Chemical analysis of calcified structures continues to flourish, as analytical and
technological advances enable researchers to tap into trace elements and isotopes taken up …

Maintenance of genetic diversity in marine fishes targeted by commercial fishing is a grand
challenge for the future. Most of these species are abundant and therefore important for …

In principle, the spatial extent of fishery stock assessment should reflect the biological
population, and major fishing patterns or population heterogeneity within the area should be …

Large-scale electronic tagging is a very powerful tool to study how fish movements and
migrations shape the internal dynamics of populations. This knowledge, crucial for …

This essay explores shifting scientific understandings of fish and the evolution of fisheries
science, and it grapples with colonialism as a system of power. We trace the rise of fisheries …

Social-ecological systems dependent on fisheries must be resilient or adapt to remain viable
in the face of change. Here, we identified possible interventions (termed “adaptation …

Although movement has always played an important role in fisheries science, movement
patterns are changing with changing ocean conditions. This affects availability to capture …

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 …

The 'stock concept'in fisheries science conforms to theoretical assumptions of stock
assessment models, including negligible movement across stock boundaries, relatively …

Fishery management decisions are commonly guided by stock assessment models that
aggregate outputs across the spatial domain of the species. With refined understanding of …
