Statistical Power of Trends in Fish Abundance

Randall M. Peterman, +1 more
- 01 Nov 1987 - 
TL;DR: An empirically based simulation model of English sole off the west coast of North America was used to quantify the probability that trends in abundance of recruits will be successfully identified, and Monte Carlo simulations showed that under most realistic conditions the probability of correctly detecting recruitm...

Dynamics and Potential Production of White Sturgeon in the Unimpounded Lower Columbia River

John D. Devore, +3 more
- 01 Nov 1995 - 
TL;DR: The unimpounded lower Columbia River downstream from Bonneville Dam supports the greatest abundance and density of white sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus reported in the species' range, and population simulations predicted a maximum sustainable yield of 3.0 kg/recruit at an 18...

Initial Attempts to Actively Manage Recreational Fishery Harvest in Minnesota

Paul Radomski
- 01 Nov 2003 - 
TL;DR: The theories and management style of commercial fisheries management have recently been applied to recreational fisheries and several Minnesota recreational fisheries are now managed with target harvest levels based on sustainable yield predictors or quotas based on constant fishing mortality rate strategies as mentioned in this paper.

Estimating Mortality from Mean Length Data in Nonequilibrium Situations, with Application to the Assessment of Goosefish

Todd Gedamke, +1 more
- 01 Mar 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the transition behavior of the Beverton-Holt length-based mortality estimator has been investigated for use in nonequilibrium conditions and a new procedure was developed to estimate a series of mortality rates from mean length data in multiple years.

Spatial and Sex-Specific Variation in Growth of Albacore Tuna (Thunnus alalunga) across the South Pacific Ocean

Ashley J. Williams, +4 more
- 19 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: This work examined spatial variation in growth of albacore Thunnus alalunga across 90° of longitude in the South Pacific Ocean from the east coast of Australia to the Pitcairn Islands to find evidence for significant variation in length-at-age and growth parameters between sexes and across longitudes.
