TL;DR: It is doubtful that pelagic fisheries will continue to increase without major disruptions to ecosystems, and predation on zooplankton by the jack mackerel in the South Pacific provides an example of the alteration of matter fluxes in trophic webs caused by fishery removals.

TL;DR: It is hypothesize that relations between annual recruitments and upwelling intensity are dome shaped in Ekman-type upwellings and linear for non EkMan-typeUpwelling, where upwelled intensity is not correlated with wind speed.

TL;DR: A threshold in prey abundance is identified below which seabirds experience consistently reduced and more variable productivity and provides an indicator of the minimal forage fish biomass needed to sustain seabird productivity over the long term.

TL;DR: It is concluded that marine reserves are a viable low-tech, cost-effective adaptation strategy that would yield multiple cobenefits from local to global scales, improving the outlook for the environment and people into the future.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review how exploitation, by altering the structure of populations and ecosystems, can modify their ability to respond to climate and show that demographic effects of fishing (removal of large-old individuals) can have substantial consequences on the capacity of populations to buffer climate variability through various pathways (direct demographic effects, effects on migration, parental effects).
