Global landings of demersal marine fishes are demonstrated to have shifted to deeper water
species over the last 50 years. Our analysis suggests deep‐water fish stocks may be at …

Summary 1 Wild large herbivores provide goods and income to rural communities, have
major impacts on land use and habitats of conservation importance and, in some cases, face …

The rapid expansion of human activities threatens ocean-wide biodiversity. Numerous
marine animal populations have declined, yet it remains unclear whether these trends are …

We show that the distributions of both exploited and nonexploited North Sea fishes have
responded markedly to recent increases in sea temperature, with nearly two-thirds of …

The impact of fishing on chondrichthyan stocks around the world is currently the focus of
considerable international concern. Most chondrichthyan populations are of low productivity …

We review the effects of fishing on benthic fauna, habitat, diversity, community structure and
trophic interactions in tropical, temperate and polar marine environments and consider …

Empirical relationships are presented to estimate in fishes, asymptotic length (L∞) from
maximum observed length (Lmax), length at first maturity (Lm) from L∞, life span (tmax) from …

This topical and exciting textbook describes fisheries exploitation, biology, conservation and
management, and reflects many recent and important changes in fisheries science. These …

Human impacts on the world's oceans have been substantial, leading to concerns about the
extinction of marine taxa. We have compiled 133 local, regional and global extinctions of …

Large changes are taking place in yield-determining traits of commercially exploited fish,
including traits such as size-at-age and age-at-maturation. The cause of these phenotypic …
