First Report of ‘Soft Flesh’ Induced by the Parasite Kudoa thyrsites (Myxosporea) in Commercial Codfish From Norway

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Kudoa thyrsites is a myxosporean parasite that infects the skeletal muscle of various teleost fish species globally. Severe infections lead to ‘soft flesh’ in fish fillets, resulting in food spoilage and subsequent discard. While K. thyrsites has previously been identified in migratory Atlantic mackerel in the northern Northeast Atlantic Ocean,

False killer whales and fisheries in Hawaiian waters: evidence from mouthline and dorsal fin injuries reveal ongoing and repeated interactions

open access: yesEndangered Species Research
Monitoring bycatch in fisheries is essential for effective conservation and fisheries sustainability. False killer whales Pseudorca crassidens in Hawaiian waters are known to interact with both commercial and recreational fisheries, but limited observer ...

Fatal Hemorrhagic Septicemia in Common Guitarfish (Rhinobatos rhinobatos) Caused by Photobacterium damselae Subsp. damselae in a Controlled Environment

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elasmobranchs, including sharks and rays, are commonly housed in public aquariums due to their ecological significance and educational value. The common guitarfish (Rhinobatos rhinobatos), currently listed as ‘Critically Endangered’ by the IUCN, is particularly susceptible to population declines due to overfishing and bycatch.

Fisheries management in the face of uncertainty: Designing time-area closures that are effective under multiple spatial patterns of fishing effort displacement in an estuarine gill net fishery.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
A commonly cited reason for the failure of time-area closures to achieve fisheries management goals is the displacement of fishing effort from inside the closure into the surrounding area still open to fishing.

A multiscale seasonal examination of the risk of harm to seabirds from vessels based on co-occurrence in Alaskan waters. [PDF]

open access: yesConserv Biol
Abstract Alaska's seascape supports globally significant seabird populations, including vulnerable and threatened species, and hosts economically important commercial fisheries and marine transportation corridors. Seasonal patterns of seabird movements and vessel traffic create a complex landscape of risk, defined as high levels of co‐occurrence ...

Integrating Porpoise and Cod Management: A Comparison of Days-at-sea, ITQs, and Closures [PDF]

open access: yes
The purpose of this study is to determine if management measures based on effort reductions, in particular days-at-sea (DAS) controls, can approach a harbor porpoise individual transferable quotas (ITQ) program in terms of efficiency.

Longline-caught blue shark (Prionace glauca): factors affecting the numbers available for live release* [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The blue shark (Prionace glauca) is an oceanic species that occurs in temperate and tropical waters around the globe (Robins and Ray, 1986). This species is a major bycatch of pelagic longline fleets that operate to supply the world’s growing demand for

Limno‐STOICH: A comprehensive database linking the elemental stoichiometry of organisms with inland aquatic habitats

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract All organisms contain carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in widely ranging amounts and proportions. Integrating existing datasets enables quantification of this variation at global scales. Such efforts could leverage ecological stoichiometry theory, the study of elemental supply and imbalances in ecological interactions, to connect ecological ...

The Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries: Issues, Terminology, Principles, Institutional Foundations, Implementation and Outlook [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Ecosystems are complex and dynamic natural units that produce goods and services beyond those of benefit to fisheries. Because fisheries have a direct impact on the ecosystem, which is also impacted by other human activities, they need to be managed in ...
