Simple rules for establishment of effective marine protected areas in an age-structured metapopulation [PDF]
The implementation of effective protected areas is one of the central goals of modern conservation biology. In the context of fisheries management and marine ecosystem conservation, marine reserves often play a significant role to achieve sustainable fisheries management.

SPRAT: A Spatially-Explicit Marine Ecosystem Model Based on Population Balance Equations [PDF]
To successfully manage marine fisheries using an ecosystem-based approach, long-term predictions of fish stock development considering changing environmental conditions are necessary. Such predictions can be provided by end-to-end ecosystem models, which couple existing physical and biogeochemical ocean models with newly developed spatially-explicit ...

Computer Vision and Deep Learning for Fish Classification in Underwater Habitats: A Survey [PDF]
Marine scientists use remote underwater video recording to survey fish species in their natural habitats. This helps them understand and predict how fish respond to climate change, habitat degradation, and fishing pressure. This information is essential for developing sustainable fisheries for human consumption, and for preserving the environment ...

Marine mammal interactions with fisheries, such as bycatch and depredation, are a common occurrence across commercial and small-scale fisheries. We conducted a systematic review to assess the management responses to marine mammal interactions with ...

Global marine fisheries discards: A synthesis of reconstructed data
As part of the global marine fisheries catch reconstruction project conducted by the Sea Around Us over the last decade, estimates were derived for discards in all major fisheries in the world. The reconstruction process derives conservative but non-zero

Experiential-Informed Data Reconstruction for Fishery Sustainability and Policies in the Azores [PDF]
Fishery analysis is critical in maintaining the long-term sustainability of species and the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on fishing for food and income. The fishing gear, or metier, is a key factor significantly impacting marine habitats, selectively targeting species and fish sizes.

Effects of Marine Protected Areas on Overfished Fishing Stocks with Multiple Stable States [PDF]
Marine protected areas (MPAs) have attracted much attention as a tool for sustainable fisheries management, restoring depleted fisheries stocks and maintaining ecosystems. However, even with total exclusion of fishing effort, depleted stocks sometimes show little or no recovery over a long time period.
