Abstract:
... The values used for natural mortality (M) are very influential in stock assessment models, affecting model outcomes and management advice. Natural mortality is one of the most difficult demographic parameters to estimate, and there is often limited information about the true levels. Here, we summarise the evidence used to estimate natural mortality at age for the four main stocks of yellowfin tuna ...

The aim of this study is to contribute to the literature on design thinking, by investigating the perceived usefulness of including design thinking activities into a complex research project for food safety. A survey was distributed to all participants in SafeConsume, ...

Abstract:
... More scientifically based stock assessments of data-limited species are rapidly increasing worldwide. Concurrently, non-negligible biases of stock status estimated using data-limited methods are becoming an issue. It is well known that the assumed prior distribution on depletion for some data-limited methods strongly affects the estimated stock status. Priors on depletion are best set based on exp ...

Abstract:
... Artificial reef designs have evolved rapidly over the past two decades, but further work is needed to inform how specific design features affect reef function. In south-eastern Australia, most artificial reefs consist of either a field of concrete modules, or large steel structures which are deployed to enhance recreational fisheries. To evaluate how these two designs might influence the densities ...

Abstract:
... Natural mortality (M) is one of the most influential parameters in fisheries stock assessment and management. It relates directly to stock productivity and reference points used for fisheries management advice. Unfortunately, M is also very difficult to estimate, and hence very uncertain. Representing the uncertainty in M and how this influences estimates of management quantities is therefore an i ...

Intermittent freezing of the soil over winter is an important abiotic disturbance in temperate climates and its effects on soil structure depend on the soil’s preexistent structural strength and cohesion. Management choices such as tillage and plant cover after harvest strongly influence soil structure, a ...
