Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a cornerstone for conserving marine ecosystems. Legal instruments and directives have been put in place to foster conservation of species and habitats; among all, the development and implementation of a coherent network of effective MPAs. Spatial information on management measures and on regulated, forbidden or all...
Objective: This essay describes the experience and aspirations of women working in marine fishing in Barra de San Pedro, Centla, Tabasco, those who possess knowledge, ways of organizing their work materials, and timing in the development of fishing activities. Problem statement: Officially, women are rendered invisible, poorly recognized, and even ...
The rapid development of seafood trade networks alongside the decline in biomass of many marine populations raises important questions about the role of global trade in fisheries sustainability. Mounting empirical and theoretical evidence shows the importance of trade development on commercially exploited species. However, there is limited understa...

Marine chlorophyll a is a key molecule for photosynthesis of marine plants and some plankton, which is important in marine ecosystems. This study utilized the chlorophyll a concentration data product observed by the MODIS sensor (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) to construct a long-term sequence of chlorophyll a concentration dataset ...

Industrial structure adjustment is an important component of China’s supply-side structural reforms. This study examines the effect and action path of regional industrial structure transformation, through the lens of advancement and rationalization, on the economic fluctuation and quality of the marine fishery industry. The results show that region...
The CO2 emissions from marine fisheries have a significant impact on marine ecology, despite generally being overlooked in studies on global climate change. Few studies have estimated the carbon emissions from marine fisheries while taking into account all pertinent sectors. This study evaluated marine fisheries’ CO2 emissions based on three sector...
Commercial fisheries worldwide face growing demand, changing markets, resource limitations, and climate challenges, which makes them susceptible to perturbations and sudden declines. Historical reforms and diversification have stabilized fisheries, but increasing shock events threaten future adaptability. Marine aquaculture is emerging as a way to ...

Understanding the historical emergence and growth of long-range fisheries can provide fundamental insights into the timing of ecological impacts and the development of coastal communities during the last millennium. Whole-genome sequencing approaches can improve such understanding by determining the origin of archaeological fish specimens that may ...

Despite the apparent absence of physical barriers in the ocean to prevent dispersal, recent studies have highlighted the importance of biological, geographical, physical, and historical barriers in the genetic structuring of marine species populations. This representation is essential for the sustainable exploitation of natural marine resources and...

The Republic of Seychelles is one of six African Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and has a marine-based economy reliant on fisheries and international tourism. Seychelles has been flagged by the United Nations as highly vulnerable to climate change. Climatic threats are compounded with population declines of key fishery species. A progressive...
