Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global fishery resources are facing multifaceted threats from overfishing, climate change, and habitat degradation, necessitating interdisciplinary approaches to advance their sustainable utilization. Bringing together cutting-edge research on fisheries dynamic models, ecosystem responses, climate adaptation strategies, and innovations in management policies, may foster the translation of scientific insights into practical management solutions. By exploring the relationships between multi-scale drivers and resource resilience, we are able to seek to provide theoretical foundations and actionable frameworks for sustainable fisheries management worldwide.
This Special Issue welcomes interdisciplinary contributions, including theoretical models, empirical analyses, and policy evaluations, to deepen the integration of fisheries science and management practices. Submissions may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Fisheries Population Dynamics Modeling: Predictive studies on stock dynamics, ecosystem modeling, and multi-species interactions.
- Climate Change Impacts: Mechanisms of ocean warming, acidification, and other climatic stressors on resource distribution, productivity, and ecological functions.
- Emerging Technology Applications: Case studies on AI, remote sensing, eDNA, and other technologies for resource monitoring and enforcement.
- Socioeconomic Drivers: Analyses linking market demand, fishing policies, community livelihoods, and resource sustainability.
- Management Strategy Evaluation: Effectiveness studies on ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM), marine protected areas (MPAs), and quota systems.
