Modified sorting technique to mitigate the collateral mortality of trawled school prawns (Metapenaeus macleayi) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The potential for changes to onboard handling practices in order to improve the fate of juvenile school prawns (Metapenaeus macleayi) discarded during trawling were investigated in two Australian rivers (Clarence and Hunter) by comparing a purpose-built,

Marine Mammals in the Anthropocene: Developing a Systematic Evidence Base of Threats to Nineteen Species

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between threats and between species. There are knowledge gaps for species and threats, with effort unequal across many species' ranges.

Notes From the Era of Pre‐Modern Fishing in the Baltic Sea Reveal an Extensive and Resilient Fishing Mode

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT In the past half‐century, fishing in one regional part of the Baltic Sea, the Stockholm Archipelago, has almost disappeared due to falling fish abundance, especially of herring (Clupea harengus). By examining published observations and archived material on historical fishing patterns, we found evidence of a remarkably continuous high level of ...

Trophic Ecology of Loggerhead Turtles (Caretta caretta) in Southern Brazil: Insights From Stable Isotopes

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the trophic ecology of loggerhead turtles recorded stranded along the Paraná coast in southern Brazil. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes were analysed in muscle tissues from 20 loggerhead turtles and in 69 specimens representing 12 prey species (molluscs, crustaceans and teleost fishes).

What to Expect After a Commercial Fishery Ban? Long Term Fish Size and Biomass Trends in Two Productive Water Bodies With Contrasting Management Regimes

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Commercial fishing is often assumed to have greater impacts than recreational fishing, and many fisheries assessments overlook the latter. Yet, numerous coastal and freshwater fish populations are subject to both fishing types and environmental pressures, all influencing biomass, body size and community structure and making management outcomes

Hatching Success of Olive Ridley Sea Turtles in Semi‐Natural Nests: A Pilot Assessment of Microclimate Conditions at Batu Hiu Beach

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Our study investigates the environmental and astronomical drivers of olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) hatching success at Batu Hiu Beach, Indonesia. We demonstrate that air temperature is the dominant predictor of hatching outcomes, while Earth–Moon distance exerts an additional, significant influence independent of humidity and tidal effects ...

Pooled and Individual Bycatch Quotas: Exploring Tradeoffs Between Observer Coverage Levels, Bycatch Frequency, Pool Size, and the Precision of Bycatch Estimates

open access: yes, 2004
The North Pacific Ocean is highly productive, hosting many of the world's largest groundfish populations and supporting a thriving fishing industry. Numerous regulations have been implemented to control the incidental take of non-target bycatch. Individual and Pooled Bycatch Quotas have recently been proposed as instruments that could further encourage
