Energy flow through marine ecosystems: confronting transfer efficiency
Transfer efficiency is the proportion of energy passed between nodes in food webs. It is an
emergent, unitless property that is difficult to measure, and responds dynamically to …

[HTML][HTML] Fishery biomass trends of exploited fish populations in marine ecoregions, climatic zones and ocean basins
MLD Palomares, R Froese, B Derrick… - Estuarine, Coastal and …, 2020 - Elsevier
This contribution presents time series of the 'fishery biomass' of fish populations, defined as
the weight (whole-body, wet weight) of the in-water part of a fishable population, ie, that part …

Warming impairs trophic transfer efficiency in a long-term field experiment
In ecosystems, the efficiency of energy transfer from resources to consumers determines the
biomass structure of food webs. As a general rule, about 10% of the energy produced in one …

Trawl impacts on the relative status of biotic communities of seabed sedimentary habitats in 24 regions worldwide
Bottom trawling is widespread globally and impacts seabed habitats. However, risks from
trawling remain unquantified at large scales in most regions. We address these issues by …

From siphonophores to deep scattering layers: uncertainty ranges for the estimation of global mesopelagic fish biomass
The mesopelagic community is important for downward oceanic carbon transportation and is
a potential food source for humans. Estimates of global mesopelagic fish biomass vary …

Accounting for variable recruitment and fishing mortality in length-based stock assessments for data-limited fisheries
MB Rudd, JT Thorson - Canadian Journal of Fisheries and …, 2018 - cdnsciencepub.com
In fisheries with limited capacity for monitoring, it is often easier to collect length
measurements from fishery catch than quantify total catch. Conventional stock assessment …
