The European Union's Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) seeks to achieve, for all seas, “Good Environmental Status” (GEnS), by 2020. Ecological models are currently one of the strongest approaches used predicting and understanding consequences anthropogenic climate-driven changes in natural environment. We assess most commonly capabilities modelling community provide information about indicators outlined MSFD, particularly on biodiversity, food webs, non-indigenous species seafloor...
Eutrophication is one of the most important anthropogenic pressures impacting coastal seas. In Europe, several legislations and management measures have been implemented to halt nutrient overloading in marine ecosystems. This study evaluates impact freshwater control on higher trophic levels (HTL) European ecosystems following descriptors criteria as defined by Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). We used a novel pan-European modeling ensemble fourteen HTL models, covering almost all...
This is the first study that estimates sea bass recreational catches in Basque Country including fishers from shore, boat, and spearfishing. Three different offsite survey methods were used (e-mail, phone, post) their performance was compared. Estimates depending on method used. Total catch for shore fishing 129, 156, 351 tonnes e-mail, post surveys, respectively. For boat fishing, varied 5 (phone) to 13 (e-mail post). spearfishing, only e-mail surveys performed total estimated tonnes....
Abstract The correct prediction of the shape and strength density dependence in productivity is key to predicting future stock development providing best possible long‐term fisheries management advice. Here, we identify unbiased estimators relationship between somatic growth, recruitment density, apply these 80 stocks Northeast Atlantic. analyses revealed density‐dependent 68% stocks. Excluding pelagic exhibiting significant trends spawning biomass, probability was even higher at 78%....
The mesopelagic or ocean twilight zone (OTZ) in the contains huge numbers of fish a relatively pristine environment and may therefore attract interest as commercial fishery. In this study we evaluate economic terms, likely trade-offs between different services provided by layer Bay Biscay societal benefits its exploitation. Benefits arise mainly from use group species raw material for producing fishmeal oil. Costs are derived loss climate regulating cultural, services, but also provisioning...
Abstract Multispecies and ecosystem models, which are key for the implementation of ecosystem‐based approaches to fisheries management, require extensive data on trophic interactions between marine organisms, including changes over time. DNA metabarcoding, by allowing simultaneous taxonomic identification community present in hundreds samples, could be used speeding up large‐scale stomach content collection. Yet, metabarcoding routinely implemented, technical challenges should addressed,...
Fisheries are constrained by ecosystem productivity and management effectiveness. Climate change is already producing impacts on marine ecosystems through overall changes in habitats, increased variability of environmental conditions. The way how these will affect fisheries under debate and, also the best course actions to face this global challenge. harvest control rules sets pre-agreed that can be used determine catch limits periodically describe automatically controlled relation state...
Seasonal variations in hydrodynamic conditions play a critical role prey availability at the base of food web and thus have implications for trophic interactions higher levels. Here we use combination stomach content analysis (SCA) stable isotope (SIA) to investigate predator-prey structure pelagic fish community Bay Biscay (BoB) spring late summer 2020 2021. We found that guilds were more influenced by intra-specific affinities rather than seasonal variability. Main comprised set species...
Abstract Andonegi, E., Fernandes, J. A., Quincoces, I., Irigoien, X., Uriarte, Pérez, Howell, D., and Stefánsson, G. 2011. The potential use of a Gadget model to predict stock responses climate change in combination with Bayesian networks: the case Bay Biscay anchovy. – ICES Journal Marine Science, 68: 1257–1269. European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) is short-lived pelagic species distributed Atlantic waters, being one main centres abundance. Because it species, state determined largely...
Within the context of ecosystem approach to fisheries management, an model was developed for Balearic Islands in early 2000s, covering from 0 800 m depth. The aim study describe structure and functioning together with fishing impacts. results show that biomass primary producers (PP), mainly dominated by Posidonia oceanica meadows red algae beds, represented a high percentage (39.20%) ecosystem. Most trophic flows occurred between PP (mostly benthic) level II. mixed impact analysis also...
Abstract. This paper describes the parameterization and calibration of an end-to-end Atlantis model for Bay Biscay, characterising spatially structure functioning ecosystem. The Biscay is considered rich in terms ecological diversity different oceanographic events such as coastal upwelling, run-off river plumes, seasonal currents, take place area. These features, addition to pressures caused by human activities management criteria, demand concurrent modelling all characteristics ecosystem...
