CONT

Methods for predicting mean weight-at-age for four haddock... stocks in the Northeast Atlantic were evaluated. Their performance in short-term forecasts of yield(catch in weight) was tested in a retrospective analysis conducted for a 12-year period... For each year, the estimated yield was compared with the observed yield, both being conditional on the recorded catch numbers-at-age.

CONT

Population status refers to the current state of the population and considers factors such as abundance, age and sex structure, and health (i.e., nutritional and physiological condition).

CONT

The population status of Walleye of Tathlina Lake appears to have improved between 2001 and 2007. The mean size(length and weight) of Walleye and age of Walleye has increased, while the increase in catch-per-unit effort of and proportion of Walleye in the total catch suggests an increase in Walleye biomass in the lake. The presence of the strong 1997 year class that reached sexual maturity in 2003 was left to spawn multiple times without considerable harvest has likely helped improve the status of the population.

OBS

population status: term in use at Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

OBS

Fisheries and Oceans Canada describes the population status as either poor, fair, good, unknown or extirpated.

The total biomass is a measure of the total size of the population. It is the total weight of the population; it is composed of juveniles, the smallest of which(pre-recruits) are too small to catch and have not yet been recruited to the fishery; slightly older fish(recruits) which are large enough to be caught; and adult spawners.

La biomasse totale est une mesure de la taille d'une population dans son ensemble. Il s'agit du poids total de la population; celle-ci se compose de jeunes sujets dont les plus petits (prérecrues) sont trop petits pour être capturés dans la pêche; de sujets un peu plus âgés (recrues) qui sont assez gros pour être pêchés; et de géniteurs adultes.

Volumetric estimates of fish in holding bins(converted to weight) comprise a more accurate method for deriving total catch weight. To apply this technique, first calculate the weight capacity of the holding bin from its volume. If the bin is cubic or rectangular, multiply its length(L), width(W), and height(W) to derive volume … If the holding area is odd-shaped, draw a diagram that separates it into symmetrical portions, calculate volume for each portion, then add these volumes.

The automatic jigging machine lets the hook sink down to a specified depth and then starts jigging with an adjustable range of up-and-down motion and at a pre-determined speed. When the weight is increased by a caught fish, and the pre-set weight is reached, jigging is discontinued and the catch is hauled up automatically; the hauling function stops when fish and hook are on the surface and the fish can be unhooked. Normally one person operates two machines... An adjustable electromagnetic clutch makes it possible to play large fish such as halibut automatically …

In many fisheries, dockside monitoring is the [Department of Fisheries and Oceans’] primary source of verified landing information. This tool only reports on retained catch; information on non-retained catch is not reported. The data collected can include species identification, size, and weight and information on fishing activity. Catches are weighed and/or counted at the wharf providing a direct and typically accurate measurement. This is in contrast to catches recorded by at-sea observers which are often based on a visual estimation of catch weight...

Les données recueillies peuvent comprendre l'identification des espèces, la taille et le poids ainsi que des renseignements sur les activités de pêche. Les prises sont pesées ou comptées au quai, ce qui permet une mesure directe et généralement précise.

  • Weather Stations and Meteorological Instruments and Equipment
DEF

A precipitation gauge consisting of a receiver in the shape of a funnel which empties into a bucket mounted upon a weighing mechanism.

OBS

The weight of the catch is recorded as inches of precipitation.

CONT

Weighing gauges are most useful in areas with frequent snow, since they measure any form of precipitation simply by weighing on a balance whatever falls into a pail. The downward motion of the pail as it fills with precipitation is transmitted to a recording chart on a clock-turned drum. Many of these gauges are equipped with a funnel which can be removed to permit the snow to fall directly into the pail. If accuracy of the snowfall measurements is important, the gauge should, of course, be shielded.

CONT

The two types of automatic rain gages used in the County are weighing buckets and tipping buckets. Most of the rainfall records in the County are collected with weighing bucket gages. A weighing bucket consists of a collection bucket for receiving and storing the precipitation, a weighing device for measurement, and an indicating dial to display, in inches, precipitation gathered by the collector. The weighing bucket mechanically converts the depth of accumulated precipitation during a given period (5 or 15 minutes), to a code disk position. This code disk position is recorded on punched paper tape at the selected intervals.
