The selected indicators are presented, how they are calculated is explained, and the philosophy behind the comparative approach is given. The combination of selected indicators is intended to reflect different dynamics, tracking processes that display differential responses to fishing, and is meant to provide a complementary means of assessing marine ecosystem trends and states. IndiSeas relied on inputs and insights provided by the local experts from participating ecosystems, helping to understand state and trend indicators and to disentangle the effect of other potential ecosystem drivers, such as climate variability. This project showed that the use of simple and available indicators under an ecosystem approach can achieve a real, wide-reaching evaluation of marine ecosystem status caused by fishing. This is important because the socio-economics of areas where fishing activities develop differs significantly around the globe, and in many countries, insufficient data are available for complex and exhaustive analyses. specialized comparative approach ecological indicators ecosystem effects of fishing exploited marine ecosystems IndiSeas 040 020 Ices Journal of Marine Science 67 4 692-716 2010 1054-3139 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010049488 10.1093/icesjms/fsp294 1054-3139 [F B010049488] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010049488 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2010/05/010049488.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2010-06-02 2017-08-23 fdi:010049488 fre
