Abstract Calculating age and growth rate for the commercially important whelk, Buccinum undatum in aid of fishery management has historically been undertaken using rings on organic operculum. This is difficult due to their poor readability confusion between two different sets lines present. Recent work presented calcium carbonate statolith as an alternative determination B. undatum. Here we compare use statoliths opercula, comparing creating curves three distinct populations across United...
Bycatch in valuable NE Atlantic baited 'pot' fisheries for lobster Homarus gammarus and edible crab Cancer pagurus has not been well documented, potentially limiting evidence-based management. Using onboard observers supplemented by fishers' ecological knowledge (FEK) we characterised bycatch of fish larger invertebrates 10,741 pot hauls around the coast Wales, UK, over 4 years all seasons. A total 1529 from 30 species, 15 species invertebrate, were recorded. abundance varied seasonally...
Abstract Objective The common whelk Buccinum undatum is of great commercial and ecological importance, but little information known regarding the gear selectivity fishery. Understanding key for long‐term sustainability a stock has applications in assessments fishery management. Methods We investigated effect (pots) on catch within through mark–recapture study comparative trials across Wales. size composition population water was estimated by dividing numbers at brought onboard pots....
Abstract Baited static gear fisheries targeting benthic invertebrates have expanded at a global scale. While improvements been made in the monitoring and management of these fisheries, reliable survey methods for stock assessments many key species are lacking. In this study we examine viability baited remote underwater video (BRUV) system obtaining abundance indices data-limited (common whelk, Buccinum undatum), compare method to catch per unit effort (CPUE) from commercial fishing. BRUVs...
