Following a series of training workshops focused on the Stock Synthesis and Stock Assessment Continuum Tool packages, Australian stock assessment scientists were invited to participate in a hypothetical stock assessment “Game” to explore the repercussions , for assessment, of different levels of experience and technical capability in an informal “consequence-free” manner. A fishery data set was generated using a simulation model that represented a stock distributed over 12 regions and harvested by three fishing fleets. The simulation model was made complex by including spatial structure, time-varying selectivity for some fleets, and changes over time in expected recruitment due to the effects of an environmental driver. The analysts self-organized into six (mostly within-agency) groups and reported estimates of current biomass, current depletion and advice regarding the possibility of local depletion. The results of the Game were used to evaluate the approaches used by the various groups and to identify areas where future training would be most beneficial. The results highlighted opportunities for additional training in spatially-explicit population dynamics modelling, the use of methods for pre-processing monitoring data to select appropriate fleet and population structures, as well as the use of methods to provide values related to growth and natural mortality. The groups treated the Game more seriously than was originally intended by the organizers, with several analysts concerned that any errors or assumptions that were mis-matched with the simulated reality may have brought embarrassment to themselves and their agency. Care should therefore be taken that simulation experiments intending to foster collaboration and learning do so in an explicitly understood risk-free environment. Overall, the Game proved valuable in contributing to the development of an Australian community of practice for stock assessment and identifying how to strengthen assessment capabilities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50443,"journal":{"name":"Fisheries Research","volume":"284 ","pages":"Article 107319"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143610814","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}

Standard integrated spatio-temporal models combine multiple data sources via a catchability factor. Recently, spatially varying catchability (SVC) integrated spatio-temporal models were developed to implement data integration via the estimation of an SVC term for the least reliable data sources. Expanded-domain integrated spatio-temporal models are models integrating data from different spatial areas. Spatio-temporal models can combine standard or SVC integrated modelling with expanded-domain integrated modelling. The above-mentioned types of data integration have never been evaluated through a comparative analysis. Here, we investigate the impacts of these different types of data integration on the predictions of spatio-temporal models, via an application to the southern hake (<em>Merluccius australis</em>) HAK4 stock, where the bottom trawl data collected within the New Zealand observer programme are integrated with data from five different bottom trawl research surveys, and a simulation experiment. In total, six models were compared in the present study, where the three last models constitute expanded-domain integrated models: (Model 1) a model fitted to observer-only data for HAK4; (Model 2) a standard integrated model fitted to both observer and survey data for HAK4; (Model 3) an SVC integrated model fitted to both observer and survey data for HAK4; (Model 4) a model fitted to observer-only data for HAK4 and the other New Zealand hake stocks (HAK1 and HAK7); (Model 5) a standard integrated model fitted to both observer and survey data for HAK4, HAK1 and HAK7; and (Model 6) an SVC integrated model fitted to both observer and survey data for HAK4, HAK1 and HAK7. For the simulation experiment, we produced simulated data from Model 5, fitted the six models to the simulated data, and evaluated the performance of the models by comparing their estimations to the simulated data. Overall, the indices obtained with the different types of integrated models outperformed the indices obtained with models using observer-only data: indices from the integrated models were more precise, better matched the traditional stratified random index and had less bias and a smaller root-mean-squared-error, yet characterised uncertainty less well. Moreover, expanded-domain integrated models outperformed other models regarding habitat assessments: (1) they provided insights into spatial density patterns for much larger regions and predicted these patterns more precisely for the area common to all models; and (2) models combining expanded-domain integrated modelling with standard or SVC integrated modelling predicted patterns of distribution shifts and range expansion/contraction more precisely than the e","PeriodicalId":50443,"journal":{"name":"Fisheries Research","volume":"284 ","pages":"Article 107321"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143592109","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}

This diversity acts as a natural bet hedge, where different populations may thrive under varying conditions, ensuring the overall stability and survival of the species. Regarding migratory salmonids, the portfolio effect is particularly important due to their complex life cycles and reliance on diverse and interconnected habitats along their ontogenic migration. To date, little is known about the temporal variability of dispersal movements, both in terms of intensity and direction. Yet, dispersal behavior is expected to vary over the next decades, in response to the overwhelming stressors (biotic and abiotic, from natural and anthropogenic sources) that salmonids are facing. In this study, we investigated Atlantic salmon (<em>Salmo salar</em>) dispersal patterns on a regional scale in western Europe, <em>i.e.</em> the Bay of Biscay, using otolith chemistry (Ba/Ca, Sr/Ca, and <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr). Our results display significant connectivity between salmon subpopulations, particularly that of the Adour, which appears to be both a source (emigration rate: 1.3 ± 1.0 %) and a sink (immigration rate: 4.9 ± 4.3 %) for related populations. Although changes in Atlantic salmon dispersal could be expected with the acceleration and intensification of global change effects, our study shows very stable philopatric and dispersal rates over the last decade. Combined with genetic studies, our observations suggest that the metapopulation structure may help in the stability of the system, probably via a demographic but also perhaps genetic rescue effect.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50443,"journal":{"name":"Fisheries Research","volume":"284 ","pages":"Article 107323"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143579360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a management strategy based on a new constrained biomass dynamics model (‘dynamic tier 4’) as an alternative to the currently applied empirical management strategy (‘empirical tier 4’) used in Australia’s Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery (SESSF). The dynamic tier 4 management strategy is constrained because the biomass dynamics model on which it is based involves the assumption that yield corresponding to the biomass target occurred during a pre-specified set of reference years. This is the same assumption that is made by the empirical tier 4 management strategy. Management strategy evaluation is used to evaluate performance among three ways of accounting for error when fitting the dynamic tier 4 approach, and to evaluate performance against the empirical tier 4 management strategy as well as a management strategy based on an integrated assessment implemented using Stock Synthesis (‘tier 1’). Finally, the sensitivity of the empirical tier 4 and dynamic tier 4 management strategies to an incorrect choice for the pre-specified reference years is explored. The results demonstrate improved performance by the dynamic tier 4 management strategy compared to the empirical tier 4 management strategy. As expected, the data-rich, tier 1 management strategy had the best performance. The dynamic tier 4 management strategy has a reduced probability of the stock falling below the limit reference point, reduced catch variability and is less sensitive to incorrect reference year choice than the empirical tier 4 management strategy. These results demonstrate that the dynamic tier 4 management strategy is a suitable alternative to the empirical tier 4 management strategy in the SESSF, and more generally, can be considered as a robust option for forming the basis for management recommendations for data-limited situations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50443,"journal":{"name":"Fisheries Research","volume":"284 ","pages":"Article 107317"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143548392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
