Title
Integrated Ecosystem Assessments for Fisheries Management in the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the East/Japan Sea
Subject
Marine, Science, Sea, Fisheries, Ocean
Description
Marine environmental conditions are highly distinct in the Yellow Sea, the East China
Sea, and the East/Japan Sea, with characteristics such as the shallow and turbid conditions
of the Yellow Sea, relatively warm subtropical conditions of the East China Sea, and
deep and semi-enclosed nature of the East/Japan Sea. Physico-chemical properties and,
subsequently, biological characteristics are different among the three seas. In recent decades,
dramatic changes in the physical structure and vertical distribution of chemical properties
have been reported in the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the East/Japan Sea. These
recent environmental changes have greatly affected the physiological status, community
structure, and bloom pattern of phytoplankton and, thus, consequently altered the seasonal
distributions and nutritional status of higher trophic levels such as zooplankton, fish, and
marine mammals. However, to date, we do not know much about the current status of
the marine ecosystems in these three distinct seas. Since 2018, the integrated ecosystem
assessment for ecosystem-based fisheries management has been implemented in the Yellow
Sea, the East China Sea, and the East/Japan Sea by the National Institute of Fisheries
Science, Korea.
This Special Issue will provide basic information for the current status of the aforementioned
marine ecosystems and will form an important basis for future monitoring of
marine ecosystem response to ongoing climate changes in the Yellow Sea, the East China
Sea, and the East/Japan Sea.
In this Special Issue, we present a total of 12 articles covering a wide range of topics
for water column dynamics derived by the Kuroshio Current and various ecosystem
components in the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the East/Japan Sea. A brief overview
of all the articles follows.
