Fisheries that exploit mixed stocks are very common, and their management oftentimes requires assessment of composition of the mixed catches (Begg et al., 1999). Multilocus genotypes of fi sh are a natural tag by which to infer their origins. The unknown proportions from stocks comprising a stock mixture, or its stock composition, can be estimated from genotype counts in a random sample of the ...

22 Despite the economic importance of Pandalus shrimp fisheries, few analytical tools have been 23 developed to assess their stocks and traditional stock assessment models are not appropriate 24 because of biological specificities of Pandalus species. In this context, we propose SPAM, a 25 model dedicated to protandric hermaphrodite Pandalids stock assessment. Pandalids are difficult 26 to asse...

species composition, relative abundance, absolute abundance and biomass of sturgeon species were studied during the years 2008-2009. eighty five stations were covered in the stratified random sampling design in depths less than 1om using 9m bottom trawl (head line) and in depths more than 10m using 24.7m bottom trawl (head line). more than 70 specimens of acipenser persicus were caught during t...

Increased railway patronage worldwide is putting pressure on rolling stock and infrastructure to operate at higher capacity and with improved punctuality. Condition monitoring is seen as a contributing factor in enabling this and is highlighted here in the context of rolling stock being procured with high capacity data buses, multiple sensors and centralised control. This therefore leaves scope...
