Does depth divide? Variable genetic connectivity patterns among shallow and mesophotic Montastraea cavernosa coral populations across the Gulf of Mexico and western Caribbean. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
We assessed the population genetic connectivity of shallow and mesophotic Montastraea cavernosa corals using a 2bRAD sequencing approach across the Gulf of Mexico and western Caribbean. We found that there was generally significant genetic structuring between shallow and mesophotic depth zones and between the Gulf of Mexico and western Caribbean ...

Complex patterns of genetic population structure in the mouthbrooding marine catfish, Bagre marinus, in the Gulf of Mexico and U.S. Atlantic. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Abstract Patterns of genetic variation reflect interactions among microevolutionary forces that vary in strength with changing demography. Here, patterns of variation within and among samples of the mouthbrooding gafftopsail catfish (Bagre marinus, Family Ariidae) captured in the U.S.

Comparative population genomics of manta rays has global implications for management. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
Abstract Understanding population connectivity and genetic diversity is of fundamental importance to conservation. However, in globally threatened marine megafauna, challenges remain due to their elusive nature and wide‐ranging distributions. As overexploitation continues to threaten biodiversity across the globe, such knowledge gaps compromise both ...

True insights or ticking boxes? Rapid assessment of rights‐based management in artisanal fisheries

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 4, Page 338-352, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Rights‐based fisheries management (RBFM) seeks to create market incentives to reduce competition, avoid overexploitation, and increase economic efficiency. Particularly for artisanal fisheries, however, assumptions of RBFM may not be met and its use needs to be carefully considered. This study applies an existing tool (SEASALT) to evaluate the

Re‐estimation of juvenile Isurus oxyrinchus growth in the Mexican Pacific through a multimodel inference approach and verification of growth band periodicity

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 102, Issue 6, Page 1373-1386, June 2023., 2023
Abstract An update of the age and growth for juveniles of the short fin mako shark (I. oxyrinchus) from the Mexican Pacific is presented, based on the analysis of growth band counts from dorsal vertebrae of 198 individuals [110 females, 74–231 cm of total length (TL) and 88 males, 72–231 cm TL) caught during 2008–2018.

Longevity and Growth of the Crabs Callinectes sapidus and Callinectes rathbunae (Decapoda: Portunidae) in Paraíso Tabasco Mexico

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Individual growth models are important in fisheries of natural populations and can be incorporated in production models to estimate their maximum sustainable yield. Blue crab species, Callinectes sapidus and Callinectes rathbunae were obtained in the Mecoacán lagoon, Paraíso, Tabasco Mexico by “nasa” and “yahual” nets. Biometric values such as

Environmental Drivers of Jumbo Squid During Fishery Collapse in the Gulf of California (2019–2024)

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 477-491, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) is a cephalopod endemic to the eastern Pacific with significant ecological and economic importance. Its exploitation in the Gulf of California (GC) peaked in the 1990s, with catches exceeding 100,000 tons, but collapsed in 2009 and virtually disappeared by 2015, largely due to environmental changes and ...

Assessment of Exploitation Status and Biological Reference Points in a Data‐Limited Brown Shrimp (Farfantepenaeus californiensis) Fishery of the Gulf of California

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Shrimp fisheries in the Gulf of California underpin a major socio‐economic sector in Mexico, yet their assessment and management are constrained by variable population dynamics and limited species‐ and region‐specific information. For the brown shrimp (Farfantepenaeus californiensis), quantitative evaluations of exploitation status are scarce ...

Closing the Gaps: Integrating Biological, Ecological and Taxonomic Data to Support the Identification and Conservation of the Atlantic Pygmy Devil Ray (Mobula hypostoma)

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Atlantic pygmy devil ray (Mobula hypostoma) is an endangered mobulid species whose conservation is hindered by taxonomic confusion and significant gaps in ecological and life history knowledge. Here, we present an integrative study that clarifies the species' taxonomic status, updates its distribution and synthesizes new and existing data ...
