While the impacts of high exploitation on fish populations and aquatic ecosystems are well-
documented for commercial fishing, particularly in the marine environment, the potential …

Ambient temperature modulates reproductive processes, especially in poikilotherms such as
teleosts. Consequently, global warming is expected to impact the reproductive function of …

The value of big old fat fecund female fish (BOFFFFs) in fostering stock productivity and
stability has long been underappreciated by conventional fisheries science and …

Rapid declines threaten the persistence of many marine fish. Data from more than 230
populations reveal a median reduction of 83% in breeding population size from known …

Relative body size has long been recognized as a factor influencing reproductive success in
fishes, but maternal age has only recently been considered. We monitored growth and …

It is often assumed that iteroparous fishes spawn annually once reaching sexual maturity,
but this is not always the case. This paper reviews available information on skipped …

Evidence accumulated over the last decade indicates that reproductive potential of marine
fish stocks is not correctly represented by spawning stock biomass. Fundamental variables …

Recently, the importance of the female to population dynamics—especially her non‐genetic
contribution to offspring fitness or maternal effect—has received much attention in studies of …

Overfishing has caused dramatic changes in structures of exploited populations as well as
ecosystems. In this article, we focus on fishing effects on age (size) and spatial structures of …

Marine biodiversity worldwide is under increasing threat, primarily as a result of over-
harvesting, pollution and climate change. Chondrichthyan fishes (sharks, rays and …
