      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). ...
    • Contrasting patterns in the occurrence and biomass centers of gravity among fish and macroinvertebrates in a continental shelf ecosystem 

      Friedland, Kevin D.; Smolinski, Szymon; Tanaka, Kisei (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The distribution of a group of fish and macroinvertebrates (n = 52) resident in the US Northeast Shelf large marine ecosystem were characterized with species distribution models (SDM), which in turn were used to estimate ...
    • Counting stars: contribution of early career scientists to marine and fisheries sciences

      Scientific careers and publishing have radically changed in recent decades creating an increasingly competitive environment for early career scientists (ECS). The lack of quantitative data available on ECS in marine and ...
    • Differences in metabolic rate between two Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) populations estimated with carbon isotopic composition in otoliths 

      Smolinski, Szymon; Denechaud, Come; von Leesen, Gotje; Geffen, Audrey J.; Grønkjær, Peter; Godiksen, Jane A.; Campana, Steven E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The isotopic composition of inorganic carbon in otoliths (δ13Coto) can be a useful tracer of metabolic rates and a method to study ecophysiology in wild fish. We evaluated environmental and physiological sources of δ13Coto ...
    • Growth portfolios buffer climate-linked environmental change in marine systems 

      Campana, Steven E.; Smolinski, Szymon; Black, Bryan A.; Morrongiello, John R.; Alexandroff, Stella J.; Andersson, Carin; Bogstad, Bjarte; Butler, Paul G.; Denechaud, Côme; Frank, David C.; Geffen, Audrey J.; Godiksen, Jane Aanestad; Grønkjær, Peter; Hjörleifsson, Einar; Jónsdóttir, Ingibjörg G.; Meekan, Mark; Mette, Madelyn; Tanner, Susanne E.; van der Sleen, Peter; von Leesen, Gotje (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Large-scale, climate-induced synchrony in the productivity of fish populations is becoming more pronounced in the world's oceans. As synchrony increases, a population's “portfolio” of responses can be diminished, in turn ...
