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

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

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
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.

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 ...

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
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
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).

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 ...
