Marine spatial planning (MSP) is an emerging responsibility of resource managers around
the United States and elsewhere. A key proposed advantage of MSP is that it makes …

Abstract Many stocks of Atlantic Cod Gadus morhua have been depleted due to interactions
between overfishing and environmental variation. Stock declines were often accompanied …

The application of data storage tags bears the potential for a quantum leap in the research
on fish migrations, because not only first‐capture and recapture positions are known, but at …

The Baltic Sea ecosystem has undergone large changes during the last two decades,
including a severe reduction in cod and herring biomass but, at the same time, a large …

Assessment and management of fish populations currently rely on correct estimation of the
spawning-stock biomass (SSB), which is based on accurate maturity ogives of the …

Some studies suggest that fishery yields can be higher with reserves than under
conventional management. However, the economic performance of fisheries depends on …

The absence of functional top predators has been proposed as a mechanism acting to
shape fish assemblages in temperate marine ecosystems, with cascading effects on lower …

Low densities of harbour porpoises in winter (November–March) and high densities in
summer (April–October) were found in the Sound, connecting the Baltic Sea and Kattegat …

Offshore activities elevate ambient sound levels at sea, which may affect marine fauna. We
reviewed the literature about impact of airgun acoustic exposure on fish in terms of damage …

Background In marine fish species, where pelagic egg and larvae drift with ocean currents,
population structure has been suggested to be maintained by larval retention due to …
