A review of the significant contributions in the peer-reviewed literature indicates that the discarding of marine fish known as bycatch remains one of the most significant problem facing fisheries managers. Bycatch has negative affects on marine biodiversity, is ripe with ethical and moral issues surrounding the waste of life from increased juvenile ...

Associations of Commercial Fisheries and Cold‐Water Corals and Sponges
Three metrics for determining whether the marine life that are landed by commercial fisheries are associated with cold‐water corals and sponges: (a) Adjacent; (b) General Proximity; and (c) Habitat. The relationship between these structure forming invertebrates (SFI) and fisheries is robust across analytical approaches.

Contemporary Methods for Capturing Juvenile Salmonids in the Marine Environment
ABSTRACT Anadromous salmonids play vital roles in marine and freshwater ecosystems. The most abundant of these fishes—Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.)—are integral to coastal ecosystems and communities across the North Pacific Rim, but numerous populations are experiencing dramatic declines, particularly towards the south of their range.

The Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries: Issues, Terminology, Principles, Institutional Foundations, Implementation and Outlook [PDF]
Ecosystems are complex and dynamic natural units that produce goods and services beyond those of benefit to fisheries. Because fisheries have a direct impact on the ecosystem, which is also impacted by other human activities, they need to be managed in ...

Chasing Fish: 130 Years of Innovation, Displacement and Depletion in Scottish Fisheries
ABSTRACT Rebuilding the depleted fisheries of the 21st century requires an understanding of past drivers of their decline. Despite Scotland's central role in the commercial exploitation of North Sea fisheries for over a century, associations between technological innovations, regulatory introductions and fishery landings have not previously been ...

ABSTRACT The waters surrounding Korea are an economically–ecologically important region due to their high fishery productivity and role as seasonal migratory routes for the spawning and growth of commercially valuable species. We evaluated temporal changes in dominant fisheries species in encompassing large marine ecosystem (LME) areas 47, 48, and 50 ...
