Abstract:
... The stock assessment model SAM (state-space assessment model) is an important tool for analysing fishery data and is used for abundance estimation of several different fish stocks. We demonstrate incongruous formulations in the equations that relate the catch data to fish abundance, and in the fishery and natural mortality rates. We present example results to show how these formulations introduce ...

Abstract:
... Dynamics of inland fishery remain poorly understood despite their increasing socioeconomic importance and rapid growth. Here we analyze the changes in the dynamics of Chinese traditional and new inland fisheries by examining 26 years (1991–2016) of reported annual catch and mean trophic level in relation to socioeconomic development in China at provincial level. Results from spatial panel linear m ...

Abstract:
... Spain's accession to the European Union on 1 January 1986 meant the incorporation into its domestic law of the Union's acquis and, therefore, of the rules related to the Common Fisheries Policy. This was preceded by tough accession negotiations and the inclusion of a long transitional period with regard to fisheries that particularly affected the Galician fisheries sector, which has had to adapt t ...

Abstract:
... Stock assessments are critical to modern fisheries management, supporting the calculation of key reference variables used to make informed management decisions. However, there is still considerable uncertainty as to which class of assessment models is appropriate to use under different circumstances. A common class of models used when age data are available are statistical catch-at-age assessment ...

Abstract:
... We study under which conditions a ‘window of opportunity’ for a change from an overfishing situation, with high fishing effort, but low stocks and catches, towards sustainable fishery management arises. Studying the Eastern Baltic cod fishery we show that at very low stock sizes (as they prevailed in the early 2000s) all interest groups involved in the fishery unanimously prefer maximum-sustainabl ...

Abstract:
... This paper presents research on recreational paddlefish anglers’ preferences for catch-and-release fishing. We used stated preference (SP) data from a choice experiment to identify the effect of a hypothetical catch-and-release regulation on fishing preferences, and revealed preference (RP) data to measure the desirability of actual paddlefish fishing locations. We then modeled the effects of catc ...

Abstract:
... The abundance index used in a tuned virtual population analysis (VPA) is usually assumed to be proportional to actual abundance. However, the actual abundance and abundance index do not always have a linear relationship. Such nonlinearity can cause biases in abundance estimates as well as retrospective biases arising from systematic differences in abundance estimates when more data are successivel ...

Abstract:
... Most geographical agent-based models simulate agents through custom-made decision-making algorithms. This makes it difficult to assess which results are general and which are contingent on the algorithm's details. We present a set of general algorithms, applicable in any agent-based model for choosing repeatedly from a set of alternatives. We showcase each in the same fishery agent-based model and ...

Abstract:
... Are coastal communities relevant in fisheries management? Starting from what Svein Jentoft has had to say about the topic, we explore the idea that viable fishing communities require viable fish stocks, and viable fish stocks require viable fishing communities. To elaborate and expand on Jentoft’s arguments, first, we discuss values as a key attribute of communities that confer the ability to mana ...

Abstract:
... Sustainable fisheries management largely depends on how effectively fishing regulations are enforced, which often relies on active monitoring by fishers. If fishers perceive that monitoring schemes do not fulfill their needs, they will resist participating in monitoring. However, fisheries managers worldwide have been making blanket assumptions about the way fishers respond to a monitoring scheme. ...
