Objective

There is international pressure to increase the worldwide expanse of marine protected areas (MPAs). However, MPAs often lack preexisting long-term biological baselines, which are essential for assessing MPA effects and for refining the conservation and socioeconomic benefits they confer to society. Our study addresses this issue by establishing demographic baselines for two commercially important species prior to a proposed fishing ban inside the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument, a recently established MPA on the continental shelf break approximately 200 km southeast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Methods

Samples were obtained by the Commercial Fisheries Research Foundation's American Lobster and Jonah Crab Research Fleet, which is an industry-based, fishery-dependent data collection program. Specially trained participants recorded year-round biological data from their 2013 to 2021 commercial catches of American lobster Homarus americanus and Jonah crab Cancer borealis. Samples were taken from an area inside the MPA and from two areas outside the MPA, spanning 130 km to the east and west.

Result

American lobster sizes and sex ratios varied between areas, and their sizes, sex ratios, and proportion of ovigerous females differed between submarine canyons within areas. American lobster sizes, sex ratio, proportion of ovigerous females, and prevalence of shell disease were also affected by season and/or depth. Jonah crab parameters did not vary between areas, but sex ratio varied with season and depth, and the proportion of ovigerous females varied with depth.

Conclusion

These demographic baselines are the only data available, at a sufficient spatial and temporal resolution, for evaluating the effects of a proposed fishing ban in the MPA, and they fill important data gaps for stock assessments. To evaluate possible future population changes, it will be necessary to continue collecting data from inside and outside the MPA using comparable methods, and to account for the preexisting sources of variation that we have identified.

目的国际社会面临着增加全球海洋保护区面积的压力。然而,海洋保护区往往缺乏预先存在的长期生物基线,这对于评估海洋保护区的影响以及完善其给社会带来的保护和社会经济效益至关重要。我们的研究通过在东北峡谷和海山海洋国家纪念碑内拟议的捕鱼禁令之前为两个具有商业重要性的物种建立人口基线来解决这个问题,这是一个最近在大陆架断裂处建立的MPA,约200 马萨诸塞州科德角东南公里处。方法样本由商业渔业研究基金会的美国龙虾和约拿螃蟹研究船队获得,这是一个基于行业、依赖渔业的数据收集项目。经过专门训练的参与者记录了他们2013年至2021年商业捕捞的美国龙虾美洲霍马鲁和乔纳蟹癌症北虾的全年生物数据。样本取自MPA内部的一个区域和MPA外部的两个区域,跨度为130 东西各公里。结果美国龙虾的大小和性别比例在不同地区之间存在差异,不同地区海底峡谷的大小、性别比例和产卵雌性比例也存在差异。美国龙虾的大小、性别比、产卵雌性的比例和贝类疾病的流行率也受到季节和/或深度的影响。乔纳蟹的参数在不同地区之间没有变化,但性别比随季节和深度而变化,产卵雌性的比例随深度而变化。结论这些人口基线是以足够的空间和时间分辨率评估拟议禁渔令在海洋保护区的影响的唯一可用数据,它们填补了种群评估的重要数据空白。为了评估未来可能的人口变化,有必要继续使用可比方法从MPA内外收集数据,并解释我们已经确定的先前存在的变异源。

Objective

Scads Decapterus spp. occur widely throughout tropical, subtropical, and temperate oceans and are both economically and ecologically important species. They are among the main commercial fish species caught by the light falling-net fishery in the South China Sea, which is dominated by Mackerel Scad Decapterus macarellus and Shortfin Scad D. macrosoma. Stock assessment is an approach used to guide effective management and maintain fishery sustainability.

Methods

Two data-poor methods, namely length-based Bayesian biomass estimation and length-based spawning potential ratio, were applied to assess the status of Mackerel Scad, the most dominant Decapterus species in the South China Sea. Electronic length–frequency analysis was used to estimate von Bertalanffy growth parameters (asymptotic length Linf and growth coefficient K) to serve as priors.

