Marine Mammal Impacts in Exploited Ecosystems: Would Large Scale Culling Benefit Fisheries?
Competition between marine mammals and fisheries for marine resources-whether real or perceived-has become a major issue for several countries and in international fora. We examined trophic interactions between marine mammals and fisheries based on a resource overlap index, using seven Ecopath models including marine mammal groups. On a global scale, most food consumed by marine mammals consist...
متن کاملAssessment and Mitigation of Fisheries Impacts on Marine Ecosystems:
The aim of the Sea Around Us Project is to quantify, in ecological and economic terms, the impact of fisheries on the marine ecosystems of the North Atlantic, and to evaluate the costs and benefits of various scenarios of mitigation, such as status quo, rebuilding of depleted resources and implementation of closed areas. Dealing with these issues requires a methodological package related to, bu...
متن کاملDynamic Complexity in Exploited Marine Ecosystems
Marine ecosystems are increasingly recognized as exhibiting the principal hallmarks of complex systems, including the possibility of sudden shifts in state among alternative basins of attraction and both periodic and aperiodic dynamical behavior. Over the last several decades a well-defined theory of complexity has emerged, integrating earlier (and inter-related) concepts based on bifurcation t...
متن کاملFisheries in Large Marine Ecosystems: Descriptions and Diagnoses
We present a rationale for the description and diagnosis of fisheries at the level of Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs), which is relatively new, and encompasses a series of concepts and indicators different from those typically used to describe fisheries at the stock level. We then document how catch data, which are usually available on a smaller scale, are mapped by the Sea Around Us Project (se...
متن کاملA knowledge base for Exploited Marine Ecosystems
In 2008, IRD started to work on setting up a knowledge base (named Ecoscope) about Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries domain (EAF) in the context of a marine ecology laboratory studying Exploited Marine Ecosystems in different regions of the world. This application was meant to fit the needs of researchers by improving knowledge and related information resources management [14,12]. Among other goa...
