Prior to 1986, landings data were reported under a voluntary reporting system (red verticle line in panel d). From 1986 to the present, landings and effort were tracked via the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Trip Ticket Program.

Figure A2.2. Density dependence in relative catchability q as evidenced by variation in mean annual catch per unit effort (CPUE), measured as trips per year divided by mean legal oyster density from DACS surveys. Assuming constant area swept per tong lift, this relationship implies that number of tong lifts per trip increases by a factor of about 4 when densities drop from around 100 legal oysters/m 2 to the observed low of near 10/m 2 .

Figure A2.3. Observed (black circles) and model predicted (blue line) trends in legal (> 76.2 mm, panel (a) and sub-legal (b) oyster abundance, predicted oyster fishery yield (c), and estimated natural mortality rate (d) in Apalachicola Bay from 1990-2013. Model prediction results are from applying the parameter estimation procedure assuming balanced impacts of variation in natural mortality rate and recruitment rate. Observed data are from Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Sciences (DACS) fisheries independent surveys and predictions are from age-structured model described in this paper for comparison. Note large reduction in recruitment rates for 2012-3 implied by forcing the model to fit the DACS density estimates.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
