Routledge Food Chains, Yields, Models, And Management Of Large Marine Ecosystems

This Routledge publication examines food chains, biomass yields, and management strategies across large marine ecosystems through comprehensive case studies from tropical, temperate, and Arctic waters worldwide. The book compares multispecies biomass yield models tailored to different marine environments, providing researchers, marine biologists, and resource managers with evidence-based frameworks for understanding ecosystem dynamics. A central focus is adaptive management as a proven strategy for balancing the sustainability and productivity of living marine resources. Drawing on real-world examples from diverse geographic regions and climatic zones, this work bridges ecological theory and practical resource management, making it essential for anyone involved in marine conservation, fisheries science, or ecosystem-based management.
