Transboundary Fisheries Management

Toward Darwinian fisheries management

There is increasing evidence that fishing may cause rapid contemporary evolution in freshwater and marine fish populations. This has led to growing concern about the possible consequences such evolutionary change might have for aquatic ecosystems and the utility of those ecosystems to society. This special issue contains contributions from a symposium on fisheries-induced evolution held at the ...

Fisheries Management: Basic Principles

Swordfish Fisheries and Management Today

vailing currents and use their highly developed sight to stalk prey. Female swordfish grow faster and live longer than males. They reach their maximum size (usually ~350 kg) at about 15 years of age. Male and female swordfish have different distributions depending on size. Within swordfish populations, a proportion of the fish associates with underwater features such as banks and seamounts. Suc...

Modeling and simulating fisheries management

The aim of the PhD research was to contribute to improving fisheries management. The overall purpose was to select applicable modeling techniques, develop models and simulate the dynamics of fisheries management with the aim of comparing different management strategies by looking at their impact on selected indicators. The indicators are biological, economic or social. The main contribution of ...
