The biomass and biogeochemical roles of fish in the ocean are ecologically important but
poorly known. Here, we use a data-constrained marine ecosystem model to provide a first …

Environmental change and the exploitation of marine resources have had profound impacts
on marine communities, with potential implications for ocean biogeochemistry and food …

Abstract The Beverton–Holt and Ricker stock‐recruit functions were derived in terms of two
pre‐recruit mortality parameters. Mace, & Doonan,(1988, A generalized bioeconomic …

Multiple processes act at different stages and different intensities within the timeline between
spawning and the age designated as “recruitment”. However, common practice is to model …

This study presents a state-space modelling framework for the purposes of stock
assessment. The stochastic population dynamics build on the notion of correlated survival …

International wild Atlantic salmon management priorities have moved from exploitation to
conservation since the 1990s, recognizing the need to protect diversity and abundance at …

We developed a generic, age-structured, state-space stock assessment model that can be
used as a platform for including information elicited from stakeholders. The model tracks the …

Recruitment success in marine species is mostly driven by the high and variable mortality of
first life stages, and the relationships between stock and recruitment are then largely …

The relationship between the spawning stock size and subsequent number of recruits is a
central concept in fisheries ecology. The influence of habitat selection of spawning …

Density dependent population growth functions are of central importance to population
dynamics modelling because they describe the theoretical rate of recruitment of new …
