Evidence of stock connectivity, hybridization, and misidentification in white anglerfish supports the need of a genetics-informed fisheries management framework. [PDF]

Evol Appl, 2021
Abstract Understanding population connectivity within a species as well as potential interactions with its close relatives is crucial to define management units and to derive efficient management actions. However, although genetics can reveal mismatches between biological and management units and other relevant but hidden information such as species ...

Integrative taxonomy suggests hidden diversity within the fish genus Cyttopsis (Zeiformes, Parazenidae). [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Nine specimens of Cyttopsis rosea (Zeiformes: Parazenidae) were collected during scientific surveys at three different locations in the northeast Atlantic. All nine specimens were included in the molecular analysis, adding new cytochrome c oxidase subunit I sequences to public databases.

Methods to estimate marine functional connectivity: A primer. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Organism movement is a key process in the transfer of individuals, genes, functional traits, matter, and energy among habitat patches, at sea and across the land–sea interface. The resulting fluxes, collectively termed marine functional connectivity (MFC), underpin planetary health and an array of ecosystem services.

Complementarity and sensitivity of benthic state indicators to bottom-trawl fishing disturbance. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Many indicators have been developed to assess the state of benthic communities and identify seabed habitats most at risk from bottom trawling disturbance. However, the large variety of indicators and their development and application under specific geographic areas and management contexts has made it difficult to evaluate their wider utility ...

Biogeographical Regions and Climate Change: Lanternfishes Shed Light on the Role of Climatic Barriers in the Southern Ocean. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
We developed a method to predict how groups of species may shift with climate change by modelling biogeographical regions—areas with similar species. Focusing on lanternfishes in the Southern Ocean, we found two main regions separated by temperature. Because climate acts as a barrier, species within each region may respond similarly to climate change ...

Spatial variability of life-history parameters of the Atlantic chub mackerel (Scomber colias), an expanding species in the northeast Atlantic

Scientia Marina, 2022
Atlantic chub mackerel is a pelagic species present in the Atlantic Ocean that in recent decades has expanded northwards in the eastern Atlantic. Fish samples were collected in scientific surveys and commercial catches between 2011 and 2019. We analysed

Diet of striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) in southern Spanish waters

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 1566-1582, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Identifiable food remains were analyzed from 46 stomachs of striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) stranded in southern Spain between 2007 and 2014. Results suggest that the species feeds mainly on mesopelagic and neritic fish, but also on oceanic squids.

Fisheries‐based approach to disentangle mackerel (Scomber scombrus) migration in the Cantabrian Sea

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 443-455, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Mackerel is an important commercial pelagic species present in the western and eastern North Atlantic. The Northeast Atlantic Mackerel (NEAM) stock has its southernmost spawning area mainly located western Iberian Peninsula and southern Biscay. This species performs extensive annual migrations.
