Towards Implementing Multispecies Harvest Strategies That Are Robust to Interacting Populations
To advance the implementation of fisheries management that is robust to interacting populations (RIP), ecosystem management approaches can be structured using four main categories: (A) whole‐of‐ecosystem; (B) focus or key species; (C) species of conservation concern; and (D) pest or climate‐immigrant species.

Serial spawning and batch fecundity of merluccius capensis and m. Paradoxus [PDF]
Histological analysis of the ovaries and the presence of multiple modes in oocyte size frequency distribution of Cape hake Merluccius capensis and M. paradoxus indicates that they are serial spawners.

ABSTRACT This study assessed stakeholders' perceptions of current methods and technologies for monitoring and controlling fisheries activities in Namibia's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The research was prompted by reports of illegal fishing and inadequate resources for effective oversight. Understanding stakeholders' views is crucial for policymakers

Global change is reshaping marine habitats, altering predator–prey interactions and food web dynamics. Using Boosted Regression Trees, we assess habitat suitability shifts for crustaceans, fish, penguins, and pinnipeds across three Southern Hemisphere regions from 1850 to 2100 under two climate scenarios.

Abstract This study explores the life‐history parameters of female Merluccius capensis off South Africa (N = 1819) during 2014–2016, including gonadosomatic index (GSI), length‐at‐maturity, length–weight relationships, and condition indices (relative condition [k] and Fulton's condition factor [K]). We detected weak indications of two peaks of spawning

Effects of environmental variables on survey catch rates and distribution by size of shallow- and deep-water Cape hakes, Merluccius capensis and Merluccius paradoxus off Namibia [PDF]
In order to study the effects of temperature, oxygen, salinity and time of day onsurvey trawl catches, we modeled observed catches of juvenile, small, medium and large hakes per station as functions of zenith angle of the sun, geographical position, year,

Spawning patterns of shallow-water hake (Merluccius capensis) and deep-water hake (M. paradoxus) in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem inferred from gonadosomatic indices [PDF]
We use gonad- and body-weight data from 54,000 samples of Merluccius capensis and Merluccius paradoxus collected in all months of the years between 1991 and 2013 to infer peak spawning periods and areas in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem.
