Although many studies have focused on marine resources, few studies have considered the resources of inland fisheries. Inland fishery resources are typically either monitored on the basis of catch data alone or are not assessed quantitatively at all, despite their social, economic, and ecological importance. Because freshwater ecosystems have been severely degraded by human activities, evaluati...

The American Samoa fishing ground is a dynamic region with strong mesoscale eddy activity and temporal variability on scales of <1 week. Seasonal and interannual variability in eddy activity, induced by baroclinic instability that is fueled by horizontal shear between the eastward-flowing South Equatorial Counter Current (SECC) and the westward-flowing South Equatorial Current (SEC), seems to p...

The Southeast Alaska Coastal Monitoring (SECM) project has been sampling juvenile salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) and associated environmental parameters in northern Southeast Alaska (SEAK) annually since 1997 to better understand effects of environmental change on salmon production. A pragmatic application of the annual sampling effort is to forecast the abundance of adult salmon returns in subsequ...

BACKGROUND In small-scale fishery, information provided by fishers has been useful to complement current and past lack of knowledge on species and environment. METHODOLOGY Through interviews, 82 fishers from the largest fishing communities on the north and south borders of a Brazilian northeastern coastal state provided estimates of the catch per unit effort (CPUE) and rank of species abundan...

Motivated by Ward & Myers (2005) that claimed higher impact of longline fishery on large pelagic community including blue shark, long-term comparison of shark CPUE were made using recent and historical data collected by Japanese research and training vessels in the western North Pacific. Standardized species combined shark CPUE (predominated by blue shark catch and assuming that the shark combi...

Wefocuson the zero-catchproblemofCPUE (catchperunit effort) standardization. Because the traditional CPUE model with a log-normal error structure cannot be applied in this case, three methods have often been utilized as follows: (1) Ad hoc method adds a small constant value to all response variables. (2) Catch model with a Poisson or negative-binomial (NB) error structure. (3) Delta-type two-st...
