Relevance of Some Environmental Parameters to Distribution Patterns of Groundfish and Implications for Reasonable Survey Design: Case Study Atlantic Cod off Greenland

The effects of environmental parameters on fish distribution patterns have been targeted frequently in fishery science. Concerning the recently depleted status of numerous demersal fish stocks and a consistent lack of commercial fishery data, results of groundfish surveys have gained in significance...

Description
Summary:The effects of environmental parameters on fish distribution patterns have been targeted frequently in fishery science. Concerning the recently depleted status of numerous demersal fish stocks and a consistent lack of commercial fishery data, results of groundfish surveys have gained in significance for fish stock assessment purposes (Doubleday, 1981). One primary use of the analysis of changes in the environment
