  abstract = {{L}ow-trophic level species account for more than 30% of global fisheries production and contribute substantially to global food security. {W}e used a range of ecosystem models to explore the effects of fishing low-trophic level species on marine ecosystems, including marine mammals and seabirds, and on other commercially important species. {I}n five well-studied ecosystems, we found that fishing these species at conventional maximum sustainable yield ({MSY}) levels can have large impacts on other parts of the ecosystem, particularly when they constitute a high proportion of the biomass in the ecosystem or are highly connected in the food web. {H}alving exploitation rates would result in much lower impacts on marine ecosystems while still achieving 80% of {MSY}.},
