Fishers’ Willingness to Support Management of the Engraulicypris sardella (Günther, 1868) Fishery in Lake Malawi

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite being the dominant catch in Lake Malawi and vital to local food systems, Engraulicypris sardella (Usipa) has experienced fluctuating catches over the past decade and remains vulnerable to collapse. Its poorly documented and understudied biological characteristics have raised debate about the legitimacy of its management, which has led ...

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

Comparing catch efficiency of five models of pot for use in a Newfoundland and Labrador cod fishery.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Sustainability of commercial fisheries is best achieved when fishing gears are selective and have low impacts on bottom habitat. Pots (baited traps) are a fishing technology that typically has lower impacts than many other industrial gears. In this study

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 ...

Assessment of the dolphinfish Coryphaena hippurus(Perciformes: Coryphaenidae) fishery in Pacific Panama

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2015
The dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus)is a highly migratory pelagic species commercially exploited by industrial, artisanal and recreational fisheries in tropical and subtropical areas of the world's oceans. Herein, we evaluated the dolphinfish industrial

Effects of the Invasive Round Goby on Swedish Recreational Fishing Values

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 694-705, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The round goby, an invasive fish from the Black and Caspian Seas, has spread to Swedish waters, threatening recreational fisheries. We modeled impacts on the future recreational fishery in Sweden using data from a recreational fishing survey, and estimated effects of the round goby on other fish species. Values attached to recreational fishing

Disentangling the Drivers of a Piscivorous Intra‐Annual Cohort and the Contributions of Three Cohorts to Early‐Year Class Strength in Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca)

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 784-798, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Using pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) as a model species, we investigated the factors influencing fluctuations in the abundance of piscivorous intra‐annual cohorts and assessed the role of three distinct cohorts: extremely small (ES), ordinary (or mid‐sized) fingerlings, and piscivorous in shaping year‐class strength.

A Process‐Based Theory of Fishing

Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 39, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The processes that lead to the capture of marine organisms in fishing gear are inherently complex, arising from interactions between the deployment of fishing effort, gear efficiency, and species‐specific demography and behaviour. A mechanistic understanding of these processes provides a principled basis for developing management approaches ...

Blue shrimp (Litopenaeus stylirostris) catch quotas as a management tool in the Upper Gulf of California

Ciencias Marinas, 2009
Within the buffer zone of the Upper Gulf of California and Colorado River Delta Biosphere Reserve (established June 1993), the shrimp fishery is managed as a common and rational use resource, trying to minize the impact of fishing effort on both the ...

Catch Composition of the bottom trawl fishery along the Coasts of Karataş-Adana (Northeastern Mediterranean Sea)

International Journal of Aquatic Biology, 2014
The catch composition of the bottom trawl fishery along the coasts of Karataş was evaluated in the 2002-2003 fishing season. A total of 110 species were registered, the fishes showed the highest diversity (90 species) followed by 15 crustaceans species ...
