Reproductive resilience: a paradigm shift in understanding spawner-recruit systems in exploited marine fish (2017, neutral): “…other than SSB, have been suggested for marine fish: increased reproductive value with age or the big old fat fecund female fish (BOFFFF) effect (Berkeley et al. 2004; Hixon et al. 2014), population structure (Frank and Brickman 2001; Fromentin et al. 2014) and diversity of spatiotemporal…”
Atlantic bluefin tuna: population dynamics, ecology, fisheries and management (2005, background): “…stock and the condition of the spawners of ABFT may affect the reproductive potential and viability of offspring as has been shown for some groundfish and rockfish (Cardinale and Arrhenius 2000; Marteinsdottir and Begg 2002; Berkeley et al. 2004a; Berkeley et al. 2004b; Bokko and Berkeley 2004).”
Role of habitat in mediating mortality during the post‐settlement transition phase of temperate marine fishes (2007, background): “However, some important indirect and maternal effects have been identified (Chambers & Waiwood, 1996; Marteinsdottir & Steinarsson, 1998; Cardinale & Arrhenius, 2000; Vallin & Nissling, 2000; Berkeley et al., 2004).”
Effects of protection from fishing on the lengths of targeted and non-targeted fish species at the Houtman Abrolhos Islands, Western Australia (2009, background): “Populations within MPAs certainly have older, larger and more fecund fish, capable of producing more larvae with greater survival potential than their smaller counterparts (Berkeley et al. 2004).”
The year-class phenomenon and the storage effect in marine fishes (2007, neutral): “…through interactions among year classes (overlapping generations), has only recently been discussed for marine fishes (Frank and Brickman, 2001; Berkeley et al., 2004) but the idea has been implicit in the way we understand marine population dynamics since Hjort and his team's discovery of the…”
Global variation in marine fish body size and its role in biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (2010, background): “…species as a consequence of exploitation suggest that rebuilding and preservation of these species and ecosystem-level size structures should be an explicit goal of fisheries management (see also Berkeley et al. 2004, Planque et al. 2010 for conservation approaches to rebuild size structure).”
Modelling of European hake nurseries in the Mediterranean Sea: An ecological niche approach (2015, background): “Understanding spatial patterns in population dynamics is a necessary prerequisite to protecting critical habitats, and thus ultimately in ensuring sustainable management of fishery resources (Berkeley et al., 2004; Caddy, 2000).”
Fast versus slow growing tuna species: age, growth, and implications for population dynamics and fisheries management (2017, background): “Fishing may also truncate the age structure of populations and reduce their age diversity by targeting certain ages preferentially, which is often the larger and older individuals (Berkeley et al. 2004).”
Reproductive Timing in Marine Fishes: Variability, Temporal Scales, and Methods (2011, background): “…studies even though demographic trends in spawning seasonality, spawning frequency, and fecundity have been reported (e.g., Murawski et al. 2001; Berkeley et al. 2004; Claramunt et al. 2007; Lowerre-Barbieri et al. 2009; Wright and Trippel 2009), and there is increased concern that some stocks…”
Defining a spawning population (spotted seatrout Cynoscion nebulosus) over temporal, spatial, and demographic scales (2009, background): “In other marine species, older females have been reported to initiate spawning sooner than younger cohorts (Berkeley et al. 2004).”
Spatial analysis shows that fishing enhances the climatic sensitivity of marine fishes (2008, background): “Conservation measures designed to maintain the age and spatial structures of fish populations should contribute to their sustainability (Berkeley et al. 2004).”
Spawning period of Mediterranean marine fishes (2010, background): “Thus, the spawning behaviour of a stock may play a major role in the mechanisms of bet-hedging productivity of the stock (Lambert and Ware 1984) and its resistance to adverse conditions (Secor 2000; Berkeley et al. 2004).”
Synergistic effects of fishing-induced demographic changes and climate variation on fish population dynamics (2011, background): “Finally, greater fecundity and larger egg size at older ages increase the offspring fitness (i.e. maternal effects), which has been demonstrated for various stocks and species (e.g. Berkeley et al. 2004a,b).”
