Abstract In many areas of the Baltic Sea, three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) has increased several fold since early 2000s. Two major planktivores Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) and European sprat (Sprattus sprattus), may interact with via competition for food predation, but potential implications at population level are still unknown. Here, we explored interactions between stickleback, herring, using (i) diet analyses (ii) fish biomass estimates from hydroacoustics 2001–2019 covering largest Sea basins—the Central Bothnian Sea. The revealed that is an important prey large along Swedish coast, comprising up to 64% individuals >22 cm. We found a negative influence (>18 cm) on in Baltic, relationship small (<18 (pooled) decline after mid-1990s could have contributed increase reduced predation competition. Overall, be underappreciated piscivore, high fishing pressure generate cascading effects lower trophic levels.

Small pelagic fishes occupy an important trophic role in every global aquatic ecosystem, and many species are heavily exploited by fisheries, including some of the largest most valuable capture fisheries world. In November 2022, a symposium on small fish titled “ Pelagic Fish: New Frontiers Science Sustainable Management” was cohosted PICES, ICES, FAO Lisbon, Portugal. This special issue contains collection research manuscripts that explore approaches currently being used developed to assess manage fishes. particular, this covers topics novel surveying fishes, incorporating environmental covariates into management, management strategy evaluation, aspects economics fisheries. The conclusions highlight importance new seek enhance surveys ecosystem monitoring, incorporate information predict potential impacts changes outcomes for economies communities rely sustainable populations
