The growing number of artificial structures in estuarine, coastal and marine environments is
causing “ocean sprawl”. Artificial structures do not only modify marine and coastal …

In principle, the spatial extent of fishery stock assessment should reflect the biological
population, and major fishing patterns or population heterogeneity within the area should be …

Although movement has always played an important role in fisheries science, movement
patterns are changing with changing ocean conditions. This affects availability to capture …

In marine species experiencing intense fishing pressures, knowledge of genetic structure
and local adaptation represent a critical information to assist sustainable management. In …