Result

The results show the estimated Linf and K of Mackerel Scad in the South China Sea as 36.0 cm and 0.37/year, respectively. Estimated natural mortality was 0.74/year, and mean fork length at 50% sexual maturity was 24.29 cm. Length-based Bayesian biomass estimation analysis showed that the estimated relative stock size had decreased from 1.3 in 2012–2014 to 0.7 in 2019–2021, indicating an overfished status. Length-based spawning potential ratio analysis showed that the estimated spawning potential ratio for this fishery decreased from 13% to 12%, which is significantly below the limit reference point of 20%.

Conclusion

Our results obtained through length-based methods indicate the lower SPR of Mackerel Scad stock was due to catching an excess of juveniles. Therefore, we highlight the need to increase the minimum mesh size in the fishing nets and strengthen international cooperation for conserving this shared stock in the South China Sea.

目的十翅目Scads Decapterus spp.广泛分布于热带、亚热带和温带海洋,是具有重要经济和生态意义的物种。它们是南中国海轻落网渔业捕捞的主要商业鱼类之一,该渔业以Mackerel Scad Decapterus macarellus和Shortfin Scad D为主。 巨大瘤。种群评估是一种用于指导有效管理和保持渔业可持续性的方法。方法采用基于长度的贝叶斯生物量估计和基于长度的产卵潜势比两种数据贫乏的方法,对南海最具优势的十翼目物种Mackerel Scad的状况进行评估。电子长度-频率分析用于估计von Bertalanffy生长参数(渐近长度Linf和生长系数K)作为先验。结果估计南海Mackerel Scad的Linf和K为36.0 cm和0.37/年。估计的自然死亡率为0.74年,50%性成熟时的平均叉长为24.29 基于长度的贝叶斯生物量估计分析表明,估计的相对种群规模已从2012-2014年的1.3减少到2019-2021年的0.7,表明存在过度捕捞状态。基于长度的产卵潜力比分析表明,该渔业的估计产卵潜力比从13%下降到12%,明显低于20%的极限参考点。结论通过基于长度的方法获得的结果表明,Mackerel Scad种群的SPR较低是由于捕获了过多的幼鱼。因此,我们强调需要增加渔网的最小网目尺寸,并加强国际合作,以保护南中国海的这一共同种群。

Objective

Predatory invasive fishes may consume species of management interest and alter food webs. Blue Catfish Ictalurus furcatus is a large-bodied, salinity-tolerant species that exhibits broad diet breadth and preys on species of both conservation concern and fisheries management interest. To better understand the ecological consequences of the establishment of Blue Catfish fisheries, estimates of predatory impacts are needed.

Methods

Using a Monte Carlo simulation, we integrated abundance estimates, diet information, and consumption-to-biomass ratios to estimate population-level Blue Catfish predation for a large Chesapeake Bay tributary along the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States, the James River.

Result

Population-level annual predation estimates by Blue Catfish exceeded 100 metric tons for several species or taxa of interest, including an estimated 400.7 metric tons (95% CI = 272.6–613.2) of blue crab Callinectes sapidus. Prey species abundances were unknown and thus limited opportunities to evaluate prey population responses. For instance, effects of Blue Catfish on blue crab populations remain unknown without tributary-specific estimates of blue crab abundance, but comparisons to landings data suggests that Blue Catfish predation on blue crab in the James River may be low compared with harvest.

Conclusion

Estimation of Blue Catfish predatory effects may inform development of management goals and objectives that balance diverse stakeholder interests. This work provides beneficial information to assess trade-offs of Blue Catfish fisheries and their effects on coastal aquatic resources.

