Bed‐level tools for monitoring erosion and accretion patterns: Flume validation and field testing
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Monitoring short‐term changes in surface sediment elevation is fundamental to understanding erosion, transport, and deposition dynamics in shallow coastal environments. However, commonly used field approaches, such as horizontal markers, sediment erosion tables, subsurface sediment plates, or erosion pins, are not always cross‐validated under ...

The Impact and Role of Shrimp Trawling Fishery for Kuwait's Seafood Security
Aquaculture, Fish and FisheriesShrimp trawling contributes to seafood supply for coastal communities, but it also captures high amounts of non‐target species (i.e., bycatch), which are often discarded.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Accurate length data underpin many ecological and physiological analyses, from assessing population size structure to parameterizing biomass and bioenergetic models. Stereo‐baited remote underwater video systems (stereo‐BRUVs) provide a non‐intrusive means of collecting these data in situ, supporting management and conservation of motile ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

Effects of Trawling on Seamounts [PDF]
Oceanography, 2010 Trawling involves the towing of nets through the water or along the seafloor to sieve out fish and marine invertebrates. It is the most widely used method to catch fish throughout the world, and there are many variations in gear design and towing methods.

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2015 The Brazilian prawn fishery, as other bottom trawling fisheries, is considered quite efficient in catching the target species but with low selectivity and high rates of bycatch. The family Sciaenidae prevails among fish species caught.

A Scenario Tool for Sustainability Transformation in Fisheries and Beyond
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The urgency to find sustainable management solutions intensifies with increasing natural resource scarcity. Resource sectors are usually characterized by diverse resource users. We developed a structured scenario tool designed to quantitatively assess policy options for achieving sustainability, accounting for ecological, economic and ...

Examining the Role of Economic Complexity and Climate Readiness in the Climate‐Fishing Nexus
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates the climate‐fisheries association in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations from 1999 to 2022. A key objective is to explore the role of both the economic complexity index (ECI) and the climate readiness factor (READ) in the climate‐fishing nexus.
