Methods of assessing extinction risk in marine fishes. (2004, background): “Comparability of threat criteria Possibly the most pressing issues for fisheries scientists to consider is (1) whether simple threat criteria, such as decline thresholds accurately reflect true risk of extinction in marine fishes, and (2) how threat criteria compare to standard fisheries reference p”
Emerging Issues and Methodological Advances in Fisheries Reproductive Biology (2011, background): “It has also been widely assumed that high fecundity confers greater resilience to fishing pressure, but most exploited marine species are highly fecund (Murua and Saborido-Rey 2003) and many are overfished (Sadovy 2001).”
The effects of size-selective fisheries on the stock dynamics of and sperm limitation in sex-changing fish (2004, background): “Size-selective (or age-selective) fisheries can impact a species through a decrease in spawning stock biomass, in general and through the removal of highly fecund larger and older individuals, in particular (Sadovy, 2001).”
Spawning period of Mediterranean marine fishes (2010, background): “This is because the selective removal of large females by fishing (Sadovy 2001), which are more fecund and produce better quality of eggs (Birkeland and Dayton 2005), decreases the reproductive potential of the stock (Conover and Munch 2002) and thus may affect future fishery yields.”
Dangerously few liaisons: a review of mate-finding Allee effects (2009, background): “For example, heavy fishing on spawning aggregations of reef fish results in the loss of knowledge of spawning sites and migration routes from the population, as well as disruption of spawning behaviour via the removal of dominant males (Sadovy 2001).”
Trophic structure patterns of Brazilian reef fishes: a latitudinal comparison (2004, background): “Most often, characteristics of the life cycle (e.g. long life span, ontogenetic migrations) and reproduction (e.g. sex reversal) make them highly vulnerable to even low levels of exploitation (Roberts, 1995; Coleman et al., 2000; Sadovy, 2001).”
Keep it simple: three indicators to deal with overfishing (2004, background): “There is increasing evidence that global fisheries are depleting natural resources much faster than these can replenish themselves (Sadovy 2001; Pauly et al. 1998; Christensen et al. 2003; Myers and Worm 2003).”
Comparison of threat and exploitation status in North‐East Atlantic marine populations (2005, background): “The AFS criteria assume high resilience in teleost fishes from high interannual variability and reproductive output, but these assumptions have no theoretical or empirical basis (Hutchings 2001a; Sadovy 2001; Denney, Jennings & Reynolds 2002; Hutchings & Reynolds 2004; Myers & Worm 2005).”
