This species’ importance lies in its role in the typical marine ‘wasp-waist’ food web, where capelin acts as a conduit for energy flow from lower to higher trophic levels. Herein we describe a novel observation of capelin spawning subtidally on an annual brown algae species, Desmarestia viridis, during July–August 2019 in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland, Canada. Based on extensive video surveys of the seabed along with shoreline surveys and sediment sampling, we did not find other nearby sites with typical capelin subtidal and intertidal spawning habitat (i.e. medium sand to pebble gravel). Findings suggest that capelin spawned directly on this brown algae species, D. viridis. Eggs adhered to D. viridis developed normally and hatched successfully. As temperatures of intertidal areas are predicted to increase above temperatures suitable for capelin egg rearing (2–12°C) with climate change, D. viridis may become a high-quality subtidal spawning habitat for capelin and other fish species. In support, this algal species is adapted to colonize high disturbance areas, allowing protection from egg predators in a high flow environment while also being resistant to urchin grazing.","PeriodicalId":16669,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48332489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Avoiding non-target species while maximizing harvest of target species may require fishing differently across seasons and years, so the ability to predict bycatch occurrence is important for efficient and sustainable fishing operations. We demonstrate a potential application of bycatch predictions in the Atlantic sea scallop ( Placopecten magellanicus ) fishery. Catch data from a bycatch survey were used to develop models for yellowtail flounder ( Limanda ferruginea ) bycatch in the scallop fishery in response to environmental variables, and the models were validated using at-sea observer data. Results indicate that location (latitude, longitude, management area), temperature, zenith angle (a proxy for ambient light), and temporal effects (season, month, year) affect the presence and abundance of yellowtail flounder bycatch in the scallop fishery. Simple models with a subset of variables (latitude, longitude, and month) were fitted to help predict the magnitude and location of bycatch prior to fishery openings and in areas with no bycatch information. This study demonstrates how predictive models can be used to avoid bycatch species.","PeriodicalId":16669,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48675187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model does not account for the considerable uncertainty about the landings data for this stock. Retrospective patterns have also been noted in the current assessment with overestimation of spawning stock biomass (SSB) and underestimation of fishing mortality (F). Via a thorough model selection process, we develop a state-space stock assessment model (SSM) for this stock that accounts for the uncertainties in the landings data and reduces the retrospective patterns. Our SSM fit the data well, with overall trends in SSB and average F (ages 9–14) similar to those estimated from the current VPA. The retrospective patterns for the SSM were reduced for both SSB and average F which should lead to the provision of better scientific advice for the management of this stock. An important result from our analysis suggests that the current assumption for natural mortality (M) in the stock assessment model may be too low. The lack of recovery of the stock of American plaice on the Grand Bank has often been attributed to overfishing, however fixing M within the model to be lower than is reasonable may be over-estimating the relative impact of F and subsequently over-stating the contribution of fishing mortality to the lack of recovery of the stock.","PeriodicalId":16669,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45084426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Collecting fecundity data, however, can be cost prohibitive or ineffective if a sampling protocol is not well designed. Inappropriate sampling can lead to biased estimates of fecundity, which may result in biased estimate of reproductive potential. Processing egg samples tends to be time-consuming and labour-intensive. For many fish and crustacean species, fecundity is dependent on female sizes. Nevertheless, at extreme size classes, fecundity may decrease or level off due to senescence. In order to account for this maternal effect, female sample of a wide size range need to be collected for developing a complete relationship between fecundity and body sizes. Using the Gulf of Maine northern shrimp, Pandalus borealis, as an example, we evaluated two sampling strategies, simple random sampling and size-based stratified random sampling, with a different number of sampling locations and different number of animals sampled per sampling location or length interval. The study shows that both the sampling strategies, simple random sampling and size-based stratified random sampling, can generate representative samples. However, the simulation analysis suggests that when the population size distribution is skewed with a lack of large and/or small individuals, size-based stratified random sampling is preferred due to lower variation in differences of means and medians between samples and the population. This study provides a simulation framework for identifying a cost-effective sampling protocol that can improve the estimate of fecundity, leading to an improved estimate of fish population reproductive potential.","PeriodicalId":16669,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science","volume":"51 1","pages":"33-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49571004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, data from the Northern Gulf of Maine (NGOM) are usually excluded from the assessment because limited monitoring effort and an overall lack of information regarding the growth of ASCs in this region have led to large uncertainty of fine-scale dynamics. The objectives of this study are to determine if ASC growth varies spatially and/or temporally across the NGOM and if the variation in growth can be explained in part by variability in bottom temperature and bottom salinity. To achieve these objectives, ASC shells have been continually collected through a partnership between the University of Maine and Maine Department of Marine Resources since 2006. Individualistic ASC length-at-age curves are developed to evaluate small and large scale spatio-temporal variabilities. In comparison to ASC growth on Georges Bank and in Southern New England, it appears that ASCs in the NGOM are growing at a similar rate yet have the potential to grow to a larger size. No clear spatio-temporal trends in ASC growth are identified in the NGOM. However, our analysis reveals that bottom temperature and bottom salinity may be influencing inter-annual variabilities and contribute to growth rate differences seen between locations and years. This may imply changes in ASC growth in the future with increasing warming in the Gulf of Maine.","PeriodicalId":16669,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science","volume":"51 1","pages":"15-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43730652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A boosted regression tree was used to identify significant interactions among environmental variables to integrate within the Tweedie GAM and a regional circulation model was incorporated with the Tweedie GAM to hindcast projections of scallop distribution and assess the impacts of environmental change on this species. Additionally, we evaluate two common model fitting and variable selection methods for GAMs to ensure high model performance. A classic backward variable selection procedure was compared to penalized thin plate regression splines. Projections from the climate-niche species distribution model show higher scallop density along inshore areas relative to those farther offshore. An increasing temporal trend in scallop density was observed along inshore areas and a decreasing temporal trend was observed in areas farther offshore. Additionally, we found that the GAM incorporating thin plate regression splines outperformed the widely used backwards stepwise procedure.

Previous studies have shown that female halibut in the warmer southern area mature at sizes 10–20 cm smaller than female halibut in the colder north. Our goal was to examine the role of growing degree-day (GDD, the number of days X temperature °C above a minimum threshold) on growth rate and length at maturity (LM50%). Two separate datasets, associated with the stock-wide DFO-Industry Halibut Longline Survey, were used to estimate these life history traits. GDD had a significant effect on both growth rates and probability of maturity. Females grew faster and matured at a larger size than males. Female growth rate at a reference length of 90 cm corresponding to the southerly NAFO 4X was ~11.5 cm/ year, significantly faster than in the northerly NAFO division 3N (8 cm/year). Male growth rate at 90 cm corresponding to NAFO divisions 4X and 4W were 7.2 and 7.5 cm/year, significantly faster than in NAFO divisions 3N and 3Ps (5.6 and 5.8 cm/year). Both sexes matured at smaller sizes in the southern areas with higher GDD. Females in the warmer southern divisions were more likely to mature ~10–28cm less than the more northerly divisions. However, the corresponding prediction intervals for NAFO divisions were very wide. On average, fish mature at a smaller size in 4WX, but we cannot predict length at maturity for any new observations in any division. We have identified large variation in life history traits across the stock domain associated with the thermal regime. Such variation in life history traits could be used to improve the assessment models and may also be indicative of stock structure that could be eroded if not addressed in the management of the fishery.","PeriodicalId":16669,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43903910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
