Abstract The increasing need to account for the many factors that influence fish population dynamics, particularly those external population, has led repeated calls an ecosystem approach fisheries management (EAFM). Yet systematically and clearly addressing these factors, hence implementing EAFM, suffered from a lack of clear operational guidance. Here, we propose 13 main (shift in location, migration route or timing, overfishing (three types), decrease physiology, increase predation,...
Abstract The Ecosystem Approach to Management (EAM) has emerged over the past decades, largely promote biodiversity conservation, and more recently sectoral tradeoffs in management of marine ecosystems. To ascertain state practice EAM operationalization, a workshop was held, which included pre-workshop online survey. survey gauged international participants’ perspectives regarding capacity, knowledge, application EAM. When asked about subject, most respondents had general understanding EAM,...
Abstract Living marine resources (LMRs) contribute considerably to economies. Oceans continue respond the effects of global change, with environmental factors anticipated impact future seafood production and its associated economic performance. Here we document novel relationships between primary productivity LMR-based economics for US regional ecosystems 64 international large (LMEs). Intermediate production, total biomass, fisheries landings, revenue, employment are also elucidated. We...
To implement ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM), there is a need to comprehensively examine fundamental components of ecosystems and ascertain the characteristics strategies facilitating this more systematic approach. Coupled natural human factors, inherent biological productivities, governance measures all influence living marine resource (LMR) socioeconomic status within given socio-ecological system (SES). Determining relative prominence these factors remains challenge. Examining...
Science-based natural resource management is necessary for agencies to effectively meet their goals and mandates. However, this scientific basis needs be advanced evolved with ecosystems experiencing unprecedented events that challenge conventional frameworks. Effectively managing marine resources achieving agency missions requires more than meeting independent mandates individual as chronic stressors overwhelm Global science organizations are transitioning interdisciplinary holistic...
Indo-Pacific red lionfish (Pterois volitans) have invaded the western Atlantic, and most recently northern Gulf of Mexico (nGOM), at a rapid pace. Given their generalist habitat affinities diet, strong ecological overlap with members commercially valuable snapper-grouper complex, increased density abundance could result in significant competitive interactions nGOM important species. We experimentally investigated intensity behavioral between indigenous, abundant economically juvenile snapper...
Experimental investigation of the intensity potential competitive interactions among increasingly abundant tropically‐associated grey Lutjanus griseus and lane snapper synagris resident northern Gulf Mexico (nGOM) red campechanus was undertaken in large outdoor mesocosms. In pair‐wise interaction trials, compared with L. , demonstrated significantly increased roving behaviour predatory activity. While no significant difference these activities observed between when all three snappers...
Marine ecosystems and their living marine resources (LMRs) continue to respond the effects of global change, with environmental factors impacting fisheries biomass, distribution, harvest, associated economic performance. Extreme events such as high-category hurricanes, harmful algal blooms, heatwaves, large-scale hypoxia affect major regions subregions United States waters, frequency expected increase over next decades. The impacts extreme on performance have not been examined closely a...
The importance of habitat factors in designing marine reserves and evaluating their performance over time has been regularly documented. Over three biennial sampling periods, we examined the effects vegetated coverage diversity (i.e., patchiness) on fish density, community composition, species-specific patterns along a gradient protection from harvest shallow Spanish southern Mediterranean, including portions Tabarca reserve. With exception two herbivores (Sarpa salpa Symphodus tinca), cover...
