Evaluating and Advancing the Use of Shore‐Based Observers for Scientific Sampling and Catch Verification in High‐Volume Fisheries

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shore‐based observers are increasingly being used in place of at‐sea observers to monitor and sample commercial fisheries catch. However, few evaluations assess whether these programs meet their stated goals or how to optimize them, and industry data are rarely tested for accuracy despite serving as the foundation for catch accounting.

Joint Spatiotemporal Models for the Estimation of Prey Consumption and Predator–Prey Overlap: Dynamics of Pacific Cod Predation on Snow and Tanner Crab in the Eastern Bering Sea

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) are important predators of juvenile snow (Chionoecetes opilio) and Tanner crab (Chionoecetes bairdi) in the eastern Bering Sea (EBS), yet the relationship between cod–crab spatial overlap and total crab consumption is only partially understood.

Spatial habitat partitioning enables coexistence of three Gobiidae species in estuarine environments

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines resource partitioning (feeding morphology, diet and habitat partitioning) among three gobiid species, the Knysna sandgoby Psammogobius knysnaensis, the prison goby Caffrogobius gilchristi and the river goby Glossogobius callidus, within an estuarine environment.

Wetland plant growth in recycled glass sand versus dredged river sand: evaluating a new resource for coastal restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sand made from recycled glass cullet could supplement limited dredged river sand (dredge) in coastal wetland restorations; however, its suitability for wetland plants is unknown. In two experiments, we compared the biomass of several wetland plants in recycled glass sand to growth in dredge.
