    Why fishing magnifies fluctuations in fish abundance (2008)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-04-19
    Description: It is now clear that fished populations can fluctuate more than unharvested stocks. However, it is not clear why. Here we distinguish among three major competing mechanisms for this phenomenon, by using the 50-year California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) larval fish record. First, variable fishing pressure directly increases variability in exploited populations. Second, commercial fishing can decrease the average body size and age of a stock, causing the truncated population to track environmental fluctuations directly. Third, age-truncated or juvenescent populations have increasingly unstable population dynamics because of changing demographic parameters such as intrinsic growth rates. We find no evidence for the first hypothesis, limited evidence for the second and strong evidence for the third. Therefore, in California Current fisheries, increased temporal variability in the population does not arise from variable exploitation, nor does it reflect direct environmental tracking. More fundamentally, it arises from increased instability in dynamics. This finding has implications for resource management as an empirical example of how selective harvesting can alter the basic dynamics of exploited populations, and lead to unstable booms and busts that can precede systematic declines in stock levels.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Anderson, Christian N K -- Hsieh, Chih-hao -- Sandin, Stuart A -- Hewitt, Roger -- Hollowed, Anne -- Beddington, John -- May, Robert M -- Sugihara, George -- England -- Nature. 2008 Apr 17;452(7189):835-9. doi: 10.1038/nature06851.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18421346" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: [Auszug] Biological control of insect pests is characterised by a persistent, strong reduction in the pest population following the introduction of a natural enemy. Analysis of mathematical models suggests that differential exploitation of patches of the pest in a spatially heterogeneous environment ...

    Long-term changes in strontium-90 concentrations within a freshwater predator-prey system (1989)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Journal of fish biology 35 (1989), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1095-8649
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: It proved possible to determine the levels of Sr-90 in the opercular bones of individual pike, Esox Iucius, and in pooled samples of bones from perch, Perca fluviatilis. Results from both species from Windermere demonstrated that Sr-90 levels rose from below the detection limits in the 1940s to a peak in the 1960s, followed by a decline in the subsequent two decades. This decline was slower than would have been expected from the decline in northern hemisphere Sr-90 fallout, indicating the likelihood of recycling within the environment. Sr-90 levels were consistently lower in pike than in perch, their main prey fish. Thus, there is no concentration of Sr-90 up this part of the aquatic food chain. Tracking Sr-90 in bones taken in successive years from ages 3 to 8 for a single cohort of pike showed that the quantity of Sr-90 was closely related to opercular bone (and hence fish) weight. No significant increase in Sr-90 concentration in the bone with increasing age was demonstrated.

    Notes: [Auszug] In this paper, we illustrate the dynamics of a predator-prey model for populations with non-overlapping generations and show that the model yields patterns of behaviour closely analogous to those observed in the-first-order (single-species) situation. These may be compared with results on the type ...
