Aquaculture provides an important and expanding source of protein rich and healthy food to
the world. However, to minimize environmental harm from aquaculture, interactions with wild …

Indices of abundance based on fishery catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) are important
components of many stock assessments, particularly when fishery-independent surveys are …

Hunting and fishing are often size-selective, which favours slow body growth. In addition,
fast growth rate has been shown to be positively correlated with behavioural traits that …

The positive effects of reduced fishing pressure in marine protected areas (MPAs) are now
well documented globally. Yet, evidence of MPA benefits from long-term replicated before …

Abstract Space is a critical component of fisheries management. Despite this, very few of the
world's fish and shellfish stocks are currently assessed using methods that are spatially …

Ghost fishing, the continued catch of fishes and invertebrates by lost fishing gear, represents
an animal welfare issue as well as a waste of both potential food and ecosystem resources …

Purse‐seine tropical tuna fishing in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (EPO) results in the
bycatch of several sensitive species groups, including elasmobranchs. Effective ecosystem …

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly established worldwide to protect and
restore degraded ecosystems. However, the level of protection varies among MPAs and has …

Estimates of recreational fishing effort and catch are needed to inform fisheries
management, but such estimates can be challenging to obtain. We combined a zig‐zag line …

The value of no-take marine protected areas (MPAs) in providing fisheries-independent
information to evaluate the status of adjacent fish stocks is increasingly being recognised …
