Optimising the review of electronic monitoring information for management of commercial fisheries.

Unlabelled: Electronic monitoring (EM) systems incorporating cameras and other devices can collect a broad range of data to support fisheries management. We reviewed the data collection capabilities of EM and considered approaches to increasing efficiency, including cost effectiveness, of EM review. EM can provide information on catch, effort, catch handling, bycatch mitigation, fishing gear and operational data, which are relevant for fisheries management including by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs).

From data compilation to model validation: comparing three ecosystem models of the Tasman and Golden Bays, New Zealand.

The Tasman and Golden Bays (TBGB) are a semi-enclosed embayment system in New Zealand that supports numerous commercial and recreational activities. We present three ecosystem models of the TBGB ecosystem with varying levels of complexity, aimed at contributing as tools to aid in understanding this ecosystem and its responses to anthropogenic and natural pressures. We describe the process of data compilation through to model validation and analyse the importance of knowledge gaps with respect to model dynamics and results.

A randomized trial of combined citalopram and naltrexone for nonabstinent outpatients with co-occurring alcohol dependence and major depression.

Despite the high rate of co-occurrence of major depression and alcohol dependence, the role of pharmacotherapy in their treatment remains unclear. In the new era of naltrexone for alcohol dependence, it is notable that only 1 study to date has examined the efficacy of antidepressant medication prescribed concurrently with naltrexone. We aimed to determine whether combining naltrexone with citalopram produced better treatment outcomes than naltrexone alone in patients with co-occurring alcohol dependence and depression, and to investigate whether either sex or depression type (independent or substance-induced depression) moderated treatment response.
