Cod recruitment is strongly affected by climate when stock biomass is low

Spawning stock and recruitment in North Sea cod shaped by food and climate

In order to provide better fisheries management and conservation decisions, there is a need to discern the underlying relationship between the spawning stock and recruitment of marine fishes, a relationship which is influenced by the environmental conditions. Here, we demonstrate how the environmental conditions (temperature and the food availability for fish larvae) influence the stock-recruit...

When every $P$-flat ideal is flat

In this paper‎, ‎we study the class of rings in which every $P$-flat‎ ‎ideal is flat and which will be called $PFF$-rings‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎Von Neumann regular rings‎, ‎hereditary rings‎, ‎semi-hereditary ring‎, ‎PID and arithmetical rings are examples of $PFF$-rings‎. ‎In the context domain‎, ‎this notion coincide with‎ ‎Pr"{u}fer domain‎. ‎We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for‎...

When is Stock Picking by Mutual Funds Successful?

Predicting herring recruitment from young-of-the-year densities, spawning stock biomass, and climate

Because fish are key organisms in most aquatic ecosystems, we seek to understand what determines their highly variable reproductive success. From our work, it appears that yearclass strength of Baltic Sea herring (Clupea harengus L.) can be predicted from young-of-the-year densities in a small coastal area (hydroacoustic data), a climate index (the North Atlantic Oscillation), and the spawning ...

SOLVING FUZZY LINEAR SYSTEMS BY USING THE SCHUR COMPLEMENT WHEN COEFFICIENT MATRIX IS AN M-MATRIX

This paper analyzes a linear system of equations when the righthandside is a fuzzy vector and the coefficient matrix is a crisp M-matrix. Thefuzzy linear system (FLS) is converted to the equivalent crisp system withcoefficient matrix of dimension 2n × 2n. However, solving this crisp system isdifficult for large n because of dimensionality problems . It is shown that thisdifficulty may be avoide...
