Recruitment is one of the most variable biological processes driving fisheries population
dynamics and the characteristics and drivers of the variation differ among stocks …

Mark-recapture approaches are among the most powerful fisheries methods for estimating
demographic parameters relating to survival, components of mortality (ie fishing, catch and …

The ideal stock assessment would be able to estimate all of the key parameters related to
population processes within a framework that assigns appropriate weight to the data, fits the …

Natural mortality (M) is often considered to be one of the most important parameters in a fish
stock assessment and affects productivity estimates for the population. However, it is also …

Integrated analysis has increasingly been the preferred approach for conducting stock
assessments and providing the basis for management advice for fish and invertebrate stocks …

Modeling of body growth forms an essential part of many fisheries stock assessments.
Growth influences population dynamics through its effects on lifetime patterns of biomass …

Integrated analysis (or integrated population modelling) methods have become the
preferred approach for conducting stock assessments, and providing the basis for …

Natural mortality rates (M) in fish populations vary with body size and age, often by orders of
magnitude over the life cycle. Traditionally, fisheries models and stock assessment methods …

Performance evaluation of data-limited, length-based methods is instrumental in
determining and quantifying their accuracy under various scenarios and in providing …

Age‐related changes in DNA methylation do occur. Taking advantage of this, mammalian
and avian epigenetic clocks have been constructed to predict age. In fish, studies on age …
