Monitoring change in a dynamic environment: spatiotemporal modelling of calibrated data from different types of fisheries surveys of Pacific halibut
Monitoring distributional shifts in Arctic and subarctic fish species as environmental conditions change can be difficult due to sparse or infrequent surveys. Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) are found as far north as the Bering Strait, and future changes in sea temperatures and prey distri...
