Journal ArticleDOI
Projected Scenarios for Coastal First Nations' Fisheries Catch Potential under Climate Change: Management Challenges and Opportunities.
Lauren V. Weatherdon,Yoshitaka Ota,Miranda C. Jones,Miranda C. Jones,David A. Close,William W. L. Cheung +5 more
TL;DR: This study concludes by discussing corresponding management challenges that are likely to be encountered under climate change, and highlighting the value of joint-management frameworks and traditional fisheries management approaches that could aid in offsetting impacts and developing site-specific mitigation and adaptation strategies derived from local fishers’ knowledge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Projected amplification of food web bioaccumulation of MeHg and PCBs under climate change in the Northeastern Pacific.
TL;DR: A trophodynamic ecosystem model is applied to examine the bioaccumulation of organic mercury (MeHg) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in a Northeastern Pacific marine food web under climate change to find largely heterogeneous sensitivity in climate-pollution impacts between chemicals and trophic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
The future of fishes and fisheries in the changing oceans.
TL;DR: This paper explores some of the key responses of marine fish stocks and fisheries to climate change and their implications for human society and discusses potential opportunities for helping fisheries to reduce climate threats, through local adaptation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of computational tools for generating metagenome-assembled genomes from metagenomic sequencing data
Chao Yang,Debajyoti Chowdhury,Zhenmiao Zhang,William W. L. Cheung,Aiping Lu,Zhaoxiang Bian,Lu Zhang +6 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive survey of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) can be found in this paper, where the authors investigated the computational tools designed for both upstream and downstream analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Data-driven approach for highlighting priority areas for protection in marine areas beyond national jurisdiction

Moeller,Lance Morgan,Guillermo Ortuño Crespo,Malin L. Pinsky,Timothy D. White,Douglas J. McCauley +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a conservation planning algorithm was used to integrate 55 global data layers on ABNJ species diversity, habitat heterogeneity, benthic features, productivity, and fishing as a means for highlighting priority regions in ABNJ to be considered for spatial protection.
