A new model for simulating growth in fish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-01-16)A real dynamic population model calculates change in population sizes indepen- dent of time. The Beverton & Holt (B&H) model commonly used in fish assessment includes the von Bertalanffy growth function which has age or ... -
Density-dependent growth as a key mechanism in the regulation of sh populations: evidence from among-population comparisons
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001-11-30)It is generally assumed that fish populations are regulated primarily in the juvenile (pre-recruit) phase of the life cycle, although density dependence in growth and reproductive parameters within the recruited phase has ... -
Determinants of mean length at age of spring spawning herring off the coast of Hokkaido, Japan
(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 ... -
Disentangling the causes of maturation trends in exploited fish populations

Maturity changes in Norwegian spring-spawning herring Clupea harengus: compensatory or evolutionary responses?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004-05-19)The stock of Norwegian spring-spawning herring Clupea harengus collapsed to a state of commercial extinction in the 1960s, probably due to both overexploitation and unfavourable climatic conditions. Since the 1980s, the ... -
Recruitment decline in North Sea herring is accompanied by reduced larval growth rates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-28)The stock of North Sea autumn spawning herring Clupea harengus (L.) has shown an unprecedented 10 yr sequence of sharply reduced recruitment, in spite of a high spawning biomass. Recent work has identified this below-expected ... -
Variation in Size and Growth of the Great Scallop Pecten maximus along a Latitudinal Gradient
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-05-23)Understanding the relationship between growth and temperature will aid in the evaluation of thermal stress and threats to ectotherms in the context of anticipated climate changes. Most Pecten maximus scallops living at ...
