We used a fine-scale acoustic positioning system to quantify the movements of 26 red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) around 120 bait deployments in 2019 at a natural reef site (∼37-m deep) in North Carolina, USA. There were 39 instances of tagged red snapper approaching bait during four baiting days, some of which approached due to apparent sensory cues (28%), while most approached incidentally (72%). Tagged red snapper approached bait from initial distances of 1 to 1147 m (median = 27 m; mean = 86 m), and took 0–77 min (mean = 22 min) to approach. Fish were more likely to approach bait if they were located close to, and down-current of, the bait at deployment. Our estimated effective fishing area of 2290 m2 (within which >50% of red snapper responded to bait) could be used along with video counts and other information to estimate densities of red snapper. }, number={3}, journal={CANADIAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC SCIENCES}, author={Bacheler, Nathan M. and Runde, Brendan J. and Shertzer, Kyle W. and Buckel, Jeffrey A. and Rudershausen, Paul J.}, year={2022}, month={Mar}, pages={458–471} } @article{damiano_wager_rocco_shertzer_murray_cao_2022, title={Integrating information from semi-structured interviews into management strategy evaluation: a case study for Southeast United States marine fisheries}, volume={9}, ISSN={["2296-7745"]}, DOI={10.3389/fmars.2022.1063260}, abstractNote={Management strategy evaluation (MSE) has become a more common tool for engaging stakeholders in fisheries management, and stakeholder participation in MSE is increasingly recognized as a vital component of the process. The participation of stakeholders, specifically fishers, in MSE is of particular importance because they often possess intimate knowledge of the socio-ecological management system that MSE seeks to model. When the resources to conduct a “full” MSE with direct fisher involvement are unavailable, MSEs are sometimes conducted by desk-based analysts with no fisher engagement. We propose an intermediate framework in which information collected from semi-structured interviews is used to inform a “desk-based” MSE. We demonstrate that semi-structured interviews with commercial and recreational fishers can elicit some of the same kinds of information that fishers provide during direct participation in MSE. We conducted 30 semi-structured interviews with commercial and recreational fishers from the Southeast United States participating in either Atlantic cobia (Rachycentron canadum) or black sea bass (Centropristis striata) fisheries. We collected primarily qualitative and some quantitative information about preferred conceptual objectives and management measures, and how their fishing behavior has changed in response to past management action. Commercial fishers generally preferred conceptual objectives and management measures that align with traditional MSY-based fisheries management, while recreational fishers’ responses were substantially more heterogeneous, indicating a more diverse range of desired objectives and preferred management measures. We synthesized this information to develop a suite of management procedures that employ a range of fishing mortality-based constant-catch harvest control rules and size-based management measures for simulation testing against preferred objectives by sector. We demonstrate that integrating information from semi-structured interviews with MSE in this way offers a cost-effective alternative intermediate approach to fisher participation in MSE when direct participation is not possible.}, journal={Frontiers in Marine Science}, author={Damiano, M. and Wager, B. and Rocco, A. and Shertzer, K. and Murray, G. and Cao, J.}, year={2022} } @article{karnauskas_shertzer_paris_farmer_switzer_lowerre-barbieri_kellison_he_vaz_2022, title={Source-sink recruitment of red snapper: Connectivity between the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean}, volume={8}, ISSN={["1365-2419"]}, DOI={10.1111/fog.12607}, abstractNote={Abstract}, journal={FISHERIES OCEANOGRAPHY}, author={Karnauskas, Mandy and Shertzer, Kyle W. and Paris, Claire B. and Farmer, Nicholas A. and Switzer, Theodore S. and Lowerre-Barbieri, Susan K. and Kellison, G.

For populations in open systems, abundance estimates from tagging data can be highly uncertain or biased. Here, we develop a novel approach to estimate abundance of an open population by pairing two models, each utilizing distinct tagging data. Using data from telemetry tags, we infer movement rates to and from the study site with a Markovian model allowing for an environmental effect. Then, using data from conventional passive tags, we apply a Lincoln–Petersen abundance estimator modified to account for mortality and movement. After developing the model within a Bayesian framework, we demonstrate its application to data on gray triggerfish (Balistes capriscus) tagged in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina, USA. For this open population, we estimate site abundance to be ∼1000 fish (∼2000 fish·km–2) and additionally find evidence for an effect of hurricanes on movement. The general approach may be useful for fisheries, wildlife, and other ecological studies utilizing multiple tag types, particularly for estimating abundance of an open population. }, number={1}, journal={Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences}, publisher={Canadian Science Publishing}, author={Shertzer, Kyle W. and Bacheler, Nathan M. and Pine, William E., III and Runde, Brendan J. and Buckel, Jeffrey A. and Rudershausen, Paul J. and MacMahan, Jamie H.}, year={2020}, month={Jan}, pages={34–43} } @article{runde_buckel_shertzer_bacheler_rudershausen_sauls_2020, title={Repetitive capture of marine fishes: implications for estimating number and mortality of releases}, volume={77}, ISSN={1095-9289}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsaa166}, DOI={10.1093/icesjms/fsaa166}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={7-8}, journal={ICES Journal of Marine Science}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Runde, Brendan J and Buckel, Jeffrey A and Shertzer, Kyle W and Bacheler, Nathan M and Rudershausen, Paul J and Sauls, Beverly}, editor={Poos, Jan JaapEditor}, year={2020}, month={Nov}, pages={2905–2917} }
