Demographic analysis as an aid in shark stock assessment and management

Enric Cortés
- 15 Dec 1998 - 
TL;DR: The use of demographic analyses incorporating life history information on validated age and growth, reproduction, and natural mortality is proposed to gain insight into the population dynamics of sharks under a variety of scenarios and to assess their vulnerability to varying exploitation rates as mentioned in this paper.

Comparison of Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC) in selection of stock–recruitment relationships

Yanjun Wang, +1 more
- 01 Feb 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the maximum likelihood method was used to fit the six statistical SR models on six sets of simulated SR data, and the best relationships were selected using the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion(BIC) methods, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-linear state space modelling of fisheries biomass dynamics by using Metropolis-Hastings within-Gibbs sampling

Russell B. Millar, +1 more
- 01 Jan 2000 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a non-linear surplus production model was used to fit a state space model to data on South Atlantic albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga).

Trophic Resource Partitioning, Diets, and Growth of Sympatric Estuarine Predators

Kyle J. Hartman, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1995 - 
TL;DR: The diets of striped bass, bluefish, and weakfish from the Chesapeake Bay were defined and compared, across seasons and early ages to evaluate how different prey species contribute to the production of average individual piscivores.

Growth and longevity in freshwater mussels: evolutionary and conservation implications

Wendell R. Haag, +2 more
- 01 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: The great variability in age and growth among and within species shows that allocation to growth is highly plastic in freshwater mussels, and the strong negative relationship between growth and longevity suggests this is an important trade‐off describing widely divergent life‐history strategies.
