Contents:
1. Nothing as practical as a good theory -- I. Individuals -- 2. Size spectrum theory -- 3. Individual growth and reproduction -- II. Populations -- 4. Demography -- 5. Fishing -- 6. Fisheries-induced evolution -- 7. Population dynamics -- III. Traits -- 8. Teleosts versus elasmobranchs -- 9. Trait-based approach to fish ecology -- IV. Communities -- 10 Consumer-resource dynamics and emergent density dependence -- 11. Trait structure of the fish community -- 12. Community effects of fishing -- V. Epilogue -- 13. The size- and trait-based approach
Summary: Fish are one of the most important global food sources, supplying a significant share of the world's protein consumption. From stocks of wild Alaskan salmon and North Sea cod to entire fish communities with myriad species, fisheries require careful management to ensure that stocks remain productive, and mathematical models are essential tools for doing so. This book is an introduction to the modern size- and trait-based approach to fish populations and communities. It covers the theoretical foundations, mathematical formulations, and real-world applications of this powerful new modeling method, which is grounded in the latest ecological theory and population biology. It begins with fundamental assumptions on the level of individuals and goes on to cover population demography and fisheries impact assessments. The book shows how size- and trait-based models shed new light on familiar fisheries concepts such as maximum sustainable yield and fisheries selectivity—insights that classic age-based theory can't provide—and develops novel evolutionary impacts of fishing. It extends the theory to entire fish communities and uses it to support the ecosystem approach to fisheries management, and forges critical links between trait-based methods and evolutionary ecology. The book unifies the thinking in ecology and fisheries science and is an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to apply size- and trait-based models to fish demography, fisheries impact assessments, and fish evolutionary ecology.
