Naturalists and scientists have been captivated by the diversity of marine larval forms since
they were discovered following the advent of the microscope. Because they often bear little …

This paper presents a brief review of the present state of knowledge in stock–recruitment
forecasting, including process and current methodological challenges to predicting stock …

Body size determines total reproductive-energy output. Most theories assume reproductive
output is a fixed proportion of size, with respect to mass, but formal macroecological tests are …

The value of big old fat fecund female fish (BOFFFFs) in fostering stock productivity and
stability has long been underappreciated by conventional fisheries science and …

Managing fisheries using length‐based harvest regulations is common, but such policies
often create trade‐offs among conservation (eg maintaining natural age‐structure or …

Marine fisheries are an essential component of global food security, but many are close to
their limits and some are overfished. The models that guide the management of these …

Nongenetic inheritance mechanisms such as transgenerational plasticity (TGP) can buffer
populations against rapid environmental change such as ocean warming. Yet, little is known …

We address the problem of optimal size‐selective exploitation in an age‐structured fish
population model by systematically examining how density and size dependency in growth …

Despite a vast literature on the factors controlling adult size, few studies have investigated
how maternal size affects offspring size independent of direct genetic effects, thereby …
