A mechanistic understanding of hyperstability in catch per unit effort and density-dependent catchability in a multistock recreational fishery

HGM Ward, PJ Askey, JR Post - Canadian Journal of Fisheries …, 2013 - cdnsciencepub.com

fish density declines) in recreational fisheries are poorly understood owing to a lack of …

Predicting changes in the catchability coefficient through effort sorting as less skilled fishers exit the fishery during stock declines

BT van Poorten, CJ Walters, HGM Ward - Fisheries Research, 2016 - Elsevier
Effort sorting is a process in fisheries where fishers of various skill levels sort according to
fish density so that the mean catchability of remaining fishers increases as stock size …
