This study presents a new, open-source modelling software entitled ‘Just Another Bayesian Biomass Assessment’ (JABBA). JABBA can be used for biomass dynamic stock assessment applications, and has emerged from the development of State-Space Surplus Production Model framework, already applied in assessments sharks, tuna, billfishes around world. unifying, flexible framework modelling, runs quickly, generates reproducible status estimates diagnostic tools. Specific emphasis been placed on...
Surplus production models (SPMs) have a long history in fisheries ecology and are important for the assessment management of marine species stocks. However, implementation, application, usage these vary across regions case studies. Good practice guidelines can streamline modelling workflows, inform acceptance or rejection an assessment, facilitate derivation advice from accepted assessments. This paper discusses current practices application SPMs proposes good their use stock assessment. We...
Integrated analysis has increasingly been the preferred approach for conducting stock assessments and providing basis management advice fish invertebrate stocks around world. Many decisions are required when developing integrated assessments. For example, analyst needs to decide whether model fits data, if optimization was successful, estimates consistent retrospectively, is suitable predict future responses fishing. This study provides practical guidelines implementing selected diagnostic...
Ectotherms exhibit considerable plasticity in their life-history traits. This can reflect variability environmental and social factors, but the causes of observed patterns are often obscured with increasing spatial scales. We surveyed dichromatic parrotfishes across northern Great Barrier Reef to examine variation body size distributions concomitant at sex change (L∆50 ) against hypotheses directional influence from biotic abiotic factors known affect demography. By integrating top-down,...
Sablefish ( Anoplopoma fimbria) of the Northeast Pacific support a highly mobile, valuable fishery resource currently managed as three separate populations. Recent work has shown sablefish to be genetically mixed; have high movement rates; and synchronous biomass trends, including recent declines. A management strategy evaluation was developed with stakeholders scientists from regions investigate whether spatially structured paradigms might result in better conservation economic outcomes....
Hawaiian fishponds, or loko i‘a, are ancient aquaculture systems and models of sustainable aquatic resource management from traditional Native harvest practices. Of the 488 fishponds documented in Hawai‘i, only 38 currently actively managed. Building on Indigenous local knowledge, being adapted to current community needs. Functional perpetuate culture, improve food security, enhance ecosystem services transform conservation biology through perspectives. Here we examine how practices...
