Abstract:
Until recently arriving in the US I’ve primarily studied scallop fishing in the United Kingdom, and this seminar will touch on research from my career so far. One key topic I’ve studied is catch rates and catch efficiency of scallop dredges in the UK, with a strong focus on differences among fishing vessels. Catch efficiency is the fraction of target species caught from those available in the haul path. The driving motivation for much of this work was whether commercial vessels could be substituted for the traditional research vessel for future fishery-independent surveys in Wales. I will present a recent study that analyzed depletion data to estimate catch efficiency from a noisy experiment, using the Patch Model. Next, I will present results from a vessel comparison trial that had commercial vessels fishing alongside the research vessel. Lastly, I’ll briefly discuss other studies I have conducted analyses for, including research of crabs, coral reef fisheries, trawling impacts and shellfish aquaculture.
