Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

Reg Watson focuses on Fishery, Fishing, Fisheries management, Marine ecosystem and Ecology. His work on Fish stock and Marine conservation is typically connected to Oil consumption as part of general Fishery study, connecting several disciplines of science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Overexploitation, Marine fish, Exclusive economic zone and Environmental resource management in addition to Fishing.

His studies deal with areas such as Continental shelf, Sustainability, Overfishing and Ecosystem as well as Fisheries management. His work deals with themes such as Oceanography, Ecosystem-based management, International waters and Ecosystem services, which intersect with Marine ecosystem. His study in Ecosystem-based management is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Marine spatial planning, Spatial analysis, Ecosystem model and Marine ecoregions.

His most cited work include:

  • A Global Map of Human Impact on Marine Ecosystems (3991 citations)
  • Global Biodiversity: Indicators of Recent Declines (2945 citations)
  • Rebuilding Global Fisheries (1581 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Fishery, Fishing, Fisheries management, Marine ecosystem and Ecology. Reg Watson has included themes like Oceanography, Climate change, Sustainability and Ecosystem in his Fishery study. His studies examine the connections between Climate change and genetics, as well as such issues in Ecosystem model, with regards to EcoSim.

In his study, Maximum sustainable yield is strongly linked to Overexploitation, which falls under the umbrella field of Fishing. His Fisheries management research includes themes of Fish stock and Environmental protection. His Marine ecosystem research includes elements of Pelagic zone and Environmental resource management.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Fishery (64.64%)
  • Fishing (52.49%)
  • Fisheries management (25.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Fishery (64.64%)
  • Sustainability (20.99%)
  • Climate change (16.57%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Reg Watson spends much of his time researching Fishery, Sustainability, Climate change, Natural resource economics and Fishing. His work is connected to Invertebrate and Fisheries management, as a part of Fishery. The various areas that he examines in his Sustainability study include Agriculture, Food security and Food systems.

His Climate change research integrates issues from Indigenous, Food web and Environmental resource management. His research in Natural resource economics intersects with topics in Global biodiversity, Ecosystem, Food policy and Sustainable development. Reg Watson has included themes like Developing country, Resource, Marine ecosystem and Cost–benefit analysis in his Fishing study.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Food production shocks across land and sea (64 citations)
  • Progress in integrating natural and social science in marine ecosystem-based management research (23 citations)
  • Evolution of global marine fishing fleets and the response of fished resources (22 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

His main research concerns Sustainability, Climate change, Food security, Biodiversity and Fishery. The Sustainability study combines topics in areas such as Agriculture, Natural resource economics, Food processing and Food policy. His work carried out in the field of Climate change brings together such families of science as Population growth, Ecology, Marine ecosystem and Holistic management.

His work on Food systems as part of his general Food security study is frequently connected to Shock, Poverty and Social protection, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His study with Biodiversity involves better knowledge in Ecology. His Fishing fleet and Fishing study, which is part of a larger body of work in Fishery, is frequently linked to Effective management and Unit, bridging the gap between disciplines.
