6. A generalised model for evaluating yield and the long term status of fish stocks under conditions of uncertainty

   Abstract:  This paper presents a flexible structure for a general yield model, which provides ... fishing on the estimates of yield per recruit. Also, it can be used to evaluate the performance of a stock ... under a specified catch regime. The model uses an adaptive Runge-Kutta procedure to evaluate stock ... trajectories and catch rates over a simulation period. In particular, this procedure calculates catches over ...

9. Reduced bait loss and bycatch of seabirds in longlining by using a seabird scarer

   Abstract:  Although longlining is regarded as a highly conservation oriented method of fishing ... , bycatch of seabirds on longlines is a problem in certain seasons and areas. Birds feeding on the bait ... eventually give high mortalities considering the large amounts of hooks used. Both from a fishery and bird ... conservation point of view there is a strong incentive to solve this problem. This paper describes trials with ...
