Managing and giving advice for mixed‐population fisheries of the same species can be challenging due to difficulties in predicting stock mixing, technical interactions, and in ensuring precautionary stock dynamics. Most fish species consist of several populations all of which need to be sustainably managed to preserve biodiversity and resilience to environmental changes, and to sustain productive fisheries. Mixing of populatio...

To effectively future-proof the management of the European Union fishing fleets we have explored a suite of case studies encompassing the northeast and tropical Atlantic, the Mediterranean, Baltic and Black Seas. This study shows that European Union (EU) fisheries are likely resilient to climate-driven short-term stresses, but may be negatively impacted by long-term trends in climate change. However, fisheries’ long-term stock...
