Fisher Behavior While Illegally Fishing for Atlantic Goliath Grouper (Epinephelus itajara, Epinephelinae) on the Amazon Continental Shelf, Brazil

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2002, the Brazilian government banned fishing for Goliath grouper, Epinephelus itajara (Lichtenstein, 1822), through 2007. This grouper was the first fish species targeted by a specific law in Brazilian environmental legislation. Grouper stocks showed no signs of recovery, so the ban was renewed multiple times since 2007. Official estimates

20 Years Later: Updated Stock Assessment of Snappers in Northeast Brazil Using an Integrated Stock Assessment Framework

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We updated the stock status of Lutjanus analis, Lutjanus jocu, Lutjanus synagris, and Ocyurus chrysurus harvested along the Brazilian northeastern coast. Stock boundaries were defined according to the Marine Ecoregion classifications at a finer scale, to reflect the population structure of each species.

A blacktip's black tip: The reliability of using dorsal‐fin patterns for photo identification of blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Photo identification (photo ID) has increasingly become a valuable technique serving not only to identify individual animals but also to monitor populations, track migration patterns and assess wildlife health, among others uses. Various species of sharks are amenable to photo ID, among which the blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus)

Assessing community values for reducing agricultural emissions to improve water quality and protect coral health in the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]

Key policy issues relating to protection of the Great Barrier Reef from pollutants generated by agriculture are to identify when measures to improve water quality generate benefits to society that outweigh the costs of reducing pollutants.

A seasonal aggregation of juvenile scalloped hammerheads Sphyrna lewini along beaches of the Gold Coast, Australia

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract We document a recurring seasonal aggregation of juvenile scalloped hammerhead sharks Sphyrna lewini along the beaches of the Gold Coast, Australia, with notable occurrences at Burleigh Heads and Kirra Reef. The aggregation consists of individuals of varying sizes, which likely suggests the presence of different cohorts, though it remains ...

Spatial variation in otolith elemental chemistry of Stegastes arcifrons (Pomacentridae) reflects environmental patchiness at the Galápagos archipelago

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In marine ecosystems, environmental conditions shape important ecological processes. The equatorial Galápagos Marine Reserve (GMR) is known for great spatial variation in the upwelling of cold nutrient‐rich waters and the input of warm Panamanian waters. Differences in oceanography influence the structure of benthic communities.
