Fisheries Sustainability via Protection of Age Structure and Spatial Distribution of Fish Populations (2004, background): “At the population level, longevity ensures that there will be sufficient reproductive output for the population to maintain itself between favorable recruitment events (Longhurst 1999, 2002).”
From traits to life‐history strategies: Deconstructing fish community composition across European seas (2017, background): “High fecundity balances high pre-adult mortality while 352 longevity balances unfavourable periods for reproduction in typical poor environmental conditions 353 (Gunderson 1997, Longhurst 2002).”
The year-class phenomenon and the storage effect in marine fishes (2007, unknown): “Graphic and analyses from Secor (200 A large recruitment database of over 200 stocks of marine fishes (Myers, 2001) supported a recent analysis between recruitment variability and longevity (Longhurst, 2002).”
Fast versus slow growing tuna species: age, growth, and implications for population dynamics and fisheries management (2017, background): “In any case, RFMOs should consider, or at a minimum investigate, the risks of not conserving older fish, because the body of evidence on the importance of protecting the population age structure in exploited fish increases (Longhurst 2002; Birkeland and Dayton 2005; Fromentin 2006; Brunel 2010).”
Emerging from Hjort's Shadow (2008, background): “A diverse age structure that contains a high proportion of older spawners may be essential to assure long-term sustainability and resilience in marine fish stocks (e.g., Longhurst, 2002).”
An overview of recent global experience with recovery plans for depleted marine resources and suggested guidelines for recovery planning (2004, background): “Long-lived species have fared less well than short-lived, apparently requiring rebuilding periods of over a decade, and a long period of reproduction and the importance of older age groups emerge as adaptations for stock replenishment in fluctuating environments (e.g. Longhurst, 2002).”
Comparing rates of contemporary evolution in life-history traits for exploited fish stocks (2012, background): “63 Exploited fish stocks typically show truncated size and age distributions (Longhurst 2002; 64 Hutchings and Baum 2005; Hsieh et al. 2010) as a direct consequence of increased mortality, 65 facilitated by the size-selective nature of most fisheries, where the likelihood of capture 66 increases…”
Fishing effects on age and spatial structures undermine population stability of fishes (2009, methodology): “To elaborate how ATE may increase the variability of exploited population, we model an age-structured, multicohort population under fishing-induced age truncation as well as environmental stochasticity.”
On balanced exploitation of marine ecosystems: results from dynamic size spectra (2012, background): “This scheme is motivated by recent suggestions that there might be a benefit to fisheries of protecting large fecund fish, sometimes referred to as BOFFFFs (big old fat fecund female fish) (Longhurst, 2002; Scott et al., 2006; Wright and Trippel, 2009; Brunel, 2010; Hsieh et al., 2010).”
Shifting dynamic forces in fish stock fluctuations triggered by age truncation? (2011, background): “…marine environments are dominated by long-term fluctuations (Vasseur & Yodzis, 2004), consecutive years of poor environmental conditions are likely to occur, while age truncation decreases the ability of fish stocks to withstand those potentially prolonged periods (Murphy, 1968; Longhurst, 2002).”
A review of early life history dynamics of Barents Sea cod (Gadus morhua) (2014, background): “Many authors have expressed concern about the loss of old and large individuals as a consequence of the worldwide intense exploitation of many marine fish populations that has taken place during the recent decades (Law, 1991, 2000; Longhurst, 2002).”
