Along with this analytical progress is evidence that many stocks lack data required for complex models, resulting in data-limited options for estimating abundance and reference points for some species. Additionally, for even traditionally exploited species, historical data before the mid-1900s is scarce, further limiting our understanding of long-term population trends. To address this paucity of data and historical time series, we used a Bayesian Stochastic Stock Reduction Analysis (BSSRA) model to estimate historical population biomasses utilising historical catch, a population growth rate (<i>r</i>) and values of carrying capacity (<i>K</i>). These BSSRA historical biomass estimates are developed using available landings records for three traditionally exploited species—Atlantic cod (<i>Gadus morhua</i>), Atlantic halibut (<i>Hippoglossus hippoglossus</i>), and Atlantic Menhaden (<i>Brevoortia tyrannus</i>). We compared the BSSRA-derived historical biomass trends with contemporary estimates from more data-intensive stock assessments to evaluate the performance of this data-limited approach. To assess shifting baseline syndrome, two different baseline years were used to evaluate how perceptions of stock status change over time and what implications this has for fisheries management. BSSRA models captured similar biomass trends to those in formal stock assessments and suggest that modern reference points may underestimate historical biomass by an order of magnitude. Integrating historical data through models like BSSRA can help set more realistic and ecologically meaningful baselines, enhancing recovery goals to the benefit of ecosystem-based fisheries management.</p>","PeriodicalId":169,"journal":{"name":"Fish and Fisheries","volume":"27 3","pages":"506-518"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/faf.70065","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146101370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microplastics are frequently ingested by marine organisms, including commercially important seafood species. Ingestion can lead to a range of biological effects, influenced by the size, type and quantity of plastic, as well as the species impacted. Despite rising concern, and an escalating body of literature, there has been limited synthesis of how microplastics effect seafood species and what this means for the fishing, aquaculture and seafood sectors. To address this, we conducted a systematic review of experimental studies assessing the effects of microplastics on seafood species. We identified 1107 relevant studies, with microplastics found to effect 95.2% of all specimens tested, though exposure conditions (e.g., polymer type and size, concentration and duration of exposure) varied widely. Reported effects included changes in behaviour, growth and development, immune and reproductive function, biomarker expression and mortality. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current evidence base, offering insight into the experiments conducted on seafood species such as bivalves, crustaceans and finfish, and their findings related to microplastic uptake, accumulation and health effects. By identifying patterns and gaps in existing research, we highlight opportunities to improve the design and focus of future studies. With a large body of research already established, it is critical that future experiments build strategically on existing knowledge, moving beyond understanding individual level effects to population and ecosystem consequences, to support the sustainable management of seafood resources and our broader marine environment.</p>","PeriodicalId":169,"journal":{"name":"Fish and Fisheries","volume":"27 3","pages":"591-606"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/faf.70071","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146198742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review synthesises recent advancements in CVAs, focusing on methodologies, geographic applications, stakeholder participation and their contributions to fisheries management. While many CVAs emphasise ecological or social dimensions, recent efforts have integrated these components, offering holistic insights into the vulnerabilities of fisheries as coupled socio-ecological systems. Key innovations include participatory approaches that incorporate expert knowledge and stakeholder input alongside advances in quantitative modelling and spatially explicit analyses. Our review highlights specific examples where CVAs have informed various management applications, such as species protection under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and the design of adaptive harvest strategies in Australia. However, barriers remain, including inconsistent methodological standards, limited uptake in nations with low-income economies and challenges translating CVA outputs into actionable policies. Looking ahead, developing generalised, integrated frameworks that bridge ecological and social dimensions, identifying ways to link CVA outputs to management guidance, and improving methodologies for data-limited contexts will all improve uptake and application of CVAs.

