By using an extensive alizarin complexone-mark-and-recapture program for of G. caerelescens juveniles, together with the collaboration of commercial fishermen, this cyprinid fish was demonstrated as: (1) migrating from a nursery lagoon toward the main lake and moving along the near-shore from spring to autumn; (2) migrating from the near-shore shallow habitats to off-shore deep habitats from autumn to winter; and (3) migrating to a nursery lagoon from off-shore deep habitats from winter to spring.

This work presents a Bayesian approach to estimate these parameters. A prior distribution of Z based on literature serves to overcome the biologically implausible Z estimates that can result from frequentist approaches. In addition to the classical estimation of a single P0 over the spawning area, the Bayesian framework allows also the modelling of egg densities in space, by including either spatial random effects, smoothing functions, or kriging like models, providing insights into the spatial variability of P0. The Bayesian approach was applied to the Bay of Biscay anchovy DEPM surveys. Results showed that this Bayesian approximation solved the implausible Z problem resulting in tighter credible intervals of both P0 and Z. Overall, spatial models outperformed the non-spatial model in terms of goodness of fit and resulted in slightly different total production estimates across models for each year, with a moderate decrease on uncertainty estimates.","PeriodicalId":9515,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139657745","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}

Hatchery-origin fish now dominate the population, and hatchery management is a key listing factor. However, scant release metric information is available. We compiled a time series of O. mykiss hatchery release data for all four Central Valley hatcheries releasing O. mykiss between 1948 and 2017. The biocomplexity of released fish has declined since the early 1980s. Individuals have been released at increasingly similar numbers, biomass, body sizes, times, and locations over time. Moreover, yearling fish have been released at larger sizes, leading to the near-exclusive release of age-1 smolts in February and March since the late 1990s and early 2000s. Pervasive reductions in release portfolios have likely occurred for other hatchery-supported Pacific salmonid stocks throughout the Pacific Rim region. In an increasingly variable environment, such reductions in intraspecific diversity could significantly affect population stability and resilience.","PeriodicalId":9515,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139657754","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}

In this study, we tested the effectiveness of four barotrauma relief techniques on 76 walleye (Sander vitreus) and compared their 10 min post-release behaviour and depth selection with an untreated control group using a biologger containing a tri-axial accelerometer and depth sensor. Vented fish showed the best success rate of returning to depth, while no untreated controls were able to swim down. For fish that remained at depth, half were found to have lost orientation and were upside down during the entire monitoring period, with this orientation being strongly associated with the relief method. Vented fish had higher chances (80%) of remaining in the correct orientation at depth compared with the other methods (average of 38%). Our research shows that the best way to prevent negative outcomes of barotrauma is to avoid fishing at depths that yield barotrauma; however, if unavoidable, affected fish should be carefully vented by trained anglers to best reduce post-release impairments.","PeriodicalId":9515,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139412439","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}

Although prior studies highlighted that fish physiology can modify the water signal in otoliths, studies for freshwater fish are scarce. We exposed different groups of Atlantic salmon parr Salmo salar to different scenarios of ambient-level variations in Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca ratios and then combined otolith chemical profiles with environmental data (water chemistry and temperature), Fulton's index, and otolith growth rates to assess what factors explain/influence the elemental ratios of Sr and Ba in otoliths. Generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs) using water-based otolith composition, temperature, Fulton's index, and “individual” as explanatory variables allow to demonstrate that water chemistry alone cannot fully explain measured ratios in otoliths, except in scenarios involving significant changes in water chemistry. Other factors (physiological effects) should be accounted for reproducing short and minimal seasonal variations in water composition, considering that inter-individual variability contributes quite significantly in most scenarios.","PeriodicalId":9515,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":"212 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139376362","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}

Since abundance indices can be standardized by various different ways from conventional design-based approaches to model-based approaches, it is essential to compare the efficiency of those approaches and quantify the consequences for stock assessments. In this study, we focus on an important commercial stock of witch flounder (Glyptocephalus cynoglossus) in NAFO 3N+3O divisions. We first compare the survey indices standardized by design-based and model-based approaches, and find that a model-based estimator provides more precise estimates of survey indices than design-based approach for this stock. We then apply a widely used Age-structured Statistical Catch-at-Length (ACL) assessment model to the standardized catch-at-length survey indices from both approaches to estimate the age-based population dynamics for this stock. We conclude that the ACL model fit to model-based indices performed better than the same model fit to design-based indices.","PeriodicalId":9515,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":"52 29","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139442140","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}

We then examine if adding a dark tunnel behind the escape opening can increase the escape efficiency of fish by triggering a station-holding behavior. Our results showed limited escapement through the large escape opening, however, significant for narrow length ranges of some species. Adding the dark tunnel significantly increased the escapement for all analysed species, with escapement up to 70 (40-83)% and 63 (8-93)% for roundfish and flatfish, respectively. As target species, a loss of crustaceans up to 85 (60-96)% highlighted the importance of optimising the integration of the dark tunnel in demersal trawls.
