Abstract Lakes, reservoirs and wetlands cover a total area of about 7.8 million km 2 provide rich environment for inland capture fisheries. Production from the world's fisheries has grown steadily to over 11.6 tonnes in 2012, with almost 95% catches developing countries. The sector is composed primarily small‐scale fishers provides employment approximately 61 people, which 50% are women. Inland yield only 6.3% global reported fish production (capture aquaculture). However, it proposed that...
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to environmental recovery in some ecosystems from a global “anthropause,” yet such evidence for natural resources with extraction or production value (e.g., fisheries) is limited. This brief report provides data-driven snapshot of expert-perceived impacts on inland fisheries. We distributed an online survey assessing perceptions fishery pressures June and July 2020 basin-level experts (i.e., identified by the Food Agriculture Organization United Nations across...
For millennia humans have extracted biological and physical resources from the planet to sustain societies enable development of technology infrastructure. Growth in human population changing consumption patterns increased footprint on ecosystems their biodiversity, including fresh waters. Freshwater biodiversity face many threats it is now widely accepted that we are a crisis. One means protecting restoring freshwater better manage exploitation biota aggregate (e.g., sand, gravel,...
Irrigated agriculture and inland fisheries both make important contributions to food security, nutrition, livelihoods wellbeing. Typically, in modern irrigation systems, these components operate independently. Some practices, commonly associated with water use intensification of crop production can be direct conflict have adverse effects on fisheries. Food security objectives may compromised if fish are not considered the design phases systems. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development...
Abstract The Amazon Basin is the largest in world and for many of its inhabitants fishing a crucially important source food income. However, benefits derived from mostly informal, part time, seasonal, subsistence-based activities such as are largely invisible to policy-makers, addressing threats aquatic habitats, ecosystem functioning, fisheries frequently given low priority national development agendas. To estimate total extraction fish Basin, we reviewed various publications databases with...
Abstract Addressing ecological impacts with effective conservation actions requires information on the links between human pressures and localized responses. Understanding is a priority for many contexts, including world's fresh waters, which face intensifying threats to disproportionately high species diversity, more than half of fish species. Literature synthesis can uncover highlight potential research gaps, yet be very cumbersome time consuming. Emerging tools like text mining improve...
Abstract Inland fisheries in South and Southeast Asia represent important sources of food, many are extensively stocked. Stocking often catalyses wider changes inland is considered this context. can be beneficial, providing additional incentives to manage, income‐generating opportunities. However, there also identifiable risks: stocking used avoid or ignore addressing reasons underlying the degradation economic development, tenure arrangements, culture technologies involved combine transform...
Inland fisheries and their freshwater habitats face intensifying effects from multiple natural anthropogenic pressures. Fish harvest biodiversity data remain largely disparate severely deficient in many areas, which makes assessing managing inland difficult. Expert knowledge is increasingly used to improve inform biological or vulnerability assessments, especially data-poor areas. Integrating expert on the distribution, intensity, relative influence of human activities can guide resource...
Abstract Inland fisheries are often complex, spatially dispersed, and seasonal. A lack of monitoring can result in unreliable or incomplete catch data, suggesting a role for assessment methods based on population size structure. This paper evaluates compares empirical size-based indicators the length-based spawning potential ratio model as candidate tools assessing data-limited commercial inland systems. Case study applications presented contrasting set important Amazon Basin (Brazil,...
