Incorporating Time-Varying Catchability into Population Dynamic Stock Assessment Models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theory and evidence for time-varying catchability, its effects on stock assessment estimates, and methods to include time-changing catchability in stock assessments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological, chemical and organoleptic changes during maturation of farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar

TL;DR: It is concluded that in the later stages of maturation, the quality of the meat deteriorates and the odour and flavour became much less pronounced, and the texture became watery and tough.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stock-recruitment models for Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax)

TL;DR: Conelation with Hog reproductive success was highest when average SST data included temperatures after the period of larval development, indicating that recruitment estimates were affected by environmentally driven changes in availability of older sardine to the fishery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Density-dependent predation, habitat variation, and the persistence of marine bivalve prey

TL;DR: A conceptual model detailing the relative importance of behavior, morphology, habitat features, and the basic components of predator–prey interactions to the survival of bivalve molluscs is developed and intended to be used as a heuristic tool to develop testable hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fish growth rates modulate mercury concentrations in walleye (Sander vitreus) from eastern Canadian lakes.

TL;DR: The growth rate as a biological factor dominates all other environmental factors to account for differences in Hg concentrations in walleye populations studied, and suggests that faster-growing walleyes will have lower HG concentrations than slower-growing fish at a given length.
