“…Fishing is one of the main anthropogenic pressures on marine fishes (Arthington, Dulvy, Gladstone, & Winfield, ) and has been found to have greater adverse effects on keystone species in the marine realm (Valls, Coll, & Christensen, ). Potentially associated with the keystone species concept, indicator species are often used in the management of marine ecosystems (Newman et al, ; Robinson et al, ), with these species often being selected based on a suite of ecological and life‐history characteristics (Beauchard, Veríssimo, Queirós, & Herman, ). Incorporating fish species life history and ecological traits, Cheung, Pitcher, and Pauly () used a fuzzy logic system to estimate the intrinsic vulnerability of a given fish species to local extinction, allowing prioritization of species for conservation and management.…”
