Abstract Large-scale climatic conditions prevailing over the central Baltic Sea resulted in declining salinity and oxygen concentrations spawning areas of eastern cod stock. These changes hydrography reduced reproductive success and, combined with high fishing pressure, caused a decline stock to lowest level on record early 1990s. The present study aims at disentangling interactions between effort hydrographic forcing leading variable recruitment. Based identified key processes, dynamics is...
How fisheries will be impacted by climate change is far from understood. While some fish populations may able to escape global warming via range shifts, they cannot ocean acidification (OA), an inevitable consequence of the dissolution anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in marine waters. affects population dynamics commercially important species critical for adapting management practices exploited populations. Ocean has been shown impair larvae's sensory abilities, affect...
Abstract Marine ecosystems evolve under many interconnected and area‐specific pressures. To fulfil society's intensifying diversifying needs while ensuring ecologically sustainable development, more effective marine spatial planning broader‐scope management of resources is necessary. Integrated ecological–economic fisheries models ( IEEFM s) systems are needed to evaluate impacts sustainability potential actions understand, anticipate ecological, economic social dynamics at a range scales...
Abstract Theory behind ecosystem-based management (EBM) and fisheries (EBFM) is now well developed. However, the implementation of EBFM exemplified by in Europe still largely based on single-species assessments ignores wider ecosystem context impact. The reason for lack or slow EBM specifically a coherent strategy. Such strategy offered recently developed integrated (IEAs), formal synthesis tool to quantitatively analyse information relevant natural socio-economic factors, relation specified...
Abstract Understanding tipping point dynamics in harvested ecosystems is of crucial importance for sustainable resource management because ignoring their existence imperils social-ecological systems that depend on them. Fisheries collapses provide the best known examples realizing points with catastrophic ecological, economic and social consequences. However, present-day fisheries still largely ignore potential resources to exhibit such abrupt changes towards irreversible low productive...
Abstract Multispecies models have existed in a fisheries context since at least the 1970s, but despite much exploration, advancement, and consideration of multispecies models, there remain limited examples their operational use fishery management. Given that species fleet interactions are inherently problems push towards ecosystem-based management, lack more regular is both surprising compelling. We identify impediments hampering provide recommendations to address those impediments. These...
ABSTRACT Bees and wasps perform systematic flight manoevres when they leave their nest or a foodplace, during which acquire update visual memory of the goal location. In typical learning flight, insect backs away from in series arcs that are roughly centred on goal. The mean rate turning is rather constant tends to balance angular speed at arc described. As result, views relatively fixed retinal positions its left right field, depending direction. general direction transition one segment...
A coupled hydrodynamictrophodynamic individual-based model of drift and feeding was utilized to analyze the intra- inter-annual variability in growth survival cod (Gadus morhua) larvae central Baltic Sea. Highly temporally spatially resolved simulated flow fields were used investigate potential larval from centre spawning effort Bornholm Basin towards their nursery areas through three-dimensional idealized prey fields. Stomach content analyses revealed calanoid copepod nauplii early...
Overfishing of large predatory fish populations has resulted in lasting restructurings entire marine food webs worldwide, with serious socio-economic consequences. Fortunately, some degraded ecosystems show signs recovery. A key challenge for ecosystem management is to anticipate the degree which recovery possible. By applying a statistical food-web model, using Baltic Sea as case study, we that under current temperature and salinity conditions, complete this heavily altered will be...
Modern resource management faces trade-offs in the provision of various ecosystem goods and services to humanity. For fisheries develop into an ecosystem-based approach, goal is not only maximize economic profits, but consider equally important conservation social equity goals. We introduce such a triple-bottom line approach multi-species using Baltic Sea as case study. apply coupled ecological-economic optimization model address actual challenge trading-off recovery collapsed cod stocks...
Human-induced climate change such as ocean warming and acidification, threatens marine ecosystems associated fisheries. In the Western Baltic cod stock socio-ecological links are particularly important, with many relying on for their livelihoods. A series of recent experiments revealed that populations negatively affected by change, but an ecological-economic assessment combined effects, advice optimal adaptive management still missing. For cod, increase in larval mortality due to...
To successfully fulfill the European Commission Mission on “restore our ocean and waters by 2030” (Mission Starfish 2030), innovative solutions are requested. A key objective is to foster participatory governance actively engaging mobilizing public. This approach empowers citizens take initiative lead transitions through deliberative democracy, social innovation, citizen science, targeted awareness campaigns." The EU-project A-AAGORA* pushes for these objectives forward, focusing three...
