Assessment of Bottom Trawl Impacts on the Status of Seabed Communities in European Seas

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 285-299, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Bottom trawling affects seabed habitats, but its large‐scale impacts remain poorly quantified. Assessment of trawling impacts is essential to support monitoring and achieving sustainability objectives under international conventions, sustainable development goals, and seafood certification programs.

Acoustic Observations Unveil Seasonal Fluctuations and Regulation of Zooplankton Biomass and Its Vertical Distribution at a Mid‐Latitude Long‐Term Ocean Observatory

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Zooplanktonic organisms are considered a key link between different trophic levels. The ecosystem structure and dynamics are affected by changes in their population and phenology. In this work, the causes and timing of changes within the seasonal cycle of zooplankton biomass vertical distribution in oceanic waters of the Bay of Biscay were ...

Assessing the state of marine biodiversity in the Northeast Atlantic

Ecological Indicators, 2022
The Northeast Atlantic, a highly productive maritime area, has been exposed to a wide range of direct human pressures, such as fishing, shipping, coastal development, pollution, and non-indigenous species (NIS) introductions, in addition to ...

Demographic Parameters of Iberian Killer Whales Between 2011 and 2023

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The Iberian killer whale subpopulation was assessed as critically endangered (CR) by the IUCN red list of threatened species based on the available information until 2011 on its low abundance, high newborn mortality, and dependency on the endangered Atlantic bluefin tuna.

Using Benford's Law to Detect Possible Biases in Reported Catches of Tropical Tuna From the Indian Ocean

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 1, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Accuracy of catch landing data reported by captains of commercial vessels is crucial in the assessment of marine species stocks and in fisheries policy and management. However, this data can be subject to estimation biases, such as a tendency to inflate some catches (to the detriment of others) and refusal to fill in logbooks.

Community’s ecological traits reflect spatio-temporal variability of climate change impacts

Environmental and Sustainability Indicators
Climate change is triggering shifts in species distribution eventually altering communities' biogeography. The composition of a community in terms of its species' ecological niche informs of a community's response to environmental conditions and impacts,

Trait‐Based Indicators of Marine Communities' Sensitivity to Climate Change and Fishing

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Overexploitation of wildlife and anthropogenic climate change are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. Investigating how these stressors interact and affect ecosystems is critical for conservation efforts. Following trait‐based vulnerability assessments, we propose two community‐level sensitivity indicators: climate change (SCC) and ...
