Fish biomass estimation is one of the most common and important practices in aquaculture.
The regular acquisition of fish biomass information has been identified as an urgent need for …

Acoustic surveys to estimate fish biomass and abundance are a major component of many
fisheries monitoring programs. An important bias in acoustic surveys is that fish may avoid …

Understanding the spatial ecology and habitat-use of Lake Erie's commercially important
walleye (Sander vitreus) population is imperative due to their large-scale seasonal …

Mobile hydroacoustic surveys using ship-based down-looking transducers are widely used
to estimate densities for ecologically and economically important pelagic fishes. However …

In recent years, due to an increased need for non-intrusive sampling techniques,
hydroacoustics has attracted attention in fishery science and management. Efforts to …

Abstract Stock assessments of Walleyes Sander vitreus in Lake Erie rely on a combination of
suspended and bottom overnight gill‐net surveys to provide population and demographic …

When estimating fish population abundance, it is important to recognize that differing habitat
use may cause one gear type to be more effective and less biased than another. We …

Fish behavior measurements are important for river and fishery scientists to protect fish
resources and for ecological engineers to guide ecosystem conservation but they can pose …

Abstract Knowledge of species‐specific fish biology, ecology, and habitat use is critical for
informing science‐based management. Yellow perch Perca flavescens are an ecologically …

Abundance estimates facilitate successful fisheries management. Fisheries agencies often
monitor abundance through fishery independent standardized protocols generating relative …
