• Feeding ecology of the white seabream, Diplodus sargus, and the ballan wrasse, Labrus bergylta, in the Azores (2005, background): “Thus, a reduction in the mean size of fishes, which is a typical consequence of fishing practices ( Stergiou, 2002 ), may significantly decrease predation over sea-urchin and could thus facilitate sea-urchin proliferation.”
• Stock enhancement as a fisheries management tool (2003, background): “With current shifts in fisheries management towards a broader ecosystem approach (Stergiou, 2002; Link et al., 2002), it is now appropriate to consider stock enhancement in a similar context.”
• Comparing rates of contemporary evolution in life-history traits for exploited fish stocks (2012, background): “Changes in yield and productivity can be linked back to changes in life-history traits, such as growth rate, length and age at maturation, and fecundity (Law and Grey 1989; Conover and Munch 2002; Stergiou 2002).”
• Towards sustainability in world fisheries (2002, background): “Fisheries-induced food-web simplification, combined with the drastic fisheries-induced reduction in the number of year classes in predator population”
• A global movement toward an ecosystem approach to management of marine resources (2005, result): “While we concur with the movement toward an ecosystem-based approach to the management of marine fisheries (Gislason & Sinclair 2000, Pitcher 2001, Stergiou 2002, Garcia et al. 2003, Sainsbury & Sumaila 2003, Browman et al. 2004, Pikitch et al. 2004), it is important to recognize that a broader,…”
• Prey depletion caused by overfishing and the decline of marine megafauna in eastern Ionian Sea coastal waters (central Mediterranean) (2006, background): “The creation of networks of marine reserves and no-take zones aimed at protecting resident and migratory fish stocks would be an appropriate second step (Agardy, 1997; Roberts et al., 2001; Stergiou, 2002).”
• Feeding habits and trophic levels of Mediterranean fish (2004, background): “Such a failure is realized from the highly diversified and complex effects of overfishing on the life histories of individual species and on the ecosystems in which these species are embedded (e.g., Jennings and Kaiser, 1998; Hall, 1999; Jennings et al., 2001; Stergiou, 2002).”
• The mangrove-based coastal and nearshore fisheries of Bangladesh: ecology, exploitation and management (2004, background): “With current shifts in fisheries management towards a broader ecosystem approach (Link et al., 2002; Stergiou, 2002), it is now appropriate to consider stock enhancement in a similar context.”
