Ecological best practice in decommissioning: a review of scientific research.
(2018)
The Oslo and Paris Commissions (OSPAR) decision 98/3 prohibits the dumping of man-made structures (MMS) offshore. However, there are regions of the world where MMS are recognized as providing an ecological and societal ...
Marine and coastal ecosystem-based risk management handbook.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2013)
Management of any environmental issue requires the application of management measures designed to eliminate, control, mitigate, or compensate for pressures related to the drivers of human activities to avoid potential ...
Handbook of geo-statistics in R for fisheries and marine ecology.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2017)
Fisheries surveys to estimate the abundance of populations have become a pillar in
providing fishery-independent data to determine the status of fish stocks and monitor
ecosystems. Since the early 1990s, ...
Pitfalls and guidelines for “recycling” models for ecosystem-based fisheries management: evaluating model suitability for forage fish fisheries.
(2014)
Ecosystem models have been developed for many marine systems to provide guidance on fisheries management strategies that protect key ecological functions. These models are commonly “recycled”, i.e. applied to new questions ...
Recommendations for best practice in deep-sea habitat classification: Bullimore et al. as a case study.
(2014)
We assert that the reef framework-forming coral, Solenosmilia variabilis Duncan, 1873, is sometimes incorrectly recorded as another coral, Lophelia pertusa (Linnaeus, 1758) in surveys of deep-sea habitat (e.g. Bullimore, ...
The MSC experience: developing an operational certification standard and a market incentive to improve fishery sustainability.
(2014)
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) standard for sustainable fisheries is represented by three high-level principles and a set of 31 indicators and scoring guidelines, known as the “default assessment tree”. Over the 14 ...
Acoustic target classification.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2018)
Data are collected from a variety of acoustic systems in many countries to address a
range of ecosystem monitoring and stock
management objectives. A key step in the
analysis of fisheries acoustics ...
Calibration of acoustic instruments.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2015)
Acoustic sampling has long been a standard survey tool for estimating the abundance
and distribution of fish, zooplankton, and their seabed habitat (Kimura, 1929; Sund,
1935; Holliday, 1972a; Nielson et al., 1980). ...
