Detecting Regime Shifts in Fish Stock Dynamics
Environmental factors such as the water temperature, salinity and the abundance of zooplankton can have significant effects on certain fish stocks’ ability to produce juveniles and, thus, stock renewal ability. This variability in stock productivity manifests itself as different productivity regimes...

Environmental factors such as the water temperature, salinity and the abundance of zooplankton can have significant effects on certain fish stocks’ ability to produce juveniles and, thus, stock renewal ability. This variability in stock productivity manifests itself as different productivity regimes. Here, we detect productivity regime shifts by analyzing recruit-per-spawner time series with Bayesian online change point detection algorithm. The algorithm infers the time since the last regime shift (change in mean or variance or both) as well as the parameters of the data generating process for the current regime sequentially. We demonstrate the algorithm’s performance using simulated recruitment data from an individual-based model, and further apply the algorithm to stock assessment estimates for four Atlantic cod stocks obtained from RAM legacy data base.
