Organic and Inorganic Pollutants, Oxidative Stress Biomarkers, and Electrophoretic Protein Profiles in an Endangered Thresher Shark (Alopias vulpinus) From Southeastern Brazil: A Case Study

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 10, Page 833-848, October 2026.
ABSTRACT A comprehensive screening of different environmental contaminants (total metals, thermostable metal fractions associated with detoxification, and persistent organic pollutants) was conducted in an endangered common thresher shark (Alopias vulpinus ) individual incidentally captured in southeastern Brazil.

A Review of Nonsteroidal Anti‐Inflammatory Drugs for Food‐Producing Animals With a Focus on Potential Applications for Farmed Finfish

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT In finfish aquaculture, there are several inflammatory diseases impacting productivity and animal welfare, however there are limited options available to veterinarians to treat inflammation and pain in fish. Nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in terrestrial animals raised for human consumption to treat a range of ...

Use of Pristis spp. (Elasmobranchii: Pristidae) by Hunter-Gatherers on the Coast of São Paulo, Brazil

Neotropical Ichthyology
Artifacts made from rays (rostral teeth and spine) are very common in shell mounds on the coast of São Paulo, Brazil. The presence of the genus Pristis among the studied species of elasmobranch fishes in this shell mounds reinforces the hypothesis these ...

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2262-2285, September 2026.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

Spot the Difference: Morphometrics Reveals Key Traits for Distinguishing Two Cryptic Juvenile Skate

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Juvenile flapper (Dipturus intermedius) and common blue (D. batis) skates are difficult to distinguish due to overlapping distributions and similar morphologies, which hinders monitoring efforts. Using geometric morphometrics and image analysis, this study identified four robust features thay reliably differentiate juveniles: ventral coloration, disc ...

Fish Community Composition Revealed by eDNA Metabarcoding in Mangrove‐Associated Lagoons of Negombo and Puttalam, Sri Lanka

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
eDNA metabarcoding revealed distinct fish community composition between Negombo and Puttalam lagoons, with richness broadly comparable to conventional surveys. The approach detected diverse taxa, including cryptic taxa, demonstrating its value as a complementary tool for biodiversity monitoring in Sri Lanka's mangrove‐associated lagoons.

Ocean sediments and shifting baselines—A call to revise European habitat classifications

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
Shifting baselines affect the appropriateness of existing habitat classification frameworks, potentially reducing MPA integrity and efficacy. To enable representative mapping, accurate sensitivity assessments and appropriate management of marine habitats, EUNIS classifications require more flexibility.

Hidden Mortality: Bottom Trawling Challenges the Legal Protection of Vulnerable Marine Species

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Legal protection of species is a central conservation instrument, yet its effectiveness depends on limiting incidental harm. Bottom trawl fisheries are inherently nonselective and frequently capture nontarget species. This creates a legal–management inconsistency: Bottom trawling remains permitted, whereas protected‐species statutes prohibit ...

Environmental DNA Reveals Distinct Regions of Extraordinary Marine Biodiversity to Inform a Newly Established Marine Park—Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia, is a globally significant refuge for many marine megafauna species. The recent designation of a marine park in Exmouth Gulf underscores its environmental, social and cultural significance but remains a site of competing interests.
