Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges
Abstract The welfare of non‐human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current theoretical approaches to animal welfare and recent advances in defining and assessing fish welfare since the seminal paper by Huntingford ...

Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to provide an initial description of the embryology and larval development of Balistes capriscus species obtained from natural spawning in captivity. The study also aimed to assess the stocking density and the impact of offering four types of live food as the initial feed during the larviculture phase. Observations of

ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

We mapped non‐native reef fish "hotspots" across Hawaiʻi by combining species records with environmental conditions and nearshore access/infrastructure proxies to identify areas where multiple non‐native fishes are likely to co‐occur. We then projected hotspot patterns through 2100 under future ocean conditions, showing that Oʻahu and Hawaiʻi Island ...

Our findings show that management strategies can create fundamentally different seed dispersal regimes, even under similar environmental conditions. Anthropogenic diversification reshapes network organisation into distinct structural configurations, rather than consistently enhancing overall cohesion.
