An overview of recent global experience with recovery plans for depleted marine resources and suggested guidelines for recovery planning (2004, background): “According to Murawski (2000), ecosystem considerations provide little basis for defining optimal fishing per se, but should be ‘modifiers’ to existing single-species advice.”
Local depletion by a fishery can affect seabird foraging (2012, methodology): “An ecosystem-based definition of fishery management (e.g. Furness & Tasker 2000; Murawski 2000) should therefore (i) take into account the needs of the natural predators at the stock scale (e.g. Duffy 1983b), using for instance the ‘one-third for the birds’ rule (Cury et al. 2011) for defining the…”
Novel index for quantification of ecosystem effects of fishing as removal of secondary production (2008, methodology): “The ecosystems that were well-studied and had enough information available were evaluated with respect to their fishing pressure and categorised as overfished or sustainably fished ecosystems, based on the criteria proposed by Murawski (2000).”
Changes in the structure and function of the North Sea fish foodweb, 1973–2000, and the impacts of fishing and climate (2005, background): “Introduction The adoption of a more ecological approach to fisheries management requires the development of indicators of the current state of the marine foodweb and the environment, for comparison with baseline values (Murawski, 2000; Rice, 2000).”
Insight into the Trophic Ecology of Yellowfin Tuna, Thunnus albacares, from Compound‐Specific Nitrogen Isotope Analysis of Proteinaceous Amino Acids (2007, background): “There is general agreement of the importance of measuring changes in trophic structure as a means to evaluate fishery impacts on ecosystems, and ecosystem indicators that take trophic level into consideration are desirable (Gislason et al. 2000; Murawski 2000; Rice 2000).”
Overfishing of Inland Waters (2005, background): “In the second type, known as assemblage or ecosystem overfishing (Murawski 2000), overfishing of an assemblage is demonstrated when catches proceed beyond the asymptotic maximum of a plateau-type curve or decline below the asymptotic or plateau level.”
Cumulative impacts of seabed trawl disturbance on benthic biomass, production, and species richness in different habitats (2006, background): “…two decades has increasingly focused on the environmental effects of fishing on non-target fauna and marine habitats (Hall 1999; Sinclair and Valdimarsson 2003) and on ecosystem-based approaches to man- agement that take account of these impacts (Murawski 2000; Brodziak and Link 2002; Link 2002).”
The Theoretical Biologist's Toolbox: Quantitative Methods for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (2006, background): “As mentioned in the text, there are many other stock–recruitment relationships (a recent review – with both diagnosis and prognosis – is by Needle (2002)).”
Ecosystem-based fisheries management: some practical suggestions (2007, background): “, in a single-species context, one of goals of the PFMC for groundfish is to minimize the probability that any stock is depleted to below the overfished level of 25% of the unfished biomass; however, ecosystem goals related, for example, to quantitative representations of the metrics identified by M”
Long-term and spillover effects of a marine protected area on an exploited fish community (2009, neutral): “…observed coincides with studies that report high variability in catches near MPAs (e.g. Abesamis & Russ 2005, Goñi et al. 2006), while greater stability within the CIMR as suggested by MVDISP seems logical as greater year-to-year variation in yields is expected in perturbed systems (Murawski 2000).”
Indicators to support an ecosystem approach to fisheries (2005, background): “An EAF requires that managers take account of a wide range of fisheries impacts when setting objectives, and attempts to meet these objectives will need to be supported by reliable scientific advice and effective management decision making (Murawski 2000; Pope and Symes 2000; Link 2002; Sainsbury an”
Documented and Potential Biological Impacts of Recreational Fishing: Insights for Management and Conservation (2006, background): “There is a need to develop quantifiable ecosystem measures that not only characterize single species dynamics but also species interactions and nontarget species (Murawski, 2000), account for ecosystem resilience (Hughes et al.”
Multispecies fisheries management and conservation: tactical applications using models of intermediate complexity (2014, background): “Significant challenges remain, however, in determining and quantifying appropriate management objectives that take into account diverse societal goals or ecosystem metrics (Murawski 2000; Marasco et al. 2007).”
Dredging for edible cockles (Cerastoderma edule) on intertidal flats: short-term consequences of fisher patch-choice decisions for target and non-target benthic fauna (2007, background): “The clear outcome of this work is to support the application of a whole ecosystem approach to fisheries management (e.g. Kaiser et al., 2000; Murawski, 2000; Scheffer et al., 2005), with application of the wise use principle as advocated by European legislation.”
