The central stock of northern anchovy (CSNA; Engraulis mordax), the most abundant small
pelagic fish in the southern California Current, is key to ecosystem functions. We review …

Generating biomass-at-age indices for fisheries stock assessments with acoustic data
collected by uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) has been hampered by the need to resolve …

Changing ecosystem conditions present a challenge for the monitoring and management of
living marine resources, where decisions often require lead-times of weeks to months …

Selectivity is a key parameter in stock assessments that describes how fisheries interact with
different ages and sizes of fish. It is usually confounded with other processes (eg, natural …

Objective Little is known about the marine ecology of anadromous Pacific Lamprey
Entosphenus tridentatus and Western River Lamprey Lampetra ayresii. This information is …

The environmental conditions that marine populations experience are being altered
because of climate change. In particular, changes in temperature and increased variability …

Management strategy evaluation (MSE) provides a simulation framework to test the
performance of living marine resource management. MSE has now been adopted broadly …

Ignoring spatial population structure in the development of fisheries management advice
can affect population resilience and yield. However, the resources required to develop …

Hook-and-line surveys can be used to estimate population trends in fish species where
conventional methods such as trawl, acoustic, visual, or pot surveys cannot be applied …
