“…Two years into the programme, a review of the first phase of the self-sampling scheme was undertaken by MSS. This self-evaluation applied published recommendations and guidelines to assess the self-sampling scheme in terms of sample sizes (Gerritsen andMcGrath, 2007, Miranda, 2007;Schultz et al, 2016), sampling design (ICES, 2013;fishPi, 2016) and quality assurance (ICES, 2013;ICES, 2014;ICES, 2018a;ICES, 2018b). The report made specific recommendations aimed at minimising bias and ensuring data quality (see Annex 5 in Angus et al, 2021).…”

Fisheries data collection through industry-science partnerships have significant potential to support stock assessments and sustainable management, but few studies have described the steps taken en route to a successful partnership. This paper describes the development of the Scottish Pelagic Industry-Science Data Collection Programme; why and how it started, and what it has taken to develop a routine and consistent voluntary sampling regime of sufficient quality to become the main source of biological data on pelagic fish catches in Scotland. Using our experience, we emphasise the importance of establishing procedures that ensure the quality of methods and results, of working with institutions responsible for provision of national data, and of actively engaging with the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) workshops and working groups on data quality, stock assessment and stakeholder engagement. The development of the programme has been, and remains to be, a mutual learning process which is reflected upon from our different institutional perspectives. The experience gained during this work has built knowledge useful for practitioners in other situations. Specifically, we identify five transferable design principles that we believe have been essential to success so far. Finally, we look at the steps ahead in our efforts toward continuous improvements.

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

“…Field data from larval Pacific Lampreys were assessed via statistical resampling, which revealed that sample sizes of 40-130 individuals were necessary to accurately describe TL frequency for this species in the Willamette River basin, Oregon (Schultz et al 2016). However, the extent to which these results are transferable to other basins or other lamprey species is unclear, particularly because the ages of these larvae were not validated.…”

Knowledge of the biology, distribution, and abundance of lampreys (Petromyzontiformes) is critical to inform conservation actions for native species and to inform control measures for the invasive Sea Lamprey Petromyzon marinus of the Laurentian Great Lakes. Lampreys have complex life cycles that include a freshwater larval stage in which they burrow into substrates consisting of fine sediment and organic matter. The larval stage is frequently targeted in research and monitoring; given this interest, a review of survey designs and methods is needed. Our review identified 12 different sampling methods for larval lampreys and focused on one common method-backpack electrofishing in wadeable habitats. Our review also identified eight research and monitoring questions that have been addressed for larval lampreys in field studies, including distribution, species identification, life stage occurrence, abundance, length frequency, habitat use, residence and movement phenology, and species status. Each question provides unique information and poses distinct challenges to data acquisition and interpretation. The objectives guide decisions about study design and scope of inference. The scope of inference is determined by the size, spatial distribution,
