The regularity of the community size-spectrum, ie, the fact that the total ecosystem biomass
contained in logarithmically equal body size intervals remains constant, is a striking …

Existing methods to predict the effects of climate change on the biomass and production of
marine communities are predicated on modelling the interactions and dynamics of individual …

In recent years, fisheries management has succeeded in stabilizing and even improving the
state of many global fisheries resources [1–5]. This is particularly evident in areas where …

Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems globally characterized by dynamic
interactions between terrestrial and aquatic habitats at different scales. These systems …

Managing fisheries using length‐based harvest regulations is common, but such policies
often create trade‐offs among conservation (eg maintaining natural age‐structure or …

This chapter explores the relationship between small‐scale fisheries and resource
conservation from a governance perspective. It outlines the significance of small‐scale …

Recreational fisheries (RF) are complex social-ecological systems that play an important
role in aquatic environments while generating significant social and economic benefits …

Despite recreational fisheries serving as a prime example of a coupled social–ecological
system, much of the research on such fisheries has been monothematic in orientation and …

Balanced harvesting, where species or individuals are exploited in accordance with their
productivity, has been proposed as a way to minimize the effects of fishing on marine fish …

The size spectrum of an ecological community characterizes how a property, such as
abundance or biomass, varies with body size. Size spectra are often used as ecosystem …
