Suspected microplastics in Atlantic horse mackerel fish (Trachurus trachurus) captured in Portugal
Microplastics have been found in fish, but most studies have focused on the digestive system without considering additional organs. Herein, the objective was to assess the presence of microplastics in internal organs (gills, guts, kidney, heart) of the Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) captured of the coast of Portugal (Northeast Atlantic ...

Institutional inertia in European fisheries – Insights from the Atlantic horse mackerel case [PDF]
Abstract Fisheries management has to deal with uncertainty about the genetic composition and the location of fish stocks. If institutions are inert, i.e. unable to adapt to new insights, management may not be effective. This paper analyses fisheries management in Europe which relies on scientific advice feeding into the management decision process ...

The effects of different artificial light wavelengths on some behavioural features of juvenile pelagic Atlantic horse mackerel, Trachurus trachurus (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Carangidae) [PDF]
Background. Atlantic horse mackerel, Trachurus trachurus (Linnaeus, 1758), is among bento-pelagic species subject to discard within deep-water rose shrimp fisheries, and how such species would react to light wavelength is therefore important, to be ...

Microplastic ingestion and diet composition of planktivorous fish
Planktivorous pelagic fish are susceptible to accumulating microplastics (MP), which have the same size range as their prey and accumulate in their feeding and spawning grounds.

Smoking Effect On Bacteriological Quality Of Atlantic Mackerel (Scomber Scombrus) And Horse Mackerel(Trachurus Trachurus) In South Benin. [PDF]
Fish is one of the most important sources of protein in South Benin. The fainting of hygiene in the processing and preservation process constitutes a potential danger to the consumer by the appearance of pathogenic germs. This study aimed to control the sanitary quality of smoked fish in the Littoral Department (Benin). Thus, data were collected on the

Population structure of Atlantic Mackerel (Scomber scombrus) [PDF]
Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) occurs on both sides of the north Atlantic and has traditionally been grouped into 5 spawning components, some of which were thought to be isolated natal homing stocks.
