Dynamics of Single Species

Group Report

  • Conference paper
Exploitation of Marine Communities

Part of the book series: Dahlem Workshop Report ((DAHLEM LIFE,volume 32))

Abstract

The group resolved to interpret its terms of reference by considering the following question: “How well can contemporary fisheries science detect, measure, interpret, and predict significant changes in the dynamics of single-species populations in the context of the broader span of marine ecosystems and having regard to both scientific and practical requirements?”
