• The spectre of uncertainty in management of exploited fish stocks: The illustrative case of Atlantic bluefin tuna (2014, unknown): “Although ICCAT has managed ABFT as two stocks since the 1980s, with the boundary between the two spatial units being the 45°W meridian, ABFT population structure remains largely unidentified [5].”
• Biogeography of tuna and billfish communities (2012, background): “As a consequence, the species assemblages in a given area might vary in a seasonal manner, depending on whether migrant reproductive adults are present (Fromentin & Powers, 2005).”
• Geographically and environmentally driven spawning distributions of tuna species in the western Mediterranean Sea (2012, background): “Currently, the major commercial fishery of tuna in the Mediterranean Sea consists of purse seiners explicitly targeting aggregations of reproductive eastern bluefin tuna adults (Fromentin & Powers 2005).”
• Diet of young Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in eastern and western Atlantic foraging grounds (2010, background): “Since 1980, distinct changes have occurred in the relative abundance, distribution, fisheries, and somatic condition of ABFT (Mather et al. 1995; Fromentin and Powers 2005; Golet et al. 2007).”
• The ‘shifting baseline’ phenomenon: a global perspective (2008, background): “As populations of these species decline, prices on the world market continue to grow (Fromentin and Powers 2005).”
• Expression of fatty acyl desaturase and elongase genes, and evolution of DHA:EPA ratio during development of unfed larvae of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus L.) (2011, background): “The 48 ABT fishery has become a highly profitable activity with the development of the sushi-sashimi 49 market in Japan increasing the demand for high quality fish, stimulating very high prices and, in 50 consequence, increasing regulated and unregulated fishing effort (Fromentin and Powers, 2005).”
• Overview of the conservation status of the marine fishes of the Mediterranean Sea (2011, background): “Of the commercially valuable species, Atlantic bluefin tuna has been undergoing heavy over-fishing for more than a decade (Fromentin and Powers 2005).”
• Preparation and Administration of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist (GnRHa) Implants for the Artificial Control of Reproductive Maturation in Captive-Reared Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus thynnus) (2007, background): “In the Mediterranean Sea, the species of greatest value is the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus thynnus) (Fromentin and Powers, 2005; Chow et al., 2006), a very close relative of the Pacific bluefin tuna (T.”
• Fast versus slow growing tuna species: age, growth, and implications for population dynamics and fisheries management (2017, background): “The seasonality in growth has been documented in tuna species making extensive latitudinal migrations (Eveson et al. 2004; Santiago and Arrizabalaga 2005; Fromentin and Powers 2005), but is rarely incorporated in their growth models (Eveson et al.”
• Life History and Stock Structure of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) (2007, background): “Several years of directed sampling in the central Atlantic have failed to find spawning condition T. thynnus, and ichthyoplankton collections in the central North Atlantic have not produced any T. thynnus larvae (Fromentin and Powers, 2005).”
• ICES meets marine historical ecology: placing the history of fish and fisheries in current policy context (2016, background): “North Sea herring (Clupea harengus) Loss of spatial diversity and stock resilience Extended time-series on key stock parameters to inform changes in spawning components and spatial diversity (Lescrauwaet, 2013) Data used to set local management targets, enhancing the potential for recovery of spatia”
