Abstract

The changing nature of marine fisheries requires management approachesthat recognize and include ecosystem and environmental effects. Therefore, we review someexamples of exploited fishery stocks in which environmental control is a major contributorto structuring the abundance and distribution of the stock. Four examples, taken from studiesof northern cod (Gadus morhua), cod and haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) larvae,the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica), and Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), aregiven that clearly illustrate environmental control on the fishery. From these examples, weargue that future management strategies for exploited fisheries must include effects ofenvironmental variability. In particular, management strategies must be flexible enough toinclude delayed responses to environmental variations that result from the transfer of per-turbations from larger to smaller scales and vice versa.
