Developing a new spatio-temporal framework for assessment of the Nova Scotia Inshore Sea Scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) Fishery
(2020-08-18)The current stock assessment model model used to assess areas of the Nova Scotia Inshore Sea Scallop (Placopecten Magellanicus) Fishery is a delay-difference model. However, this model has been found to be unable to reliably ... -

Population Status of Exploited Marine Fish Populations
(2014-12-23)Estimating the population status and trajectory of marine fishes is hampered by limited data and the assumptions needed to augment these data gaps can have broad implications. Poor management decisions based on poor ... -
Reflections on the failure of traditional fisheries management
(2016-06-03)A traditional fisheries management or fish stock assessment takes a Lamarckian-like instructive view of fisheries science. Its invalid inductive arguments have no problem solving capacity and are responsible for the collapse ... -
SOCIOECONOMIC RISK FROM OCEAN ACIDIFICATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ON ATLANTIC CANADIAN FISHERIES
(2017-12-15)Ocean acidification (OA) is an emerging consequence of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. The full extent of the biological impacts are currently not well understood. However, it is expected that invertebrate species ... -
Spatial distribution, spawning stock biomass and the development of spatial reference points
(2013-11-12)The relationship between spawning stock biomass (SSB) and 3 spatial distribution metrics (SDMs), measuring range, concentration, and density, using fisheries independent survey data for 10 demersal Northwest Atlantic fish ... -
The State-Spaced Integrated assessment model for Newfoundland's 'northern cod' as a stock assessment model that fails to distinguish between normative and natural laws
(2018-02-06)Stock assessment models for Atlantic Canada's groundfish fisheries such as Noel Cadigan's recent State-Spaced Integrated assessment model for Newfoundland's 'northern cod' involve single premised inductive arguments that ... -
TRACKING GLOBAL FISHERIES FROM SPACE: PATTERNS, PROBLEMS, AND PROTECTED AREAS
(2018-09-05)Fishing is one of the largest and most widespread ocean uses affecting marine ecosystems and biodiversity. From small-scale coastal vessels to industrialized high-seas fleets, the footprint of modern fisheries extends over ...
