The EU project SEAwise (https://seawiseproject.org/) endeavours to enhance existing multi-stock multi-species Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE) models so that they can be used to define and evaluate fisheries management strategies that address broad Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management (EBFM) objectives, including in particular identifying Harvest Control Rules (HCRs) that are robust to changes in productivi...
Species shifts due to climate change are being recorded and reported worldwide. However, the accurate estimation and causal attribution of species shifts using spatial distribution indicators, such as the center of gravity, is challenging. This is particularly problematic for commercially exploited marine species with data from research surveys, commercial fisheries or other data collection methods that are not...
This work investigated adult-mediated connectivity and spatial population structure of sardine in the European Atlantic waters. The spatial and temporal progress of cohorts was modelled using abundance-at-age survey data by area in the period 2000–2016, covering the region from the northern Bay of Biscay to the eastern Gulf of Cadiz. A novel methodology was used to calculate indices of cohort movement between a...
