Spatial ecology of North Atlantic shark populations North Atlantic marine ecosystems have experienced severe disruption at higher trophic positions, including large declines in several shark species. In addition, stock assessments for management and conservation purposes are rarely available for shark species, due to a low quantity and quality of data. For example, unreported bycatch and…

Engineering a population balance model for long-term fish stock prediction My PhD project aims to develop and implement an age-structured, spatially explicit model to predict the long-term development of fish stocks. The model tries to combine the merits both of individual based models and classical population dynamics models, which treat entire fish stocks as their…
