The world's eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUSs) contribute disproportionately to
global ocean productivity and provide critical ecosystem services to human society. The …

The 'Ecopath', later expanded to 'Ecopath with Ecosim'('EwE'), modeling approach has been
applied to hundreds of ecosystems around the world, since its first implementation in 1984 …

The contribution of aquatic animal protein to the global, animal-source protein supply and
the relative importance of aquaculture to capture fisheries in supplying this protein is …

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 …

Extinction risk in vertebrates has been linked to large body size, but this putative relationship
has only been explored for select taxa, with variable results. Using a newly assembled and …

Marine fisheries target and catch fish both for direct human consumption (DHC) as well as
for fishmeal and fish oil, and other products. We derived the fractions used for each for 1950 …

Climate change and resource exploitation have been shown to modify the importance of
bottom-up and top-down forces in ecosystems. However, the resulting pattern of trophic …

Aquafeed manufacturers have reduced, but not fully eliminated, fishmeal and fish oil and are
seeking cost competitive replacements. We combined two commercially available …

Forage fish support the largest fisheries in the world but also play key roles in marine food
webs by transferring energy from plankton to upper trophic-level predators, such as large …

Understanding the drivers of evolution is a fundamental aim in biology. However, identifying
the evolutionary impacts of human activities is challenging because of a lack of temporal …
