Development of fuel saving bottom trawl
This paper was aimed at developing bottom trawl designs, for the Italian Fisheries that reduced fuel consumption. The new designs will include the use of new high strength material and the use of larger meshes in net areas where no negative effect on catching power is foreseen. It is essential that the new designs combine the features of large headline

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.

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 ...

ABSTRACT Yellowfin sole (Limanda aspera) support the largest flatfish fishery in the world and contribute substantially to the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) flatfish catch. The EBS has been warming and acidifying, trends that are expected to intensify into the future.

ABSTRACT Oceanographic and ecological conditions can be used to inform forecasts and decision‐making for marine resources, but the dominant drivers of recruitment variability remain poorly understood for many fish stocks. We developed a conceptual life‐history model of the oceanographic and ecological variables that influence the recruitment of ...

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
