| fishery-induced changes in the subtropical pacific pelagic ecosystem size structure: observations and theory. | we analyzed a 16-year (1996-2011) time series of catch and effort data for 23 species with mean weights ranging from 0.8 kg to 224 kg, recorded by observers in the hawaii-based deep-set longline fishery. over this time period, domestic fishing effort, as numbers of hooks set in the core hawaii-based fishing ground, has increased fourfold. the standardized aggregated annual catch rate for 9 small (<15 kg) species increased about 25% while for 14 large species (>15 kg) it decreased about 50% over ... | 2013 | 23620824 |
