The comparative morphology of the musculature controlling the pectoral free rays in scorpaenoid fishes

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
Free rays are a key adaptation in several benthic fish groups. Our comparative analysis of the pectoral free rays in three families of scorpaenoid fishes provides revised hypotheses regarding the identity and function of the specialized musculature and osteology associated with free rays. Abstract Free rays are ventral pectoral fin rays (lepidotrichia)

A real‐world dataset and data simulation algorithm for automated fish species identification

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 199-209, November 2021., 2021
Developing high‐performing machine learning algorithms requires large amounts of annotated data for training. Manual annotation of data is labour‐intensive, and the cost/ effort needed is an important obstacle to the development and deployment of automated analysis.

Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management works—How switching from mobile to static fishing gear improves populations of fished and non‐fished species inside a marine‐protected area

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 11, Page 2463-2478, November 2021., 2021
The Lyme Bay marine‐protected area shows importance of protecting a whole site, comprising mosaics of different benthic habitats, through protection of sessile organisms that contribute to essential fish habitats. This Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management can benefit and maintain sustainable fisheries and species of conservation importance ...

Fish otolith biomineralization process: first investigations about organic matrix and growth of Triglidae (Scorpaeniformes) otoliths

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015
Otolith formation involves rhythmic variations in the deposition and size of organic matrix framework and carbonate crystals, resulting in the formation of macroscopic translucent and opaque rings and microscopic zonations (growth increments) (Morales ...

A Review of the Applications and Challenges of Pulsed Electric Fields in Fish Ecological Protection

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of pulsed electric fields (PEF) to regulate fish swimming patterns, especially during migratory channel restoration in dammed rivers, faces significant operational challenges. These challenges can generally be attributed to the multifaceted nature of fish behaviour and limitations in research on physical interception methods.

Comparison of Environmental DNA Metabarcoding and Trawl Data Highlights Gear Selectivity of Marine Demersal Fish Surveys on the Faroese Plateau

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
The study compared trawl and eDNA metabarcoding of demersal fish communities in an open ocean environment around the Faroe Islands. eDNA provided a comparable assessment of demersal species biomass and revealed additional spatial information on keystone species known to be under‐sampled by demersal trawls due to size and behavioral traits.

Occurrence and distribution of parasites in relation to food components of grey gurnard, Eutrigla gurnardus (L.) (Teleostei: Scorpaeniformes), off the Shetland Islands

Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies, 2014
Abstract The research was conducted on the parasite fauna and food composition of Eutrigla gurnardus caught as by-catch in commercial catches of the Atlantic cod Gadus morhua near the Shetland Islands. Thirteen species and two genera of pathogens were identified, including six species and one genus recorded for the first time in this ...

Century‐Scale Changes in the Feeding Patterns of Demersal Fish Species in the Western North Sea

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 99-115, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the extent and magnitude of change in marine food webs requires historical data that predates modern monitoring efforts. Such information can provide invaluable insights into the longer‐term impacts of altered trophic interactions, yet it is rarely incorporated into marine policy frameworks.

Monthly eDNA Metabarcoding Data From the Coastal North Sea Area Align With Fish Species‐Specific Life Cycle Events

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
In this study, we investigated the temporal and spatial patterns of fish communities within the 12 nautical miles limit of the Belgian part of the North Sea (BPNS) using eDNA 12S metabarcoding. Our findings revealed that while there are no temporal changes at the community level, species‐specific eDNA signals align with the species known biology in the
