Temporal variability in biological parameters (i.e., population processes) is common among fish stocks and may substantially impact the outputs of stock assessments. Growth variability is an important contributor to biomass fluctuations in several …
Temporal variability in somatic growth is one of the main drivers of biomass fluctuations in fish stocks but is infrequently modeled explicitly in stock assessments. In recent years, state-space assessment models have been developed to estimate …
Ocean acidification (OA) has the potential to significantly affect the production of valuable fishery resources, including gadids and other groundfishes through multiple ecological pathways. These include the direct physiological effects on larvae …
Variations in ocean conditions influenced by climate fluctuations may impact fish populations by changing their spatial distribution, physiology, survival, and other ecological features. Somatic growth is a crucial aspect of the biology of fishes and …
Variation in somatic growth is common in fish populations but often ignored when implementing stock assessment models, which can substantially impact model inputs and outputs. Age composition is defined as the proportion of a fish population …
Fish populations commonly exhibit spatial and temporal variability in somatic growth. For instance, differences in oceanographic conditions between areas or years can drive variation in rates of somatic growth, which increases variance in size-at-age …
A biogeographical transition zone is a boundary between biogeographical regions, representing an area of biotic overlap, which is promoted by historical and ecological changes that allow the mixture of taxa belonging to different biotic components. …
The Peruvian anchovy (Engraulis ringens) is the most important small pelagic of the Humboldt Current, supporting the largest mono-specific fishery in the world. Previous studies have tried to link spatial indicators with environmental variables, …
