The species of hake, making up the genus Merluccius, are commercially important and currently largely over exploited, with many stocks badly depleted and showing only limited signs of recovery.
From the end of the 1990s, concepts such as sustainability, ecosystem-based approaches to fisheries management, a code for the responsible conduct for fisheries, governance and others have emerged or have been considered by politicians, stakeholders and society. Moreover, new tools for stock assessment have been developed. But many hake stocks of the genus Merluccius show no sign of restoration.
Hakes: Biology and Exploitation brings together a wealth of important information on the biology and exploitation of hake and hoki stocks around the world. Each chapter provides an overview of the fisheries of each species in an ecological and environmental context, looking at stock distribution, characteristics of the environment, life history, reproduction, diet, growth, mortality, pricing and markets of each geographical region and the hake species found there.
With chapters written by regional experts on hake species and included within Wiley-Blackwell’s prestigious Fish and Aquatic Resources Series, Hakes: Biology and Exploitation provides up-to-date and comparative information, including new approaches to fisheries management, for all those involved in fisheries management, aquatic ecology and biological sciences.

Figure 2.1 The distribution and abundance of
M. capensis
and
M. paradoxus
in South African waters. Contour plots of the densities (tonnes per nautical mile
2
) of the two species are derived (interpolated using kriging) from pooled data collected during summer (west coast) and autumn (south coast) surveys conducted over the period 2009–2011. The data from each survey were normalised to the mean of all surveys to account for interannual differences in overall biomass. The 100-, 200- and 500-m isobaths are also shown.
Figure 2.2 Growth of
M. capensis
and
M. paradoxus
. The curves are von Bertalanffy growth models fitted to gender-disaggregated size-at-age data derived from otolith samples collected during swept-area surveys conducted around the South African coast between 1983 and 2008. Key:

males (solid line) and females (dots);
M. paradoxus
males (broken line) and females (broken bold line).

M. capensis
and

(a) Total catches by species over the period 1917–2012 (histograms), with the TACs imposed subsequent to the declaration of South Africa's EFZ in 1977 (line). (b) Catches by sector over the period 1978–2012 (to improve clarity, the vertical axis starts at 80,000 t). Key panel up: grey =
Merluccius capensis
; white =
Merluccius paradoxus
; solid line = TAC. Key panel down: grey dark = handline; grey = longline; grey light = inshore trawl; white = deep-sea trawl.
Figure 2.5 The distribution of recent (year 2012) fishing effort of the hake longline, deepsea trawl and inshore trawl fishing sectors. In 2008, the hake trawl sectors voluntarily froze their ‘footprints’, and little if any fishing now takes place outside the areas demarcated. The longline fishing areas in the chart, however, illustrate the areas of greatest fishing effort; there is some longline fishing outside these areas, but most of the sets are within the demarcated areas. The 100-, 200-, 500-, 1000- and 2000-m isobaths are also shown. Note here that at a smaller scale than can be shown on this map, there are areas of rocky ground within the trawl areas where trawling is impossible but longlining is feasible.

All other surveys are used in the ‘summer survey’ time series. The combined biomass estimate for both species is currently used in the assessment.

Isobaths at 500 m (green line) and 1000 m (blue line) are also shown.
Figure 4.3 Estimated Bayesian posterior distributions of year-class strengths, from stock assessment models of the three southern hake biological stocks. The dashed horizontal line indicates the average year-class strength, that is, the long-term median year class strength as indicated from assessment modelling of each stock, standardised to equal 1. Individual distributions estimated for each year are the marginal posteriors, with horizontal lines indicating the median.

Note prevailing poleward flow on shelf and slope in winter (a), and prevailing equatorward flow between spring and fall transition (b–d.) Seaward of the shelf and slope, equatorward flow exists all year. Meanders and eddies are superimposed upon broad patterns, particularly during summer and fall. At bottom (Figure 9.2B), coast-wide average velocity section showing equatorward flow (negative) near the surface and the poleward (positive, shaded) undercurrent beneath during summer 1995.

Professor of Fisheries Policy and Ecosystem Restoration in Fisheries, Fisheries Centre, Aquatic Ecosystems Research Laboratory, University of British Columbia, Canada
The Wiley-Blackwell Fish and Aquatic Resources Series is an initiative aimed at providing key books in this fast-moving field, published to a high international standard.
The Series includes books that review major themes and issues in the science of fishes and the interdisciplinary study of their exploitation in human fisheries. Volumes in the Series combine a broad geographical scope with in-depth focus on concepts, research frontiers, and analytical frameworks. These books will be of interest to research workers in the biology, zoology, ichthyology, ecology, and physiology of fish and the economics, anthropology, sociology, and all aspects of fisheries. They will also appeal to non-specialists such as those with a commercial or industrial stake in fisheries.
It is the aim of the editorial team that books in the Wiley-Blackwell Fish and Aquatic Resources
Series should adhere to the highest academic standards through being fully peer reviewed and edited by specialists in the field. The Series books are produced by Wiley in a prestigious and distinctive format. The Series Editor, Professor Tony J. Pitcher, is an experienced international author, and founding editor of the leading journal in the field, Fish and Fisheries.
The Series Editor, and Publisher at Wiley, David McDade, will be pleased to discuss suggestions, advise on scope, and provide evaluations of proposals for books intended for the Series. Please see contact details listed below.
