This topical and exciting textbook describes fisheries exploitation, biology, conservation and
management, and reflects many recent and important changes in fisheries science. These …

Commences with a discussion of biological and statistical considerations involved in
designing an effective survey. Examines sampling equipment and techniques used in …

Stocks of Pandalus borealis off West Greenland have been assessed using a research trawl
survey since 1988. The survey has used a design of randomly placed stations, stratified (on …

Abstract The Northeast Atlantic (NEA) mackerel (Scomber scombrus) is a widely distributed
pelagic fish species that plays a key role in the marine ecosystem. In recent years, there has …

A full-scale fishing experiment on north-east Arctic cod (Gadus morhua) and haddock
(Melanogrammus aeglefinus), involving a trawler, a longliner and a gillnetter was conducted …

In a previous paper (Pennington and Vølstad, 1991, Biometrics 47, 717-723), it was
suggested that reducing the size of the sampling unit currently used in marine surveys could …

Abstract Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) has become a popular technique to
survey fish assemblages for a wide range of purposes. BRUV methodology has, however …

Many studies on the effects of temperature on fish distribution and population parameters
have considered the temperature and its variability at fixed stations or sections rather than …

Observing and quantifying fish behaviour towards active sampling gears like trawls is
challenging. A high-frequency imaging sonar (DIDSON) was applied to directly observe and …

Locomotion is the act and process of moving from place to place, which is fundamental to
the life history of all mobile organisms. While the field of biomechanics encompasses the …
