“…Pelagic fisheries provide direct employment, both in coastal state small-scale fisheries and in the industrial fisheries, as well as indirectly through the supply chain (e.g. canneries in the coastal states; Weng et al, 2015). The UN Fish Stocks Agreement (Munro, 2000) specifically provides for protection of the interests of developing states and assuring that they do not carry a disproportionate burden of conservation.…”

“…Blue water fisheries can provide or impact food security, cultural and social support to local communities through food provision, employment and existence values (Vierros et al, 2020). Some area-based measures specifically protect local artisanal fisheries to safeguard food security (Hobday et al, 2015;Weng et al, 2015); typically banning industrial fisheries while maintaining access for artisanal fleets. In contrast, others ABMTs have been criticized for damaging local communities (Bennett et al, 2017).…”

The pelagic fisheries beyond the continental shelves are currently managed with a range of tools largely based on regulating effort or target catch. These tools comprise both static and dynamic area-based approaches to include gear limitations, closed areas and bycatch limits. There are increasing calls for additional area-based interventions, particularly expansion of marine protected areas, with many now advocating closing 30% of the oceans to fishing. In this paper, we review the objectives, methods and successes of area-based management of blue water fisheries across objectives related to food production and environmental, social and economic impacts. We also consider the methods used to evaluate the performance of area-based regulations andThis is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited and is not used for commercial purposes.

“…En las circunstancias actuales se dan crisis alimentarias prolongadas, especialmente en países de África Centro-Oriental, por lo que en un contexto de incremento poblacional y cambio climático se teme por el acrecentamiento de este problema (Naciones Unidas 2 , FAO 2016b). Weng et al (2015), señalan que para mantener la seguridad alimentaria en los países y territorios insulares del Pacífico, ante el incremento previsto de la población, será necesario un aumento de las capturas de túnidos tropicales. En esta línea, se considera a los túnidos un recurso esencial para la seguridad alimentaria mundial frente al incremento de la población mundial (HLPE 2014, Mullon et al 2017.…”

The term 'tropical tuna' refers to skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis), bigeye (Thunnus obesus) and yellowfin tunas (Thunnus albacares), which have a wide pantropical distribution. Tropical tunas inhabit waters with a sea surface temperature with an optimal value around 20°C. Currently, two of these species are among the 7 species with higher landings worldwide. In addition, it is expected that future tropical tuna stocks play a key role safeguarding food security. The aim of this paper was to review the studies about the effect of both climatic oscillations and global warming on tropical tuna populations. Moreover, it warns about the main challenges of fisheries biology in relation to the management of stocks of tropical tunas, an important fishery resource, in the context of climate change. For this, a review of studies that have addressed to date the effect of both climate oscillations and global warming on populations of tropical tunas was performed.

“…Interdisciplinary collaborations across all disciplines associated with socio‐ecological systems should be considered fundamental to any climate change adaptation plans and important for maintaining marine ecosystem services under global change (Table ; van Putten et al., ; Weng, Glazier, Nicol, & Hobday, ). For example, interdisciplinary research collaborations have the potential to reduce time‐lags between research and socio‐ecological responses to climate change being implemented (Pinsky & Fogarty, ).…”

The effects of anthropogenic global environmental change on biotic and abiotic processes have been reported in aquatic systems across the world. Complex synergies between concurrent environmental stressors and the resilience of the system to regime shifts, which vary in space and time, determine the capacity for marine systems to maintain structure and function with global environmental change. Consequently, an interdisciplinary approach that facilitates the development of new methods for the exchange of knowledge between scientists across multiple scales is required to effectively understand, quantify and predict climate impacts on marine ecosystem services. We use a literature review to assess the limitations and assumptions of current pathways to exchange interdisciplinary knowledge and the transferability of research findings across spatial and temporal scales and levels of biological organization to advance scientific understanding of global environmental change in marine systems. We found that species-specific regional scale climate change research is most commonly published, and "supporting" is the ecosystem service most commonly referred to in publications. In addition, our paper outlines a trajectory for the future development of integrated climate change science for sustaining marine ecosystem services such as investment in interdisciplinary education and connectivity between disciplines.
