Overview

Karim Erzini is affiliated with the University of Algarve in Portugal and has contributed extensively to environmental science, with a strong focus on marine and fisheries research. Their research output covers various subfields including global and planetary change, ecology, management, monitoring, policy and law, nature and landscape conservation, and aquatic science.

The scientist's work often intersects with several main topics related to marine ecosystems and fisheries, specifically marine and fisheries research, coral and marine ecosystems studies, marine bivalve and aquaculture studies, coastal and marine management, marine animal studies, fish ecology and management studies, and ichthyology and marine biology.

Recent publications highlight Karim Erzini's continued engagement with issues such as climate impacts on marine species and fisheries as well as ecosystem management. Notable recent papers include:

  • "Changes in fish distribution in the eastern North Atlantic: Are we seeing a coherent response to changing temperature?" (2023), published in OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)
  • "First Assessment of the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Marine Recreational Fisheries" (2021), published in Frontiers in Marine Science
  • "Climate change vulnerability assessment of the main marine commercial fish and invertebrates of Portugal" (2021), published in Scientific Reports
  • "Assessing microplastic uptake and impact on omnivorous juvenile white seabream Diplodus sargus (Linnaeus, 1758) under laboratory conditions" (2020), published in Marine Pollution Bulletin
  • "Fisher's perceptions about a marine protected area over time" (2020), published in Aquaculture and Fisheries

Frequently co-publishing with Karim Erzini are Jorge M.S. Gonçalves, Mafalda Rangel, Kim Stobberup, Luís Bentes, and Pedro Monteiro, reflecting ongoing collaborative efforts within their research community.

Their publications appear in a range of venues, with a significant number of works in Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Fisheries Research, Frontiers in Marine Science, Marine Pollution Bulletin, and Scientific Reports.
