Growth patterns
• Great Plasticity in growth• Size at age: High variability
– Between species– Between populations– Between individuals
![Page 9: Age and Growth Growth & age patterns Measurement techniques](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/56649ceb5503460f949b6ff7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Environmental factors influencing growth
• Temperature• Food and Nutrient Availability• Light Regime• Oxygen Concentration• Salinity• Pollutants• Predator Densities• Intraspecific Social Interactions• Genetics

2 cohorts each produce 10,000,000 eggs
90.5% survivorship/day yields 24,787 survivors at 60 days
95.1% survivorship/day yields 497,871 survivors at 60 days

Recruitment• Can mean many things!
– Number of young-of-year (YOY) fish entering population in a year
– Number of fish achieving age/size at which they are vulnerable to fishing gear
• Somewhat arbitrary, varies among populations
• Major goal of fish population dynamics: understanding the relationship between stock size and recruitment
![Page 38: Age and Growth Growth & age patterns Measurement techniques](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/56649ceb5503460f949b6ff7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What determines recruitment?-Stock size (number and size of females)
![Page 39: Age and Growth Growth & age patterns Measurement techniques](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/56649ceb5503460f949b6ff7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

The problem?
• Stochasticity = variable recruitment!
![Page 43: Age and Growth Growth & age patterns Measurement techniques](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/56649ceb5503460f949b6ff7/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Highly variable recruitment results in naturally very variable catches

Population Abundance • On rare occasions, abundance can be measured
directly– Small enclosed systems– Migration
![Page 46: Age and Growth Growth & age patterns Measurement techniques](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/56649ceb5503460f949b6ff7/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Catch per unit effort (CPUE)• Very coarse and very common
index of abundance
Effort= 4 nets for 12 hours each= 48 net hours
Catch= 4 fish
CPUE=4/48=0.083
Effort= 4 nets for 12 hours each= 48 net hours
Catch=8 fish
CPUE=8/48=0.167
We conclude population 2 is 2X larger than population 1

Estimates of Population Size
• Proportional sampling• Rp = size of the range of the population
(Rp), (uniform distribution) • Rs = size of sampling a region• Ns/Np = Rs/Rp. • Np = (Ns Rp)/Rs = Population
Abundance
No Accuracy Estimate
![Page 48: Age and Growth Growth & age patterns Measurement techniques](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/56649ceb5503460f949b6ff7/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Population abundance
• Density estimates (#/area)– Eggs estimated with quadrats– Pelagic larvae sampled with modified
plankton nets– Juvenile and adult fish with nets, traps,
hook and line, or electrofishing
• Density is then used as index of abundance, or multiplied by habitat area to get abundance estimate

Modified Petersen method
• Assumptions:– Closed population– Equal catchability in first sample– Marking does NOT influence catchability
• Marked and unmarked fish mix randomly• Mortality rates are equal
– Marks are not lost
![Page 54: Age and Growth Growth & age patterns Measurement techniques](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/56649ceb5503460f949b6ff7/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Schnabel method
• Closed population• Equal catchabilty in first sample• Marking does NOT influence
catchability• Multiple recaptures
– Easier to pick up on violation of assumptions
