The total world catch from marine and freshwater wild stocks has peaked and may be
slightly declining. There appear to be few significant resources to be developed, and the …

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

Abstract Interpretation of data used in fisheries assessment and management requires
knowledge of population (eg growth, natural mortality, and recruitment), fisheries (eg …

The problem of extinction in the sea has been recognized only recently by the scientific
community (Roberts and Hawkins 1999). For the last decade, the American Fisheries …

Multi-species statistical catch at age models (MSCAA) can quantify interacting effects of
climate and fisheries harvest on species populations, and evaluate management trade-offs …

The Bering Sea is a high-latitude, semi-enclosed sea that supports extensive fish, seabird,
marine mammal, and invertebrate populations and some of the world's most productive …

Genetic population structure of Pacific cod, Gadus macrocephalus, was examined across
much of its northeastern Pacific range by screening variation at 11 microsatellite DNA loci …

The choice of how to model selectivity differs among approaches to fisheries stock
assessment. VPA tends to make only weak assumptions regarding (age-specific) selectivity …

Contemporary fisheries stock assessments often use multiple diverse data sets to extract as
much information as possible about biological and fishery processes. However, models are …

During the last three decades, population abundances of eastern Bering Sea (EBS) crab
stocks fluctuated greatly, driven by highly variable recruitment. In recent years, abundances …
