Abstract A variety of criteria may influence the efficacy networks marine protected areas (MPA) designed to enhance biodiversity conservation and provide fisheries benefits. Meta‐analyses have evaluated MPA attributes on abundance, biomass, size structure harvested species, reporting that size, age, depth, connectivity strength responses. However, few empirical evaluation studies used consistent sampling methodology across multiple MPAs years. Our collaborative research program...
Abstract Environmental and biological factors influencing fish larvae can drive fishery cohort strength, yet larval abundance is typically a better indicator of spawning biomass. Under changing ocean, studies that explore the relationships between environmental variables, abundance, recruitment remain valuable areas for ongoing research. We focus on popular, recreational-only, multispecies saltwater bass (genus Paralabrax) whose population status recovery potential are uncertain. resolved...
Collaborative fisheries research programs engage stakeholders in data collection efforts, often with the benefit of increasing transparency about status and management natural resources. These are particularly important marine systems, where recreational commercial have historically been contentious. One such program is California Fisheries Research Program (CCFRP), which was designed 2006 to anglers scientific process evaluate efficacy California’s network protected areas. CCFRP began on...
Recent marine spatial planning efforts, including the management and monitoring of protected areas (MPAs), increasingly focus on importance stakeholder engagement. For nearly 15 years, California Collaborative Fisheries Research Program (CCFRP) has partnered volunteer anglers with researchers, fishing industry, resource managers to monitor groundfishes in California's network MPAs. While program succeeded generating sustained biological observations, we know little about angler demography or...
Abstract Environmental and biological processes acting on fish larvae can drive fishery cohort strength, but predictive ability oftentimes falls short, larval abundance is generally considered more useful as a proxy for spawning biomass. Under changing ocean, studies that relate environmental covariates, abundance, recruitment are worthy of continued research, especially in data-limited contexts. We focus popular, recreational-only, multispecies saltwater bass (genus Paralabrax) whose...
ABSTRACT Aggregation-based fisheries are notorious for booms and busts driven by aggregation discovery subsequent fishing-induced collapse. However, environment-driven sporadic recruitment in some since-protected populations has delayed recovery, suggesting recruitment-limitation may be a key driver of their population dynamics fishery recovery potential. To glean insight into this dynamic, we focused on an overexploited temperate aggregate spawner (Barred Sand Bass; Paralabrax nebulifer )...
Barred Sand Bass (Paralabrax nebulifer) range from Central California to
