“…The Lagrangian movement model described in this paper is an alternative to traditional Eulerian approaches commonly used to model the distribution of adult iteroparous fish (Goethel et al 2011;Sippel et al 2015). The Lagrangian approach shown here allows for the explicit consideration of migration hypotheses, such as the cyclic migration between spawning and feeding grounds, and exploration of potential impacts of covariates in shaping migration variability within a population.…”

“…In the Eulerian approach, space is divided in predetermined areas and the movement rate of individuals across such areas is the variable of interest. Eulerian models have been coupled with stock assessment models and tagging studies (Carruthers et al 2011;Methot and Wetzel 2013;Sippel et al 2015) and are useful when there is interest in tracking the net flux of individual across predetermined spatial areas. In the Lagrangian approach, the movement of individuals is tracked through time and space and the movement tracks are the variable of interest (Walters et al 1999).…”

Abstract:We introduce a Lagrangian movement model that can be used to characterize cyclic migrations of iteroparous fish populations. We demonstrate how movement parameters can be estimated using conventionally available catch-at-age data and provide a description of the potential bias that may arise from model misspecification, data aggregation, and nonstandardized sampling effort. The model can be extended to incorporate covariates representing biological and environmental forces that alter the distribution and migration range of exploited populations. We expect that this movement model will be a useful tool to model fish migration, to illustrate how fisheries dynamics are affected by fish migration, and to be used as an operating model in closed loop simulations to test the robustness of management frameworks to spatial structure and connectivity.Résumé : Nous présentons un modèle de déplacement lagrangien qui peut être utilisé pour caractériser les migrations cycliques de populations de poissons itéropares. Nous montrons comment des paramètres de déplacement peuvent être estimés en utilisant des données généralement disponibles de capture selon l'âge et présentons une description du biais potentiel qui peut découler de la mauvaise définition de paramètres du modèle, du regroupement de données et d'un effort d'échantillonnage non normalisé. Le modèle peut être élargi pour y inclure des covariables représentant des forces biologiques et environnementales qui modifient la répartition et l'aire de migration de populations exploitées. Nous nous attendons à ce que ce modèle de déplacement soit utile pour modéliser la migration de poissons et illustrer l'incidence de cette migration sur la dynamique des pêches et qu'il pourrait être utilisé comme modèle opératoire dans des simulations en boucle fermée pour évaluer la robustesse de cadres de gestion quand il y a présence de structure ou de connectivité spatiale.

First Observations of Long‐Distance Migration in a Large Skate Species, the Winter Skate: Implications for Population Connectivity, Ecosystem Dynamics, and Management

et al. 2019

The overexploitation and decline of groundfish populations throughout the 1980s and 1990s resulted in a regime shift on Georges Bank and southern New England, which was characterized by subsequent exponential increases in the observed biomass of Winter Skate Leucoraja ocellata in the region. Recent work suggested that the rate of the Winter Skate biomass increase cannot be fully explained by internal population dynamics of a population without immigration from other regions and/or populations and that adult‐mediated population connectivity (AMPC) with neighboring regions is required to fully explain biomass trends. Despite this, no evidence of long‐distance dispersal has been observed for Winter Skate, with individuals assumed to display high endemicity to specific regions of the continental shelf. Annual movements of 58 Winter Skate captured off coastal New York were examined using passive acoustic telemetry, revealing seasonal long‐distance dispersal capabilities exceeding 1,000 km. In total, 88,783 unique acoustic detections were observed. Telemetered individuals had an average time at liberty of 199.73 d and collectively traveled 17,576.9 km. Individuals tended to migrate south during summer/fall and north during winter/spring. Movement rates of individuals averaged 9.88 km/d (95% confidence interval = 9.25–10.92 km/d) but ranged from 0.13 to 41.38 km/d. An additional 51 recaptured Winter Skate from a total of 3,416 marked with Floy tags suggested greater offshore movement than was observed in acoustically tagged individuals. Our results illustrate that the Winter Skate is a highly mobile species that moves extensively throughout its large geographic range, consistent with its observed ability to rapidly invade neighboring habitat via AMPC. This study has important implications for our understanding of the role of Winter Skate in northwest Atlantic communities and for management strategies therein.
