Penguins face a wide range of threats. Most observed population changes have been
negative and have happened over the last 60 years. Today, populations of 11 penguin …

The pelagic fisheries beyond the continental shelves are currently managed with a range of
tools largely based on regulating effort or target catch. These tools comprise both static and …

We reviewed 140 papers to assess the ecological effectiveness of South Africa's marine
protected areas (MPAs). Evidence was assessed for coverage and representivity, protection …

Fishery demand for Antarctic krill is increasing, and projected to continue increasing into the
future. Krill has the potential to contribute approximately 10% to all future marine landings …

Worldwide, in recent years capture fisheries targeting lower-trophic level forage fish and
euphausiid crustaceans have been substantial (∼ 20 million metric tons [MT] annually) …

The compound effects of changing habitats, ecosystem interactions, and fishing practices
have implications for the management of Antarctic krill and conservation of its predators. For …

This paper reviews the socio-economic, ecological, and conservation experiences during
the establishment of Marine Reserves (no-take Marine Protected Areas (MPA)) in New …

Population trends of African penguins Spheniscus demersus in the Western Cape, South
Africa, and their breeding success have been linked to the abundance of their main prey …

Understanding changes in abundance is crucial for conservation, but population growth
rates often vary over space and time. We use 40 years of count data (1979–2019) and …

Global forage-fish landings are increasing, with potentially grave consequences for marine
ecosystems. Predators of forage fish may be influenced by this harvest, but the nature of …
