Testing the Improvement of Coral Reef Associated Fish Distribution Models Based on Multibeam Bathymetry by Adding Seafloor Backscatter Data

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Demersal fishes constitute an essential component of the continental shelf ecosystem, and a significant element of fisheries catch around the world. However, collecting distribution and abundance data of demersal fish, necessary for their conservation ...

Supplements to the generalized quantitative assessments of benthic macrofauna in the Far Eastern Seas and adjacent waters of the Pacific Ocean. Report 1. Regional features of distribution for biomass of fish

open access: yesИзвестия ТИНРО, 2016
Long-term information on mean annual biomass of the main taxa of bottom and demersal fishes on the shelf and upper continental slope (down to 2025 m) in the Far Eastern Seas and adjacent Pacific waters is summarized.

Long-term change in benthopelagic fish abundance in the abyssal northeast Pacific Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Food web structure, particularly the relative importance of bottom-up and top-down control of animal abundances, is poorly known for the Earth's largest habitats: the abyssal plains.

Evaluating Sampling Designs for Demersal Fish Communities [PDF]

open access: yesSustainability, 2018
Fish communities play an important role in determining the dynamics of marine ecosystems, while the evaluation and formulation of protective measures for these fish communities depends on the quality and quantity of data collected from well-designed sampling programs.

Diet composition and food habits of demersal and pelagic marine fishes from Terengganu waters, east coast of Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Fish stomachs from 18 demersal and pelagic fishes from the coast of Terengganu in Malaysia were examined. The components of the fishes’ diets varied in number, weight, and their frequency of occurrence.

Temporal changes in the dietary niche of sympatric seals provides insight into the role of competition in population declines

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Competition theory suggests that interspecific prey competition can result in changes to the dietary niche, but obtaining timeseries of data from sympatric species experiencing temporal variation in competition is challenging. Scotland is an important area for two species of seals, but over the past 20 years, populations of harbour seals Phoca vitulina

Demersal Fish Assemblages in NE Atlantic Seagrass and Kelp

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
Global fisheries are in decline, calling for urgent evidence-based action. One such action is the identification and protection of fishery-associated habitats such as seagrass meadows and kelp forests, both of which have suffered long-term loss and ...

Temporal Changes in a Tropical Nekton Assemblage and Performance of a Prawn Selective Gear [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The temporal variation of components of a moderately diverse (H=1.46) tropical estuarine fish assemblage (long. 146°30'E, lat. 8°45'S) was directed by salinities that had been determined by local oceanographic and probably topographic conditions.

Disentangling Habitat Concepts for Demersal Marine Fish Management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Fishing and other anthropogenic impacts have led to declines in many fish stocks and modification of the seabed. As a result, efforts to restore marine ecosystems have become increasingly focused on spatially explicit management methods to protect fish and the habitats they require for survival.

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...
