First Report on the Diet of the Angolan Flying Squid (Todarodes angolensis) in New Zealand Waters

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Angolan flying squid (Todarodes angolensis) is a southerly distributed, large‐bodied ommastrephid preyed upon by many large marine vertebrates such as the southern elephant seal and deep‐sea squalid sharks. Here, we report its diet in New Zealand waters for the first time, identifying prey items from the stomach contents of 58 adults using ...

Semi‐Artificial Breeding Report of Endangered Chitala lopis Using Hormonal Induction Treatments

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
The graphical abstract of the first successful semi‐artificial breeding of the endangered Giant Featherback (Chitala lopis, Bleeker 1851) by hormonal induction ABSTRACT Reproductive maturity of Chitala lopis is critical for preventing species loss, as the species was previously listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List.

Distribution and Characterization of Threatened Common Eagle Ray Aggregations in the Central–Western Mediterranean Sea: Opportunities for Regional Conservation Actions

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Many sharks and rays aggregate in critical habitats to migrate, rest, feed, mate or give birth. These predictable events, often involving dozens to thousands of individuals, represent important and vulnerable phases in their life cycles. However, fishing activities and unregulated tourism can threaten these aggregations, disrupting natural ...

Spatial Factors Outweigh Environmental Variables in Explaining Fish Beta Diversity Within A Massive Anthropogenically Homogenized Water‐Transfer Canal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
In physically unobstructed and homogenized artificial ecosystems, dispersal limitation driven by geographic distance and unique hydraulic conditions replace environmental filtering as the primary deterministic process shaping diversity patterns. Furthermore, significant regulatory effects of food resources through trophic cascades reinforce this ...

Young‐Of‐Year Atlantic Cod and Saithe Differ in Individuality and Structure of Movement Traits

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We examined movement behavior in young‐of‐year Atlantic cod and saithe using repeated laboratory trials across ontogeny and social contexts. While mean behavioral differences were modest, the species diverged strongly in how behavioral variation was structured: cod showed greater among‐individual differentiation and context‐dependent plasticity ...

Overlap of nonbreeding wandering albatrosses with fisheries and implications for colony‐specific population trajectories at South Georgia

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Recompression Improves Release Success in Pollack (Pollachius pollachius): A Step Towards Assessing Post Release Mortality in a Recreational Fishery

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 652-664, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The recreational fishery for pollack (Pollachius pollachius) in the northeast Atlantic is impacted by the species' high sensitivity to barotrauma. When captured at depth and brought to the surface, gas expansion within the peritoneal cavity can cause a variety of injuries and hinder release.

Variation in Metabolic Scaling Reveals Aerobic Constraints With Temperature in Fishes

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate‐driven declines in fish body size suggest direct negative impacts on larger individuals and indirect impacts on species interactions, population dynamics and ultimately ecosystem functions and services. This study uses metabolic scaling as a mechanistic framework to identify aerobic limitations in fish across size to provide a ...

Along the Benthic to Holoplanktonic Continuum: Seafloor Affinity Increases Distance‐Decay Rates Among Abyssal Communities

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Marine species ranges are often large, contributing to relatively high community similarity over space, with decreased ranges expected among taxa that have lower dispersal and/or higher substrate requirements. We tested for a weakening of biogeographic structuring among dispersing abyssal taxa along the benthic to holoplanktonic habitat ...
