Abstract Sustainable Development Goal 14 of the United Nations aims to “conserve and
sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development” …

A census of the biomass on Earth is key for understanding the structure and dynamics of the
biosphere. However, a global, quantitative view of how the biomass of different taxa …

Sustainably managing marine species is crucial for the future health of the human
population. Yet there are diverse perspectives concerning which species can be exploited …

Climate change is altering habitats for marine fishes and invertebrates, but the net effect of
these changes on potential food production is unknown. We used temperature-dependent …

Data from 4,713 fisheries worldwide, representing 78% of global reported fish catch, are
analyzed to estimate the status, trends, and benefits of alternative approaches to recovering …

This study presents a new, open-source modelling software entitled 'Just Another Bayesian
Biomass Assessment'(JABBA). JABBA can be used for biomass dynamic stock assessment …

The majority of global fish stocks lack adequate data to evaluate stock status using
conventional stock assessment methods. This poses a challenge for the sustainable …

Fish stocks fluctuate both in abundance and productivity (net population increase), and there
are many examples demonstrating that productivity increased or decreased due to changes …

Surplus production modelling has a long history as a method for managing data‐limited fish
stocks. Recent advancements have cast surplus production models as state‐space models …

Effective fisheries management requires accurate estimates of stock biomass and trends;
yet, assumptions in stock assessment models generate high levels of uncertainty and error …
