Define Fishery
Definition
a system consisting of man, fish and the environment
Term
1. Conserve resources
Definition
Goal of Fisheries Management
Term
2. Protection/ Restoration of endangered sp
Definition
Goal of Fisheries Management
Term
3. Attain Maximum sustainable yield or achieve a reference point
Definition
Goal of Fisheries Management
Term
Biological Reference Points (BRP):
Definition
Precautionary management strategy
Term
Red snapper Laws
Definition
Commercial size and catch limits, Bycatch reduction devices
Term
Holistic Methods use what data?
Definition
Catch and Effort Data, Research survey Data
Term
Fisheries Components
Definition
Man, Fish, Environment
Term
Russel (1931) simple population model
Definition
Si+1= Si + (A+G) – (C+M)
Term
A model is...
Definition
an abstract representation of how the system works
Term
the value of a model is in...
Definition
hypothesis testing
Term
A model can be:
Definition
Conceptual, Verbal, Static, Dynamic
Term
A mathematical model is most likely
Definition
Dynamic
Term
The structure of a model
Definition
Consists of at least one variable
that can be manipulated (eg fishing effort) or is believed
to influence at least 1 variable we are interested in (eg catch)
Term
Variables
Definition
something that can be defined and measured
Term
Parameters
Definition
dictate how variables interact; processes, must be estimated to fit model
Term
Example of a simple model
Definition
Y = a + bX
Term
Fit
Definition
difference between observed and predicted values
Term
Columns (excel)
Definition
Variables
Term
Rows (excel)
Definition
observations
Term
Exp function (excel)
Definition
base of natural log
Term
Ln (excel)
Definition
natural log
Term
sqrt (excel)
Definition
square root
Term
components of R
Definition
R base console, R studio, R commander
Term
Density
Definition
# of organisms per unit area or volume
Term
Abundance
Definition
Total # of organisms in the population of interest
Term
Sample of opportunity
Definition
biased, decision to sample where organisms are likely to occur or where they arent
Term
Probabilistic sample
Definition
each sample has the same likelihood of selection
Term
Statistical population
Definition
population defined by the totality of all possible values of a characteristic for a group
Term
Population
Definition
all elements under investigation
Term
sample
Definition
some of the elements under investigation
Term
sample statistics
Definition
estimators of population parameters
Term
population parameters
Definition
true population statistics
Term
systematic error or biased estimator
Definition
an estimator that gives sample statistics when averaged does not give a value close to the parametric value
Term
Precision
Definition
inversely related to amount of variation between individual estimates of the statistic
Term
Accuracy
Definition
inversely related to distance of the estimate of statistic to the actual value (parameter) being estimated
Term
Bias
Definition
Consistent pattern in inaccuracy
Term
1. Every member has equal chance of being sampled
Definition
Random Sample
Term
2. a probability based sample
Definition
Random Sample
Term
3. Generated by RNG
Definition
Random Sample
Term
sampling with replacement
Definition
each element of the population can be sampled more than once, 2 sample values are independent (Covarience between the two is 0)
Term
small populations use
Definition
sampling without replacement
Term
stratified random sampling
Definition
random sample collected from subdivision of population based on some criteria the we believe affects probability of capture. Strata are homogenous
Term
Cluster Sampling
Definition
subdivided into sample areas chosen randomly take all random samples from a single area, usually used due to logistical issues
Term
systematic sampling
Definition
decide on gap distance ( every 4th fish)
Term
3 most common sampling designs
Definition
Random, Stratified Random, and Systematic Sampling with random start
Term
Adaptive Sampling
Definition
rely on the results of sampling program to direct future sampling
Term
Factors affecting sampling design
Definition
Cost,methods used, experimental design, inherent variablity of data, size/ magnitude of difference you wish to detect, desired power of the test
Term
cost:
Definition
affected by effort and sampling method, type of information desired and method use to aquire
Term
Passive Gear
Definition
Gear does not move through the water, depend on animal behavior to catch them
Term
Passive gear types
Definition
Entangling (gillnet), entrapment (crab trap), Angling (long line)
Term
Active Gear types
Definition
trawls, plankton nets, sediment coring, harpoons
Term
Null Hypothesis:
Definition
hypothesis to be tested ( assumed true until evidence shows otherwise)
Term
Alternative hypothesis:
Definition
Statement that parameter differs from value or between populations, ( can never prove alternative only reject the null)
Term
Alpha/Type 1 error
Definition
reject null hypothesis when in fact it is true
Term
Beta/ Type 2 error
Definition
Accept null hypothesis when in fact it is false
Term
decreasing alpha...
Definition
decreases power
Term
Marks
Definition
anything used for recognition ( external, internal, part of body tissue)
ex. fin clip
Term
tags
Definition
contain specific ID information
ex. external tags, pit tags coded wire tags
Term
Telemetry
Definition
radio, acoustic, satellite. used for movement and migration studies
Term
Open population
Definition
movement into and out of the system
use Jolly Seber
Term
Closed Population
Definition
no movement into or out of the system
use lincoln peterson, schnabel method, schumacher and eschmeyer methods
Term
Lincoln Peterson
Definition
Population estimate (N): N= C*M/R
assume (N/M) = (C/R)
Term
Seber
Definition
Seber (AKA Chapman) is unbiased estimator if R is greater than 7. Sampling WITHOUT replacement. N=[(M+1)(C+1)/(R+1)]-1
Term
Bailey Method
Definition
unbiased if R is greater than 7. Sampling WITH replacement, N=M(C+1)/(R+1)
Term
