      Management strategy evaluation (MSE) is the state-of-the-art approach for testing and comparing management strategies in a way that accounts for multiple sources of uncertainty (e.g. monitoring, estimation, and implementation). ...
    • Determinants of mean length at age of spring spawning herring off the coast of Hokkaido, Japan 

      Watanabe, Yoshiro; Dingsør, Gjert Endre; Tian, Yongjun; Tanaka, Iori; Stenseth, Nils Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008-08-29)
      The stock of Hokkaido spring spawning herring Clupea pallasii collapsed in the middle of the 20th century. In the first half of the 20th century, large amounts of spawning herring were caught by set nets at coastal ...
    • The effects of selective harvest on Japanese Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus niphonius) phenotypic evolution 

      Sun, Peng; Shang, Yangke; Sun, Runlong; Tian, Yongjun; Heino, Mikko Petteri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Japanese Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus niphonius) is an important fish species in the China Seas with wide distribution, extensive migration, and high economic value. This species has been yielding high fisheries production ...
    • Exploring fishing impacts on the structure and functioning of the Yellow Sea ecosystem using an individual-based modeling approach 

      Sun, Runlong; Sun, Peng; Yu, Haiqing; Ju, Peilong; Ma, Shuyang; Liang, Zhenlin; Heino, Mikko Petteri; Shin, Yunne-Jai; Barrier, Nicolas; Tian, Yongjun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The Yellow Sea is a marginal sea in the Northwestern Pacific where the fishery resources have been overfished and the community structure has greatly changed over the past six decades. Ecosystem modeling approaches are ...
    • Latitudinal differences in early growth of largehead hairtail (Trichiurus japonicus) in relation to environmental variables 

      Sun, Peng; Chen, Qi; Fu, Caihong; Xu, Yi; Sun, Runlong; Li, Jianchao; Yu, Haiqing; Zhang, Chi; Liu, Yang; Ye, Zhenjiang; Tian, Yongjun; Heino, Mikko Petteri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Largehead hairtail (Trichiurus japonicus) in the China Seas shows an increasing catch trend, despite continued overexploitation, which could be attributed to improved recruitment as a result of strengthened early growth. ...
    • Size-selective harvesting alters biological traits of marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) 

      Xi, Xiaoyu; Sun, Peng; Sun, Runlong; Tian, Yongjun; Heino, Mikko Petteri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Under long-term fishing pressure, the biological traits of many wild fish populations have changed. Such phenotypic changes include smaller in size and earlier age-at-maturation, strongly suggesting that fishing could ...
