Citizen science projects can help answer important research questions with the help of members of the public. Do you have an idea for a citizen science project you think would answer questions about South Atlantic fisheries? Submit your idea through the Citizen Science Program’s Project Idea Portal! Ideas submitted through the portal help the Program identify research priorities that guide future project development. Your idea could lead to the next citizen science project that provides insight into South Atlantic fisheries. Submit your idea here: https://lnkd.in/e4Wa7XAZ #SAFMCcitsci #CitizenScience #CitSciFri

The Journal of FisheriesSciences.com is a leading publication in the field of fisheries research 🐟📚. It covers topics such as aquaculture, marine biology, and fish conservation. #FisheriesResearch #JournalPublication #MarineScience

Participating in the international workshop on fisheries management and ecology was an enriching experience. The exchange of knowledge among experts from diverse backgrounds encouraged a deeper understanding of sustainable practices and innovative approaches in fisheries management. The workshop provided valuable insights into emerging trends and following challenges. @Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) #workshop #fisheriesmanagement #ecology

Great new paper on surplus production models for fisheries stock assessments. surplus production models are basically the foundation of bio-economic models in fisheries except many economists haven't kept up with the biological literature. This paper provides a nice overview and guide for the current state of the art in suplus production models, with hints on when to use them, when not to use them, their strengths and weaknesses and how to estimate them properly. This should be of interest to fisheries scientists, fisheries managers, fisheries economists and anyone else who wants to know what these people do for a living. https://lnkd.in/dQDZGesp #fisheriesscience #fisheriesmanagement #fisherieseconomics #surplusproductionmodels #differentialequations #populationbiology

Interdisciplinary Seminar Presentation at BSMRAU Attended an insightful seminar presentation where a professor from the Soil Science department presented their research. The presentation was critically reviewed by a Fisheries professor, while the session was chaired by an Environmental Science professor. A great example of how cross disciplinary collaboration enriches research outcomes! #Research #Seminar_Presentation #BSMRAU #Interdisciplinary #SoilScience #Fisheries #EnvironmentalScience

What does the future hold for recreational angling in the Nordic countries according to researchers, practitioners and industry experts?🎣 We used a Delphi study with 93 angling experts from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden to find out!🔍 Read about the experts' views on drivers of angling participation (https://doi-org/10.1111/fme.12735, led by Stian Stensland) and expected trends in angler behavior (https://lnkd.in/dQjjpWHB, led by yours truly) in two articles published in Fisheries Management and Ecology's Special Issue on Recreational Fisheries.

National studies emphasise their contributions to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), but we don’t often get the full picture. To improve the management of octopus fisheries in the Pacific, we need to increase knowledge about the stock status of octopuses in the Pacific. And we need data: ▶️ length, ▶️ weight, ▶️ maturity status ▶️ age 👇This neatly detailed and illustrated article outlines protocols to gather data and to build our understanding of octopus biology, ecology and identification. So you can get involved too if you are interested in this area!

The key objective of ITUNNES is to develop the best available scientific advice on tropical tuna biology to reduce single species and ecosystem models’ uncertainties and foster the implementation of effective management measures for tropical tunas at tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (t-RFMOs)

Ambitious plans for the future of freshwater pearl mussels are now underway in the Cairngorms National Park 🌿   Working closely with the Spey Fisheries Board and the Spey Catchment Partnership, we’re developing strategies which will first focus on safeguarding the existing populations, and then on population reinforcement. The work will include plans to move threatened populations under licence, to catchment areas with better habitat. Using innovative techniques such as eDNA monitoring, we hope to identify remnant populations and pinpoint where action is needed 🔍 Long term plans include the possibility of captive rearing which could be a suitable step towards reinforcing the mussel population on the River Dee, which has seen a severe decline following the devastating impacts of Storm Frank.