目的捕食性入侵鱼类可能会消耗具有管理价值的物种,并改变食物网。蓝鲶鱼Ictalurus furcatus是一种体型庞大、耐盐的物种,具有广泛的饮食广度,捕食既有保护意义又有渔业管理意义的物种。为了更好地了解建立蓝鲶鱼渔场的生态后果,需要对掠夺性影响进行估计。方法使用蒙特卡罗模拟,我们综合了丰度估计、饮食信息和消耗量与生物量的比率,以估计美国大西洋中部海岸切萨皮克湾一条大型支流詹姆斯河对蓝猫鱼的种群水平捕食。结果蓝鲶鱼对几个感兴趣的物种或分类群的种群水平年捕食量估计超过100公吨,包括估计的400.7公吨(95%置信区间 = 272.6–613.2)。猎物物种的丰度是未知的,因此评估猎物种群反应的机会有限。例如,如果没有对蓝蟹丰度的特定支流估计,蓝鲶鱼对蓝蟹种群的影响仍然未知,但与登陆数据的比较表明,与收获相比,詹姆斯河蓝鲶鱼对蓝蟹的捕食可能较低。结论蓝鲶鱼捕食效应的估计可以为平衡不同利益相关者利益的管理目标的制定提供信息。这项工作为评估蓝鲶鱼渔业的权衡及其对沿海水生资源的影响提供了有益的信息。

Data-limited fishery assessment methods shed light on the exploitation history and population dynamics of Endangered Species Act-listed Yelloweye Rockfish in Puget Sound, Washington 数据有限的渔业评估方法揭示了华盛顿普吉特湾列入《濒危物种法》的黄颡鱼的开发历史和种群动态

Objective

The distinct population segment (DPS) of Yelloweye Rockfish Sebastes ruberrimus inhabiting the Puget Sound/Georgia Basin was listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 2010, and a formal recovery plan for the DPS was published by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries in 2017. In this recovery plan, the biological criteria for delisting or downlisting were specified as certain levels of spawning potential ratio (SPR), a commonly used metric of equilibrium stock status for commercially exploited fishes. Although this metric can be estimated from length compositions, the combination of length data with a catch history (which was not previously available for this DPS) improves our understanding of population dynamics over time and allows us to estimate a different measure of stock status, relative (to unfished) spawning stock biomass (SSB), rather than only SPR.

Methods

To estimate relative SSB and reconstruct the historical dynamics of this DPS, we reconstructed the catch history from fisheries records, collated length data from historical and contemporary hook-and-line surveys, and fitted a data-limited version of a statistical catch-at-age model.

Result

Despite a high level of uncertainty, we estimated that Yelloweye Rockfish in Puget Sound are above 25% of unfished biomass (a reference point detailed in the recovery criteria) under the assumption of deterministic recruitment, presenting the first direct estimates of Yelloweye Rockfish population status in Puget Sound.

Conclusion

However, as informed by recent genetic studies, the DPS boundaries of ESA-listed Yelloweye Rockfish extend from South Puget Sound to Queen Charlotte Strait in British Columbia. The Canadian portion of this population is managed separately and is currently estimated to be at 32% of unfished biomass (95% quantiles = 15%–68%). Thus, the disjunction between the biological boundaries of the population and the jurisdictional boundaries between Canada and the United States presents an additional source of uncertainty in assessing recovery that must be addressed to achieve DPS-wide recovery goals.

