Abstract In the Baltic Sea, the pikeperch is one of the commercially important coastal fish
species. Most of the local pikeperch stocks in this area can be classified as data-limited …

Edible crab, Cancer pagurus, is a valuable North Atlantic fishery resource distributed from
Morocco to northern Norway, covering a wide range of temperatures and other …

Conservation biologists often use sophisticated models of population functioning to predict
the levels at which harvesting of wild populations will be sustainable. We argue that this …

Sharks and rays are widely perceived to have slow reproductive rates and, thus, are often
considered highly susceptible to population declines from commercial fishing. However, the …

Abstract Stocks of Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, show diverse recovery responses when
fishing pressure is relieved. The expected outcome of reduced fishing pressure is that the …

Examining variation in reproduction (estimates of maturity and adult skip spawning) over
time and space provides vital information on stock structure for managing coast-wide …

Control methods that target specific traits of an invasive species can produce results contrary
to the aims of management. If targeted phenotypes exhibit heritability, then it follows that the …

The edible crab Cancer pagurus supports a valuable northeast Atlantic fishery, but concerns
have been raised about declining catches and its management relies heavily on minimum …

The size and age at which individuals mature is rapidly changing due to plastic and evolved
responses to fisheries harvest and global warming. Understanding the nature of these …

Adaptation is defined as the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate and its
effects. In human systems, adaptation seeks to moderate or avoid harm or exploit beneficial …
