This section contains technical notes on quantitative marine ecology, fisheries science, stock assessment, spatio-temporal modelling, statistical distributions, and reproducible scientific computing. The purpose of this blog is to translate statistical and ecological concepts into practical tools for marine and fisheries research.
Main Series
Quantitative marine ecology: Marine ecology through data, statistical models, theory, and computational tools.
Fisheries and stock dynamics: Population changes, fishing pressure, productivity, stock status, and fisheries management.
Species profiles: Scientific syntheses of marine species of ecological, commercial, or fisheries interest.
Ocean–climate interactions: Biological and ecological responses to environmental, climatic, and oceanographic variability.
Spatial ecology and habitat: Distribution, habitat, spatial structure, connectivity, and movement patterns of marine resources.
Paper review: Critical discussion of key scientific papers in marine ecology, fisheries science, and ecological modelling.
A practical guide to choosing statistical distributions for presence–absence, counts, CPUE, biomass, proportions, compositional data, and extreme events in fisheries and marine ecology.
