THEME SECTION

Drivers of dynamics of small pelagic fish resources: biology, management and human factors
Organizers: J. Alheit, M.A. Peck
Editors: J. Alheit, A. Bertrand, R.D. Brodeur, S. Garrido, M.A. Peck, M. Quaas, D. Reid, D. Robert, S. Somarakis, A. Takasuka, O. Thébaud, V. Trenkel

This Theme Section – by using a comparative approach – provides fundamental insights into (1) the biology of small pelagic fish (SPF), (2) the drivers of SPF dynamics, and (3) the socioeconomic impacts of SPF fisheries. Such insights are urgently needed for ecosystem-based management of these highly variable fish populations.
