A new record and biological evidence supporting the establishment of Beryx splendens (Actinopterygii: Beryciformes: Berycidae) in the western Mediterranean basin [PDF]
A new specimen of splendid alfonsino, Beryx splendens Lowe, 1834, was caught by trawling in July 2016 in the Ligurian Sea at the depth of 350 m, in the proximity of a submarine canyon. It represents the 10th documented record of B.

Design and Validation of an Open-Close Device for Integrated Environmental DNA Sampling Detects A Depth Gradient in Indian Ocean Deep-Sea Fish Assemblages. [PDF]
The goal of this study was to leverage existing survey technology to design and test an eDNA sampler that captures an integrated eDNA sample over the length of a deep‐water transect. We provide a biological interpretation of the resulting data, demonstrating the usefulness of such technology to understand the ocean environments, using fish species as ...

Length–weight relations of 15 deep-sea fish species (Actinopterygii) from the north-western African continental slope [PDF]
Length–weight relations (LWR) of 15 teleost fish species from deep waters off the NW African coast were estimated. In total, 4045 specimens, representing 12 families and 15 species, were caught and studied.

Abstract Large‐scale assessments of fish and shellfish populations may be valuable for identifying the impacts of fishing pressure on stocks, but they are rarely possible due to a lack of long‐term datasets. In this study, a two‐part mixed‐effect model for lognormal data was used to obtain historical abundance indices for 16 priority fish and shellfish

Abstract We develop a potentially widely applicable framework for analysing the vulnerability, resilience risk and exposure of chondrichthyan species to all types of anthropogenic stressors in the marine environment. The approach combines the three components of widely applied vulnerability analysis (exposure, sensitivity and adaptability) (ESA) with ...
