Incorporating the Impacts of Climate Variability on Growth in Fish Population Dynamics Models

Creator:

Moron Correa, Giancarlo Helar

Abstract:

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 an important contributor to biomass fluctuations. Climate variability also affects somatic growth rates along the...

Implementation of a gross anatomical maturity key for the study of spawning phenology and geography of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus)

Creator:

Neidetcher, Sandra

Abstract:

Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) is an important species, both economically and ecologically in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI). However, little is known about its spawning dynamics. To address this knowledge gap, I developed a gross anatomical maturity key for Pacific cod to assess temporal and spatial patterns of...
