Abstract

Despite contributing to healthy diets for billions of people, aquatic foods are often undervalued as a nutritional solution because their diversity is often reduced to the protein and energy value of a single food type (seafood or fish)1-4. Here we create a cohesive model that unites terrestrial foods with nearly 3,000 taxa of aquatic foods to understand the future impact of aquatic foods on human nutrition. We project two plausible futures to 2030: a baseline scenario with moderate growth in aquatic animal-source food (AASF) production, and a high-production scenario with a 15-million-tonne increased supply of AASFs over the business-as-usual scenario in 2030, driven largely by investment and innovation in aquaculture production. By comparing changes in AASF consumption between the scenarios, we elucidate geographic and demographic vulnerabilities and estimate health impacts from diet-related causes. Globally, we find that a high-production scenario will decrease AASF prices by 26% and increase their consumption, thereby reducing the consumption of red and processed meats that can lead to diet-related non-communicable diseases5,6 while also preventing approximately 166 million cases of inadequate micronutrient intake. This finding provides a broad evidentiary basis for policy makers and development stakeholders to capitalize on the potential of aquatic foods to reduce food and nutrition insecurity and tackle malnutrition in all its forms.

Abstract

Horizon scanning is a systematic approach increasingly used to explore emerging trends, issues, opportunities, and threats in conservation. We present the results from one such exercise aimed at identifying emerging issues that could have important scientific, social, technological, and managerial implications for the conservation of inland waters in Canada in the proximate future. We recognized six opportunities and nine challenges, for which we provide research implications and policy options, such that scientists, policy makers, and the Canadian society as a whole can prepare for a potential growth in each of the topic areas we identified. The issues spanned a broad range of topics, from recognizing the opportunities and challenges of community-enabled science and the need to consider the legal rights of nature, to the likely increase of pharmaceuticals in wastewater due to an aging population. These issues represent a first baseline that could help decision makers identify and prioritize efforts while simultaneously stimulate new research avenues. We hope our horizon scan will pave the way for similar exercises related to the conservation of biodiversity in Canada. L'analyse prospective est une approche systematique de plus en plus utilisee pour explorer les nouvelles tendances, questions, occasions et menaces dans le domaine de la conservation. Nous presentons les resultats d'un de ces exercices visant a cerner les questions emergentes qui pourraient etre importantes des points de vue scientifique, social, technologique et de la gestion relativement a la conservation des eaux interieures au Canada, pour l'avenir rapproche. Nous relevons six occasions a saisir et neuf defis, dont nous abordons les repercussions sur la recherche et les possibilites d'action qu'ils presentent, afin que les scientifiques, les decideurs et l'ensemble de la societe canadienne puissent se preparer en vue d'une croissance potentielle dans chacun des domaines cernes. Ces questions couvrent un vaste eventail de sujets allant de la reconnaissance des occasions et defis de la science facilitee par la collectivite et la necessite de prendre en compte les droits de la nature en vertu de la loi, a l'augmentation probable des produits pharmaceutiques dans les eaux usees en raison du vieillissement de la population. Ces questions representent un premier etat de reference qui pourrait aider les decideurs a cerner et prioriser les efforts tout en stimulant de nouvelles avenues de recherche. Nous esperons que cette analyse prospective ouvrira la voie a des exercices semblables concernant la conservation de la biodiversite au Canada.

12. Data for: Climate change adaptation and adaptive efficacy in the inland fisheries of the Lake Victoria basin

Author

Nyboer, Elizabeth

Abstract

Climate change threatens the livelihoods of fishers in the Lake Victoria basin (LVB). Here we share data from a survey of 207 fishing households across 5 fish landing sites in the Ugandan portion of the LVB. We gathered information on household demographics, assets, education, income, community cohesion, perceptions of climate change, livelihood diversification, adaptive strategies used, and the effectiveness of these strategies in improving income and food security in fishing households. We also calculated several indices to quantify households' access the five major elements of social adaptive capacity: assets, learning, flexibility, agency, and social organization. All data are shared in the below datasets along with metadata for ease of interpretation and re-use. Please contact the lead author (E. Nyboer - b.a.nyboer@gmail.com) with questions regarding the use of the data.

Abstract

Practitioners and policymakers working in environmental arenas make decisions that can have large impacts on ecosystems. Basing such decisions on high‐quality evidence about the effectiveness of different interventions can often maximize the success of policy and management. Accordingly, it is vital to understand how environmental professionals working at the science‐policy interface view and use different types of evidence, including evidence syntheses that collate and summarize available knowledge on a specific topic to save time for decision‐makers. We interviewed 84 senior environmental professionals in Canada working at the science‐policy interface to explore their confidence in, and use of, evidence syntheses within their organizations. Interviewees value evidence syntheses because they increase confidence in decision‐making, particularly for high‐profile or risky decisions. Despite this enthusiasm, the apparent lack of available syntheses for many environmental issues means that use can be limited and tends to be opportunistic. Our research suggests that if relevant, high quality evidence syntheses exist, they are likely to be used and embraced in decision‐making spheres. Therefore, efforts to increase capacity for conducting evidence syntheses within government agencies and/or funding such activities by external bodies have the potential to enable evidence‐based decision‐making.

