Marine mammal population decline linked to obscured by-catch [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017
Significance Declines of marine megafauna such as turtles, pinnipeds, and whales are often related to mortality caused by capture or entanglement in fisheries gear. To help recovery of these species, trawl fisheries have implemented exclusion devices that release nontarget species.

Conservation Concerns of Small-Scale Fisheries: By-Catch Impacts of a Shrimp and Finfish Fishery in a Sri Lankan Lagoon

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
By-catch is considered a significant problem in large-scale fisheries yet in small-scale fisheries (SSF), employing >99% of the world's fishers, there is limited quantitative understanding of by-catch, and catches in general.

Diversity of Shallow-Water Species in Prawn Trawling: A Case Study of Malindi–Ungwana Bay, Kenya

Diversity, 2022
Bottom trawling is a common fishing method that targets bottom-dwelling fisheries resources. It is non-selective and large amounts of by-catch are discarded, raising serious sustainability and ecosystem conservation concerns.

Possibility of Carbon Dioxide Sequestration by Catch Crops [PDF]

Ecological Chemistry and Engineering S, 2019
AbstractThe global fluxes of carbon in the ecosystem of Earth, with particular attention drawn to the cycle of CO2were characterised. The sequestration of carbon dioxide in the biomass of plants, especially the ones which can be cultivated as catch crops is described.

Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).
