Time-varying flow-ecology relationships for an endangered fish population: Longfin Smelt in the San Francisco Estuary. [PDF]
Abstract Major estuaries globally are experiencing fast‐paced changes in hydrology and ecosystem dynamics. However, connecting alteration of river flow regimes to estuarine fish population dynamics remains a challenge, partly due to the untested assumption that flow regimes, fish dynamics, and the resulting flow–ecology relationships are stationary (i ...

Linking oceanic variability, euphausiid hotspot persistence, and marine predator distribution along Canada's west coast. [PDF]
Abstract Understanding patterns of habitat use across trophic levels and the physical drivers of multispecies aggregations is essential to inform ecosystem‐based management. To achieve this, we quantified the spatial distribution and co‐occurrence of hotspots (defined using the Getis‐Ord statistic) for euphausiids and nine of their commercially ...

A technique for designing the rope-net shell of midwater trawl is described on example of the trawl Sirius Shelf project AS 11.012.000 designed by Aquaservice Ltd. Diagrams of the rope-net shell parameters distribution along trawl are used. The technique

The codend of a trawl net is the rearmost and crucial part of the net for selective fish catch and juvenile escape. To ensure efficient and sustainable midwater trawl fisheries, it is essential to better understand the drag characteristics and fluttering

Unlocking the Depths: Use of a Trait-Based Approach to Reveal the Diversity of Foraging Strategies in a Deep-Pelagic Fish Community. [PDF]
The deep‐pelagic fish community showed differences in functional strategies along the depth gradient. Epipelagic species exhibited significant trait convergence with traits adapted to the prey‐tracking strategy, while bathypelagic species exhibited significantly higher functional richness values than expected at random.

Modern specialized fishery of sea fish in the western Bering Sea
The shelf and continental slope of the western Bering Sea, being among the most productive areas of the Far-Eastern Seas of Russia, became exploited by commercial fishery half a century ago, after introduction of 200-mile exclusive economic zones in 1977

Calculating of horizontal opening for a trawl mouth using the mathematical model of midwater trawl system developed by V.I. Gabryuk gives the errors 25.4 and 32.9 %, on average, for the trawls RT 57/360 m and RT 80/396 m, respectively.

Phenology-informed decline risk of estuarine fishes and their prey suggests potential for future trophic mismatches. [PDF]
Abstract Conservation scientists have long used population viability analysis (PVA) on species count data to quantify critical decline risk, thereby informing conservation actions. These assessments typically focus on a single species rather than assemblages and assume that risk is consistent within a given life stage (e.g., across the different ...

Engineering calculation of a midwater fishing trawl
This paper presents a method for calculating the power and geometric properties of a midwater fishing trawl, which is a complicated engineering structure made up of tied flexible (threads, ropes, flap) and rigid (rigging, trawl boards) elements. A computational model, the functional relations for internal forces and geometric characteristics of the ...
