Documented and Potential Biological Impacts of Recreational Fishing: Insights for Management and Conservation (2006, background): “The increased awareness that aquatic resources are not infinite (FAO, 1996; Cowx and Van Zyll de Jong, 2004) led to the view that sustainable fisheries management is globally needed in both commercial and recreational fisheries (Garcia and Staples, 2000; Arlinghaus et al., 2002a).”
Which community indicators can measure the impact of fishing? A review and proposals (2003, background): “An alternative approach is to examine multiple indicators to accumulate evidence (Garcia and Staples 2000; Rice 2000). However, this immediately raises the question of how to summarise the information provided by a set of indicators. To our knowledge, few methods are available. Garcia and Staples (2”
Trophodynamic indicators for an ecosystem approach to fisheries (2005, methodology): “Nevertheless, FiB is believed to provide a better indicator of ecosystem change than catch or catch composition, because of its integrative nature (Garcia and Staples, 2000).”
The functioning of marine ecosystems: a fisheries perspective. (2003, background): “A framework for defining sustainable reference systems and indicators is already being promoted (Garcia and Staples, 2000), and new, meaningful indicators can be used to assess the impact of fisheries on ecosystems Functioning of Marine Ecosystems 119”
Quantitative ecosystem indicators for fisheries management (2005, methodology): “of ecosystem indicators for sustainable fisheries development was undertaken by the Government of Australia in cooperation with the FAO, through a Consultation in Sydney in January 1999 (Garcia and Staples, 2000).”
From drawing board to dining table: The success story of the GIFT project (2004, background): “For management aimed at over-extraction, performance may be gauged relative to a norm, or “reference point” (Garcia and Staples 2000).”
Planning the use of fish for food security in the Pacific (2009, background): “Such indicators include changes in the density of target species per area of habitat, body size, catch per unit effort and the relative abundance of different trophic groups [64,65].”
An institutional framework for designing and monitoring ecosystem-based fisheries management policy experiments (2004, methodology): “The choice of evaluative criteria reflects the vision and objectives of actors within the fishery as well as broader societal interests; ecosystem-based fisheries management should therefore be broadly participatory in nature (Costanza et al., 1998; Garcia and Staples, 2000).”
Current usage of fisheries indicators and reference points, and their potential application to management of fisheries for marine invertebrates (2004, background): “Alternatively (FAO 1999; Garcia and Staples 2000; Gilbert et al. 2000), the categories may be reduced to a pressure–state–response (PSR) classification.”
Indicators to support an ecosystem approach to fisheries (2005, methodology): “Garcia and Staples (2000) listed the ideal qualities of a range of ecological, social and economic indicators in terms of scope, policy relevance, timeliness, accuracy and precision, scientific validity, consensual basis, formal (legal) foundation, adequate documentation, specificity,…”
