Discounting anthropogenic-induced changes, the seasonally oscillating environments where long-lived fish hatch and grow remain more or less the same throughout the course of their lives. This means that the common explanation that states that fish become sexually active – or spawn for the first time – after experiencing certain environmental stimuli does not properly explain this phenomenon.
In February of 2020, the Sea Around Us Principal Investigator, Dr. Daniel Pauly, together with marine biologists Carlos Duarte and Terence Hughes, was notified of having been awarded the 2019 BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Ecology and Conservation Biology.
