Fighting for Fisheries In the debate concerning future of world's fisheries, some have forecasted complete collapse but others challenged this view. The protagonists in now joined forces to present a thorough quantitative review current trends world fisheries. Worm et al. (p. 578 ) evaluate evidence global rebuilding marine capture fisheries and their supporting ecosystems. Contrasting regions that been managed with those not, reveals trajectories decline recovery from individual stocks...
Cause or Correlation? Three centuries ago, Bishop Berkeley's 1710 classic “A treatise on the nature of human knowledge,” first spelled out “correlation vs. causation” dilemma. Sugihara et al. (p. 496 , published online 20 September) present an approach to this conundrum, and extend current discussions about causation dynamic systems with weak moderate coupling (such as ecosystems). The resulting method, convergent cross mapping can detect causal linkages between time series.
Local Speeding Early responses of species to climate change seemed predict a general poleward response (or upward in mountains and downward the ocean). Pinsky et al. (p. 1239 ) test an alternative hypothesis that relates more nature than changes temperature. Using nearly 50 years coastal survey data on >350 marine taxa, they found velocity was much better predictor patterns individual species' characteristics or life histories. The findings suggest largely track local conditions.
Integrated ecosystem assessments challenge the broader scientific community to move beyond important task of tallying insults marine ecosystems developing quantitative tools that can support decisions national and regional resource managers must make.
The preferred timing of umbilical-cord clamping in preterm infants is unclear.We randomly assigned fetuses from women who were expected to deliver before 30 weeks gestation either immediate the umbilical cord (≤10 seconds after delivery) or delayed (≥60 delivery). primary composite outcome was death major morbidity (defined as severe brain injury on postnatal ultrasonography, retinopathy prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis, late-onset sepsis) by 36 postmenstrual age. Analyses performed an...
The shift in marine resource management from a compartmentalized approach of dealing with resources on species basis to an based spatially defined ecosystems requires accurate accounting energy flow. flow primary production through the food web will ultimately limit upper trophic-level fishery yields. In this work, we examine relationship between yield and several metrics including net production, chlorophyll concentration, particle-export ratio, ratio secondary production. We also evaluate...
Georges Bank, a shallow submarine plateau located off the New England coast, has supported valuable commercial fisheries for several centuries. The region is characterized by high levels of primary productivity and, historically, fish production. Within last four decades Bank been subjected to major perturbations that have profoundly altered catch, abundance, and species composition. arrival distant water fleets during early 1960s resulted in dramatic increases effective fishing effort...
Published life-history parameters for sharks, skates, and rays over a wide geographic range were used to develop predictive models estimate that are difficult measure or have not been previously estimated in elasmobranch species. We determined empirical relationships between body size (total length) length at maturity (L m ) age (T ). The data determining these relationships, the von Bertalanffy asymptotic [Formula: see text] growth rate (k), natural mortality (M) maximum max describe...
Abstract We evaluated the spatial distribution of otter trawl fishing effort and catches resulting from imposition in 1994 year-round seasonal groundfish closed areas off NE USA. Vessel locations were available logbooks, vessel monitoring system (VMS) data many largest vessels, observer records. There was high coherence between VMS- observer-derived trawling locations. Prior to establishment, 31% (1991–1993) occurred within 22 000 km2 area that would eventually be year-round. In 2001–2003...
We review the application of multispecies models as tools for evaluating impacts fishing on marine communities. Four types model are identified: descriptive multispecies, dynamic aggregate system, and system models. The strengths weaknesses their ability to evaluate causal mechanisms underlying shifts in production examined. This comparison provides a basis assessing benefits each modelling approach tool ecosystems. Benefits include: improved estimates natural mortality recruitment; better...
We examined a suite of abiotic, biotic, and human metrics for the northeast U.S. continental shelf ecosystem at aggregate, community, system level (>30 different metrics) over three decades. Our primary goals were to describe status, improve understanding relationships between key processes, evaluate potential reference points ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM). To this end, empirical indicators status standard multivariate statistical methods applied changes in system. found...
Marine fisheries management strives to maintain sustainable populations while allowing exploitation. However, well‐intentioned plans may not meet this balance as most do include the effect of climate change. Ocean temperatures are expected increase through 21st century, which will have far‐reaching and complex impacts on marine fisheries. To begin quantify these for one coastal fishery along east coast United States, we develop a coupled climate–population model Atlantic croaker (...
For many marine species and habitats, climate change overfishing present a double threat. To manage resources effectively, it is necessary to adapt management changes in the physical environment. Simple relationships between environmental conditions fish abundance have long been used both fisheries fishery management. In cases, however, physical, biological, human variables feed back on each other. these systems, associations can as system evolves time. This obscure population dynamics...
The perception that ecosystem-based fishery management is too complex and poorly defined remains a primary impediment to its broadscale adoption implementation. Here, I attempt offer potential solutions these concerns. Specifically, focus on pathways can contribute overall simplification by moving toward integrated place-based plans away from large numbers of species-based plans; using multispecies or ecosystem models indicators permit the simultaneous consistent assessment components while...
Abstract Ecosystem-based management (EBM) has emerged as a basic approach for managing human activities in marine ecosystems, with the aim of recovering and conserving ecosystems services they deliver. Integrated ecosystem assessments (IEAs) further transition EBM from principle to practice by providing an efficient, transparent means summarizing status components, screening prioritizing potential risks, evaluating alternative strategies against backdrop environmental variability. In this...
