  abstract = {{E}cosystem-based approaches to fisheries management ({EBM}) attempt to account for fishing, climate variability and species interactions when formulating fisheries management advice. {E}cosystem models that investigate the combined effects of ecological processes are vital to support the implementation of {EBM} by assessing the effectiveness of management strategies in an ecosystem context. {I}n this study, an individual-based ecosystem model was used to demonstrate how species at different trophic levels and of different life histories responded to climate regimes and how well different single- or various multi-species fisheries at different intensities perform in terms of human benefits (yield) and trade-offs (fishery closures) as well as their impacts on the ecosystem. {I}n addition, other performance indicators were also used to evaluate management strategies. {T}he simulations indicated that under no fishing, each species responded to the regimes differently due to different life history traits and different trophic interactions. {F}ishing at the level of natural mortality ({F} = {M}) produced the highest yields within each fishery, however, an {F} adjusted for the current productivity conditions (regime) resulted in much fewer fishery closures compared with {F} = {M}, indicating the advantage of implementing a policy of a regime-specific {F} from the stand point of conservation and fishery stability. {F}urthermore, a regime-specific {F} strategy generally resulted in higher yield and fewer fishery closures compared with {F} = 0.5{M}. {O}ther performance indicators also pointed to the advantage of using a regime-specific {F} strategy in terms of the stability of both ecosystem and fishery production. {A}s a specific example, fishing the predators of {P}acific herring under all multi-species fisheries scenarios increased the yield of {P}acific herring and reduced the number of herring fishery closures. {T}his supports the conclusion that an exploitation strategy which is balanced across all trophic levels produces better outcomes, as advocated by other researchers. {C}rown {C}opyright (c) 2013 {P}ublished by {E}lsevier {L}td. {A}ll rights reserved.},
