Critical mass interpretation of quantum mechanics.
A “pilot wave” is created by the source as sub-particles
Particles and sub-particles interact
Particles can be observed and sub-particles currently cannot
There must be a critical mass of sub-particles to form a particle

You think stock assessment is complicated, try understanding #entanglement in #QuantumMechanics

Hard to find a simple but accurate explanation on the web or #YouTube so I had a go explaining myself. Feedback please #Physics #QuantumPhysics #Quantum

What do you think about using a low probability of exceeding a limit reference point as a exceptional circumstance in a harvest strategy rather than a harvest control rule control point? The Management Strategy Evaluation #MSE establishment doesn't appear to like it

New Paper by Hui-Hua Lee shows how to use statistical tests to determine if a recruitment index significantly improves an assessment model and consequent management action. #Fisheries #Statistics #StockAssessment #Model

Hi Everyone,

CAPAM’s special issue on Fisheries Stock Assessment Good Practices is finally completed.

Direct link to the special issue is here

The preface that briefly describes the papers can be found at

On flight to #Iceland watched series about #QuotaManagement and #fishing in Iceland based on real events. Not sure how much is true, interesting, similar things happened in #NewZealand. (In good Icelandic tradition, there is lots of sex, nudity, drugs, and alcohol) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackport

New paper on relating the #stockrecruitment relationship with evaluating the #stockstatus with respect to #referencepoints in #FisheriesManagement focusing on the depletion estimation and the double jeopardy of the SR relationship.

My research focuses on #population assessment methodology, mainly #fisheries #stockassessment. I focus on integrating diverse data types in a #likelihood framework. I also coordinate the #CAPAM initiative and its workshop series and special issues.
