Evaluation of Catch Performance and Environmental Impact of Technical Gear Modifications for a More Sustainable Scallop Dredging Fishery

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Catch and environmental performance of modified scallop dredge designs were assessed. Skid belly bags increased scallop catch by 14%–19% and reduced gear wear. N‐Virodredge reduced catch of scallop juveniles and sorting time. Gear footprint on the seabed was reduced by 50% for skid belly bags. N‐Virodredge cut fuel use by 30%, reducing carbon emissions

The Evolution of Giant Clam Science: From Foundational Studies to Emerging Frontiers

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
This review synthesizes nearly two centuries of giant clam research, identifying dominant themes, knowledge gaps, and emerging opportunities. Ecology, physiology, aquaculture, genomics, and biomineralization dominate the field, whereas anatomy and biotechnology remain underexplored. Future progress requires stronger integration of genomics, physiology,

Dockside Shellfish Aquaculture Project, Smith, B [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The intent of this project was to train private dock owners and marina personnel how to deploy and maintain “spat collectors” under their docks in an effort to capture commercially important shellfish larvae, scallops and oysters in particular, with a ...

Diversity, Abundance and Distribution of Sharks in a Multispecies Nursery Area in the Eastern Central Atlantic

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Shark nursery habitats are priority targets for area‐based conservation as they protect key age classes that exhibit restricted area use. However, the lack of detailed, species‐specific biological and ecological data often undermines the efficacy of coastal management strategies. This study employed complementary Baited Remote Underwater Video

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 970-1002, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Assessing the variability and vulnerability of carbon function in coastal soft sediment ecosystems to inform protection

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract Coastal soft sediment ecosystems can sequester and process large quantities of carbon, making these environments important in mitigating the impacts of climate change. However, demersal fishing methods can resuspend sediment, releasing CO2, and in the longer term change the physical, biological, and biogeochemical characteristics of the ...
