Population structure, ecological segregation and reproduction in non‐anadromous Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus (L), in four unexploited lakes in the Canadian high Arctic

TL;DR: Land-locked populations of Arctic charr in four lakes on Northern Ellesmere Island were found to consist of two distinct sizes: ‘dwarf’ and ‘normal’ charr, and it is postulated that the two groups live in dynamic equilibrium where the advantages of progenesis in the smaller type are traded against the larger proportion of the energy resources available to the larger type.

A MULTISPECIES ANALYSIS OF THE COMMERCIAL DEEP-SEA HANDLINE FISHERY IN HAWAll

TL;DR: Examining the aggregation process suggests that the model based on the intermediate level of aggregation (cluster groups) explains slightly more of the variation in total catch than does the model which treats all 13 species together.

Wildlife Tunnel Enhances Population Viability

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use population viability modeling to assess the effectiveness of tunnels for the endangered Mountain Pygmy-possum (Burramys parvus) in Australia.

Do natural mortality and availability decline with age? An alternative yield paradigm for juvenile fisheries, illustrated by the hake Merluccius merluccius fishery in the Mediterranean

TL;DR: Cette etude explore la contradiction apparente entre une pression intense de chalutage sur les juveniles and the production soutenue de merlus, lors of the derniere decennie, ce qui est le cas pour de nombreuses pecheries de Mediterranee.
