How different life-history strategies respond to changing environments: a multi-decadal study of groundfish communities [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn recent decades, climate variability has led to significant shifts in the distribution and prevalence of various fish species in the North Atlantic. These changes are well documented for several groundfish species within the zoogeographical transition ...

High resolution assessment of commercial fisheries activity along the US West Coast using Vessel Monitoring System data with a case study using California groundfish fisheries. [PDF]
PLoS ONECommercial fisheries along the US West Coast are important components of local and regional economies. They use various fishing gear, target a high diversity of species, and are highly spatially heterogeneous, making it challenging to generate a synoptic

A spatially distinct history of the development of california groundfish fisheries. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 During the past century, commercial fisheries have expanded from small vessels fishing in shallow, coastal habitats to a broad suite of vessels and gears that fish virtually every marine habitat on the globe. Understanding how fisheries have developed in

Long-term participation in collaborative fisheries research improves angler opinions on marine protected areas [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Recent marine spatial planning efforts, including the management and monitoring of marine protected areas (MPAs), increasingly focus on the importance of stakeholder engagement. For nearly 15 years, the California Collaborative Fisheries Research Program

Genetic assignment of fisheries bycatch reveals disproportionate mortality among Alaska Northern Fulmar breeding colonies [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2022 Global fisheries kill millions of seabirds annually through bycatch, but little is known about population‐level impacts, particularly in species that form metapopulations. U.S.

Substantial loss of trawlable biomass and lack of recovery in a marine ecosystem [PDF]
Communications BiologyProfound changes in species assemblages are occurring in marine ecosystems worldwide and are essential to document. Here we use 51 years (1971–2021) of fishery-independent data from a standardized bottom-trawl research vessel survey (6440 independent ...
