Total marine fisheries catches in the Baltic Sea by Poland were estimated from 1950-2007 using a method
called ‘catch reconstruction’. Using ICES landing statistics (which have included Polish catches since 1955)
as our reported data baseline, we created a more comprehensive catch-data time-series that accounts for
‘adjustments to ICES landing stat...

... capital city, Warsaw, is situated near the centre of the country, about 450km from the coast. Poland is bordered by Germany to the west, the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south, and Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and Lithuania to the east ( Figure 1). After WWII, Poland was aligned with the Eastern Bloc. ...

... vessels contribute approximately 88% of Polish reported landings in the Baltic, with coastal vessels (considered artisanal) contributing the remaining 12%. This report will address only those catches of coastal, cutter, and recreational fisheries in the Baltic, which operate mainly in ICES sub-divisions 24-26 ( Figure 1). ...

... reported landings of these vessels in 2005 were cod (28%), flatfishes (27%), and herring (22%; FAO, 2009). Poland has a flounder-directed (Platichthys flesus) gillnet fishery which operates predominantly within ICES sub-division 25 ( Figure 1; ICES, 2005b). ...

... 1978, reporting by ICES subdivision was initiated in the Baltic (ICES, 1995). ICES division IIId became equivalent to ICES subdivisions 24-32, which represents the Baltic Sea ( Figure 1; Table 1). ICES divisions IIIb and IIIc are equivalent to ICES sub divisions 23 and 22, respectively ( Figure 1; Table 1), and are collectively known as the 'transition zone' between the Skagerrak and Baltic Sea (ICES, 1995). ...

Since reporting by subdivision began, Poland has reported roughly equal landings from subdivisions 25 and 26 (about 45% of the Polish total in each) and a small portion (about 10%) in subdivision 24 (Table 2). ...

Recreational fshing is a popular activity around the globe, generating billions of dollars in economic beneft based on fsheries in marine and inland waters. In most developed countries, recreational fsheries are managed to achieve diverse objectives and ensure that such fsheries are sustainable. While many anglers fsh during daylight hours, some ta...

Lake trout compose a key component of recreational fisheries in the upper Great Lakes and are managed with length regulations. In some areas and years, recreational length limit regulations require anglers to release non-legal sized lake trout. Furthermore, stock assessment models that estimate harvest quotas for lake trout need to account for recr...
Reproductive parameters of the white anglerfish (Lophius piscatorius) in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea were studied in 556 specimens collected monthly aboard commercial fishing vessels that were trawling at depths of 12–836 m. The main spawning season occurred from February through June. The size at maturity was estimated to be 48.8 cm in tota...
Survey selectivity can be viewed as a function of the availability of the stock to the sampling gear and the sampling efficiency of the gear. A dome-shaped survey selectivity function is one in which survey selectivity decreases with larger and older fish. Such a function is estimated for eastern Bering Sea (EBS) Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) i...
