Extirpation of Atlantic Cod from a Northwest Atlantic ecosystem in the absence of predator control: inference from an ecosystem model of intermediate complexity

no code implementations11 Nov 2023 Steven P. Rossi, Sean P. Cox. Hugues P. Benoît

Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence (sGSL) declined to low abundance in the early 1990s and have since failed to recover due to high natural mortality, which has been linked to grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) predation.

Evaluating the potential impacts of grey seal predation and fishery bycatch/discards on cod productivity on the Western Scotian Shelf and in the Bay of Fundy

no code implementations16 Aug 2023 Steven P. Rossi, Yanjun Wang, Cornelia E. den Heyer, Hugues P. Benoît

We developed a statistical catch-at-age model for 4X5Y cod that accounted for both grey seal predation and estimated bycatch/discards to evaluate the degree to which either of these factors may influence cod mortality.

Evaluating the sustainability of a de facto harvest strategy for British Columbia's Spot Prawn (Pandalus platyceros) fishery in the presence of environmental drivers of recruitment and hyperstable catch rates

The Spot Prawn trap fishery off the west coast of British Columbia (BC) is managed using a fixed escapement strategy that aims to prevent recruitment overfishing while maximizing expected long-term yield by closing the fishery when the catch rate of spawners, projected to the following spring, drops below 1. 7 spawners per trap (the de jure rule).
