Impacts of Pollution, Fishing Pressure, and Reef Rugosity on Resource Fish Biomass in West Hawai‘i [PDF]
AbstractHuman activities and land‐use drivers combine in complex ways to affect coral reef health and, in turn, the diversity and abundance of reef fauna. Here we examine the impacts of different marine protected area (MPA) types, and various human and habitat drivers, on resource fish functional groups (i.e., total fish, herbivore, grazer, scraper ...

Distribution and stocks of mass bottom and demersal fishes by areas of the northwestern Japan Sea
Features of seasonal distribution are considered for the most abundant fish species in the northwestern Japan Sea and their stocks are assessed on the data of the bottom trawl survey over the shelf and continental slope from Peter the Great Bay to the ...

Fishing destabilizes the biomass flow in the marine size spectrum [PDF]
Fishing impacts on marine food webs are predicted by simulations of a size spectrum community model. In this model, predation is determined by predator and prey size and abundance, and drives predator growth and prey mortality. Fishing amplifies temporal oscillations in the biomass flow.

Vertical diel dynamic of fish assemblage associated with an artificial reef (Northern Adriatic Sea)
The vertical diel activity of a fish assemblage inhabiting the Senigallia artificial reef (northern Adriatic Sea, Italy) was evaluated from July to November 1996 using enhanced hydroacoustic techniques. Extensive seabed mapping of the area was done using
