Grabowska-Popow, Małgorzata
The concept of a "blue economy" emphasizes conservation and sustainable management, based on the premise that healthy ocean ecosystems are more productive and a must for sustainable ocean-based economies. Also communication between a librarian and a reader should be healthy, should be more productive, should be ecological! The various types of “difficult readers” and “difficult librarians” are described. Diverse solutions for conflicts are proposed.

Book Art is the field of art that involves the creation of works that use structural and conceptual properties of books. The term also is used to describe works of art produced in this field. These works may contain text and/or images, or may be sculptural. Nowadays when the thesis of” the end of printed books is coming” gain in popularity, some artists think that book art can give the printed books “a second life”.

Different ecosystem models often provide contrasting predictions (model uncertainty), which is perceived to be a major challenge impeding their use to support ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM). The focus of this manuscript is to examine the extent of model disagreements which could impact management advice for EBFM in the central Baltic Sea. We compare how much three models (EwE, Gadget and a multispecies stock production model) differ in 1) their estimates of fishing mortality rates (Fs) satisfying alternative hypothetical management scenario objectives and 2) the outcomes of those scenarios in terms of performance indicators (spawning stock biomasses, catches, profits). Uncertainty in future environmental conditions affecting fish was taken into account by considering two seal population growth scenarios and two nutrient load scenarios. Differences in the development of the stocks, yields and profits exist among the models but the general patterns are also sufficiently similar to appear promising in the context of strategic fishery advice. Thus, we suggest that disagreements among the ecosystem models will not impede their use for providing strategic advice on how to reach management objectives that go beyond the traditional maximum yield targets and for informing on the potential consequences of pursuing such objectives. This is especially true for scenarios aiming at exploiting forage fish sprat and herring, for which the agreement was the largest among our models. However, the quantitative response to altering fishing pressure differed among models. This was due to the diverse environmental covariates and the different number of trophic relationships and their functional forms considered in the models. This suggests that ecosystem models can be used to provide quantitative advice only after more targeted research is conducted to gain a deeper understanding into the relationship between trophic links and fish population dynamics in the Baltic Sea.

Body size is a basic animal feature that defines its functioning in multispecies assemblages. Polychaetes arenumerically dominant components of marine macrobenthos, playing a key role in benthic productivity. Theyare also the most problematic group regarding body-size assessments due to common fragmentation of fragilebodies during sample processing that inhibits direct assessments of their size and biomass. Here, we presentquantified relationships that allow an estimation of the total-body length based on morphometric features(widths of thoracic chaetigers) that remain intact after standard macrobenthic sample treatment. The best-fittedregression equations (p< 0.001,rfrom 0.41 to 0.99) were selected for 28 polychaete families, six orders, twoinfraclasses, and one subclass based on the measurements on 3580 complete individuals collected in the NorthAtlantic (Norwegian and Spitsbergen fjords and continental margin). In Capitellidae, Cirratulidae, Oweniidae,and Trichobranchidae, the shapes of the relationships differed among dominant species/genera, and so, specificformula was proposed. The method has been applied to assess the size spectra of macrozoobenthos based on18 van Veen grab samples collected at six stations in two Spitsbergen fjords. The percentage contribution ofcomplete individuals in polychaete biomass and abundance in size classes varied between 0% and 43%, withthe lowest percentages noted in two dominant families—Cirratulidae and Lumbrineridae. The presentedmethod is likely to be widely applied in studies requiring polychaete individual size assessments (e.g., benthicbiomass size spectra, population dynamics, and secondary production).
