How can fisheries management use information on density-dependent growth to set quotas?

Sep 2, 2022 ... A density-dependent factor is a factor whose effects on the size or growth of a population vary with the population density. Nov 22, 2024 ... Most density-dependent factors, which are biological in nature (biotic), include predation, inter- and intraspecific competition, accumulation ... For example, the mode of pathogen transmission might be one important factor (see Fenton et al. 2002 and references therein). The form of density dependence is ... These density-independent factors include food or nutrient limitation, pollutants in the environment, and climate extremes, including seasonal cycles such as ... areas, palms occur in high density and act as limiting factor in tree recruitment by limiting tree seedling and sapling abundance. In this study, I ... This study investigated the underlying mechanisms of spatio-temporal dynamics of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the Gulf of Maine (GoM). Summary. 1. There has been increasing recognition that catastrophes are an important factor in modelling threatened populations. However, density dependence ... Our work indicates that biotic factors play an important role in shaping species' trailing edges and more detailed examination of non-climatic factors is ... ... density-dependent effect is derived from environmental factors not from the density. That is, a density-dependent effect is illusory phenomenon [2] - [8] . We conclude that immature snowy owls that irrupt into eastern North America are limited by density-dependent factors, such as increased competition forcing ...
