The Ragfish, Icosteus aenigmaticus Lockington, 1880: A Synthesis of Historical and Recent Records From the North Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea [PDF]
Knowledge of the distribution and biology of the ragfish, Icosteus aenigmaticus, an aberrant deepwater perciform of the North Pacific Ocean, has increased slowly since the first description of the species in the 1880’s which was based on specimens ...

ABSTRACT Using pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) as a model species, we investigated the factors influencing fluctuations in the abundance of piscivorous intra‐annual cohorts and assessed the role of three distinct cohorts: extremely small (ES), ordinary (or mid‐sized) fingerlings, and piscivorous in shaping year‐class strength.

Little Evidence of Benthic Community Resilience to Bottom Trawling on Seamounts After 15 Years
The resilience and recovery dynamics of deep-sea habitats impacted by bottom trawling are poorly known. This paper reports on a fishing impact recovery comparison based on four towed camera surveys over a 15-year period (2001–2015) on a group of small ...

Unfinished Business: a Review of the Implementation of the Provisions of United Nations General Assembly Resolutions 61/105 and 64/72, Related to the Management of Bottom Fisheries in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction [PDF]
In 2006 the General Assembly adopted resolution 61/105, based on a compromise proposal offered by deep-sea fishing nations, which committed States and regional fisheries management organisations [RFMOs] to take specific measures to protect vulnerable ...

The Effects of Nutrient Additions on Kokanee in Dworshak Reservoir, Idaho
ABSTRACT We investigated the effects of whole reservoir nitrogen (N) addition on kokanee growth in Dworshak Reservoir, Idaho. We hypothesized that N addition would improve the growth of kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) at a given level of abundance by increasing the availability of Daphnia, an important food source.

ABSTRACT The movement ecology of Trachurus japonicus in the adult stage remains poorly understood because observing their underwater behavior over long periods is challenging. This study aimed to examine vertical habitat use by T. japonicus using electronic tags. Ninety fish were tagged and released in November 2022 in Tokyo Bay, Japan.

Reference points for assessing significant adverse impacts on deep sea vulnerable marine ecosystems
Biodiversity loss due to human activities is a critical issue, particularly in the High Seas where bottom-contact fishing poses a significant threat to Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs).

ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish and other forage species are patchily distributed over space and time, resulting in variable foraging conditions experienced by their predators. The high‐resolution data necessary to understand the spatiotemporal structure of forage communities are challenging to collect with expensive fishery‐independent surveys, meaning ...