目的2010年,美国国家海洋和大气管理局渔业局根据《濒危物种法》(ESA)对普吉特湾/乔治亚盆地黄颡鱼的不同种群分段(DPS)进行了登记,并于2017年发布了正式的DPS恢复计划。在该恢复计划中,除名或下线的生物学标准被指定为一定水平的产卵潜力比,这是商业开发鱼类平衡种群状况的常用指标。尽管这一指标可以根据长度组成进行估计,但长度数据与捕捞历史的结合(这在以前是不可用于该DPS的)提高了我们对种群动态的理解,并使我们能够估计种群状态的不同衡量标准,相对于(相对于未捕捞的)产卵种群生物量(SSB),方法为了估计相对SSB并重建该DPS的历史动态,我们从渔业记录中重建了捕获历史,整理了历史和当代钩线调查的长度数据,并拟合了年龄捕获量统计模型的数据有限版本。结果尽管存在高度的不确定性,但我们估计,在确定性补充的假设下,普吉特湾的Yelloweye Rockfish超过了未捕捞生物量的25%(回收标准中详细说明的参考点),首次直接估计了普吉特湾的Yelloweye Rockfish种群状况。结论然而,根据最近的基因研究,欧空局列出的Yelloweye Rockfish的DPS边界从南普吉特湾延伸到不列颠哥伦比亚省的夏洛特女王海峡。加拿大部分人口是单独管理的,目前估计为未砍伐生物量的32%(95%分位数 = 15%–68%)。因此,人口的生物边界与加拿大和美国之间的管辖边界之间的脱节,为评估复苏带来了额外的不确定性,必须解决这一问题,以实现DPS范围内的复苏目标。

Objective

This paper applies a catch multiple survey analysis (CMSA) to Atlantic horseshoe crabs Limulus polyphemus in the Delaware Bay to generate robust population estimates for harvest management. Currently, horseshoe crabs along the U.S. Atlantic coast are harvested as bait for other fisheries and collected for their blood, which is used in a biomedical industry. The Delaware Bay is home to the largest population of horseshoe crabs and is a significant stopover for shorebirds to rebuild energy by consuming horseshoe crab eggs prior to completing their northward migration. To address this interrelationship, the Adaptive Resource Management (ARM) Framework has been used since 2013 to ensure that horseshoe crab harvest within the region takes into account the forage needs of migratory birds. Since its inception, the ARM Framework has used a single trawl survey's swept area-based population estimates of horseshoe crab relative abundance and a theoretical population model developed primarily from literature-derived values. With more data collected in the region in recent years and other sources of mortality that can now be quantified, a catch survey model can provide horseshoe crab population estimates going forward.

Methods

A CMSA was used to estimate male and female horseshoe crab population size for 2003–2021 using all quantifiable sources of mortality and three fishery-independent indices of abundance.

Result

The CMSA results indicated that adult abundance of male and female horseshoe crabs was stable from 2003 to 2013 and then began to increase through 2017, a result that is consistent with stock rebuilding following a period of harvest restrictions as recommended by the ARM Framework. Population estimates were lower in recent years but remained above the levels estimated before implementation of the ARM Framework. In 2021, the CMSA estimated that there were over 6 million mature females and nearly 16 million mature male horseshoe crabs in the region.

Conclusion

The CMSA provides the best and most comprehensive population estimates of horseshoe crabs in Delaware Bay and will improve modeling efforts within the ARM Framework going forward.

目的对特拉华湾的大西洋鲎鲎进行捕获量多重调查分析,为捕捞管理提供可靠的种群估计。目前,美国大西洋沿岸的鲎被用作其他渔业的诱饵,并被采集用于生物医学行业的血液。特拉华湾是鲎种群最多的地方,也是海鸟在完成向北迁徙之前通过消耗鲎卵来重建能量的重要中转站。为了解决这种相互关系,自2013年以来一直使用适应性资源管理框架,以确保该地区的鲎捕捞考虑到候鸟的饲料需求。自成立以来,ARM框架一直使用单拖网调查的基于区域的鲎相对丰度的种群估计,以及主要根据文献推导的值开发的理论种群模型。随着近年来在该地区收集到更多的数据,以及现在可以量化的其他死亡来源,捕捞量调查模型可以提供鲎种群的估计。方法使用CMSA,使用所有可量化的死亡率来源和三个与渔业无关的丰度指数,估计2003-2021年鲎的雄性和雌性种群规模。结果CMSA结果表明,从2003年到2013年,雄性和雌性鲎的成虫丰度稳定,然后在2017年开始增加,这一结果与ARM框架建议的一段时间的收获限制后的种群重建一致。近年来,人口估计数有所下降,但仍高于《ARM框架》实施前的估计水平。2021年,CMSA估计该地区有600多万只成熟雌性鲎和近1600万只成熟雄性鲎。结论CMSA提供了特拉华湾鲎种群的最佳和最全面的估计,并将改进ARM框架下的建模工作。

