Ecosystem‐level reference points: Moving toward ecosystem‐based fisheries management
Abstract Objective To support the movement in marine fisheries management toward ecosystem‐based fisheries management by exploring ecosystem‐level reference points (ELRPs) as an option for managing fisheries at the ecosystem level. An ELRP is an ecosystem harvest level or indicator with one or more associated benchmarks or thresholds (i.e., targets ...

Response of Mediterranean Sea bivalves to Pliocene–Pleistocene environmental changes
Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is recognized as a hotspot of marine biodiversity. Analysing its past biodiversity can help in understanding species' response to climate change. We built a species‐level dataset of bivalve occurrences across the Zanclean–Calabrian interval, a time characterized by significant changes in climate, and by bivalve ...

Guests or pests? Eirenid hydroids living on the soft tissue of bivalves
Infographic on the life history of Eirenid hydroids (Eutima and Eugymnanthea spp.) living on soft body parts of bivalves (drawings not to scale). A planula (1)—the infecting stage—reaches the bivalve's mantle cavity likely captured by the bivalve's inhalant current.

The recent expansion of the aquaculture industry into the offshore marine environment is perceived to have a comparatively low environmental impact coupled with a high growth potential as a sustainable, large‐scale source of healthy protein. This study assessed changes in sediment characteristics and infauna assemblages following the development of the
