A Modified Gear Removal Index (GRI) Method to Support the Management of Abandoned Fishing Gear on Coralligenous Reefs

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Abandoned, Lost or otherwise Discarded Fishing Gears (ALDFG) have significant negative effects on marine ecosystems. In the Mediterranean Sea, the impact of ALDFG is particularly relevant on coralligenous reefs. The management of ALDFG focuses primarily on their removal, however this type of intervention may potentially damage the habitat, so ...

Regulating Uncharted Waters: The EU Platform Work Directive Between Uncertainty, Lobbyism and Politicisation

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract In 2024, the EU adopted a much‐debated directive on improving working conditions in platform work, which aims to facilitate the correct classification of people performing platform work and regulates the use of algorithmic management. The initiative attracted intense lobbying from digital platforms and trade unions, whilst dividing the member ...

Enhancing fish community monitoring at a cabled observatory by combining environmental DNA and imaging analysis

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cabled multiparametric observatories are sustaining ecological monitoring by collecting long‐term real‐time biological and environmental data. Here, we investigated fish communities by sampling environmental DNA (eDNA) over 4 days near the multiparametric cabled video‐observatory OBSEA (Northwestern Mediterranean Sea).

Shark preferences: Only subtle effects of electromagnetic field exposure and substrate type on small‐spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula) behaviour

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Offshore wind energy plays a crucial role in the transition to low‐carbon power generation. The expansion of offshore wind farms (OWFs) introduces anthropogenic electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from subsea power cables. Elasmobranchs, including sharks and rays, are sensitive to natural electric and magnetic fields used for navigation and prey ...

Catalyzing Conservation: An Analysis of Fish Stock Dynamics in a Marine Protected Area before and after Artificial Reef Deployment

Coasts
The marine ecosystem’s balance is crucial for sustaining biodiversity and supporting fisheries. Marine protected areas have been increasingly used to enhance marine habitats, yet their impact on fish populations remains a topic of debate.

The effects of playbacks of anthropogenic noise on the anti‐predator behaviour of Pacific sand lance, Ammodytes personatus

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Noise from human activities has increased and been shown to negatively impact marine animals. Marine mammals and fish are vulnerable to anthropogenic noise because they rely on sound to communicate, find food, avoid predators and sense their environment. Forage fish are small schooling pelagic fish, important to many predators and instrumental

The habitat use of ariid catfishes in coral reefs in northeastern Brazil

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ariidae species occur across a wide range of habitats from freshwater to fully marine environments and are typically associated with soft‐bottom substrates. However, they are sometimes associated with hard‐bottom substrates such as coral reefs, but such association is poorly documented.

State of the Reef Report 2004: Corals [PDF]

, 2004
The Great Barrier Reef is part of a global centre of coral diversity located in the Indo-Pacific and includes more than 70 hard coral (Scleractinia) genera. Coral reefs are a significant component of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area with over

Impact of light pollution on fishes: Mechanisms and ecological consequences

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing prevalence of artificial light at night (ALAN) is of growing ecological concern. By altering natural light regimes, ALAN affects the behaviour, physiology and life‐history of organisms. While research has largely focused on terrestrial ecosystems, aquatic ecosystems are increasingly exposed.

Hydrodynamic Performance of Cubic Artificial Reefs During Deployment Process Based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

Fishes
Currently, research on the hydrodynamic characteristics of artificial reef deployment still faces challenges such as insufficient environmental coupling, but accurate simulation of the deployment process holds significant engineering importance for ...
