Variation in length at age was simulated with platoons of different [fish] lengths within each year-class.... Determination of mean lengths at age is an important task in many fishery investigations. Such data are often used to characterize growth and can lead to models of growth with age or studies of density-independent and density-dependent effects of environmental conditions on population structure and dynamics. 3, record 1, English, - mean%20length%2Dat%2Dage

Year-class size of marine fish is thought to be determined during the first year of life, with density-dependent mortality occurring during the larval or juvenile stages. However, investigations of such dynamics are often limited by data availability. To test this paradigm for winter flounder... in [the bay], the abundances of 29 year classes moving through seven life stages were analyzed with a novel extension of key-factor analysis. 2, record 2, English, - year%2Dclass%20size

The identification of stock structure is a necessary step for the effective management of multistock fisheries. As stocks are reproductively isolated from other members of the population, disregard of individual stock dynamics may alter genetic diversity of a population if one or more stocks are lost due to overexploitation or other causes... The knowledge of individual stock dynamics allows managers to assess fish population stability and set sustainable harvest limits. Monitoring inidividual stock dynamics within a population provides the opportunity to assess differential survival and contribution to the fishery. Once stock structure is uncovered, patterns in stock contribution can be managed by setting up measures to enhance or sustain stocks when annual production is lower than desired. 2, record 4, English, - multistock%20fishery

Mortality is a key component to understanding population dynamics of fish species. Total mortality is often estimated from the sequential decline observed in cohorts of fish.... catch curve [methods are] used to analyze this decline... All catch curves have three regions of interest : an ascending left limb, a domed middle portion, and a descending right limb... The ascending left limb represents age-classes of fish that are not yet fully vulnerable to the gear used in fishery. Fish in these age-classes are said to have "not fully recruited to the fishery. "The catches of fish in these age-classes are not useful for estimating the total mortality rate. 4, record 6, English, - ascending%20left%20limb

Le membre gauche ascendant et le dôme de la courbe de capture représentent des classes d'âge incomplètement capturées par l'engin d'échantillonnage : c'est-à-dire capturées moins fréquemment, par rapport à leur abondance, que le sont les poissons plus âgés. Cela peut provenir du fait que les jeunes poissons sont davantage concentrés dans une autre partie de la masse d'eau que celle surtout pêchée, ou qu'ils sont moins enclins à mordre aux appâts ou à pénétrer dans les filets. Toutes choses étant égales, le taux de mortalité totale ira en augmentant pendant cette période de recrutement. Cependant, il est impossible de rien trouver de défini sur le taux réel de mortalité durant les années couvertes par le membre gauche et le dôme de la courbe, tout simplement parce que la population n'est pas échantillonnée au hasard [...] 1, record 6, French, - membre%20gauche%20ascendant
