Management Participants Perceive That Structural Barriers, Not Information Needs, Most Impede Adaptation in U.S. Fisheries Management

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 1151-1165, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Fisheries are facing increasingly frequent and severe climate change‐related stressors such as marine heatwaves, harmful algal blooms, and species distribution shifts. Many fisheries management bodies have been working to increase the capacity of their regulatory systems to adapt to these new conditions, but progress has been slow and ...

Inland Fishing Gear: Diversity, Classification, Management and Conservation Challenges

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This review highlights the diversity of fishing gear used in inland fisheries, particularly in small‐scale and artisanal fisheries worldwide. It focuses on gear regulation and management, emphasizing environmental impacts and associated conservation challenges, particularly the emerging problem of plastic pollution from fishing in aquatic ...

Bycatch mitigation from the sky: using helicopter communication for mobulid conservation in tropical tuna fisheries

Frontiers in Marine Science
The incidental capture of non-target species (bycatch) in tuna fisheries impacts some marine vertebrates, particularly species with vulnerable life histories such as manta and devil rays (mobulids).

Wolves in Bhutan Are Part of the Ancient Himalayan Wolf (Canis lupus chanco) Lineage

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
During Bhutan's nationwide snow leopard survey (2022–2023), putative snow leopard scat samples were collected, of which some were genetically identified as belonging to the wolf. Mitochondrial DNA analyses placed all Bhutanese sequences within the monophyletic Himalayan wolf clade and matched haplotypes previously reported from Nepal.

Evidence of a Potential Nursery Area for the Great Hammerhead Shark, Sphyrna mokarran, in the Largest Coral Reef System of the Southwestern Atlantic

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We present evidence suggesting that the Abrolhos Bank functions as key habitat for early life stages of Sphyrna mokarran. Kernel density estimation revealed spatially structured aggregations, with neonates and young‐of‐the‐year concentrated in shallow reef‐associated areas. Temporal variation in catch per unit effort (CPUE) indicated recruitment pulses

Overlap of nonbreeding wandering albatrosses with fisheries and implications for colony‐specific population trajectories at South Georgia

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.

Translocation of livestock‐raiding lions under specific conditions can mitigate conflict

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Human‐wildlife conflict is a pervasive threat that imperils many carnivore species worldwide, and although translocation is often used as a conflict mitigation strategy, it is widely regarded as ineffective. Here, we demonstrate that careful selection of suitable release sites can improve outcomes, as 80% of stock‐raiding lion translocations in ...

Fewer devil rays in the sea: Evidence of declining mobulid populations off India's coast

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Manta and devil rays are declining globally due to targeted and incidental capture, but species‐specific assessments are limited by unmonitored fisheries. Using morphometric, demographic, and fishery metrics, we show for the first time in India long‐term (2013–2023) declines in Mobula mobular, Mobula tarapacana, Mobula birostris, and Mobula thurstoni ...

LOCAL ECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE ON BYCATCH MITIGATION IN CROATIA

HydroMediT 2024 : 5th International Congress on Applied Ichthyology, Oceanography & Aquatic Environment : Book of Proceedings
Local traditional and ecological knowledge of fishers on bycatch and bycatch mitigation in Croatia was collected using the survey method to support the identification of existing, acceptable and applicable solutions for bycatch mitigation. In total, 30 responses were received.Fishers reported that it is possible to accidentally catch all targeted ...

High Cost and Low Trust: Insights From Qualitative Commercial Fishing Cost Data in the Northeast United States

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 665-680, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In fisheries management, socioeconomic data, specifically qualitative data analysis, is often underutilized. This study qualitatively analyzed a primary federal data collection effort in the Northeast United States, The Greater Atlantic Region Commercial Fishing Business Cost Survey.
