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

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
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
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
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.

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
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

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 ...
