    Stock Recruitment Relationships

    Uploaded by

    Nezya Pramudya Wardani
    This document discusses stock-recruitment relationships in fisheries management. It defines stock as the population under consideration for utilization, and recruitment as the addition of new individuals through birth. There are different definitions for when recruitment occurs depending on the species. The document presents some common stock-recruitment models, including the Beverton-Holt and Ricker relationships, which describe how recruitment changes with variations in spawning stock size. It also discusses hypotheses for density-dependence, such as effects of habitat, fecundity, and food availability on recruitment.

    RECRUITMENT
    • Annual recruitment is defined as the number of animals
    “added to the population” each year.
    • However, recruitment is also defined by when recruitment
    occurs:
    • at birth (mammals and birds);
    • at age one (mammals and birds, some fish);
    • at settlement (invertebrates / coral reef fishes);
    • when it is first possible to detect animals using sampling gear; and
    • when the animals enter the fishery.
    • All of these definitions are “correct” but you need to be aware
    which one is being used.

    used to determine to what extent a population may be
    • Stock harvested by either commercial or sport fisheries
    • part of population under consideration
    for actual or potential utilization; or
    • sample of individuals with similar
    production characteristics
    • Recruitment
    • the addition of new individuals to a
    population through the birth process
    • point in time (stage) after the egg

    SOME HYPOTHESES FOR
    D E N S I T Y- D E P E N D E N C E
    • Habitat
    • Some habitats lead to higher survival of offspring than others
    (predators / food). Selection of habitat may be systematic (nest
    selection) or random (location of settling individuals).
    • Fecundity
    • Animals are territorial – the total fecundity depends on getting a
    territory.
    • Feeding
    • Given a fixed amount of food, sharing of food amongst
    spawners will occur.

    • The recruitment increases with the size of the spawning stock to a certain level,
    then it flattens out. Further increase of the spawning stock does not lead to higher
    recruitment.
    • The survival rate of a cohort depends on the size of the cohort, i.e.:
    dR Cohort is a
     (q  pR) R; R(0)  a S group
    dt
    of fish born in
    R(t ) is the number of recruits at time t ,
    the same year
    S is the number (biomass) of spawners. within a
    population or
    • This can be integrated to give: stock.

    R  
    b1  S b2  a2 S 1  b3 S
    T H E R I C K E R R E L AT I O N S H I P
    • Recruitment increases with the size of the spawning stock to a
    maximum, then recruitment decreases as the spawning stock increases.
    • The survival rate of a cohort depends only on the initial abundance of
    the cohort, i.e:
    dR
     (q  pS ) R; R(0)  a S
    dt
    R(t ) is the number of recruits at time t ,
    S is the number (biomass) of spawners.

    • This can be integrated to give:
