Conservation Science and PracticeThe understanding of the depletion of species and communities and recovery following the reduction of pressures is fundamental in conservation biology. The impact of bottom trawl fisheries on benthic communities has been well studied, but there are few ...

Contribution to the knowledge of echinoid fauna from Persian Gulf (Echinodermata: Echinoidea) [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2016 Species identification is always important. Records of sea urchins and sand dollars species (Echinodermata, Echinoidea) is given from Iranian waters. Nine Species of Echinoderms were identified through the study.

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The American Lobster (Homarus americanus) is the target of an extensive fishery in the Northwest Atlantic, yet there is no systematic method for evaluating relative performance of baits for the fishery. We used Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) to assess lobster attraction to commercial baits versus natural prey.

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

Resource partitioning among algal turf‐feeding fishes on a tropical artificial shoreline
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rapid coastal development has led to the proliferation of artificial structures along urban shorelines. Numerous studies have shown that patterns of fish diversity associated with these novel habitats are driven by physical habitat complexity; however, trophic‐mediated processes in shaping these patterns remain poorly understood.

Sea Urchins as an Inspiration for Robotic Designs
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018 Neuromorphic engineering is the approach to intelligent machine design inspired by nature. Here, we outline possible robotic design principles derived from the neural and motor systems of sea urchins (Echinoida).
