important fishery and undergoes extensive monitoring and management. Since 2018, more …

Stock assessments provide scientific advice in support of fisheries decision making. Ideally,
assessments involve fitting population dynamics models to fishery and monitoring data to …

Many methods have been developed in the last 70 years to predict the natural mortality rate,
M, of a stock based on empirical evidence from comparative life history studies. These …

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 …

Retrospective patterns are systematic changes in estimates of population size, or other
assessment model-derived quantities, that occur as additional years of data are added to, or …

Fisheries managers seek to maintain sustainable fisheries production, but successful
management often requires the pursuit of multiple biological, ecological, and socioeconomic …

Fishery managers must often reconcile conflicting estimates of population status and trend.
Superensemble models, commonly used in climate and weather forecasting, may provide …

Starvation is a ubiquitous process in nature as all animals depend on finite resources to
survive. Limited food resources can lead to starvation-induced mortality and, depending on …

Aim To address the uncertainty associated with climate‐driven biogeographical changes in
commercial fisheries species through an ensemble species distribution modelling (SDM) …

Abstract Information on catch and effort of recreational angling in mixed‐use fisheries (co‐
exploited by commercial and recreational fishers) is often scarce, preventing the application …
