Over the past 10 years, fisheries scientists gradually adopted geostatistical tools when
analysing fish stock survey data for estimating population abundance. First, the relation …

Fishery surveys are an essential ingredient of modern fisheries stock assessment. To
understand this, one must understand that the survey time series are the essential anchor …

We describe a Eulerian–Lagrangian–agent method (ELAM) for mechanistically decoding
and forecasting 3-D movement patterns of individual fish responding to abiotic stimuli. A …

Ocean harvests have plateaued worldwide and many important commercial stocks have
been depleted. This has caused great concern among scientists, fishery managers, the …

I trace the development of fisheries models (ie, fish population dynamics models of species
subject to fisheries) to the 21st century. The first real efforts occurred in the period 1900 1920 …

Though the distribution of Atlantic sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus is relatively well known in
freshwater and estuarine habitats in the northern portion of their range, their distribution in …

We discuss methodological aspects directed to quantify the across-shore population
structure and abundance of sandy beach macroinfauna. The reliability of estimates derived …

The analysis of fishing effort data has long occupied fisheries researchers in deriving
appropriate indices of abundance for identifying changes in the size of fish populations …

Abstract Geostatistics (Matheron, 1971) is an application of probability theory to estimate
statistics relating to spatial variables. Geostatistics is applied in two stages. First, the …

The density and spatial distribution of 3 commercial fish species and coincident abiotic
factors were analyzed seasonally in the Cienaga Grande de Santa Marta between 1993 and …
