Multispecies fisheries management and conservation: tactical applications using models of intermediate complexity (2014, unknown): “dependencies (Smith et al. 2011; Tyrrell et al. 2011; Pikitch et al. 2012).”
Small pelagic fish in the new millennium: A bottom-up view of global research effort (2020, unknown): “These fish also play a pivotal role in marine food webs by acting as conduits of energy from lower to upper trophic levels (Pikitch et al., 2012).”
The future of food from the sea (2019, unknown): “An estimated 63 percent of all wild-caught forage fish are used specifically for aquaculture feed and account for upwards of 1 trillion fish taken from the ocean annually valued at S17 billion (Pikitch et al. 2012).”
Most fish destined for fishmeal production are food-grade fish (2017, unknown): “Based on the cultural importance of marine mammals and seabirds, and the economic value of fisheries for high- trophic- level species (such as various salmons, cods and tunas), the sustainability of forage fish populations is important for these ecosystem functions (Pikitch et al., 2012).”
