Notably, these impacts are occurring in the context of other anthropogenic-driven threats including global climate change. Both anthropogenic stressors and the COVID-19 pandemic represent significant economic challenges to aquaculture systems across the globe, threatening the supply chain of one of the most important sources of animal protein, with potential disproportionate impacts on vulnerable communities. A web survey was conducted in 47 countries in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic to assess how aquaculture activities have been affected by the pandemic, and to explore how these impacts compare to those from climate change. A positive correlation between the effects of the two categories of drivers was detected, but analysis suggests that the pandemic and the anthropogenic stressors affect different parts of the supply chain. The immediate measurable reported losses varied with aquaculture typology (land vs. marine, and intensive vs. extensive). A comparably lower impact on farmers reporting the use of integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) methods suggests that IMTA might enhance resilience to multiple stressors by providing different market options under the COVID-19 pandemic. Results emphasize the importance of assessing detrimental effects of COVID-19 under a multiple stressor lens, focusing on areas that have already locally experienced economic loss due to anthropogenic stressors in the last decade. Holistic policies that simultaneously address other ongoing anthropogenic stressors, rather than focusing solely on the acute impacts of COVID-19, are needed to maximize the long-term resilience of the aquaculture sector.","PeriodicalId":21183,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Fisheries Science & Aquaculture","volume":"30 1","pages":"123 - 135"},"PeriodicalIF":11.5,"publicationDate":"2021-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23308249.2021.1876633","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47597241","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}

Consequently, the wild population of sturgeon has decreased. This has shifted the balance of supply of caviar from wild sturgeon to more from farmed fish. The development of aquaculture has resulted in many technical advances of sturgeon rearing. The same factors that encouraged sturgeon farming have also stimulated the search for alternative products optimizing wild-sourced caviar utilization and even created some new market opportunities. Caviar substitutes have been obtained from at least 38 fish species (other than sturgeon) and aquatic animals, e.g., sea urchin, sea cucumber and snails. Although, the emergence of products has not always been positive, as the sturgeon caviar market has been impacted by commercial mimicry, fraud, and mislabeling of caviar-substitutes. This review provides information about the global production and trade of sturgeon, caviar, and caviar substitutes. In addition, the physics, gastronomy, and the quality changes of caviar and caviar substitutes during different fish-harvesting steps are discussed.

These seasonal changes can shift with the climate, resulting in mismatches between migrations and resource availability unless the populations respond through phenotypic plasticity or evolutionary adaptation. It is common, however, for factors unrelated to climate to affect phenology. Salmon are an exceptionally well-studied group of fishes whose breeding migrations can serve as a template to consider the complex factors affecting migration phenology. In this paper, hypotheses for explaining changes in adult salmon migration phenology are reviewed. Pathways through which climate change may influence migration timing are first summarized, including shifting migration cues, limiting freshwater conditions, changes in distribution and conditions at sea, and alterations in embryo development. Alternative causes of phenological change in salmon are then explored including anthropogenic modifications of river habitat, demographic effects, hatcheries, and fisheries. The effects of these factors on phenology can mimic and mask climate effects, making it challenging to disentangle the causal basis of observed patterns. Instead of inferring shifts from trends in timing data (as is often done), it is suggested that specific mechanistic hypotheses be proposed and tested rigorously, and alternative causes systematically ruled out. Overall, it is challenging to attribute causation to phenological change, but salmon exemplify the many ways in which migration timing can change, including shifts due to climate and other processes.","PeriodicalId":21183,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Fisheries Science & Aquaculture","volume":"29 1","pages":"769 - 790"},"PeriodicalIF":11.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23308249.2021.1874292","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44838468","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}

They are of increasing economic importance as evidenced by the rapid rise in their global landings from 1950 to 2014. Cephalopods are sensitive to environmental variability and climate change and many if not all species show wide fluctuations in abundance. This is most evident in ommastrephid nerito-oceanic squid since their life cycle is associated with boundary currents that are changing with climate change. The inter-annual variability in catch presents challenges for fishers and managers due to the ‘boom-or-bust’ nature of the fishery. A key barrier to rational management of squid fisheries is the low level of development of fishery forecasting. Despite substantial progress made in relating squid population dynamics to environmental variability and change, several challenges remain to develop forecast products to support squid fisheries management. Ideally, squid fisheries management needs a forecasting system that includes all time-scales of forecasting, and especially short - and medium-terms forecasts. The present overview first provides current knowledge of the effects of climate change and variability on squid population dynamics, challenges and opportunities to advance ecological-fishery forecast products, and finally a roadmap is proposed for future development of forecasts products to support squid sustainable fisheries management. As for the adoption of specific forecasting methods to the squid fishery management process, what is important is the relationship between needs, feasibility, and the ultimate success of a forecast will be determined by whether it is used by end-users.","PeriodicalId":21183,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Fisheries Science & Aquaculture","volume":"29 1","pages":"682 - 705"},"PeriodicalIF":11.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23308249.2020.1864720","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45454024","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}

A systematic approach was employed to search and select relevant published literature used in this review paper. The reviewed literature indicated the challenge of declining fish catches in several fishing communities, which was associated with climate change and variability. Changes in mean temperature, rainfall quantities and patterns, sea-level changes, water salinity, and lake levels affect fish productivity. Fishers in sub-Saharan Africa adopt different strategies to sustain their livelihoods and food security, which are being threatened by climate change. Adaptation strategies employed by fishers to cope with the impacts of climate change include, changing fishing gear, migration, targeting new species, and increasing fishing grounds and time spent fishing.

In this synthetic review, a practice-oriented framework is used to show that innovations which contribute to adaptation in the aquaculture sector include changes to the material, procedural and informational dimensions of practice. The material dimension is dominated by concerns with cost and competitiveness, whereas for the procedural dimension issues of skills and compliance arise, and for the informational dimension, key issues are trust, reliability and persuasiveness. A secondary classification into ten types of practices identified additional associations with adaptation mechanisms, for instance, technical practices are followed and adjusted to reduce and manage risks, while many infrastructural and technological practices aim to control rearing environments. Innovation has been driven more by concerns with increasing productivity, disease control, and food safety than extreme weather events and climate change. Nevertheless, many new practices have significant implications for adaptation. This study also shows that innovation and adaptation are timebound and face social limits, and these are better understood when different dimensions and types of practice, sources of innovation, and mechanisms of adaptation are distinguished.","PeriodicalId":21183,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Fisheries Science & Aquaculture","volume":"29 1","pages":"721 - 738"},"PeriodicalIF":11.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23308249.2020.1869695","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44861785","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}

Unlike marine fishes, a single consensual concept of terminology and definitions is lacking for freshwater fish fecundity. Several approaches are known from scientific literature for evaluating fecundity in batch spawning fishes of indeterminate fecundity and asynchronous oocyte maturation. These methodological differences impose a bias on the outputs of comparative studies of fecundity. For both theoretical and practical reasons, accurate fecundity data are required to inform the decision-making process in terms of environmental policy and the related applications for the control of non-native species and the conservation management of native species and ecosystems. The main aim of the present study was to review briefly the existing fecundity-evaluation methods, to test among-method compatibility, and to develop a new approach that aims to make fecundity evaluation more systematic and transparent. A simulated ‘test’ dataset demonstrated considerable variability in the results obtained from the various existing approaches. The literature review and our analyses revealed a need for standardization.
