Fishing degrades size structure of coral reef fish communities
Fishing pressure on coral reef ecosystems has been frequently linked to reductions of large fishes and reef fish biomass. Associated impacts on overall community structure are, however, less clear. In size-structured aquatic ecosystems, fishing impacts are commonly quantified using size spectra, which describe the distribution of individual body sizes ...

Ocean currents affect spatial patterns of fish communities in the Yellow Sea–Bohai Sea ecotone
Background Understanding the drivers of spatial patterns in fish communities is important for protecting fishery ecosystems. However, the influence of ocean currents on the spatial patterns of fish communities remains poorly understood.

Study of ichtyodiversity from Gorgova-Uzlina lake-complex [PDF]
The study of ichthyofauna from complex lakes Gorgova-Uzlina was undertaken in October 2004, using two complementary methods of sampling: electric fishing for shoreline and gillnet fishing for open water.

Fishing communities: the course of the fishing life
Social contexts inevitably influence entry into the occupation and how fishing lives are shaped by the unfolding of non-fishing identities. Temporal perspectives can help us understand what it means to be a fisher – including the importance of social contexts for entering the occupation and how non-fishing identities shape the unfolding of fishing ...

Electroreception and communication in fishes
This concise review focuses on recent advances in the function and mechanism of electroreceptive systems in lower aquatic vertebrates and elucidates the sophisticated principles of communication, prey detection and orientation in these organisms. An introduction into electroreceptors, electric organs and sensory functions is followed by a review of ...
