Abstract Fisheries science agencies are responsible for informing fisheries management and ocean planning worldwide, often requiring scientific analysis actions across multiple spatial scales. For example, catch limits typically defined annually over regional scales, fishery bycatch rules at fine scales on daily to annual time aquaculture energy lease areas decades subregional permitting intermediate Similarly, these activities require synthesizing monitoring data mechanistic knowledge operating different resolutions domains. These needs drive a growing role models that predict animal presence or densities including daily, seasonal, interannual variation, called species distribution/density (SDMs). SDMs can inform many needs; however, their development usage haphazard. In this paper we discuss various ways have been used in stock, habitat, protected species, ecosystem as well marine planning, survey optimization, an interface with climate models. We conclude discussion of future directions, focusing information current development, highlight avenues furthering the community practice around SDM use.
