In principle, the spatial extent of fishery stock assessment should reflect the biological
population, and major fishing patterns or population heterogeneity within the area should be …

Interactions between spatial dynamics and stock structure in marine fishes have largely
focused on stocks in decline; stock structure is rarely re-visited for expanding species. Here …

Stock identification has been an important prerequisite for stock assessment throughout its
history. The earliest evaluations of recruitment variability recognized that understanding the …

Horse mackerel stock identification was carried out with the aim of obtaining management
units that were meaningful biological entities and thus improving the management of the …

Many studies have documented long-term changes in adult marine fish distributions and
linked these changes to climate change and multi-decadal climate variability. Most marine …

Life history parameters were historically used to identify fish stocks because they are often
easy to measure or are routinely measured as part of fishery monitoring and because they …

As life history diversity plays a critical role in supporting the resilience of exploited
populations, understanding the genetic basis of those life history variations is important for …

Phenotypic variation in fish can indicate exposure to different environmental conditions,
affecting species growth and maturation rates and/or be a consequence of genetic factors …

Mismatches between biological population structure and management unit boundaries often
violate the unit-stock assumption, which can reduce the accuracy and relevance of stock …
