DNA Divers: Volunteer‐based eDNA capture for local and global marine biodiversity monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2431-2447, October 2025.
Abstract Volunteer‐based biodiversity recording is a powerful source of scalable data yet to be used to its full potential by the scientific community. Coastal ecosystems are varied and diverse, making it difficult for managers to identify flexible methods for monitoring biological components.

Preliminary assessment of the ecological sustainability of a data‐limited small‐scale shark fishery in India

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2025.
We explored the ecological sustainability of an extremely data‐limited, small‐scale fishery for blacktip sharks (Carcharhinus limbatus) in Goa, India. We used an adapted expert elicitation approach, modified to suit local fishing communities, to collect data on shark catch, and develop exploratory population models. Our models revealed that the current

Zero‐shot shark tracking and biometrics from aerial imagery

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 2023-2035, September 2025.
Abstract The recent widespread adoption of drones for studying marine animals provides opportunities for deriving biological information from aerial imagery. The large scale of imagery data acquired from drones is well suited for machine learning (ML) analysis.

Using local ecological knowledge to identify shark river habitats in Fiji (South Pacific) [PDF]

, 2017
Local ecological knowledge (LEK) and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) have the potential to improve community-based coastal resource management (CBCRM) by providing information about the presence, behaviour and ecology of species.

Potential metabolic records in isotope signals of chondrichthyan hard tissues

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 3, Page 1001-1017, September 2025.
Abstract Recent advances have demonstrated that the field metabolic rates (FMRs) of teleost fishes can be quantified from stable isotope compositions of carbonate‐biomineralized otoliths. Bones and teeth, in addition to bioapatite, contain carbonate and should retain a similar isotopic expression of metabolic rate.

Overview of the Fish Diversity of Indian Waters [PDF]

, 2018
Fishing is one of the oldest human activities and it developed gradually, when our ancestors moved from the collection of plants and animals to hunting by using tools and weapons. The oldest fishing implements so far identified are harpoons, found in

Abundance patterns of reef sharks and predatory fishes on differently zoned reefs in the offshore Townsville region final report to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority [PDF]

, 2008
Sharks were counted in six 500 x 20 m transects on the slope of each reef during late March 2008. Densities of whitetip reef sharks (Triaenodon obesus) were twice as high on green reefs as on blue reefs but were twice as high on pink reefs as on green ...

Pelagic sharks by-catch in the tuna longline fishery of the Indian EEZ [PDF]

, 2002
Several species of pelagic and oceanic sharks are caught by the tuna longliners of FSI while surveying the oceanic tuna resources in the Indian EEZ. Though the sharks are not targeted species in tuna longlining, they constitute a major share of the ...