Currently, horseshoe crabs along the U.S. Atlantic coast are harvested as bait for other fisheries and collected for their blood, which is used in a biomedical industry. The Delaware Bay is home to the largest population of horseshoe crabs and is a significant stopover for shorebirds to rebuild energy by consuming horseshoe crab eggs prior to completing their northward migration. To address this interrelationship, the Adaptive Resource Management (ARM) Framework has been used since 2013 to ensure that horseshoe crab harvest within the region takes into account the forage needs of migratory birds. Since its inception, the ARM Framework has used a single trawl survey's swept area-based population estimates of horseshoe crab relative abundance and a theoretical population model developed primarily from literature-derived values. With more data collected in the region in recent years and other sources of mortality that can now be quantified, a catch survey model can provide horseshoe crab population estimates going forward.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>A CMSA was used to estimate male and female horseshoe crab population size for 2003–2021 using all quantifiable sources of mortality and three fishery-independent indices of abundance.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Result</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The CMSA results indicated that adult abundance of male and female horseshoe crabs was stable from 2003 to 2013 and then began to increase through 2017, a result that is consistent with stock rebuilding following a period of harvest restrictions as recommended by the ARM Framework.

Objective

Since 2010, three spatially disjunct reef fish video surveys have provided fishery-independent data critical to the assessment and management of reef fishes in the Gulf of Mexico. Although analytical approaches have recently been developed to integrate data from these surveys into a single measure of relative abundance and size composition, a more parsimonious approach would be to integrate survey efforts under a single Gulf-wide survey design. Accordingly, we conducted a retrospective analysis of historical video- and habitat-mapping data to develop a novel stratified random sampling design for conducting surveys of natural and artificial reef habitats.

Methods

We conducted a series of classification and regression tree analyses to delineate both spatial and habitat strata, and conducted simulations to assess the performance of an optimized survey design.

Result

Spatially, classification and regression tree results identified three depth strata (10–25 m, >25–50 m, >50–180 m) and three regional strata (north-central Gulf, Big Bend, southwest Florida) in the eastern Gulf. For both natural and artificial reefs, habitat strata were delineated based on a combination of relative relief (low, medium, high) and size of the individual reef feature, although reef scale differed markedly between natural (<100 m2, 100–1000 m2, >1000 m2) and artificial habitats (<25 m2, 25–100 m2, >100 m2). To optimize effort among sampling strata, effort was allocated proportionally based on a combination of habitat availability and managed-species richness for each stratum. Simulation results indicated that relative median biases were <10% and relative median absolute deviations <30% on estimates of abundance for most species examined on natural reefs under the optimal design, except Greater Amberjack Seriola dumerili. These measures of bias and imprecision were similar or higher for most species simulated using simple random and stratified random survey designs. Estimated relative median bias and relative median absolute deviations were notably higher for artificial reef surveys.

Conclusion

Based on these results, survey efforts were integrated as the Gulf Fishery Independent Survey of Habitat and Ecosystem Resources (G-FISHER) in 2020.

