Understanding the drivers behind fluctuations in fish populations remains a key objective in
fishery science. Our predictive capacity to explain these fluctuations is still relatively low, due …

Small pelagic fishes are used for human consumption, fishmeal and fish oil. They constitute
25% of global fish catch and have been of considerable conservation concern because of …

Mixed fisheries occur when multiple species are caught together and harvested by multiple
fleets. The biological and technical interactions in mixed fisheries distinguish them from …

Wind farms (WFs) have grown significantly in recent years, especially in the offshore.
However, their construction can adversely affect marine life and expose species to …

This paper summarizes the lessons learnt for the management of small pelagic fish from the
case study of managing the international fishery on the Bay of Biscay anchovy. A constant …

Many fisheries around the world have mixed and multispecies characteristics, and
controlling the fishing mortality of the respective species assemblages is a permanent …

Small pelagic fishes occupy an important trophic role in every global aquatic ecosystem, and
many species are heavily exploited by fisheries, including some of the largest and most …

Predicting the dynamics of harvested species is essential for assessing stock status and
establishing index-based management strategies. However, conventional approaches for …

Incorporation of ecosystem information into fish stock assessments and management
advice, a cornerstone of delivering ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM), occurs …

The management of small pelagic fisheries is a complex task due to its large variability of
both environmental and biological processes. This high variability can impact the reliability …
