Larvae of Nearshore Fishes in Oceanic Waters near Oahu, Hawaii [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Larvae of over 50 families of nearshore fishes were taken in oceanic waters about 13 km offshore of the leeward (southwest) coast of Oahu, Hawaii during 1977-78, The five most frequently taken families (Labridae, Parapercidae, Serranidae, Gobiidae, and ...

Using hydrodynamics to modify fishing performance of a demersal fishing gear

open access: yesFisheries Research, 2023
This study demonstrates how hydrodynamics can be used to influence the fishing performance of towed demersal fishing gears. Sea trials are performed in the sea star fishery to show how modifications to the gear design alter the hydrodynamics of the turbulent wake and consequently affect the catching performance of trawl gears.

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

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Diet composition of fish species from the southern continental shelf of Colombia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The diet composition of 30 fish species belonging to 16 families from the Pacific Coast of Colombia is described. Benthic crustaceans (37.5%) and bony fishes (23.7%, chiefly demersal) were the most important food items for the fish species analyzed. Data

Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the zebra seabream Diplodus cervinus (Perciformes, Sparidae) from the Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022
The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of the demersal zebra seabream Diplodus cervinus (Lowe, 1838) was determined for the first time.

Evaluation of the reserve effect in a marine protected area in Sagres (PNSACV) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), especially when set up as marine reserves, have been found beneficial for fish communities and species worldwide. Evaluation of MPA effects needs to be done to understand whether existing protection measures are efficient ...

Does nature shape risk preferences? Evidence from Chile, Norway, and Tanzania

open access: yesEconomic Inquiry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 568-590, April 2025.
Abstract Does exposure to a more risky environment affect risk preferences? Going beyond single‐case study evidence, we report results from five surveys conducted in three countries and link this with administrative data to study whether a link between exposure and preferences is detectable and widespread. We find no evidence for endogenous preferences
