Characterization of supply of marine finfish species with potential for commercial growth in the United States

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 54-72, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Global production of marine finfish has grown in total volume of production and the number of species farmed commercially, but there has been little production in the United States of marine finfish other than salmon and red drum. For most species considered to be ready for commercialization, there are few or no farms from which to evaluate ...

Length‐Weight Relationships and Relative Condition Factor of 53 Species of Shallow‐Water Fish in the Colombian Caribbean Sea

Journal of Applied Ichthyology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Length‐weight relationships (LWR) were described for 53 species of shallow‐water fish caught with bottom trawls in a depth range between 7.3 and 108.1 m during September 2013 in the Colombian Caribbean Sea (fishing area 31 of the FAO). A linear regression was performed using the logarithmically transformed data to calculate a and b coefficients and ...

Deciphering Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra L.) and seal (Phoca vitulina L.; Halichoerus grypus F.) diet: Metabarcoding tailored for fresh and saltwater fish species

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 19, Page 5089-5106, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Long‐lived top predators shape biodiversity structure in their ecosystems and predator–prey interactions are critical in decoding how communities function. Studies on the foraging ecology of seals and Eurasian otters in Western Europe are outdated and most studies solely performed traditional hard part analysis.

Nutritional grouping of marine forage species reveals contrasted exposure of high trophic levels to essential micro‐nutrients

Oikos, Volume 2022, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022
By transferring energy and nutrients from plankton to top predators, forage species play a major ecological role in marine food webs. While large differences in energy densities have been demonstrated among these species, other determinants of their quality remain poorly explored.

Trophic niche overlap between sympatric harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) and grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) at the southern limit of their European range (Eastern English Channel)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 15, Page 10004-10025, August 2021., 2021
There is a critical need for a better understanding of interactions between two sympatric seal species, the harbour and grey seals, considered as potential competitors. We identified here the overlap in trophic niches between these two species at the southern limit of their European range, in the Baie de Somme (Eastern English Channel, France).

Distribution of demersal fish assemblages along the west coast of St Lucia: Implications for planning no‐take marine reserves

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 31, Issue 6, Page 1354-1366, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Evidence‐based decisions relating to effective marine protected areas as a means of conserving biodiversity require a detailed understanding of the species present. The Caribbean island nation of St Lucia is expanding its current marine protected area network by designating additional no‐take marine reserves on the west coast.

On a record of the ambicoloured Engyprosopon valderostratus (Alcock) (Pisces: Bothidae) off Madras, India [PDF]

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1981

Connectivity of coastal and neritic fish larvae to the deep waters

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 66, Issue 6, Page 2423-2441, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Four ichthyoplankton cruises and backward tracking experiments were conducted to study the connectivity of coastal and neritic fish larvae over the continental slope and to the oceanic deep‐water region of the western Gulf of Mexico. Distribution patterns of larval abundance at oceanic stations showed higher abundance and the presence of ...

Drivers of reef fish assemblages in an upwelling region from the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 98, Issue 4, Page 1074-1090, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Reef fish assemblages are exposed to a wide range of anthropogenic threats as well as chronic natural disturbances. In upwelling regions, for example, there is a seasonal influx of cool nutrient‐rich waters that may shape the structure and composition of reef fish assemblages.

Large-Scale Spatial and Temporal Variability of Larval Fish Assemblages in the Tropical Atlantic Ocean

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2019
This study investigated the large-scale spatial and temporal variability of larval fish assemblages in the west tropical Atlantic Ocean. The sampling was performed during four expeditions.
