2. 1. Neolithic Fisheries : Osteoarchaeology of Fish Remains in the Baltic Sea Region

   Author : Carina Olson; Jan Storå; Karin LImburg; Jan Ekman; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Neolithic fisheries; local and regional ecosystems; species variation; burnt and unburnt bones; representativeness; contextual quantification; fishing technology; spatial patterns; Archaeology subjects; Arkeologiämnen; osteoarkeologi; Osteoarchaeology;

   Abstract : The variety of fish species found at the archaeological sites indicates the exploitation of local and regional ecosystems. The focus of the fisheries varies from site to site. READ MORE

4. 2. Fisheries Management under Individual Transferable Quota : Outcomes for Ecology and Equity

   Author : Maartje Oostdijk; Brynhildur Davidsdóttir; Gunnar Stefansson; Ingrid Stjernquist; Mary Wisz; Henrik Österblom; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fisheries management; Individual transferable quota; common pool resources; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Abstract : The management of marine resources pose a difficult commons problem as monitoring behavior is difficult and benefit flows from the resources are uncertain. Implementing individual transferable quota (ITQ) is a management regime in which quasi-property rights are assigned for an often mobile and uncertain environmental resource, fish or marine invertebrates.

5. 3. Multi-level Interactions between Fisheries and Trade : Modeling intertwined social-ecological systems

   Author : Laura G. Elsler; Schlüter Maja; Florian Diekert; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; multi-level interactions; social-ecological model; trade relationships; complexity; inequality in fisheries; fisheries sustainability; seafood trade; international markets; fisheries collapse; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : Sustainable and equitable fisheries are central for addressing the challenges of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water. International trade, once presented by Walrasian economists as a panacea for fisheries development, has not markedly decreased poverty and has been related to the overexploitation of marine species.

6. 4. Man, murres and modern fisheries : A case study in the Baltic Sea

   Author : Martina Kadin; Henrik Österblom; Olof Olsson; Carl Folke; Morten Frederiksen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Seabirds; ecosystem dynamics; fisheries; indicators; ecosystem services; Baltic Sea; common murre; common guillemot; Uria aalge; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

   Abstract : Overfishing and climate change put increasing pressure on marine systems, with effects on commercially targeted fish and top predators dependent on these resources. To achieve sustainable resource use, governance mechanisms need to incorporate knowledge about ecosystem dynamics. READ MORE

7. 5. Global patterns of international fisheries conflict

   Author : Jessica Spijkers; Henrik Österblom; Matthew Osborne; Tiffany Morrison; Graeme S. Cumming; Geoff Dabelko; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fisheries; conflict; environmental security; social-ecological systems; complex adaptive systems thinking; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : Are international conflicts over fishery resources a growing security concern? High-profile incidences of conflict, diminishing fishery resources and climate impacts on marine systems have made the international community increasingly wary of fisheries conflict. However, we lack knowledge on conflict incidences over time, as well as the contexts in which the conflicts occur, to assess if fisheries conflict is a growing security threat. READ MORE
