An evaluation of the bottom trawl surveys in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem
Bjørn Erik Axelsen,Espen Johnsen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the technical specifications of the vessels and trawls used, examine effects of modifications on catching efficiency, and assess implications of these modifications over time, and find that the demersal trawl data collected in South Africa are not comparable with those of Namibia and Angola, and that the time series of Angola and Namibia contain inherent differences in terms of catchability of bottom dwellers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing changes in the distribution and range size of demersal fish populations in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem
Dawit Yemane,Stephen P. Kirkman,John Kathena,Silvi E. Nsiangango,Bjørn Erik Axelsen,Toufiek Samaai +5 more
TL;DR: Change in distribution and range size of several demersal fish species in the BCLME over the period 1985–2010, including both commercial and non-commercial fish populations are analysed to highlight the complex nature of the response of fish population to climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regime shifts in demersal assemblages of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem: a comparative assessment
Stephen P. Kirkman,Dawit Yemane,Dawit Yemane,L. J. Atkinson,Johannes N. Kathena,Silvi E. Nsiangango,Larvika Singh,Bjørn Erik Axelsen,Toufiek Samaai +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, changes in demersal faunal communities in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem were analysed at community and population levels to provide a comparative overview of the occurrence and timing of regime shifts.
