They are believed to consist of two genetically distinct highly resident stocks, one in northern Namibia (17–24°S) and one in southern Namibia (24–26°S). Here, Von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF) parameters were obtained and compared using bootstrapped length-frequency-analysis, LFA (ELEFAN_GA_boot, n = 29 monthly length-frequency-distributions of 20,090 individuals), tag-and-recapture (grotag_boot, n = 80 growth increments) and length-at-age, LAA (grolenage_boot, based on n = 104 otoliths northern stock and n = 155 southern stock) methods in the “fishboot” R package. For the first time, these three methods were combined and compared within a standardized, robust bootstrap framework. The results indicated an extremely slow body growth, with similar median “optimum” results for K and L∞ , but smaller median Φ′ for LAA (otolith readings) than from other methods. LAA was the most precise method, especially when large-sized individuals were captured (northern stock). No differences in growth between stocks or sexes (males, females, hermaphrodites) were detected. The bootstrapped VBGF model that best explained the data, combining results from different methods (southern stock), had extremely slow growth with intermittent recruitment occurring every 4 years (in 2000, 2004, and 2008), with the following median values: K = 0.066 y<sup>−1</sup> (from otoliths, 95 % CI: 0.0067–0.12 y<sup>−1</sup>), L∞ = 77.29 cm (from otoliths, 95 % CI: 55.48–400.26 cm), Φ′ = 2.62 (95 % CI: 2.52 –2.74), t<sub>anchor</sub>= 0.50 (95 % CI: 0.18–0.87), C = 0.53 (95 %CI: 0.19–0.87), and t<sub>s</sub> = 0.47 (95 %CI: 0.14–0.88) from LFA. This makes <em>L. aureti</em> even more vulnerable to overfishing as well as climate change. There is an urgent need for the development and application of new management strategies for this endangered, longevous species (maximum age from otolith readings: 38 years), considering its irregular reproduction, recruitment, and extremely slow growth. Also, our study evidences the need to develop new software tools for LFA, that should be able to explicitly consider intermittent recruitment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50443,"journal":{"name":"Fisheries Research","volume":"288 ","pages":"Article 107456"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144569821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding how striped bass respond to capture and handling, particularly air exposure, is crucial for improving management and angler practices to maximize post-release survival. This study evaluated the physical and physiological condition of 521 striped bass subjected to catch-and-release angling across different gear and tackle types and five air exposure treatments using reflex action mortality predictors. A subset of striped bass (n = 37) caught on conventional gear and double treble hook lures were fitted with triaxial accelerometer biologgers to assess short-term post-release activity across three air exposure treatments. Reflex impairment increased with higher water temperatures, longer fight and handling times, increased air exposure, and hooking in locations other than the jaw. Physical injury from foul hooking was more frequent with conventional gear, while deep hooking occurred more often with fly gear. Post-release activity was influenced by time following release, with higher activity observed in striped bass not air exposed compared to those exposed for 30 s and 120 s. Within 20 min of release, all fish survived, demonstrating resilience to the tested conditions. Our findings suggest that anglers can minimize their impact by using single hooks, reducing fight and handling times, limiting air exposure, and avoiding high water temperatures, especially for striped bass larger than 65.4 cm. These findings can inform management decisions and hone best practices for catch-and-release of striped bass.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50443,"journal":{"name":"Fisheries Research","volume":"288 ","pages":"Article 107459"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144563518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, results show crowding negatively impacts retained anglers’ experience and alters their behavior more than other angler groups, but crowding does not seem to be a reason for lapsing.

At the sub-Antarctic Heard Island and McDonald Islands (HIMI), four grenadier (<em>Macrourus</em>) species represent a high bycatch percentage in the Patagonian toothfish (<em>Dissostichus eleginoides</em>) demersal longline fishery. Current fisheries bycatch limits for <em>Macrourus</em> species are categorised into two species pair groups: shallow-water living (<em>Macrourus caml</em>, <em>M. whitsoni</em>) and deep-water living (<em>M. holotrachys, M. carinatus</em>). However, misidentification by fishery observers due to similar characteristics limits high taxonomic resolution within catch records. Therefore, improving observer accuracy of bycatch stock identification from pooled <em>Macrourus</em> Genus level to species level is required within HIMI fisheries.

In all experiments, a conventional grid comprising 20-mm bar spaces was the control.

In both species and study lakes, the released fish recruited to fisheries at 3 or 4 years of age and were exposed to heavy total mortality rate (<em>Z</em> = 1.06 – 2.07 yr<sup>−1</sup>) as estimated from catch curves. As in many previous studies, a positive relationship was found between fish length at release and recapture probability. Together with the influence of body condition, the effect of body length was particularly strong among fish stocked at age 2. In both species, recapture probability was lower for fish that showed precocious maturity and negatively associated with pectoral fin erosion. Our results complement existing knowledge on the relationship between fish condition indicators and stocking success, and provide data to set quality metrics for fish released for PGT purposes.

The predominance of individuals above the size at first maturity in waters below 300 m depth would indicate that reproduction occurs on these slope grounds. The most important prey items in the diet were by far crustaceans and fish, followed by secondary prey such as molluscs, echinoderms and annelids.

We used Generalized Additive Mixed Models to show that a thermal habitat compression index was strongly associated with this increase in landings. During marine heatwaves albacore thermal habitat likely became more available closer to shore, and recreational fishers appeared to opportunistically increase fishing intensity to target them. In contrast, the catch per unit of effort (fish per trip) in this fishery was hyperstable, and less responsive to environmental drivers. While our results show that landings rose sharply during a recent period of ocean warming, effort from smaller private fishing vessels has been increasing since 2012, suggesting that social drivers of effort and participation are also important in this fishery.
