Assessment of the cod stock in NAFO Division 3M

39 páginas, 27 figuras, 21 tablas.-- Scientific council meetingAn assessment of the cod stock in NAFO Division 3M is performed. A Bayesian model, as used in the last assessments, was used to perform the analysis. Results indicat e a fairly substantial increase in SSB, reaching a value well above B lim . The six-years retrospective plot shows that the r ecruitment is overestimated every year. Three year projections indicate that fishing at the F statusquo level should allow SSB to increase slowly, although abundance will remain at levels below those observed at the beginning of the series. If the fishing mortality were return to the levels seen before 1995, stock recovery would become improbablPeer reviewe

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the standard deviation of CT attenuation values (attenuation SD) and tumor grade for prediction of perioperative complications.

<p>Under all reference-corrected values, the standard deviation of the CT attenuation was the only parameter with an AUC > 0.6. In comparison, the ROC curve for the tumor grade is given.</p

Collateral retrograde flow pattern.

<p>Regular contrast agent flow through the heart, lung and aortic arch (AA) after contrast injection into a port-catheter implanted into the superior caval vein (SCV) (A-C). One week later, the catheter tip (arrow head) was dislocated slightly backwards into the confluens of the jugular and axillary vein (AV) and the SCV was thrombosed (*) (D). The contrast agent flowed (dotted arrows) into the proximal SCV via thoracic collaterals including the lateral thoracic vein (LTV) (E and F).</p

Regular antegrade blood flow pattern.

<p>A-C show a regular contrast agent inflow during implantation of a port-catheter into the right atrium (arrow tip) via the right jugular vein. Thus, in A only the right atrium contains contrast agent, which then flows via the pulmonary arteries into the lung (B), and finally contrasts the left ventricle, the aortic arch as well as the supraaortic arterial vessels (C). A repeat DSA with regular contrast agent flow was performed in the same animal 2 weeks later (D-F).</p
