From local knowledge and science to policy: Lessons learned from Fiji's valuable grouper fisheries

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pacific Island communities are heavily dependent on fisheries for subsistence and livelihoods. Yet, despite their importance, coastal fisheries are poorly managed and commercial pressures increasingly threaten them. Groupers (Epinephelidae) are exceptionally vulnerable to overexploitation due to aspects of their biology while their economic ...

The costs and healing rates of minor injuries in neonatal reef sharks

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Elasmobranch fishes (i.e., sharks, skates, and rays) exhibit remarkable wound‐healing capabilities and consistently maintain a high capacity for tissue regeneration throughout their lives. This high capacity for wound healing may be particularly important for neonatal elasmobranchs that are still developing their immune system. However, little

Mass stranding of common (weedy) seadragons (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus) in Sydney: impacts and implications

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In April 2022, mass stranding of weedy (common) seadragons occurred, with a total of over 200 individuals washed ashore on beaches in the Sydney, Australia region, recorded by citizens. Causes of the stranding, which is unprecedented, were likely related to a series of east coast low storm events, leading to record wave heights, record coastal

The effect of early life thermal environment on morphology and growth of yellow perch (Perca flavescens)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Early life development in fishes is a period of high phenotypic plasticity. Water temperatures during embryogenesis can lead to alterations in growth and metabolic and morphological phenotypic variations. This study aimed to characterize the effects of temperature on the growth and morphology of yellow perch throughout early development, a ...

A new blue‐spotted Maskray species (Neotrygon, Dasyatidae) from Fiji

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Neotrygon romeoi n. sp. (Dasyatidae), a new species of blue‐spotted maskray from Fiji, previously confused with Neotrygon kuhlii (Müller and Henle 1841) or Neotrygon trigonoides (Castelnau 1873), is described based on nine specimens (310–397 mm disc width) from Fiji. Neotrygon romeoi n. sp.

Potential metabolic records in isotope signals of chondrichthyan hard tissues

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advances have demonstrated that the field metabolic rates (FMRs) of teleost fishes can be quantified from stable isotope compositions of carbonate‐biomineralized otoliths. Bones and teeth, in addition to bioapatite, contain carbonate and should retain a similar isotopic expression of metabolic rate.

A blacktip's black tip: The reliability of using dorsal‐fin patterns for photo identification of blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Photo identification (photo ID) has increasingly become a valuable technique serving not only to identify individual animals but also to monitor populations, track migration patterns and assess wildlife health, among others uses. Various species of sharks are amenable to photo ID, among which the blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus)
