Food web structure, the hub index and identifying species of ecological significance

Ecological Indicators
Ecosystem based fisheries management (EBFM) attempts to take a broader perspective to the management of natural resources. To date it has often focused on the status of specific stocks, species or habitats.

Exploring the relationship between static fishing gear, fishing effort, and benthic biodiversity: a systematic review protocol

Environmental Evidence, 2021
Background and objectives The environmental effects of static gear fishing include habitat-level effects such as permanent changes to the physical environment and the structure of the benthic and epibenthic communities.

When is the bait worth the risk? A mechanistic model of a compensatory ecological trap in seabirds

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological traps occur when organisms preferentially select habitats that reduce fitness. In seabird–fishery systems, fishery‐derived trophic subsidies can increase foraging success, reinforce habitat preference and indirectly enhance reproductive output or recruitment,

An Optimal Control Framework for Multi‐Species Harvesting in the Southern Black Sea

Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 39, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The management of marine fisheries requires balancing ecological sustainability with economic profitability, particularly in ecosystems vulnerable to overexploitation. This study develops a multi‐species optimal control modeling framework for the southern Black Sea, focusing on three key species: horse mackerel (Trachurus mediterraneus) as ...

Linking species distribution models with population abundance to support adaptive fisheries management

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Understanding how environmental variability structures essential fish habitat (EFH) is central to managing keystone populations in dynamic marine ecosystems. Using nearly three decades of standardized survey data (1994–2021) from the Adriatic Sea, we present the first basin‐scale, process‐based framework linking estimated habitat suitability and ...

High Cost and Low Trust: Insights From Qualitative Commercial Fishing Cost Data in the Northeast United States

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 665-680, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In fisheries management, socioeconomic data, specifically qualitative data analysis, is often underutilized. This study qualitatively analyzed a primary federal data collection effort in the Northeast United States, The Greater Atlantic Region Commercial Fishing Business Cost Survey.

Advancing Ecological Understanding and Sustainable Management of Small Pelagic Fish

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 850-864, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish (SPF) are critical to the trophodynamic structure and function of marine systems and support some of the most valuable and socially important fisheries worldwide. Their “boom and bust” population dynamics, shifts in distribution, and importance as forage resources for other fish stocks place unique challenges to assessing ...

Causal Models as a Scientific Framework for Next‐Generation Ecosystem and Climate‐Linked Stock Assessments

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 942-959, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Rapid changes in marine ecosystems highlight the need to account for time‐varying productivity in stock assessments used to support fisheries management. Common approaches incorporate annual variation or regressing processes such as recruitment, natural mortality, or growth on environmental variables.

Trawling disturbance on benthic ecosystems and consequences on commercial species: a northwestern Mediterranean case study

Scientia Marina, 2014
Trawling is known to disturb benthic communities and habitats, which may in turn indirectly affect populations of commercial species that live in close association with the seabed.
