The Scotian Shelf‐Bay of Fundy herring fisheries (NAFO Division 4VWX) is among Canada's oldest and drives this productivity, accounting for up to 75% of the total herring catch in some years. The stocks’ productivity and overall health have declined since 1965. Despite management measures to promote recovery implemented since 2003, biomass remains low and is declining. The factors that drive the productivity of 4VWX herring are primarily unresolved, likely impeding the effectiveness of management actions on this stock.",  "end_page": null,  "keywords": [    "Atlantic herring",    "climate change",    "ecosystem",    "ecosystem‐based",    "egg predation",    "exploitation"  ],  "subjects": [    "Ecology"  ],  "start_page": null,  "fulltext_url": "https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.8411",  "journal_issn": null,  "journal_title": "Ecology and Evolution"}