自2010年以来,三次空间不相交的暗礁鱼类视频调查为墨西哥湾暗礁鱼类的评估和管理提供了重要的渔业独立数据。虽然最近已发展出分析方法,将这些调查的数据整合为相对丰度和大小组成的单一衡量标准,但更节省的方法是将调查工作整合到单一的海湾范围的调查设计下。因此,我们对历史视频和栖息地测绘数据进行了回顾性分析,以开发一种新的分层随机抽样设计,用于进行自然和人工珊瑚礁栖息地的调查。方法通过分类和回归树分析,划分空间和生境层,并进行模拟,评估优化后的调查设计效果。结果在空间上,分类和回归树结果识别出3个深度层(10-25 m、25-50 m、50-180 m)和3个区域层(Gulf中北部、Big Bend、Florida西南部)。对于天然和人工鱼礁,栖息地地层的划分是基于相对起伏度(低、中、高)和单个鱼礁特征大小的组合,尽管天然(100 m2、100 - 1000 m2、1000 m2)和人工(25 m2、25 - 100 m2、100 m2)的鱼礁尺度存在显著差异。为了优化各采样层间的努力,努力是基于生境可利用性和管理物种丰富度的组合按比例分配的。模拟结果表明,在优化设计下,除大琥珀黄(Greater Amberjack Seriola dumerili)外,大多数天然珊瑚礁物种的丰度估计相对中值偏差为10%,相对中值绝对偏差为30%。使用简单随机和分层随机调查设计模拟的大多数物种的这些偏差和不精确程度相似或更高。人工礁调查的估计相对中位偏差和相对中位绝对偏差明显更高。在此基础上,将调查工作整合为2020年海湾渔业生境和生态系统资源独立调查(G-FISHER)。

Objective

Ocean planning provides opportunities for managers to evaluate tradeoffs among environmental, social, economic, cultural, and management considerations in the development of place-based activities. Early integration of mobile protected species considerations into ocean planning reduces the likelihood of future resource conflict. Transparency and problem solving with potential conflicts in mind during the early planning stages can help to minimize contention and increase efficiency in permitting and may also minimize litigation challenges during project design and implementation. Starting with a large area, such as the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's (BOEM) initial 12.1-million-ha call area in federal waters of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, provided substantial geographic scope for identifying suitable areas for eventual offshore wind lease sales that also aim to minimize conflict across multiple resources and uses.

Methods

To support ocean planning for this large-scale activity, a generalized scoring system for protected species status and trends that facilitates relative comparison between species was developed. Spatial data for species listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act or the Marine Mammal Protection Act were assembled. Species layers were scored based on species status and trend. The cumulative vulnerability for 23 species groups whose distributions overlap suitable areas proposed for eventual lease sales, termed wind energy areas (WEAs) by BOEM, was calculated.

Result

Integrating this combined protected species data layer into the broader Gulf of Mexico WEA ocean planning process helped to reduce potential protected species conflicts by 70%.

Conclusion

This generalized approach is directly applicable to other WEAs under consideration within the United States and is transferable to a variety of ocean spatial planning applications.

海洋规划为管理者提供了评估环境、社会、经济、文化和管理因素之间权衡的机会。及早将流动受保护物种的考虑纳入海洋规划,可减少未来发生资源冲突的可能性。在早期规划阶段,考虑到潜在冲突的透明度和问题解决方案,有助于减少争议,提高许可的效率,也可以减少项目设计和实施期间的诉讼挑战。从大面积开始,例如海洋能源管理局(BOEM)最初在美国墨西哥湾联邦水域的1210万公顷的呼叫区域,为确定最终海上风电租赁销售的合适区域提供了大量的地理范围,也旨在最大限度地减少多种资源和用途之间的冲突。方法为支持该大型活动的海洋规划,建立了一个用于物种间相对比较的保护物种状况和趋势的通用评分系统。根据美国《濒危物种法》或《海洋哺乳动物保护法》所列物种的空间数据进行了汇总。根据物种状态和趋势对物种层进行评分。计算了23个物种群的累积脆弱性,这些物种群的分布重叠在BOEM提出的最终租赁销售的合适区域,称为风能区(WEAs)。将这一综合保护物种数据层整合到更广泛的墨西哥湾WEA海洋规划过程中,有助于将潜在的受保护物种冲突减少70%。结论该方法可直接适用于美国国内其他正在考虑的WEAs,并可转移到各种海洋空间规划应用中。

