Reply to Sugihara et al: The biology of variability in fish populations
Sugihara et al. (1) ask, “Are exploited fish populations stable?” and conclude that they are not. We concur. However, we do not concur that Shelton and Mangel (2) “conclude that fish populations are stable. . .” or that “higher stock variability observed in exploited species results from heightened effects of stochastic forcing in the supposed absence of nonlinear dynamics” (1). We (2) started ...
متن کاملDifferences in the Metabolic Rates of Exploited and Unexploited Fish Populations: A Signature of Recreational Fisheries Induced Evolution?
Non-random mortality associated with commercial and recreational fisheries have the potential to cause evolutionary changes in fish populations. Inland recreational fisheries offer unique opportunities for the study of fisheries induced evolution due to the ability to replicate study systems, limited gene flow among populations, and the existence of unexploited reference populations. Experiment...
متن کاملVariations in fish body and scale shape among Aphanius dispar (Cyprinodontidae) populations: insights from a geometric morphometric analysis
Phenotypic variations in fish body and scale shape were investigated among the three populations of Aphanius dispar (Rüppell, 1829)in Southern Iran through the use of landmark-based geometric morphometric analyses. This species is widely distributed in the region, and therefore, considerable morphological variations exist among the geographically allopatric populations. Based on the Principle C...
متن کاملLong Range Dependence and the dynamics of Exploited fish populations
Long range dependence or long memory is a feature of many processes in the natural world, which provides important insights on the underlying mechanisms that generate the observed data. The usual tools available to characterize the phenomenon are mostly based on second order correlations. However, the long memory effects may not be evident at the level of second order correlations and may requi...
متن کاملSelection due to nonretention mortality in gillnet fisheries for salmon
Fisheries often exert selective pressures through elevated mortality on a nonrandom component of exploited stocks. Selective removal of individuals will alter the composition of a given population, with potential consequences for its size structure, stability and evolution. Gillnets are known to harvest fish according to size. It is not known, however, whether delayed mortality due to disentang...
