Summary

A temperature-dependent surplus production model has been used to estimate the historical productivity of freshwater fish populations. The data utilized in this analysis includes: (1) an index of relative abundance; (2) fishery removals and subsidies from stocking programs; and (3) lake growing degree days. Surplus production represents the net change in population biomass in the absence of fishing, reflecting the interplay of population dynamics such as recruitment (gain), individual fish growth (gain), and natural mortality (loss).

Purpose

Worldwide, many fish populations are impacted by both climate warming and fishing. Despite the difficulty in disentangling these factors' relative effects, this knowledge is vital to formulating effective strategies for local management. This study uses a temperature-dependent population dynamics model to simultaneously quantify the impact of lake warming and fishing on fish productivities in the Midwestern United States. The estimated historical surplus production is a byproduct of this analysis, which could be used for further analysis by other researchers.
