This book was released on 1999 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recruitment estimates for Pacific herring, Clupea pallasi, populations in the Bering Sea and Northeast Pacific Ocean are highly variable, difficult to forecast, and crucial for determining optimum harvest levels. Age-structured population models for annual stock assessments of the sac-roe fisheries rely on fishery and survey age composition data tuned to an auxiliary survey of total biomass. In Chapter 1, the first age-structured model for Norton Sound herring was developed similarly to existing models. Estimates of variability from age-structured stock assessment models for Pacific herring are often not calculated. In Chapter 2, a parametric bootstrap procedure using a fit of the Dirichlet distribution to observed age composition data was developed as a quick and easy method for computing error estimates of model estimates. This bootstrap technique was able to capture variability beyond that of the multinomial distribution. This technique can provide estimates of variability for existing population models with age composition data requiring little change to the original model structure. Recruitment time series from Pacific herring stock assessment models for 14 populations in the Bering Sea and Northeast Pacific Ocean were analyzed for links to the environment. For some populations, recruitment series were extended backward in time using cohort analysis. In chapter 3, correlation and multivariate cluster analyses were applied to determine herring population associations. There appear to be four major herring groups: Bering Sea, outer Gulf of Alaska, coastal Southeast Alaska, and British Columbia. These associations were combined with an exploratory correlation analysis of environmental data in chapter 4. Appropriate time periods for environmental variables were determined for use in Ricker type environmentally dependent spawner-recruit forecasting models. Global and local scale environmental variables were examined in forecasting models, resulting in improvements in recruitment forecasts compared to models without environmental data. The exploratory correlation analysis and best fit models, determined by jacknife error prediction, indicated temperature data corresponding to the year of spawning resulted in the best forecasting models. The Norton Sound age-structured model, parametric bootstrap procedure, and recruitment forecasting models serve as enhancements to the decision process of managing Pacific herring fisheries.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fluctuating forage fish populations trigger large ecosystem responses in the North Pacific. A representative species, Pacific herring, Clupea pallasi, was chosen to model environmental effects on population fluctuations and recruitment with a case example in Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska. A unique approach was used to 1) develop a spatially-explicit, life history-based conceptual stock model, 2) quantify population level effects of climatic trends, and 3) model key environmental factors affecting recruitment. Framed as a simulation model, the stock model was compartmentalized by life-history stages based on shared habitats and environmental forcing. Initial model conditions impacting year-class formation were adult size-at-age, spawn timing, location and spawner density, and conditions during egg incubation, all impacting a two-stage larval mortality rate. Larval survival probably dictates the extremes in year-class strength. Age-1 abundance should reflect recruitment levels 2-3 yrs later, unless a predator pit exists. A metapopulation structure was proposed with at least two local population groupings with spatial complexity required to maintain stock levels. Herring abundance correlated with long-term climate trends supporting hypotheses of bottom up environmental forcing. Adult growth was oscillatory over a 13 yr period in phase with zooplankton production and climatic trends. Spawn timing occurred progressively earlier over the last 30 yr period with a concurrent regional spawn allocation shift and decrease in recruits per spawner. Incorporating local stock structure and local environmental variables into nonlinear herring recruitment models improved explanatory power over traditional models. Best-fit variables were eastern PWS SST, salinity, SST variance, and salinity variance from spring to fall. Eight critical life stage periods were defined based on the season and lag of the best-fitting varibles. Examining other variables in these critical periods led to defining potential key processes affecting year class formation. Allocation of spawn and age-3 recruits to metapopulation regions also impacted recruitment to PWS as a whole and these results supported the metapopulation theory. The results led to formulation of a new theory, entitled 'opposing response', explaining the mechanism producing the observed pattern of alternating strong and week year class strengths in northern Pacific herring"--Leaves iii-iv.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Substantial research has been devoted to identify causes for decline the of Prince William Sound (PWS) Pacific herring in the early 1990's because of the proximity to the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS). A potential source for decline has been identified with the isolation of disease in the PWS population. There have been limited investigations of PWS Pacific herring population dynamics related to other stocks in the Gulf of Alaska. The objective of this thesis was to compare observations and age-structured assessment (ASA) model results between PWS and Sitka Sound Pacific herring. Data conflicts were evaluated in the PWS ASA model and indicate that hypotheses about natural mortality in the four years subsequent to EVOS depend on the type and weighting of population indices. In Sitka, the ASA model was used to show that time-dependent natural mortality can be estimated. Comparison between PWS and Sitka indicated that age structure and recruitment have been comparable, but abundance indices and weight-at-age data have not been similar after 1993. The differences identified in this thesis between PWS and Sitka imply uniqueness in natural mortality and condition within each Pacific herring population"--Leaf iii.
