Increase in Harp Seal Ecosystem Role After the Cod Collapse in Newfoundland & Labrador
ABSTRACT Pinniped populations have been increasing worldwide, posing challenges for fisheries management, including damage to fishing gear and competition for resources. In the Northwest Atlantic, harp seal numbers have increased from 1.8 million in 1970 to 6.5 million in 1990, stabilising at 4.4 million in 2024—one of the largest pinniped populations ...

Towards Implementing Multispecies Harvest Strategies That Are Robust to Interacting Populations
To advance the implementation of fisheries management that is robust to interacting populations (RIP), ecosystem management approaches can be structured using four main categories: (A) whole‐of‐ecosystem; (B) focus or key species; (C) species of conservation concern; and (D) pest or climate‐immigrant species.

Cost drivers of commercial‐scale marine finfish hatchery production in southern tier US states
Abstract The United States has the resources to become a leader in the production of marine finfish and has developed a series of national strategic plans that include increased support for the growth of commercial marine finfish production. An economically viable hatchery phase of production is necessary to supply fingerlings needed for growout ...

Estimation of the catchability of redfish and blue whiting for survey trawls in the Norwegian Sea
Summary Estimates of fish biomass, derived from hydroacoustic registrations are generally dependent on biological information from trawl catches. Catch composition is necessary for accurate quantitative allocation of acoustic energy to the different ...

Abstract The distribution, phenology, and population dynamics of species at multiple trophic levels have been impacted by climate change across a range of spatial scales. Upper trophic level species may be uniquely impacted through changes to prey species and foraging habitats in space and time.
