Citations in the corpus

• Extreme increases in natural mortality prevent recovery of collapsed fish populations in a Northwest Atlantic ecosystem (2015, background): “While overfishing persists in some populations, lack of recovery also reflects a decline in productivity (Shelton et al. 2006, Hilborn & Litzinger 2009).”
• Optimal growth temperature hypothesis: Why do anchovy flourish and sardine collapse or vice versa under the same ocean regime? (2007, background): “In particular, fishing pressure could prevent stock recovery when the spawning biomass was too low (Hutchings 2000; Shelton et al. 2006).”
• Impacts of environmental change and direct and indirect harvesting effects on the dynamics of a marine fish community (2008, methodology): “First, the functional forms of species interactions and population responses to environmental forcing do not need to be specified (Shipley et al. 2006).”
• Human Involvement in Food Webs (2010, background): “In the formerly cod-dominated systems still closed to fishing in the Northwest Atlantic, estimates of natural mortality are two to three times greater than historical, precollapse levels (134).”
• Multi-species regime shifts reflected in spawning temperature optima of small pelagic fish in the western North Pacific (2008, background): “Fish population dynamics could be regulated more or less by direct temperature impacts, since temperature would be a primary determinant of the early growth rates at large temporal and spatial scales (Meekan et al. 2003, Baumann et al. 2006, Takasuka & Aoki 2006).”
• Natural mortality: Its ecology, how it shapes fish life histories, and why it may be increased by fishing☆ (2013, background): “There is evidence that natural mortality has gone up in some heavily harvested stocks, for example some Atlantic cod stocks off Canada (Shelton et al., 2006; Swain, 2011; Swain and Chouinard, 2008).”
• Northern Cod Comeback (2015, background): “2004; Fudge and Rose 2008) and continued overfishing (Shelton et al. 2006), the potential importance of a lack of food, in particular capelin, has been repeatedly noted (Rose and O’Driscoll 2002; Davoren and Montevecchi 2003; Obradovich et al.”
• Spatial and temporal scales of adaptive divergence in marine fishes and the implications for conservation (2006, background): “Such effects are evident in wild stocks that have failed to rebound such as the Gulf of St Lawrence and Newfoundland Atlantic cod stocks (Sinclair et al., 2002; Shelton et al., 2006).”
• Why Should We Closely Monitor Fecundity in Marine Fish Populations (2008, background): “Such low empirical values of r for the NGSL cod stock are not unexpected and could be realistic since this stock which is still subject to a limited fishery has not shown any significant sign of recovery (Shelton et al., 2006).”
