Molecular Identification of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus, Scombridae) Larvae and Development of a DNA Character-Based Identification Key for Mediterranean Scombrids. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, is a commercially important species that has been severely over-exploited in the recent past. Although the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean stock is now showing signs of recovery, its current status remains ...

Tuning the tools: Validating empirical and modelled correction factors for diet estimation in pelagic teleosts

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 2218-2233, July 2026.
Abstract As quantitative diet estimates from biochemical markers grow in popularity, the necessity for robust species‐ and tissue‐specific correction factors, including trophic discrimination factors (TDFs) for stable isotopes and calibration coefficients (CCs) for fatty acids, becomes increasingly urgent.

A Review of the Applications and Challenges of Pulsed Electric Fields in Fish Ecological Protection

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of pulsed electric fields (PEF) to regulate fish swimming patterns, especially during migratory channel restoration in dammed rivers, faces significant operational challenges. These challenges can generally be attributed to the multifaceted nature of fish behaviour and limitations in research on physical interception methods.

Methods to estimate marine functional connectivity: A primer

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.
Abstract Organism movement is a key process in the transfer of individuals, genes, functional traits, matter, and energy among habitat patches, at sea and across the land–sea interface. The resulting fluxes, collectively termed marine functional connectivity (MFC), underpin planetary health and an array of ecosystem services.

Paving the Way to Elucidate Hg's Role in Tumorigenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 30, 28 May 2026.
Tumorigenesis can result from diverse environmental carcinogens. Among them, mercury—a lifelong bioaccumulative Group 2B carcinogen—has tumorigenic potential that remains poorly understood due to confounding co‐exposures and limited organ‐specific data.

Automatic Bluefin Tuna Sizing with a Combined Acoustic and Optical Sensor

open access: yesSensors, 2020
A proposal is described for an underwater sensor combining an acoustic device with an optical one to automatically size juvenile bluefin tuna from a ventral perspective.

Morphology and Distribution of Olfactory Receptor Neurons in Southern Bluefin Tuna, Thunnus maccoyii (Teleostei): Implications for Olfactory Hydrodynamics

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 5, May 2026.
The number and distribution of olfactory receptors over the olfactory lamellar surface of four juvenile southern bluefin tuna were quantified using scanning electron microscopy. The microvillous olfactory receptors (mORN) are concentrated in the rostral region of the lamellar surface, while ciliated olfactory receptors (cORN), which are dominant in ...

Analysis of Sea Turtle Bycatch by Andalusia Pelagic Longline Fleet in the Northeast Atlantic

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 386-396, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Northeast Atlantic is one of the most crucial foraging grounds for juvenile loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea), while also serving as an important fishing area for the Andalusia surface longline fishery. The main aim of present study is to assess the sea turtle interaction with the Andalusia pelagic

DNA‐based identification of anadromous fishes (Alosa spp., Family Clupeidae) in stomach contents of marine groundfish

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 5, Page 1614-1626, May 2026.
Abstract Using DNA techniques for prey identification is an emerging approach for enhancing the precision and accuracy of trophic information. We evaluated the effectiveness of DNA‐based prey identification in conjunction with visual stomach content analysis of commercially important groundfish in the nearshore Gulf of Maine, with a focus on ...

Tuna labels matter in Europe: Mislabelling rates in different tuna products.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Tuna fisheries and processing represent economic activities of paramount importance around the world. Most of these products are traded for human consumption and in general are highly demanded commodities.
