Summary: This study explores the socio-cultural relationship between anglers and blue sharks in the UK. The findings show that anglers have respect for sharks and are willing to contribute to research. The study also reveals that socio-demographic variables are correlated with anglers' perceptions. Operators follow best fishing practices and are willing to contribute to research.

Summary: This paper discusses a participatory process to co-produce biophysical, socio-economic, and governance principles for marine reserves design and management in Mexico. The integrative approach aims to achieve more effective, equitable, inclusive, and robust marine policies and practices. The process includes convening a coordination team, reviewing science, holding multi-stakeholder workshops, developing principles, and promoting their uptake and application in policy and practice.

Summary: Direct and indirect anthropogenic pressures are expected to lower the provided ecosystem services in the future. Protected areas and renewable energies are being implemented to address these impacts. However, sharing space between offshore wind farms (OWFs), marine protected areas (MPAs), and fisheries is challenging due to low acceptability and underrepresentation of fisheries. In this study, a marine spatial planning framework was developed to explore siting scenarios that conserve species, regulate ecosystem services, and ensure equitable impacts on fisheries.

Summary: Globally, ecosystem-based marine spatial planning plays a key role in coordinating different authorities to balance the diverse requirements in managing marine areas and space. Ecology sets limits on acceptable human activities and multiple aspects must be considered in the planning process. A more holistic, multi-sectoral, and coordinated approach is needed for successful marine planning and management, challenging traditional sector division and calling for better coordinated marine policies.

Summary: The study found that climate adaptation in Tasmanian fisheries management has mainly been passive or incidental, indicating the need for more improvements. Future improvements may include providing more or different scientific information, advocating for government reviews and reforms, industry changes and taking more responsibility, obtaining more funding and resources, as well as increasing education and interaction among stakeholder groups.

Summary: Spatial planning is widely used globally to protect biodiversity, promote sustainable resource use, and reduce conflict. However, the inclusion of fisheries data in spatial planning has been limited. This literature review highlights the need for better integration of fisheries data, considering diverse data sources, stakeholder needs, and matching spatial and temporal scales for effective management.

Summary: This study identified enabling and disabling conditions for marine spatial planning (MSP) through a literature review and expert discussions. The framework developed provides a comprehensive methodology for evaluating MSP outcomes and can stimulate discussions on the effectiveness of MSP, promote plan adaptation, and facilitate learning within the MSP community.

Summary: Designing effective spatial management strategies for marine ecosystems is challenging due to their complexity and uncertainties. This paper presents a modelling framework called marlin, which can simulate the bio-economic dynamics of marine systems efficiently. The framework can be used for both management and research purposes. The study demonstrates the capabilities of marlin through two case studies on marine protected areas (MPAs) and their impacts on conservation and food production. It shows how the framework can assess the distributional outcomes and climate resilience of different MPA design strategies and fishing fleets. The paper highlights the importance of intermediate complexity simulation in predicting and managing trade-offs among conservation, fisheries yields, and distributional outcomes of management policies affected by spatial bio-economic dynamics.

Summary: Research on small-scale fisheries (SSFs) has shown that ecological studies are mainly focused on marine fisheries in Latin America, while inland and Asian fisheries are understudied. There is more coverage on bony fish and invertebrates compared to endangered cartilaginous fishes. Recent studies have shifted focus towards human dimensions and ecosystem ecology, moving away from a previous emphasis on population ecology.

Summary: This paper contributes to the MSP discourse by studying the institutional barriers to effective MSP implementation using the case of Ireland. The research finds that the legislation, policies, and plans for MSP in Ireland lack coherence, and proposes intervention pathways to address the management and planning of contested marine areas.

Summary: Ocean grabbing, where traditional users are pushed aside by new development activities, must be prevented to maintain social equity. In tropical Atlantic countries like Brazil and Senegal, examples of ocean grabbing already exist. Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) could be an opportunity to prevent ocean grabbing, but also poses risks of increasing it. It requires caution to ensure equitable decisions and should take into account the specificities of the tropical Atlantic context.

Summary: The study findings suggest that the planned distribution of nature conservation and fisheries activities may become unsustainable due to climate change, leading to a shortfall in sustainability and blue growth targets. By identifying climate change refugia, hotspots, and bright spots, important opportunities for adapting to ecosystem changes and harnessing blue growth initiatives within marine spatial planning can be utilized to support sector-specific needs and sustainability goals.

Summary: This study evaluates the impact of considering ageing error and growth variability on the determination of input sample size (ISS) in statistical catch-at-age assessment models. The results show that including these sources of uncertainty decreases the ISS determined through bootstrap methods. This indicates that there is more variability in age composition and conditional age-at-length data than previously accounted for. Including these sources of uncertainty improves the estimation of ISS and subsequently improves the quality of stock assessment models.

Summary: Recent advances in genomics have greatly contributed to the assessment of fish stocks by providing precise identification of genetic boundaries. This study used a genotyping-by-sequencing approach to reveal the existence of an additional genetic cluster of blackspot seabream in the northeast Atlantic, which was not previously identified. Factors such as ocean circulation patterns and local upwelling may play a role in the genetic differentiation observed in this study.

Summary: Estimating growth is important for fish population assessment. Integrated assessment models and the influence of misfitting size composition data have renewed interest in how growth is modeled. The available data types control how the length-at-age relationship is estimated. Estimating length-at-age is complex due to multiple sources of biological variability and difficulties in obtaining representative samples.

Summary: This study examines the acoustic properties of skipjack tuna and Atlantic mackerel, both bladderless pelagic fish species, and explains the significant differences observed. The research shows that the differences in material properties of their tissues predict a more than 10 dB greater reduced target strength in skipjack compared to mackerel at certain frequencies.

Summary: Bycatch is a global problem for marine megafauna. This study assessed the bycatch interactions of the Peruvian artisanal purse-seine fishery in 2019 and found that all taxa groups were affected by bycatch. Dusky dolphins, guanay cormorants, and eagle rays were the most frequently reported bycatch species.

Summary: Small-scale fisheries are vital for global food security and cultural heritage, but the lack of information hampers effective management and mitigation of ecological impacts. This study provides the first comprehensive overview of the small-scale fishery fleet in Northern Cyprus. The fleet operates mainly over the continental shelf, using static and demersal gear types, and catches a diverse range of species, some of which are threatened. The findings can be used to improve fisheries management and conservation measures.
