Abstract:: Stock assessments use statistical models and empirical data to re-create the population dynamics of a stock in order to provide estimates of biomass and fishing mortality rates to inform fisheries management. Fish stocks are not uniformly distributed across spatial regions, but stock assessments typically ignore stock spatial structure, for the...

Creator:: Arnold, Linsey M.

Proposed mechanisms driving the variability in productivity at a given population size have included environmental and demographic factors related to the age structure of the population, but the broad-scale...

Abstract:: Depletion-Based Stock Reduction Analysis (DB-SRA; Dick and MacCall, 2011) is a catch-only fisheries stock assessment model that has been developed to estimate an overfishing limit (OFL) in data-poor situations. DB-SRA projects the biomass trajectories of a stock by means of a catch time series and five parameters: the instantaneous, per...

Abstract:: The critically endangered Maui's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori maui) and the endangered Hector's dolphin (C. h. hectori) are endemic to the coastal waters of New Zealand, where their primary threat is fisheries-related mortality. The Maui's dolphin is among the most critically endangered cetaceans in the world, with its remnant population primarily...