Offshore wind development (OWD) is set to expand rapidly in the United States as a component of the nation's effort to combat climate change. Offshore wind development in the United States is slated to begin in the Greater Atlantic region, where it is expected to interact with ocean ecology, human dimensions, fisheries data collections, and fisheries management. Understanding these interactions is key to ensuring the coexistence of offshore wind energy with sustainable fisheries and a healthy marine ecosystem. These anticipated interactions compelled the authors, all fisheries scientists or managers at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries who are actively engaged in offshore wind science to identify scientific research priorities for OWD in the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf ecosystem, specifically in support of NOAA Fisheries' role as the nation's leading steward of marine life. We extracted and analyzed OWD research needs from existing scientific documents and used this information as the basis to develop a list of priorities that align with five major OWD science themes that are of high interest to NOAA Fisheries. These NOAA Fisheries themes include supporting the regulatory process; mitigating the impacts to NOAA Fisheries' surveys; advancing science to understand interactions with NOAA Fisheries trust resources, the marine ecosystem, and fishing industries/communities; advancing the science of mitigation for NOAA Fisheries trust resources and fishing industries/communities; and advancing data management methods. The areas identified as research priorities will support the coexistence of offshore wind and sustainable fisheries and inform the development of NOAA Fisheries' science plan for offshore wind in the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf ecosystem as well as cross-sectoral science planning efforts at the regional, national, and international levels.

In a rapidly changing environment where fires are becoming more frequent and severe, scientists and managers need information and tools to enhance understanding of the numerous ways in which fire can affect fisheries. We used Ostrom's social–ecological systems framework to structure the development and refinement of fuzzy cognitive maps with stakeholders across the Kenai River fishery in Alaska, USA. The process yielded a model characterizing the structure and function of the Kenai River fishery. The model was then used to guide interviews with stakeholders focused on the effects of the 2019 Swan Lake Fire. We identified seven direct pathways through which fire can affect the social and ecological components of a coastal fishery. We also used the model to guide a targeted literature review to further explore how fire can affect the components of the Kenai River fishery. This synthesis of information allowed us to develop a more complete understanding of the impacts of fire on the fishery—an understanding informed by input from local stakeholders (via our interviews) and relevant scientific and management literature (via our literature review). Lastly, we used the model to assess the fishery's vulnerability to fire. We discuss how early run Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha constitute a highly vulnerable component of the system and have the greatest potential to impact the fishery as a whole through a chain of negative social and ecological interactions. This final step illustrates how the model can be used to assess the vulnerability of system components to specific threats. The model of the Kenai River fishery provides an empirically grounded and easily understood visual representation of the complex dynamics affecting coastal fisheries. As such, it can be used to structure discussions among managers and stakeholders, organize our understanding of how fire affects fisheries, and assess vulnerabilities to endogenous and exogenous stressors.

在快速变化的环境中,火灾变得更加频繁和严重,科学家和管理人员需要信息和工具来加强对火灾影响渔业的多种方式的理解。我们使用奥斯特罗姆的社会生态系统框架来构建模糊认知地图的开发和改进,涉及美国阿拉斯加基奈河渔业的利益相关者。这个过程产生了一个描述基奈河渔业结构和功能的模型。然后,该模型被用于指导对利益相关者的采访,重点关注2019年天鹅湖大火的影响。我们确定了七个直接途径,通过这些途径,火灾可以影响沿海渔业的社会和生态成分。我们还使用该模型来指导有针对性的文献综述,以进一步探讨火灾如何影响基奈河渔业的组成部分。这些信息的综合使我们对火灾对渔业的影响有了更全面的了解,这种了解是通过当地利益相关者(通过我们的访谈)和相关科学和管理文献(通过我们的文献综述)提供的。最后,我们利用该模型对渔业的火灾脆弱性进行了评估。我们讨论了早期的奇努克鲑鱼Oncorhynchus tshawytscha如何构成该系统中非常脆弱的组成部分,并通过一系列负面的社会和生态相互作用对整个渔业产生最大的影响。最后一步说明了如何使用模型来评估系统组件对特定威胁的脆弱性。基奈河渔业模型为影响沿海渔业的复杂动态提供了经验基础和易于理解的可视化表示。因此,它可以用来组织管理者和利益相关者之间的讨论,组织我们对火灾如何影响渔业的理解,并评估对内源性和外源性压力源的脆弱性。

