Marine biota are redistributing at a rapid pace in response to climate change and shifting seascapes. While changes in fish populations and community structure threaten the sustainability of fisheries, our capacity to adapt by tracking and projecting marine species remains a challenge due to data discontinuities in biological observations, lack of data availability, and mismatch between data and real species distributions. To assess the extent of this challenge, we review the global status and accessibility of ongoing scientific bottom trawl surveys. In total, we gathered metadata for 283,925 samples from 95 surveys conducted regularly from 2001 to 2019. We identified that 59% of the metadata collected are not publicly available, highlighting that the availability of data is the most important challenge to assess species redistributions under global climate change. Given that the primary purpose of surveys is to provide independent data to inform stock assessment of commercially important populations, we further highlight that single surveys do not cover the full range of the main commercial demersal fish species. An average of 18 surveys is needed to cover at least 50% of species ranges, demonstrating the importance of combining multiple surveys to evaluate species range shifts. We assess the potential for combining surveys to track transboundary species redistributions and show that differences in sampling schemes and inconsistency in sampling can be overcome with spatio‐temporal modeling to follow species density redistributions. In light of our global assessment, we establish a framework for improving the management and conservation of transboundary and migrating marine demersal species. We provide directions to improve data availability and encourage countries to share survey data, to assess species vulnerabilities, and to support management adaptation in a time of climate‐driven ocean changes.

In this paper we perform robustness and sensitivity analysis of several continuous-time stochastic volatility (SV) models with respect to the process of market calibration. The analyses should validate the hypothesis on importance of the jump part in the underlying model dynamics. Also an impact of the long memory parameter is measured for the approximative fractional SV model. For the first time, the robustness of calibrated models is measured using bootstrapping methods on market data and Monte-Carlo filtering techniques. In contrast to several other sensitivity analysis approaches for SV models, the newly proposed methodology does not require independence of calibrated parameters -an assumption that is typically not satisfied in practice. Empirical study is performed on data sets of Apple Inc. equity options traded in April and May 2015.

The additive manufacturing industry shows annual growth of more than 10 %. Therefore, the requirements for produced components are increasing, especially for individual medical technology applications printed from poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK). This paper focuses on an investigation of an uninterrupted nozzle system for printing the high‐performance thermoplastic PEEK with short fiber reinforcements. A custom‐made nozzle design with variable outlet angle is presented and the achievable fiber length distribution and fiber orientation in the printed material are investigated. The applied nozzle angles are 60 °, 90 ° and 120 °. The geometric shape of the tip of the custom‐made nozzles is comparable to that of a reference nozzle. With regard to the height profile, the inner surface is up to three times smoother. With a decreasing nozzle angle, a lower degree of fiber damage caused by deposition can be demonstrated. Thus, the process‐induced shortening of the fibers decreases. The enhanced flow profile for small angles outweighs the simultaneous disadvantageous due to friction loss, shear stress and pressure drop. A clear result for the fiber orientation cannot be deduced. © 2021 The Authors. Polymer International published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Industrial Chemistry.
