14 pages, 4 figures Cephalopod biology is briefly surveyed in the context of cephalopod culture, considering its promises and limits. The motivations for undertaking culture work vary greatly, both in a basic and applied science perspective. Under most circumstances, the outcome of an experimental culture remains uncertain until a second generation is ...

ABSTRACT We investigated whether statolith microchemistry analysis could classify ommastrephid and loliginid squid species into fishery stocks. Statolith nucleus (early life stage) and edge (life stage at time before catch) of Illex coindetii (Verany, 1839) and Loligo forbesii (Steenstrup, 1856) from various areas of the North East Atlantic Ocean and ...

ABSTRACT We compiled 46 years of cetacean strandings in the Algarve, Portugal, describing temporal–spatial patterns, size–sex structure, and causes of death (COD). We analyzed national records and years with a dedicated regional stranding network (SN) to assess annual/seasonal trends, spatial hotspots, and compare biometrics and COD.

ABSTRACT This retrospective analysis explores how historical fishing activity (1948–2009) at French Frigate Shoals (FFS) can be examined in relation to the foraging ecology of Hawaiian monk seals. We bring together fisheries catch records, monk seal demographic information, and ecological studies on prey, competitors, and predators to evaluate ...
