The California lobster fishery and climate in the kelp bed ecosystem

Exploited stocks of the west coast of the Baja California peninsula inhabit in a complex habitat of rocky reefs characterized by high diversity of seaweeds in the kelp forest. In these fishing grounds, there is intense fishing activity, inducing changes in the structure of the benthic community, suc...
