TL;DR: A series of case studies ranging from the combined use of structural and functional attributes of the system, to modelling outputs that integrate the biological and physical environments, illustrate the usefulness and complementarities of these methods to assess ecosystem health.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive evaluation of a variety of TL indicators across 9 well-studied marine ecosystems by making use of model- as well as survey- and catch-based TL indicators was conducted.

TL;DR: IndiSeas (Indicators for the Seas) as mentioned in this paper is a suite of indicators to quantify the effects of fishing on the broader ecosystem using several criteria (i.e., ecological meaning, sensitivity to fishing, data availability, management objectives and public awareness).

TL;DR: In this paper, stock-based and ecosystem-based indicators are used to provide a new diagnosis of the fishing impact and environmental status of European seas, showing that yields began to decrease everywhere (except in the Baltic) from the mid-1970s, as a result of the over exploitation of some major stocks.

TL;DR: Confidence in projections of changes in the distribution and productivity of living marine resources will be increased by assessing model structural uncertainty through biological ensemble modelling.
