The History of the Brazilian Sardine (<i>Sardinella brasiliensis</i>) Between Two Fishery Collapses: An Ecosystem Modeling Approach to Study Its Life Cycle by Rafael Schroeder, Angélica Petermann, Alberto Teodorico Correia

“…During this period, a sharp drop in the primary production required to sustain the catches from 2012 onwards accompanied a significant fall in the biomass accumulation rate. This pattern was coincidental with the increasing mean temperature of the catches, which was probably acting as a limiting factor for the primary production, resulting in a higher natural mortality and flow to detritus. …”
