This study examines temperature-related changes in nearshore fish communities in Casco Bay, Maine, using 11 years of beach seine survey data, showing shifts in species abundance and growth rates.

This study evaluates Japanese eel population trends using updated fisheries and scientific monitoring data, finding significant declines in adult eels but no clear trend in glass eels.

This study evaluates a smartphone app for self-reporting fishing data in a recreational fishery, comparing it to traditional creel surveys and finding mixed reliability across metrics and species.

The paper examines the exploitation ratios of demersal fish species in the Celtic Seas and finds no evidence that rarer species have lower exploitation ratios than common ones, suggesting current management methods are insufficient for conserving the assemblage as a whole.

The paper examines how temperature variation and life history traits influence nonlinearity in marine fish population fluctuations, finding temperature amplifies nonlinearity while life history dampens it in slow-lived species.

The paper analyzes dynamic stability and sensitivity patterns in three Atlantic cod subpopulations to inform fisheries management.

The paper analyzes 40 years of North Sea Atlantic cod abundance data to assess population stability changes, finding reduced resilience and altered age group dynamics post-2000 decline.

The paper develops a co-produced network model to explore potential pathways of decline and increase in a Patagonian toothfish fishery under climate change and fishery trends.

This paper combines eDNA and acoustic-trawl data using a Bayesian joint model to estimate fish biomass, showing eDNA suggests broader distribution and potentially higher abundance of European anchovy.

The paper introduces the 'Green Band' concept to assess fishing pressure's impact on ecosystem structure using catch and production data across four case studies.

The paper evaluates the sustainability of a brown shrimp fishery using catch and effort data to estimate biological reference points and assess exploitation levels.

This paper validates Atlantic salmon scale reading using genetic parent assignment and PIT-tagging, finding high accuracy for sea-age but lower for freshwater-age and discrepancies in back-calculated smolt length.

The paper identifies global hotspots of climate-driven fish biomass decline risks by integrating biomass projections, fishing effort, and socioeconomic vulnerability.

This study shows that diet affects performance trade-offs in Atlantic salmon during their marine stage, with age-dependent impacts on condition factor and maturation age.

This study identifies declining prey densities as the main driver of size declines in lesser sandeel in the North Sea, while temperature effects are smaller and context-dependent.

The paper introduces surveyjoin, a database and R package that standardizes and integrates bottom trawl survey data from the Northeast Pacific Ocean to improve fisheries management and ecosystem assessments.

This paper quantifies bottom contact areas of longline fishing gear in the Sablefish fishery, finding low habitat risk due to minimal contact in most areas.

This study examines changes in fish and mollusc species in the Mediterranean Sea from 130,000 years ago to the Industrial Revolution, showing environmental and human impacts on their abundance and size.

This study examines fishing strategies in multispecies fisheries, showing predators are more affected by fishing than prey, and high yields come with ecological trade-offs and risks.

This study identifies two morphologically distinct populations of Mediterranean horse mackerel in the Adriatic Sea using morphometric analysis and discriminant modeling.

This study validates the use of dorsal scute microchemistry to reconstruct migratory life-history of Atlantic Sturgeon using telemetry data.

This study examines eco-evolutionary effects of selective exploitation on Atlantic salmon metapopulations, finding lower abundance and earlier maturation with increased exploitation, especially when targeting larger individuals.

The paper introduces CATCH, a convolutional-LSTM model that forecasts fish stock probability densities in Icelandic waters using fishing fleet data, achieving high accuracy and generalization across multiple species.

The paper assesses coho salmon population dynamics and evaluates harvest scenarios to inform collaborative management strategies in a declining fishery.

This paper develops age-specific species distribution models to improve fisheries management by forecasting age classes and bycatch risk.

The paper collects enhanced seabird bycatch data in the Canadian Arctic fishery and finds significant variability between different data collection methods.
