Caption

This infographic shows how the scaling of reproductive-energy output in marine fishes affects our understanding of fisheries management, the efficacy of marine protected areas, and the impacts of climate change on fish stocks. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 11 May 2018 issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by D.R. Barneche at Monash University in Clayton, VIC, Australia, and colleagues was titled, "Fish reproductive-energy output increases disproportionately with body size."
