Declines in individuals' growth in exploited fish species are generally attributed to
evolutionary consequences of size‐selective fishing or to plastic responses due to …

This paper summarizes the lessons learnt for the management of small pelagic fish from the
case study of managing the international fishery on the Bay of Biscay anchovy. A constant …

Future scenarios of fish stocks and the impacts of climate variability and change on fisheries
are critical to anticipate and minimize potential economic losses in this sector. In this study …

In many exploited marine fish species, older individuals within cohorts often have slower
growth rates at age than their younger counterparts, a process generally attributed to fishing …

The growth of Mullus barbatus has been widely studied using different methods, but no
previous study has focused on age validation. The uncertainty in estimating the age of the …

Decreased body size is often cited as a major response to ocean warming. Available
evidence, however, questions the actual emergence of shrinking trends and the prevalence …

Fishery production is highly dependent on fish growth and environmental factors; primary
production and temperature are the two most important variables affecting almost all …

The growth pattern and parameters of Atlantic chub mackerel in Northern Iberian waters
were analysed for the first time in this study, using otolith analyses (direct age estimation …

Specific changes identified in the otolith macrostructure of Northeast Arctic cod as “spawning
zones” are presumed to represent spawning events, but recent experimental studies have …

The age determination in fast-growing short-living species, such as European anchovy
(Engraulis encrasicolus), has been widely recognized as a difficult task and bias introduced …
