• Fishing down the deep (2006, background): “…the open ocean and a general decline in fish biomass has been reported (Baum et al. 2003; Christensen et al. 2003; Myers and Worm 2003): as a consequence, many marine species are of serious conservation concern (Casey and Myers 1998; Spotila et al. 2000; Baum et al. 2003; Sadovy and Cheung 2003).”
• Using fishers' anecdotes, naturalists' observations and grey literature to reassess marine species at risk: the case of the Gulf grouper in the Gulf of California, Mexico (2005, background): “We now know that these months fall within the Gulf grouper’s breeding period (Sala et al. 2003).”
• Passive Acoustics as a Tool in Fisheries Science (2008, unknown): “Indigenous peoples and Chinese fishers have used the sounds produced by spawning fish to “hunt” for fishing locations ( Sadovy and Chung 2003 ).”
• Endangering the endangered: The effects of perceived rarity on species exploitation (2008, background): “1997); ingredients for traditional medicine, e.g., bahaba ( Sadovy & Cheung 2003 )”
• Reef Fish Spawning Aggregations: Biology, Research and Management (2012, background): “University of California Press, Berkeley Spalding MD, Fox HE, Allen GR, Davidson N, Ferdana ZA, Finlayson M, Halpern BS, Jorge MA, Lombana AL, Lourie SA, Martin KD, McManus E, Molnar J, Recchia CA, Robertson J (2007) Marine ecoregions of the world: a bioregionalization of coastal and shelf areas.

• Climate change and capture fisheries: potential impacts, adaptation and mitigation (2009, background): “Extinctions of target fish species, even marine species with high reproductive outputs, are now thought to be possible (Sadovy and Cheung, 2003) while impacts on incidentally caught species and habitats also constitute a loss of aquatic biodiversity (Worm et al.”
• Mainstreaming Fish Spawning Aggregations into Fishery Management Calls for a Precautionary Approach (2016, background): “In East Asia, seasonal spawning aggregations are formed by the large yellow croaker (Larimichthyes crocea), once a major coastal fishery of China (Liu and Sadovy de Mitcheson 2008).”
• Methods of assessing extinction risk in marine fishes. (2004, background): “The giant yellow croaker (Bahabia taipingensis, Scianidae) was endemic to coastal China; but now is rarely captured throughout its known range despite continued targeted fishing effort (Sadovy and Cheung 2003).”
• Trade-offs between conservation and socio-economic objectives in managing a tropical marine ecosystem (2008, background): “Some vulnerable species, such as the Chinese bahaba (Bahaba taipingensis), were nearly extirpated locally while numerous other species were depleted or over-exploited (Sadovy and Cornish, 2000; Sadovy and Cheung, 2003; Cheung and Sadovy, 2004).”
• The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: an assessment of coral reef fishes in the US Pacific Islands (2013, background): “These characteristics include slow growth, long life span, late sexual maturation, group spawning, low replenishment rates, and low natural abundance (Reynolds et al. 2002; Sadovy and Cheung 2003; Tupper 2007; Sadovy de Mitcheson et al. 2008).”
• Global trends in world fisheries: impacts on marine ecosystems and food security (2005, background): “…is that in the sea, the high TL organisms tend to be larger (typically three to four times in terms of body length) than their prey (Ursin 1973), and need more time to reach maturity and reproduce (Denney et al. 2002), which renders them very susceptible to overfishing (e.g. Sadovy & Cheung 2003).”
• Synopsis of biological, fisheries and aquaculture‐related information on mulloway Argyrosomus japonicus (Pisces: Sciaenidae), with particular reference to Australia (2007, background): “Sciaenids are prone to overfishing (Sadovy and Cheung, 2003; Piner and Jones, 2004) and A. japonicus has been declared recruitment overfished in South Africa (Griffiths, 1997c) with spawning stocks reduced to 2.3% of unexploited levels (Anon, 2005).”
