TL;DR: Balanced fishing across a range of species, stocks, and sizes could mitigate adverse effects and address food security better than increased selectivity and challenges present management paradigms.

TL;DR: The number of individuals with a given size is found to be proportional to the weight raised to the power −2.05, independent of the predator/prey size ratio, the first time the spectrum exponent has been derived solely on the basis of processes at the individual level.

TL;DR: The present study aims at disentangling the interactions between reproductive effort and hydrographic forcing leading to variable recruitment in the eastern Baltic cod stock using updated environmental and life stage-specific abundance and production time-series.

TL;DR: The framework allows food web models to include ontogenetic growth and life-history omnivory at the individual level by resolving the population structure of each species as a size-spectrum by synthesising traditional unstructured food webs, allometric body size scaling, trait-based modelling, and physiologically structured modelling.

TL;DR: This paper describes a stochastic dynamic model of growth and mortality of winter flounder larvae reared in the laboratory under experimental conditions and the results seem to be in fair agreement with larval behavior and the rates of grow and mortality observed in the lab.
