Tracking the movement of fish: skipper's logbooks and marine knowledges in fisheries management
Experts in both the line-fisheries and fisheries science sectors specialise in tracking the movement of fish. The knowledge thus gained is integral to both fishing practice and fisheries research, yet the two have often been posited against each other on opposite sides of a spectrum. This …

Collaboration within the Puget Sound Marine and Nearshore Scientific Community
… mainly of individuals trained in natural sciences, with 60% of nodes reported to have training in ecology, 48% in biology, and 38% in fisheries science. Human dimensions disciplines with the greatest representation of training included policy analysis (12% of all nodes), sociology (4%) and …

Technological innovation and resource management in the fisheries of the British Isles, ca. 1400-1900
… study of interactions between fishermen, fisheries managers and fishery resources in British waters before the industrial age. In particular, it investigates those interactions during periods of technological innovation and intensified fishing activity in the period between 1400 and 1900, …

Tangled lines : Examining Western and Central Pacific Tuna Social-ecological Systems
… understood and governed. Contrary to traditional fisheries management frameworks, this thesis focusses on developing and testing an integrated transdisciplinary framework to examine SES networks. Western and Central Pacific (WCP) tuna fisheries are faced with complex and interlinked social and …

Assessing the effects of internal (trophic structure) and external (fishing and environment) forcing factors on fisheries off central Chile : basis for an ecosystem approach to management
Human perception of sea fisheries has evolved from an inexhaustible resource paradigm towards a generalized concern on the degraded state of fish stocks and ecosystems. Accordingly, fisheries science and management are expanding from the traditional single-species approach towards an ecosystem …

Analysis of Cisco (Coregonus artedi) Populations in Eastern Lake Ontario
… limiting population recovery in this region: fisheries-induced alterations to life-history traits, and fluctuations in year-class strength. In order to identify whether fisheries-induced change has occurred in this population, I compared the size-at-age and maturation of the ELO population …

ECOLOGY AND COEXISTENCE OF SCAPHIRHYNCHUS STURGEON AT MULTIPLE SCALES
… surrogate species approaches to conservation in fisheries science (Chapter 5). I suggested that sufficient data regarding life history, niche overlap, genetic similarity, and population vital rates collected at multiple spatial and temporal scales need to be available for surrogates and their …

Studies on the diversity and distribution of marine ichthyoparasites in Southern Africa
… Southern Africa as well as their use as tools in fisheries science. This thesis aims to explore the diversity of metazoan marine ichthyoparasites reported from Southern African waters and to examine their inter- and intraspecific distribution in marine fishes. A review of two centuries of …

Effects of Pre-Release Physical Stressors on Post-Release Success of Hatchery-Reared Spotted Seatrout
… and recreation can result in the depletion of fisheries resources such as the Spotted Seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus), the Gulf of Mexico’s most popular recreational fish. Stock enhancement, or the release of cultured fish to supplement wild populations, is one potential tool for managing …
