Multiple Stressors and Ecological Response in Marine Fishery Ecosystems

This research topic focuses on the importance of functional diversity in coastal ecosystems, the impacts of marine ranching on fisheries, the suitable habitat and distribution of fish species, the influence of environmental variables on the distribution of small yellow croaker, the changes in zooplankton biomass and species abundance in the Changjiang estuary, the feeding habits and nutritional interactions of tuna species, the species diversity and distribution of crustacean larvae, the potential relationship between the relative abundance of skipjack tuna and climate indices, the functional redundancy and diversity of the fish community in the Pearl River Estuary, the carbon transfer efficiency of large marine ecosystems, the diversity distribution patterns of shark species, the spatio-temporal changes in small yellow croaker in the Bohai Sea, the spatial and seasonal distributions of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes in zooplankton, the trophic structure and energy flow between natural and artificial reefs, and the feasibility of strontium marking for the mass marking and release of Coilia nasus.

This research highlights the importance of functional diversity for ecosystem stability and delivery of ecosystem services, the negative impacts of increasing the biomass of one species on other functional groups, the suitable habitat and distribution of Harpadon nehereus, the influence of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation on the distribution of small yellow croaker, the rapid changes in LMZ biomass due to enhanced bottom–up support, the specialized feeding tendency of the three tuna species, the high species diversity of crustacean larvae in the Zhongsha Islands, the potential relationship between the relative abundance of skipjack tuna and climate indices, the functional redundancy and diversity of the fish community in the Pearl River Estuary, the high carbon transfer efficiency of large marine ecosystems, the conservation gap in the protection of shark species, the spatio-temporal changes in small yellow croaker in the Bohai Sea, the influence of terrigenous organic matter input and phytoplankton biomass on the δ13C and δ15N values of zooplankton, the overlapping trophic niches of sciaenid fishes, the positive effect of fisheries management policies on fishery resources recovery, and the feasibility of strontium marking for the mass marking and release of Coilia nasus.

This research further explores the geographic variation in functional evenness, the model to estimate
