A length-based multi-species model for evaluating community responses to fishing

Hall S.J.; Collie, J.S.; Duplisea, D.E.; Jennings, S.; Bravington, M.; Link, J. (2006)

Type: Journal Article

Quantitative ecosystem indicators are needed to fulfill the mandate for ecosystem-based fisheries management. A variety of community metrics could potentially be used, but before reference levels for such indices can be ...
Changes in the biomass of chambo in the southeast arm of Lake Malawi: A stock assessment of Oreochromis spp.

Bell, R.J.; Collie, J.S.; Jamu, D.; Banda, M. (2012)

Lake Malawi has one of the most diverse fish faunas in the world (500–650 species) and is a major source of protein for the people of Malawi. Chambo (Oreochromis spp.) is one of the most important food fishes; its abundance ...
Does selective fishing conserve community biodiversity? Predictions from a length-based multispecies model

Rochet, M.J.; Collie, J.S.; Jennings, S.; Hall, S.J. (2011)

Type: Journal Article

This study challenges the widely held view that improved fisheries selectivity would always help to maintain marine biodiversity. Using a length-based multi-species model, we investigate the effects of selective versus ...