Abstract

Successful incorporation of scientific knowledge into environmental policy and decisions is a significant challenge. Although studies on how to bridge the knowledge-action gap have grown rapidly over the last decade, few have investigated the roles, responsibilities, and opportunities for funding bodies to meet this challenge. In this study we present a set of criteria gleaned from interviews with experts across Canada that can be used by funding bodies to evaluate the potential for proposed research to produce actionable knowledge for environmental policy and practice. We also provide recommendations for how funding bodies can design funding calls and foster the skills required to bridge the knowledge-action gap. We interviewed 84 individuals with extensive experience as knowledge users at the science-policy interface who work for environmentally focused federal and provincial/territorial government bodies and non-governmental organizations. Respondents were asked to describe elements of research proposals that indicate that the resulting research is likely to be useful in a policy context, and what advice they would give to funding bodies to increase the potential impact of sponsored research. Twenty-five individuals also completed a closed-ended survey that followed up on these questions. Research proposals that demonstrated 1) a team with diverse expertise and experience in co-production, 2) a flexible research plan that aligns timelines and spatial scale with policy needs, 3) a clear and demonstrable link to a policy issue, and 4) a detailed and diverse knowledge exchange plan for reaching relevant stakeholders were seen as more promising for producing actionable knowledge. Suggested changes to funding models to enhance utility of funded research included 1) using diverse expertise to adjudicate awards, 2) supporting co-production and interdisciplinary research through longer grant durations and integrated reward structures, and 3) following-up on and rewarding knowledge exchange by conducting impact evaluation. The set of recommendations presented here can guide both funding agencies and research teams who wish to change how applied environmental science is conducted and improve its connection to policy and practice.

Abstract

Provisioning fisheries are distinct from recreational fisheries in that provisioning fishers are not primarily fishing for fun but are reliant on this activity for its multi-dimensional values and services. Often, recreational anglers practice catch-and-release, but will also harvest their catch for multiple reasons which may often be overlooked, including reasons beyond leisure such as cultural practices, contribution to livelihood strategies, offset food costs, and provide a healthy protein choice, among other motivations. We argue for researchers and managers to consider a potential modality, or even new class, of recreational fisheries that we term 'provisioning fisheries'. Provisioning fisheries are multi-dimensional and provide a combination of recreational, cultural, social, economic, identity and sense of place, health and wellbeing, and nutritional values to people accessing these fisheries. We propose that this modality should either be considered as part of the recreational fisheries portfolio to promote more sustainable and inclusive fisheries management as we hypothesize that angler behaviour and catch composition are distinct from more conventional recreational fishers. We put forward a research framework, along with a short synthesis of what we currently know about provisioning fisheries to encourage greater dialogue and investigation about a marginalized fishery to promote more inclusive and sustainable fisheries management.

Abstract

Across the Great Lakes basin, Indigenous and non-Indigenous agencies strive to protect and sustain healthy fish and water systems. However, the cumulative impacts of climate change and other human disturbances combined with historical and ongoing instances of environmental injustices towards Indigenous Peoples call for a shift away from current management paradigms towards structures that center meaningful collaboration and Indigenous leadership. Here, we present early outcomes from interviews with Indigenous and non-Indigenous fishery professionals who work with and for Indigenous agencies on the Laurentian Great Lakes. We assess experiences and perspectives from within these agencies to better understand what is needed to build meaningful co-management relationships among Indigenous and non-Indigenous agencies committed to safeguarding Great Lakes fisheries. We hope this research can help ready current and future fishery professionals to engage in just and effective approaches to fisheries decision-making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Subjects
SEA lamprey
Abstract

The control of invasive sea lamprey is a complex process that involves multiple sovereign nations and various jurisdictions throughout the Laurentian Great Lakes. Represented within this are diverse Tribes (U.S.) and First Nations (CAN) who have inherent rights to lands and waters and hold distinct perspectives, experiences, and visions for how the Great Lakes should be treated and cared for. These understandings and sources of expertise are currently underrepresented, and often actively excluded from decision-making processes around aquatic resources in the Great Lakes system. Research priorities, articulated in (and beyond) the literature, emphasize the need for Indigenous-led research and for Indigenous perspectives and values to inform decision-making and successful, equitable management of aquatic resources. A novel project seeks to document Indigenous perspectives and experiences with sea lamprey and their control within the Great Lakes. We will share this project's impetus and framing, and discuss early directions and outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Habitat-associated trait divergence may vary across ontogeny if there are strong size-related shifts in selection pressures. We quantified patterns of phenotypic divergence in Nile perch ( Lates niloticus) from ecologically distinct wetland edge and forest edge habitats in Lake Nabugabo, Uganda, and we compared patterns of divergence across three size classes to determine whether trends are consistent through Nile perch ontogeny. We predicted that inter-habitat variation in biotic (e.g. vegetation structure) and abiotic (e.g. dissolved oxygen concentration) variables may create divergent selective regimes. We compared body morphology using geometric morphometrics and found substantial differences between habitats, although not all trends were consistent across size classes. The most striking aspects of divergence in small Nile perch were in mouth orientation, head size, and development of the caudal region. Medium-sized Nile perch also showed differences in mouth orientation. Differences in large individuals were related to eye size and orientation, as well as caudal length. The observed patterns of divergence are consistent with functional morphological predictions for fish across divergent trophic regimes, high and low predation environments, and complex and simple habitats. Although this suggests adaptive divergence, the source of phenotypic variation is unknown and may reflect phenotypic plasticity and/or genetic differences. © 2013 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2013, 110, 449-465.
