Cephalopods, especially squids, are believed to have a structuring role in marine
ecosystems as a link between different trophic levels, primarily due to their voracious prey …

We performed a global assessment of how fish biomass has changed over the last 100 yr,
applying a previously developed methodology using ecological modeling. Our assessment …

Ecosystem modeling is a popular technique to incorporate the direct and indirect
interactions of all ecosystem components within a simulation. However, these models are …

We synthesized available information from ecological models at local and regional scales to
obtain a global picture of the trophic position and ecological role of squids in marine …

Interannual oceanic oscillations, climate change, and extreme events present a significant
and complex challenge to management of pelagic fisheries. In recent years, anomalous …

We conducted a four year interdisciplinary collaborative project focused in the Gulf of
California, the most important fishing region for Mexico. We reviewed published reports …

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) is being absorbed into the ocean, altering seawater
chemistry, with potentially negative impacts on a wide range of marine organisms. The early …

Keyl, F., Argüelles, J., and Tafur, R. 2011. Interannual variability in size structure, age, and
growth of jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) assessed by modal progression analysis.–ICES …

The jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas supports an important fishery in the central region of the
Gulf of California, Mexico. However, in recent years, landings of this species in the port of …

We reconstructed the structure of a tropical marine food web and then analyzed it to
evaluate how the trophic network could respond to anthropogenic pressures such as the …
