Marine rewilding principles as a guiding framework for large‐scale ecosystem restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
As marine ecosystems face accelerating degradation from human pressures, interest is growing in approaches that move beyond protection toward active recovery of ecological processes. This article introduces marine rewilding as a forward‐looking framework and synthesizes ecological and social science to develop eight transdisciplinary principles that ...

Behavioural Diversity of Fishes: Concepts, Drivers and Its Role in Conservation and Management

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human activity has altered nearly all ecosystems on Earth, contributing to substantial biodiversity loss across taxonomic, genetic and functional dimensions, from the intraspecific to the ecosystem scale. Yet some components of biodiversity remain hidden or underappreciated, including behavioural diversity.

Relationships Between Oceanic Primary Production, Human Habitation and Variation in the Life‐History Traits of Coral Reef Fishes Across the Northern Line Islands

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biophysical processes associated with large‐scale nearshore oceanographic upwelling can influence coral reef communities by increasing the delivery of nutrient subsidies and food resources to reefs. However, these processes occur alongside anthropogenic activities that may alter ecological patterns across coral reef ecosystems.

A Modified Gear Removal Index (GRI) Method to Support the Management of Abandoned Fishing Gear on Coralligenous Reefs

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Abandoned, Lost or otherwise Discarded Fishing Gears (ALDFG) have significant negative effects on marine ecosystems. In the Mediterranean Sea, the impact of ALDFG is particularly relevant on coralligenous reefs. The management of ALDFG focuses primarily on their removal, however this type of intervention may potentially damage the habitat, so ...

Fish as indicators of coral reef ecosystem status

Ecological Indicators
Monitoring coral reef health is essential for managing biodiversity and ecosystem services in the face of accelerating environmental change. Here, we assess whether aggregated reef fish indicators at the assemblage and family level can reflect variation ...

Climate Vulnerability of Australian Seafood Systems: A National Assessment of Exposure and Adaptive Capacity

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine waters are becoming warmer and acidified and experiencing more intense and longer heatwaves under climate change. These changes are already impacting marine ecosystems and seafood production, which are vital for supporting food security and economic productivity.
