Abstract Climate change is projected to affect the productivity of global fisheries. Management based on maximum sustainable yield (MSY) has been effective at eliminating overfishing in many regions. However, continuing use yield‐maximizing targets under climate‐driven changes can result higher anthropogenic pressure populations subject climate‐related stress than maintaining status quo management targets. We demonstrate this effect using a theoretical example and case studies from snow crab eastern Bering Sea marine fisheries database. In these examples, conservation gain (i.e. biomass ocean) larger small harvest made through climate adaptation MSY‐based management. The aggregate increases as harmful impacts worsen. Instead climate‐adaptive targets, new tools are needed balance food production ecosystems displaying non‐stationary productivity.

Globally, wild decapod crustacean fisheries are growing faster than of any other major group, yet little attention has been given to the benefits, costs, and risks this shift. We examined more 60 years global landings data evaluate socioeconomic ecological implications compositional change in fisheries, propose that direct indirect anthropogenic alterations enhancements ecosystems continue benefit crustaceans. Crustaceans among most valuable seafood, but provide low nutritional yields drive 94% projected increase fishery carbon emissions, due capture efficiency. Unequivocally, increasing demand for luxury seafood comes with serious environmental also appears offer lucrative fishing opportunities. The potential prosperous carries unevaluated risks, highlighting need a nuanced perspective on trade‐offs. Addressing unique suite trade‐offs will require substantive changes both science management.

Resolving the combined effect of climate warming and exploitation in a food web context is key for predicting future biomass production, size-structure potential yields marine fishes. Previous studies based on mechanistic size-based models have found that bottom-up processes are important drivers fisheries yield changing climates. However, we know less about joint effects 'bottom-up' physiological temperature; how do temperature propagate from individual-level physiology through webs alter exploited species community? Here, assess species-resolved affected by both these pathways exploitation. We parameterize dynamic size spectrum model inspired offshore Baltic Sea web, investigate individual growth rates, size-structure, relative abundances warming. The magnitude projections regional coupled system RCA4-NEMO RCP 8.5 emission scenario, evaluate different scenarios dependence fish resource productivity. When accounting temperature-effects addition to basal productivity, projected size-at-age 2050 increases average all species, mainly young fish, compared without In contrast, decreases when affects dynamics only, decline largest fish. Faster rates due warming, however, not always translate larger yields, as lower carrying capacities with increasing tend result abundance hence spawning stock biomass. These results suggest understand global structure communities, direct metabolic indirect via resources must be accounted for.

Introduction The sustainable development of marine fisheries has been a major concern, with the carrying capacity fishery resources becoming focal point research. Methods This study, utilizing remote sensing data, capture catch and fishing effort data from 2013 to 2020, aims determine maximum yield using surplus production model provide comprehensive assessment status potential China’s resources. Results results indicate that exhibit significant regional variability, East China Sea contributing largest share maintaining sustainability, while regions such as South Sea, Yellow Bohai have exceeded their ecological capacities. Correlation analysis highlights nutrient levels water quality (e.g., chemical oxygen demand) are critical for resource stability, distribution management protected areas further influence capacity. Discussion study contributes more effective policies, aiming balance economic benefits health. By understanding these dynamics, policymakers can better address challenges facing fisheries.

Abstract China is the world's largest capture fisheries and aquaculture producer. Over recent decades, China's domestic marine catch composition has changed markedly, from large volumes of a few high‐valued food species to multiple, small, low‐valued, species, significant proportion which primarily used as animal, especially fish, feed. Despite growing volume economic importance feed catches, their composition, socio‐environmental impacts are all poorly understood. Based on nationwide survey >800 fishing vessels, identification measurement >12,000 fish invertebrate individuals, present study provides an overview component catch, by volumes, sizes, found it be substantial biologically unsustainable. Half trawler (3 million metric tons, mmt), or 35% total (4.6 mmt) in exclusive zone, now comprised low‐valued “feed‐grade fish”. The identified 218 50 crustaceans five cephalopods, these, 102 were with 89% individuals juvenile size ranges. Feed‐grade mainly directly, indirectly, through industry after reduction fishmeal oil. unparalleled scale poor resource condition fisheries, parallel severe overfishing juveniles, creates demand for fundamental changes fishery management practices, including effort ensure productivity ecosystem resilience.

Abstract The allocation of metabolic energy to growth fundamentally influences all levels biological organisation. Here we use a first‐principles theoretical model characterise the energetics fish at distinct ontogenetic stages and in thermal regimes. Empirically, show that mass scaling rates follows rate, is somewhat steeper earlier stages. We also demonstrate cost growth, E m , varies substantially among fishes, it may increase with temperature, trophic level activity. Theoretically, primary determinant efficiency transfer across levels, transferred more efficiently between if prey are young sedentary. Overall, our study demonstrates importance characterising individual order understand constraints on structure food webs ecosystems.

Balanced harvest has been proposed to reduce fishing impact on ecosystems while simultaneously maintaining or even increasing fishery yield. The concept attracted broad interest, but also received criticisms. In this paper, we examine the theory, modelling studies, empirical evidence, legal and policy frameworks, management implications of balanced harvest. examination reveals unresolved issues challenges from both scientific perspectives. We summarize current knowledge address common questions relevant idea. Major conclusions include: can be expressed in several ways implemented multiple levels, with different approaches e.g. métier based management; it explicitly bridges fisheries conservation goals accordance international frameworks; studies limited evidence reveal that ecosystem structure increase aggregate yield; extent is not purely a question, social choice; transition may incur short-term economic costs, long-term, results will vary across individual for society overall; its application, adopted at strategic tactical levels need full implementation, could aim “partially-balanced” Further objective discussions research subject are needed move toward supporting practical approach fisheries.
