Biodiversity and Conservation of Marine Mollusks in the Indo‐Pacific Convergence Zone

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
An integrated assessment has identified 11 priority mollusk conservation areas in the Indo‐Pacific Convergence Zone, which harbor 47.9% of species and 58.9% of threatened taxa, though only 18.7% have MPA coverage. Multi‐habitat zones, such as coral–mangrove areas, support 42.3% of molluscan diversity.

Modeling trophic webs in freshwater fishpond systems using Ecopath: towards better polyculture management

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2021
Freshwater pond polyculture faces many challenges in Europe. Appropriate tools must be developed to better understand and manage trophic interactions in pond ecosystems.

Ecosystem Models and Effort Simulations of an Untrawled Gulf in the Central Aegean Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Ecosystem models can be used as fisheries management tools in the context of a holistic approach and view of assessing the status of aquatic ecosystems and proposing plans of action. The Ecopath with Ecosim modeling suite has been widely used to describe

Length-weight relationships for some important forage crustaceans from South Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The diet of marine animals is usually determined by stomach content analysis. Although partially digested prey fragments can often be identified to species level, it is difficult to estimate the original mass of the prey organism.

Bottom‐Up Interactions in State‐Space Age‐Structured Models Using Mass‐Balance Dynamics

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 1048-1064, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Age‐structured models are used worldwide to regulate fisheries. These models typically ignore top‐down interactions (predation affecting natural mortality) and bottom‐up interactions (consumption affecting individual growth, reproduction, or survival), whereas multispecies catch‐at‐age models often incorporate top‐down but not bottom‐up ...

Diet composition and food habits of demersal and pelagic marine fishes from Terengganu waters, east coast of Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Fish stomachs from 18 demersal and pelagic fishes from the coast of Terengganu in Malaysia were examined. The components of the fishes’ diets varied in number, weight, and their frequency of occurrence.

New Fishing Strategies to Face Climate Change Effects on the Spanish Tropical Tuna Fisheries Off Indian Ocean

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 17-26, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Tropical tunas, including yellowfin (Thunnus albacares), are recognized as a crucial contributor to global food security. Moreover, yellowfin tuna is the most commercially valuable tropical tuna. The Spanish purse seine freezer fleet, actively operating in the Indian Ocean, emerges as a leading contributor to the global yellowfin tuna catch ...

Making Ecosystem Modeling Operational–A Novel Distributed Execution Framework to Systematically Explore Ecological Responses to Divergent Climate Trajectories

open access: yesEarth's Future
Marine Ecosystem Models (MEMs) are increasingly driven by Earth System Models (ESMs) to better understand marine ecosystem dynamics, and to analyze the effects of alternative management efforts for marine ecosystems under potential scenarios of climate ...

Trophic modelling of marine ecosystems and ecosystem based fisheries management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Fish populations are an integral part of marine ecosystems. Historically, fish population dynamics have been studied as single species, for example as mackerel, shrimp or sardine, and almost always in isolation from the system in which they exist.
