Indicators to support an ecosystem approach to fisheries (2005, background): “When few resources are available for management, simple indicators such as those proposed by Froese (2004) may be desirable.”
Stock assessment in inland fisheries: a foundation for sustainable use and conservation (2016, background): “Froese (2004) proposed three intuitive, size-based indicators that can be used to provide a semi-quantitative indication of the risk of overfishing: (1) percentage of mature fish in catch, with 100 % as target; (2) percent of specimens with optimum length (i.e., the length that maximizes yield per…”
An evaluation of an iterative harvest strategy for data-poor fisheries using the length-based spawning potential ratio assessment methodology (2015, methodology): “For example, Froese (2004) presented a simple method using the proportion of large fish in an exploited population as an indicator of stock status.”
Near real‐time spatial management based on habitat predictions for a longline bycatch species (2006, background): “Providing management support tools that address these issues is a challenge for fisheries science, given the complexity of assumptions and models that underlie some analyses (Froese 2004).”
Rethinking length-based fisheries regulations: the value of protecting old and large fish with harvest slots (2015, background): “For the base simulations, we did not consider any regulation that allowed harvest of fish shorter than length-at-maturation because harvesting fish before they reach maturity significantly increases the risk of overfishing (Myers and Mertz 1998; Froese 2004) and is usually not implemented as a recre”
Body size‐dependent responses of a marine fish assemblage to climate change and fishing over a century‐long scale (2010, background): “Truncation of the size-structure of target populations is one of the most commonly observed effects of commercial trawling due to the intrinsically size-selective nature of bottom trawls (Froese, 2004).”
Trends and management implications of human-influenced life-history changes in marine ectotherms (2016, background): “…rate is sustainable and maintains the adaptive 643 potential and demographic resilience of marine populations to rapid environmental change, the best 644 precautionary management option will be the one that protects life-history diversity and maintains larger 645 stock biomass (Froese 2004).”
