Change in Oregon’s Nearshore Groundfish Trawl Fishery: Perspectives from Science and Industry Data

Creator:

Howard, Rebecca A.

Abstract:

The commercial groundfish fishing industry and groundfish research have a long concurrent history of activity on the Oregon continental margin. Within the non-whiting groundfish fishery, the target species are primarily flatfishes, sablefish, lingcod, and rockfishes, though landings of each have fluctuated over time. Recent work shows that over the past...

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...

The Influence of Model Resolution on Dispersal and Retention in Oregon Coastal Waters

Creator:

Wong-Ala, Jennifer A. T. K.

Abstract:

Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) models are used to explore how physical processes influence the transport of particles (e.g., eggs, larvae, or propagules) in the ocean. On the Oregon continental shelf and slope, the Northern California Current System (CCS) is influenced by spatially and temporally variable coastal currents driven by weather,...
