Reproductive Biology and Life‐History Plasticity of the Yellowfin Snapper Lutjanus xanthopinnis in the Southern South China Sea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The reproductive biology of the yellowfin snapper Lutjanus xanthopinnis, recently identified as a new species, was first examined across all seasons in the southwestern South China Sea. Spawning in both female and male L. xanthopinnis was observed over the years.

Evidence of a Potential Nursery Area for the Great Hammerhead Shark, Sphyrna mokarran, in the Largest Coral Reef System of the Southwestern Atlantic

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We present evidence suggesting that the Abrolhos Bank functions as key habitat for early life stages of Sphyrna mokarran. Kernel density estimation revealed spatially structured aggregations, with neonates and young‐of‐the‐year concentrated in shallow reef‐associated areas. Temporal variation in catch per unit effort (CPUE) indicated recruitment pulses

Assessment of Microplastic Ingestion in Commercial Marine Fish From Cities of Sibu and Kuching, Eastern Sarawak, Malaysia

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution is an ever‐growing issue in the marine ecosystem around the world. However, the study on MP pollution in marine fish remains limited, particularly those conducted in Eastern Sarawak, Malaysia. Hence, this study investigated the occurrence of MP on the marine fish, collected from local fish market in the city of Sibu

Microplastics Toxicity and Life‐Threatening Impact on the Arabian Gulf: A Critical Review

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as a pervasive pollutant in marine environments worldwide, yet the Arabian Gulf remains underrepresented in global assessments despite its ecological and economic significance. The estimated mass of MPs entering the water of the Gulf ranged from 155 to 413.4 kt per year.

Unravelling Bulk Ichthyoplankton Diversity in Vietnam: Metabarcoding Validation With Controlled Mock Samples

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The sustainability of Southeast Asian fisheries hinges on high‐throughput tools for monitoring early life‐stage fish biodiversity. However, applying DNA metabarcoding to hyper‐diverse tropical ichthyoplankton requires rigorous calibration to ensure quantitative reliability.

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 ...

Examining the efficacy of a sanctuary to protect sharks in the Galapagos Marine Reserve

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract In 2016, Ecuador established a no‐take marine sanctuary in the northern portion of the Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR), ostensibly to protect sharks. Arguably because of this, experimental longlining was permitted in the rest of the reserve as part of a compensation package to local fishers. Considering this agreement and very low bycatch rates

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.
