Evaluating the stock status of commercial fish is essential for sustainable fisheries management, as it informs conservation efforts and resource allocation. This study evaluated the stock status of these two flounder species using three length-based assessment methods: TropFishR, length-based spawning potential ratio (LBSPR), and length-based Bayesian Biomass (LBB). Length and weight data from 1947 pointhead flounders and 4715 blackfin flounders were collected in the eastern waters of Korea. Both species exhibited positive allometric growth patterns, with b values of 3.40 and 3.39, respectively. Among the growth parameters estimated via the ELEFAN-GA method, the asymptotic length was 43.44 and 42.27 cm, and the growth coefficient was 0.20 and 0.16 year⁻¹ for pointhead and blackfin flounder, respectively, while the total mortality derived from the length-converted catch curve for the two species was 1.19 year⁻¹ and 0.92 year⁻¹ , respectively. Both species showed exploitation rates above the optimal value of 0.5 (0.69 for pointhead flounder and 0.66 for blackfin flounder), which indicated overexploitation. The LBSPR results revealed low spawning potential ratios of 0.19 for the former and 0.23 for the latter, which indicated recruitment overfishing. Furthermore, growth overfishing was also evident, as most samples were below the length at first maturity, i.e., 24.67 cm for pointhead flounder and 24.09 cm for blackfin flounder. The ratio of fishing mortality to natural mortality was 2.87 and 2.25, respectively, exceeding the reference point of 1 for both species, while that of current biomass to virgin biomass was 0.12 and 0.15, respectively, both below the reference point of 0.50.

In both cases, subsidies for railway transport are used, which increases the proportion of railway in the optimal transport route and reduced carbon emissions. However, the two cases employ different types of subsidies, and the choice of subsidy type might be influenced by the varying distances of transport.

A tide-wave-sediment numerical model was built and validated for Hangzhou Bay (HZB), using reconstructed near-shore typhoon wind fields. The model incorporates wave-current coupling and water-sediment density coupling and considers fine sediment flocculation and fluid mud bottom boundary layer. Results show that the typhoon remarkably enhances wave-induced bottom stress but slightly increases current-induced bottom stress. Increased wave-induced bottom stress led to intensified sediment resuspension, subsequently increasing suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and SSF during the typhoon. Typhoon wind fields primarily impact sediment transport, with large wave impacts on both the south and north banks, while the effect of air pressure was negligible. The tide-induced net SSF was eastward. Residual currents magnitudes and SSC were positively correlated with typhoon intensity. Tide-surge nonlinear effects decrease the SSC. By decomposing the net SSF, the Euler transport term (<em>T</em><sub>1</sub>) and the tidal trapping effect (<em>T</em><sub>4</sub>) were the main terms among 7 components. The winds promoted sediment transport mainly through <em>T</em><sub>1</sub> and <em>T</em><sub>4</sub>. For wave-induced sediment transport, <em>T</em><sub>4</sub> was the main term. The tide-surge nonlinear interaction suppressed surge-induced sediment transport through <em>T</em><sub>1</sub> and tide-induced sediment transport through <em>T</em><sub>4</sub>. The findings reveal the mechanism of sediment transport during extreme weather conditions in macro-tidal turbid estuaries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21070,"journal":{"name":"Regional Studies in Marine Science","volume":"84 ","pages":"Article 104109"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143576968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
