  abstract = {{U}nder the context of an ecosystem approach to fisheries ({EAF}), there is keen interest in providing insights into the evolution of exploited ecosystems using simple ecosystem indicators. {M}any nations have long-term scientific research surveys, originally driven by conventional approaches in fisheries assessment and management. {T}he aim of this study is to address the practical concerns linked to current objectives of monitoring simple {EAF} indicators, using data from surveys that were not historically designed for the purpose. {B}ased on the results of an expert survey designed to collect expert knowledge on research surveys from scientists working on different ecosystems worldwide, a list of challenges faced during indicator estimation is highlighted, along with associated concerns and constraints. {T}he work provides additional information useful in the interpretation of the results obtained on the state and trends of ecosystems using {EAF} indicators by the {I}ndi{S}eas {WG}. {F}urther, the related discussion provides potential pathways that could be useful for future research and development aiming to improve the ecosystem indicator approach in the operational context of {EAF}. {T}he question of the utility for {EAF} of using historical dataseries of scientific trawl series is also discussed. {S}uch long-term series are concluded to be useful, that they are even inescapable (since the past cannot be resamplied), and that {EAF} therefore brings a supplementary reason for continuing such monitoring and to incorporate new insights in how research surveys may be conducted.},
