Investigation of the first recent crayfish plague outbreak in Ireland and its subsequent spread in the Bruskey River and surrounding areas
(EDP Sciences, 2022-06-02)
White-clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) is a keystone species found in western European freshwater bodies, where it has suffered drastic declines due to pathogens, competition with nonindigenous crayfish species ...
Highly resolved spatiotemporal simulations for exploring mixed fishery dynamics
(Elsevier, 2020)
To understand how data resolution impacts inference on mixed fisheries interactions we developed a highly resolved spatiotemporal discrete-event simulation model MixFishSim incorporating: i) delay-difference population ...
Global status of groundfish stocks
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc, 2021-05-04)
We review the status of groundfish stocks using published scientific assessments for 349 individual stocks constituting 90% of global groundfish catch. Overall, average stock abundance is increasing and is currently above ...
Long-term trends in herring growth primarily linked to temperature by gradient boosting regression trees
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-09-01)
Environmental change and fishing activity can produce directional trends in exploited fish populations with consequences for stock productivity. For herring in the Celtic Sea, size at age has been in steady decline since ...
Peterman's productivity method for estimating dynamic reference points in changing ecosystems
(Oxford University Press, 2022-03-15)
Target and limit reference points are fundamental management components used to define sustainable harvest strategies. Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) and the precautionary principle underpin many reference points. Non-proxy ...
Spatial separation of catches in highly mixed fisheries
(Springer Nature, 2018-09)
Mixed fisheries are the dominant type of fishery worldwide. Overexploitation in mixed fisheries occurs when catches continue for available quota species while low quota species are discarded. As EU fisheries management ...
Evaluation of the skill of length-based indicators to identify stock status and trends
(Oxford University Press, 2022-03-26)
In data-poor situations, length-based indicators (LBIs) and reference points based on life history parameters have been proposed to classify stocks according to conservation status and yield optimization. Given the variety ...
