Marine population modeling, which underpins the scientific advice to support fisheries
interventions, is an active research field with recent advancements to address modern …

Fisheries biology encompasses a tremendous diversity of research questions, methods, and
models. Many sub-fields use observational or experimental data to make inference about …

Marine fish and invertebrates are shifting their regional and global distributions in response
to climate change, but it is unclear whether their productivity is being affected as well. Here …

Statistical models play an important role in fisheries science when reconciling ecological
theory with available data for wild populations or experimental studies. Ecological models …

Population diversity can reduce temporal variability in aggregate population abundances in
a process known as the portfolio effect. Portfolio effects may weaken, however, due to …

Fisheries science is concerned with the management and understanding of the raising and
harvesting of fish. Fish stocks are assessed using biological and fisheries data with the goal …

Improved understanding of the dynamics of populations at low abundance is needed in the
face of global biodiversity loss. We examined the dynamics of depleted demersal fish …

A hierarchical Bayesian life cycle model is presented that considers spatial covariation of
marine life history traits of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations in the North Atlantic …

Recruitment often varies substantially in fish populations, and residual variability may have
serial autocorrelation due to environmental effects even after accounting for a stock …

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