Although assessment models necessitate simplifying assumptions, there is increasing recognition to improve the integration of realistic biological and fishery dynamics. While ongoing and future development of increasingly complex stock assessments requires increased capacity (i.e., time, training, and personnel), there are concerns that the growing demand for assessment advice cannot be adequately fulfilled under current resources. To address these needs, we present the Stochastic Population over Regional Components (SPoRC) model, a modern integrated analysis platform that is generalized, modular and developed in a user‐friendly programming language (R with Template Model Builder, RTMB). Development of SPoRC emphasized consideration of age, sex, and spatial dynamics at the outset, while ensuring the ability to integrate diverse data sources (e.g., catch, abundance indices, age/length compositions and tagging). Moreover, state‐space specification of time‐varying processes through random effects and robust simulation capabilities were primary design features. Here, we highlight SPoRC's utility in cohesively implementing single‐and multi‐region applications, its ability to estimate time‐varying processes as random effects, and the potential to conduct closed‐loop simulations for evaluating the robustness of management procedures. By developing a generalized assessment platform in a user‐friendly R package, we suggest that SPoRC reduces barriers to implementation of next‐generation stock assessment models and facilitates team‐based model development, which will ultimately help improve the capacity to implement stock assessments globally.","PeriodicalId":169,"journal":{"name":"Fish and Fisheries","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147578123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, shifts in the composition of farmed species affect the sector's potential impacts on sustainable development. Because these impacts are partly driven by the biological traits of the farmed species, tracking changes in trait composition can reveal patterns in how aquaculture contributes to FCB outcomes over time. Here, we analyse spatial and temporal trends in aquaculture species' biological potential to support FCB objectives, using species‐specific food, climate and biodiversity indices derived from a traits‐based fuzzy logic model. We weight these scores by the annual production of major aquaculture species and compare average food, climate and biodiversity indices between taxonomic groups, major geographic regions and across three major time periods. Our results suggest that as aquaculture has intensified, production has increasingly favoured a handful of species with lower potential to achieve FCB goals and more trade‐offs between them since 1980. Improvements in growth rate and feed efficiency through selective breeding and developments in feed technology have likely improved aquaculture's FCB potential over time, but these advances carry trade‐offs and are limited to several key species and regions. Future aquaculture can reverse unfavourable trends through sustainable intensification of high‐scoring, currently‐farmed species and through diversifying production. Bivalves will be particularly important for future aquaculture, as they disproportionately contribute to FCB yet are underrepresented in global production.","PeriodicalId":169,"journal":{"name":"Fish and Fisheries","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147507856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, carnivorous aquaculture species such as salmon and seabass continue to rely on fishmeal and fish oil (FMFO), which are derived largely from pelagic fish that are sometimes key to the food security of some coastal nations. This reliance on wild‐caught resources fuels debates around the ethics, sustainability and socio‐economic impacts of transforming edible fish into feed. Despite growing concerns, traceability and transparency around the origin and composition of FMFO is limited, leaving feed ingredients largely invisible to customers, consumers and policymakers. We argue that this opacity erodes trust and hinders informed debate and conversation around the growth of aquaculture, its sustainability, and ethical concerns regarding just and equitable food systems. Here, we highlight how DNA metabarcoding of commercial feed samples offers a promising transparency tool by revealing a wide diversity of species, far beyond what labels disclose. If aquaculture is to demonstrate that it supports global food security, this blind spot around fish feed will need to be addressed urgently. Increased transparency on FMFO sourcing and composition could rebuild public trust, empower producers, consumers and regulators, and safeguard the livelihoods of coastal communities by ensuring a just pathway to aquaculture production.","PeriodicalId":169,"journal":{"name":"Fish and Fisheries","volume":"407 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147507855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Agentic AI can automate computing workflows and will increasingly be used in ecological modelling. However, the quality of AI generated results is of concern because of risks of logically flawed code and inconsistent answers. Here, we tested whether a general‐purpose AI agent (Roo Code) can write computer code and interpret results to complete three common ecological and fisheries modelling workflows: (1) fitting a von Bertalanffy growth curve to data, (2) writing code and interpreting results of a generalised linear model relating fish abundance to habitat and (3) completing a yield per recruit analysis. We used replicate prompts and a structured evaluation rubric to ask if the agents' results were accurate and if responses were consistent. The agent successfully completed all three tasks in some replicates; however, accuracy varied widely across replicates. Of the large language models we tested, Claude Sonnet 4.5 had the greatest accuracy and always produced accurate responses for the simplest modelling task, but was less consistently accurate for complex tasks. All models sometimes overlooked user instructions for which methods to use. Our findings show that agents can sometimes complete ecological and fisheries modelling, but that they are not yet consistent and accurate enough to rely on for management advice. We outline prompt designs and workflows that improve reliability and discuss the importance of ensuring human oversight for credibility of modelling that is used in management.","PeriodicalId":169,"journal":{"name":"Fish and Fisheries","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147489995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
