Fish Predation in Bivalve Aquaculture: Impacts and Potential Mitigation Strategies

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Fish predation poses a significant challenge to bivalve aquaculture throughout the global range of production. However, the issue remains poorly understood, preventing the advance of effective interventions. Fish predation, especially on mussels in longline culture, can be severe and, in some instances, lead to crop losses of up to 100%, which

No Sign of Homogenisation in Reef Fish Communities Across an Ecological Transition Zone Exposed to Warming

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Marine organisms are responding to warming by altering their distribution ranges, causing biogeographic range shifts and in some cases, favouring the community homogenisation. Transition zones can act as natural laboratories to explore the consequences of homogenisation.

Primer registro del pez globo Chilomycterus spinosus (familia Diodontidae) en el Caribe colombiano

Boletín de Investigaciones Marinas y Costeras, 2023
Se registra por primera vez en el Caribe colombiano el pez globo Chilomycterus spinosus correspondiente a la familia Diodontidae. Un individuo de esta especie fue avistado en agosto de 2022 en la zona de Bahía Portete a una profundidad de 1.5 m. Se reporta una variación en el rango de profundidad de esta especie, a zonas más someras.

A framework and review of evidence of the importance of coral reefs for marine birds in tropical ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.
We reviewed the dependence of marine birds on coral reefs, with a focus on trophic relationships. We found evidence for only a few avian species, particularly the Eastern Reef Egret, depending directly on reefs. Birds nonetheless interact with reef and reef‐based food webs in a diversity of ways, many of which are poorly understood and under‐studied ...

Tracking shifts in Society Islands marine subsistence through time: Intra‐site analysis of faunal remains and fishing gear

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 198-218, July 2024.
Abstract We discuss new data from Colonization Phase and Early Expansion/Development Phase assemblages in the pre‐contact Society Islands. We focus on analysis of marine faunal remains and fishing gear to infer diachronic shifts in subsistence practices at two well‐dated coastal sites. Both Colonization Phase (AD 950–1200) and Early Expansion Phase (AD

Mass capture fishing in the Marquesas Islands

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 234-250, July 2024.
ABSTRACT Mass capture of small fishes with a variety of nets, traps, and weirs was widely practiced and economically important across East Polynesia at western contact. Archaeological research, however, has suggested these technologies were less important during the early settlement period and gained prominence over time. Several explanations have been

Advances in East Polynesian zooarchaeology: Special Issue introduction, review (2016–2024), and assessment

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 157-175, July 2024.
ABSTRACT This article both introduces our Special Issue on “Zooarchaeology and Human Ecodynamics in East Polynesia” and reviews recent research from East Polynesia at large. The seven articles and discussion essay derive from a symposium at the 14th International Council for Archaeozoology (ICAZ) conference in Cairns, Australia (2023). To contextualize

Sacred offerings and secular foods on Reao Atoll, Tuamotu Archipelago, East Polynesia

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 59, Issue 1, Page 29-67, April 2024.
ABSTRACT In 1976, Yosihiko H. Sinoto conducted extensive archaeological survey and excavations on Reao Atoll, Tuamotu Archipelago as part of a Japanese, multi‐disciplinary expedition led by Prof. Sachiko Hatanaka. Primarily excavating three marae and four habitation sites totalling ∼180 m2, more than 25000 vertebrate remains were recovered.

Estimating enhanced fish production on restored shellfish reefs using automated data collection from underwater videos

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 633-646, April 2024.
The combination of underwater videos with automated data extraction provides a reliable, cost‐effective method for surveying fish on oyster reefs. By quantifying enhanced fish productivity on reefs, we provide estimates that will underpin calculations of ecological, social and financial benefits, supporting the business case for scaling‐up restoration ...
