Environmental and Protection Effects of Shark‐Companion Associations Across Three Ocean Basins [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Companion species frequently associate with large marine hosts, yet the ecological drivers of these relationships remain poorly understood. Using a global dataset of midwater BRUVS deployments, we modelled the presence and abundance of shark‐companion associations across seven shark species and three ocean basins.

Nutrient Composition of Marine Fish Species From the East African Coast: Implications for Food and Nutrition Security [PDF]
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.This study novel analytical data of 24 commonly consumed marine fish species from East Africa to assess their nutrient content and contribution to Codex nutrient reference values. Results showed that small fish species, typically eaten whole, are richer in key micronutrients compared to larger, filleted species. These findings highlight the nutritional

Needle‐shaped diatom frustules in food as a possible promoter of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in coastal southeastern China: A pilot study [PDF]
International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 11, Page 2822-2828, 1 June 2026.What's new? Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) incidence varies worldwide, suggesting that local environmental and dietary factors are influential. In coastal southeastern China, food products derived from small filter‐feeding fish are important dietary components, though their consumption increased ESCC risk.

DNA Metabarcoding Reveals the Diet and Conservation Needs of the Chinese Crested Tern and Greater Crested Terns in Zhejiang Breeding Islands [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This study employs DNA metabarcoding to analyze the diet composition of the critically endangered Chinese crested tern and the greater crested tern during their breeding season in Zhejiang. The terns primarily consume epipelagic schooling fish like anchovies and mackerel, with minimal overlap with commercial fisheries (< 5% commercial fish).

Effects of protection on large‐bodied reef fishes in the western Indian Ocean [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.Abstract Predatory and large‐bodied coral reef fishes have fundamental roles in the functioning and biodiversity of coral reef ecosystems, but their populations are declining, largely due to overexploitation in fisheries. These fishes include sharks, groupers, Humphead wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus), and Green Humphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum).
