Simulation Studies for Fishery Stock Management.

Fishery Stock Assessment Models

Historically, stock assessments of Atlantic blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) and white marlin (Tetrapturus albidus), conducted under the auspices of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), have been restricted to production modeling approaches. Production models are used due to the unique fisheries and biological aspects of the species which result in a pauci...

Simulation Based Optimization in Fishery Management

The sea scallop resource of Georges Bank supports one of the largest commercial fisheries in the United States. The objective of this research was to develop a technique to examine different management strategies for the sea scallop resource of Georges Bank and compare these strategies to the optimal. A simulation model followed the sea scallop population dynamics using information from recent ...

Application to fishery stock assessment

We consider a Monte Carlo Markov chain (MCMC) algorithm for fisheries stock assessment. The biomass of this stock at a given year could be modeled as a nonlinear function of the biomass and catch for the two previous years, of different parameters (recruitment, growth rate, natural mortality rate). Given a time series of annual catch and effort data, we would like to achieve the best fitting be...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
