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.

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
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.

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.

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
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

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
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 ...

A Process‐Based Theory of Fishing
ABSTRACT The processes that lead to the capture of marine organisms in fishing gear are inherently complex, arising from interactions between the deployment of fishing effort, gear efficiency, and species‐specific demography and behaviour. A mechanistic understanding of these processes provides a principled basis for developing management approaches ...
