map six broad zoogeographic areas on the Grand Bank of Newfoundland, each characterized by a relatively homogeneous and persistent biological composition (a fish assemblage).

Using the Diet Composition of Adult Chinook Salmon to Understand the Regional Structure of Salish Sea Forage Communities

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 565-579, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish and other forage species are patchily distributed over space and time, resulting in variable foraging conditions experienced by their predators. The high‐resolution data necessary to understand the spatiotemporal structure of forage communities are challenging to collect with expensive fishery‐independent surveys, meaning ...
