Fisheries impact on the South China Sea large marine ecosystem: a preliminary analysis using spatially-explicit methodology
Type: Conference Proceedings
A multiple regression model is derived, based on biomass estimates in 16 massbalance food web (Ecopath) models, which explains 68 % of the variation in the data at hand, and shows that the abundance of fish with trophic ...
Ecosystem-based management objectives for the North Sea: riding the forage fish rollercoaster
Type: Journal Article
The North Sea provides a useful model for considering forage fish (FF) within ecosystem-based management as it has a complex assemblage of FF species. This paper is designed to encourage further debate and dialogue between ...
A trophic model of the coastal fisheries ecosystem off the west coast of Sabah and Sarawak, Malaysia
Type: Book Chapter
A mass-balance steady-state trophic model of the coastal fisheries ecosystem off the West Coasts of Sabah and Sarawak, Malaysia (10 - 60 m depth) was constructed using the Ecopath software. The ecosystem models were ...
Socioeconomic and bioeconomic analysis of coastal resources in central and northern Java, Indonesia

Trophic model of the coastal fisheries ecosystem of the west coast of peninsular Malaysia
Type: Book Chapter
A preliminary mass-balance trophic model was constructed for the coastal fisheries ecosystem of the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia (0 - 120 m depth). The ecosystem was partitioned into 15 trophic groups, and biomasses ...
The South China Sea: analyzing fisheries catch data in an ecosystem context
Type: Journal Article
The South China Sea is an important fishing area with an annual harvest of some 5 million tonnes, or 10% of the catches jointly taken by the developing nations of the world. Details are given of a model of the area describing ...
Overfishing and the replacement of demersal finfish by shellfish: An example from the english channel
Type: Journal Article
The worldwide depletion of major fish stocks through intensive industrial fishing is thought to have profoundly altered the trophic structure of marine ecosystems. Here we assess changes in the trophic structure of the ...
Social equity and benefits as the nexus of a transformative Blue Economy: A sectoral review of implications
Type: Journal Article
The term ‘Blue Economy’ is increasingly used in various marine sectors and development frameworks. For it to be a truly useful approach, however, we argue that social benefits and equity must be explicitly prioritized ...
