To investigate possible errors, length-weight parameters from FishBase.org were used to graph length-weight curves for six different species: channel catfish, black crappie, largemouth bass, rainbow trout, flathead catfish, and lake trout…
In spite of the abundance and commercial importance of these two species, there is little published weight-length data for the gafftopsail catfish (Bagre marinus) and hardhead catfish (Ariopsis felis). For this study 84 catfish were caught…
The traditional power law model, W(L) = aL^b, is widely applied to describe weight (W) vs. length (L) in fish. The model, W(L) = (L/L1)^b, is proposed as an improvement. The Levenberg-Marquardt non-linear least squares technique is used to…
In large lakes, ice cover plays an important role in shipping and navigation, coastal erosion, regional weather and climate, and aquatic ecosystem function. In this study, a novel deep learning model for ice cover concentration prediction…
High-resolution multispectral satellite imagery was utilized to quantify shoreline recession at eleven beaches around Lake Michigan during a record-setting water level increase between 2013 and 2020. Shoreline changes during this period…
Carlander's Handbook of Freshwater Fishery Biology (1969) contains life history data from many species of freshwater fish found in North America. It has been cited over 1200 times and used to produce standard-weight curves for some species.…
Background: Much has been written about introduced rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) interbreeding and outcompeting cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii). However, the specific mechanisms by which rainbow trout and their hybrids…
Volunteer-led lake monitoring yields irregular, seasonal time series with many gaps arising from ice cover, weather-related access constraints, and occasional human errors, complicating forecasting and early warning of harmful algal blooms.…
We developed a state-space age-structured catch-at-length (ACL) assessment model for redfish in NAFO Divisions 3LN. The model was developed to address limitations in the surplus production model that was previously used to assess this…
Our article presents a robust and flexible statistical modeling for the growth curve associated to the age-length relationship of Cardinalfish (Epigonus Crassicaudus). Specifically, we consider a non-linear regression model, in which the…
Modeling fish growth is an important research topic in ecological and fishery sciences because body weight statistics directly affect the total biomass of fish in a habitat, which in turn affects their population dynamics. Many models of…
Wave directionality plays a critical role in shaping coastal conditions and influencing local livelihoods, underscoring the importance of conducting detailed analyses. This study examines directional wave climate along the southwestern…
Much has been written about introduced rainbow trout interbreeding and outcompeting native cutthroat trout. However, specific mechanisms have not been thoroughly explored, and most data is limited to lotic ecosystems. Samples of Snake River…
Creel surveys were performed over a three week period in late spring, 2011, in the Lafourche and Calcasieu area estuaries of the Louisiana Gulf Coast. Weights and lengths were measured for black drum (Pogonias cromis), red drum (Sciaenops…
Fish harvesting often targets larger individuals, which can be sex-specific due to size dimorphism or differences in behaviors like migration and spawning. Sex-selective harvesting can have dire consequences in the long run, potentially…
In aquaculture, disease spread models often neglect the dynamic interactions between farms, hindering accuracy. This study enhances the Katz index (KI) to incorporate spatial and temporal patterns of fish movement, improving the prediction…
We employ micro-particle image velocimetry ($\mu$-PIV) to investigate laminar micro-flows in hydrophobic microstructured channels, in particular the slip length. These microchannels consist of longitudinal micro-grooves, which can trap air…
To adapt to real-world data streams, continual learning (CL) systems must rapidly learn new concepts while preserving and utilizing prior knowledge. When it comes to adding new information to continually-trained deep neural networks (DNNs),…
We develop a Bayesian nonparametric framework for modeling ordinal regression relationships which evolve in discrete time. The motivating application involves a key problem in fisheries research on estimating dynamically evolving…
We investigate to what degree the steady laminar flow in typical micro- and mini-channels with offset strip fin arrays can be described as developed on a macro-scale level, in the presence of channel entrance and side-wall effects. Hereto,…
