Abstract The mesophotic zone off Tanegashima Island (approximately 30–40 m deep) is a marine macroalgal hotspot in subtropical Japan; however, the taxonomic diversity of calcifying red algal community remains poorly understood. Our phylogenetic analyses based on psbA, rbcL, and COI‐5P gene markers disclosed the presence of at least 12 rhodolith‐forming

ABSTRACT The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a resident species along the Portuguese mainland coast, yet knowledge of its stranding patterns and feeding ecology is scarce. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of strandings (n = 264, from 1980 to 2019) and feeding ecology based on stomach content analysis (n = 43 from 1997 to

Bottlenose Dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, Removing By-catch from Prawn-trawl Codends During Fishing in New South Wales, Australia [PDF]
During a fishing trip to record video footage of fish escaping from a by-catch reducing device located in a commercial prawn trawl, two bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, were observed to actively manipulate the codend at the seabed, removing and ...

ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

The Fish Funnel: A Trawl Modification to Reduce Fish Escapement [PDF]
In the Gulf of Mexico there is a need to assess the potential of underutilized fish resource stocks before a commercial fishery develops. Standard sampling trawls used in the Gulf are ineffective for sampling the resource, so larger, high opening, bottom

The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Influence of seasonality of bottom trawl surveys on assessment of stocks for bottom fish
Reliability of the fish stock assessments is affected by many factors, including seasonal patterns of fish distribution and inhomogeneity of distribution density. Results of two bottom trawl surveys are compared, which were conducted in the same area of Peter the Great Bay (Japan Sea) and in the same year 2013 but in different seasons, as spring and ...

The Occurrence of Microplastic Ingestion in Commercial Marine Fish in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia
ABSTRACT Microplastics are polymer‐based particle compositions of various toxic chemicals with size less than 5 mm. Due to their small size, microplastics can be ingested and accumulate in body tissues of organisms. This raises concerns about their toxicity being transferred to humans via food consumption.
