Translating Ecological Integrity terms into operational language to inform societies

open access: yes, 2018
It is crucial that societies are informed on the risks of impoverished ecosystem health for their well-being. For this purpose, Ecological Integrity (EI) is a useful concept that seeks to capture the complex nature of ecosystems and their interaction ...

Identifying Purse Seine Vessel Operations Through Machine Learning Models for Better Spatial Fishing Effort Estimates

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spatial fisheries management requires precise, spatial explicit information on species distribution and fishing impacts. In the NW Mediterranean, the distribution of small pelagic fish (SPF) stocks is currently assessed through annual acoustic surveys.

Modified sorting technique to mitigate the collateral mortality of trawled school prawns (Metapenaeus macleayi) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The potential for changes to onboard handling practices in order to improve the fate of juvenile school prawns (Metapenaeus macleayi) discarded during trawling were investigated in two Australian rivers (Clarence and Hunter) by comparing a purpose-built,

International Bottom Trawl Survey Working Group (IBTSWG)

open access: yes, 2022
The International Bottom Trawl Survey Working Group (IBTSWG) coordinates fishery-independent bottom trawl surveys in the ICES area in the Northeast Atlantic and the North Sea. These long-term monitoring surveys provide data for stock assessments and facilitate examination of changes in fish distribution and relative abundance.

The SPoRC Stock Assessment Package: A Generalized Next‐Generation Platform to Assess Spatial, Age and Sex‐Structured Populations

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fisheries managers increasingly rely on stock assessment models to provide sustainable management advice, which must balance complex and competing objectives. Although assessment models necessitate simplifying assumptions, there is increasing recognition to improve the integration of realistic biological and fishery dynamics. While ongoing and

Quantification and mitigation of bottom-trawling impacts on sedimentary organic carbon stocks in the North Sea [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences
The depletion of sedimentary organic carbon stocks by the use of bottom-contacting fishing gear and the potential climate impacts resulting from remineralization of the organic carbon to CO2 have recently been heavily debated.

open access: yes, 1997
Bycatch management measures instituted for groundfish fisheries of the eastern Bering Sea have focused on reducing the incidental capture and injury of species traditionally harvested by other fisheries.