Otolith chemistry is a useful natural tracer for discerning habitat-use of estuarine fishes. For Southern Flounder Paralichthys lethostigma, recent otolith chemistry studies have revealed a diversity of residency patterns across salinity gradients. However, the contribution of recruits with specific residency patterns to fisheries is poorly understood. The objectives of this study were to (1) use otolith chemistry from fishery-independent and fishery-dependent collections in Mobile Bay, Alabama, to classify lifetime residency patterns (i.e., freshwater, transient, estuarine) in Southern Flounder collected across a large estuarine salinity gradient (0–30 psu); (2) to test if Southern Flounder exhibited resident or migratory behavior by determining if lifetime residency patterns in fishery-independent samples matched expected salinity patterns in the region of collection after accounting for annual variation in river discharge; and (3) to examine which residency patterns contributed to the commercial and recreational Southern Flounder fisheries in nearby coastal waters. Age-0 residency patterns in fishery-independent samples were strongly correlated with region of collection and annual river discharge, suggesting that the majority of Southern Flounder had resided in the same region in which they spent their age-0 growth phase. Southern Flounder with a combination of freshwater and estuarine salinity signals and classified as “transient” did not appear to have conducted large-scale movements across salinity gradients, but instead resided in regions of the estuary experiencing seasonal fluctuations in salinity. The majority (57%) of commercially and recreationally harvested Southern Flounder were transients, while a minority (39%) were estuarine residents and lifetime freshwater residents (4%) were rarely harvested. Results from this study suggest that Southern Flounder settle in and remain in the certain habitats during the estuarine residency phase. Given the lack of movement across habitats, future efforts to understand how habitat-specific conditions (e.g., abiotic, biotic, fishing exploitation) affect vital rates seems warranted for a species currently experiencing population declines.

耳石化学是一种有用的天然示踪剂,用于识别河口鱼类的栖息地用途。对于南牙鲆,最近的耳石化学研究揭示了不同盐度梯度的居住模式的多样性。然而,人们对具有特定居住模式的新兵对渔业的贡献知之甚少。本研究的目的是:(1)使用阿拉巴马州莫比尔湾渔业独立和渔业依赖采集的耳石化学,对在大河口盐度梯度(0-30psu)上采集的南佛罗里达州的终生居住模式(即淡水、瞬态、河口)进行分类;(2) 在考虑河流流量的年度变化后,通过确定渔业独立样本的终生居住模式是否与采集区域的预期盐度模式相匹配,来测试南部河豚是否表现出定居或迁徙行为;以及(3)研究哪些居住模式有助于附近沿海水域的商业和娱乐性南佛罗里达渔业。渔业独立样本中的0岁居住模式与采集区域和年度河流流量密切相关,这表明大多数南部浮游动物居住在他们度过0岁生长期的同一区域。具有淡水和河口盐度信号组合并被归类为“瞬态”的南部浮游动物似乎没有在盐度梯度上进行大规模运动,而是居住在经历盐度季节性波动的河口区域。大多数(57%)商业和娱乐性捕捞的南部浮潜是短暂的,而少数(39%)是河口居民,终身淡水居民(4%)很少被捕捞。这项研究的结果表明,在河口居住阶段,南部河豚会定居并留在特定的栖息地。鉴于栖息地之间缺乏流动,对于目前正在经历种群减少的物种来说,未来有必要了解栖息地特定条件(如非生物、生物、渔业开发)如何影响生命率。
