What to Expect After a Commercial Fishery Ban? Long Term Fish Size and Biomass Trends in Two Productive Water Bodies With Contrasting Management Regimes

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Commercial fishing is often assumed to have greater impacts than recreational fishing, and many fisheries assessments overlook the latter. Yet, numerous coastal and freshwater fish populations are subject to both fishing types and environmental pressures, all influencing biomass, body size and community structure and making management outcomes

Ecosystem-based Fishery Management in the Bering Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In the Bering Sea, science-based management of major fisheries is designed to control fishing at levels that maintain stable populations of valuable fish.

Hatching Success of Olive Ridley Sea Turtles in Semi‐Natural Nests: A Pilot Assessment of Microclimate Conditions at Batu Hiu Beach

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Our study investigates the environmental and astronomical drivers of olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) hatching success at Batu Hiu Beach, Indonesia. We demonstrate that air temperature is the dominant predictor of hatching outcomes, while Earth–Moon distance exerts an additional, significant influence independent of humidity and tidal effects ...

Managing Fish and Fishing in America's Oceans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Ocean fish have served as a valuable source of nourishment, employment and recreation in the United States for centuries. The U.S. commercial seafood industry supports an estimated 1.5 million jobs, and the recreational fishing industry, with ...

Population Structure and Genetic Diversity Analyses Reveal Isolation That May Imperil the Northernmost Colony of the Endangered Australian Sea Lion

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Rapid warming of marine environments is threatening ecosystems, especially species at the edge of their range. This study analysed the genetic structure and diversity of Australian sea lion populations and found the northernmost population to be highly isolated with extremely low genetic variation.

An Integrated Approach to Determining the Risk of Overexploitation for Data-Poor Pelagic Atlantic Sharks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Assesses the risk of over-exploitation of sharks in Atlantic longline fisheries using three metrics based on multivariate statistics as a way to make management recommendations for species with limited data.

Separating Sampling Bias From Abundance Shows That Different Methods Catch Different Wild Bees

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Comparing community sampling methods' relative taxonomic biases is critical to interpreting the data they collect, but measuring bias explicitly is difficult when methods also produce different sample sizes. Here, we control for absolute abundance while comparing sample composition and richness of three common methods for sampling wild bee communities.

Characterization of salmon‐foraging harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) in the Erimo region, Hokkaido, Japan, using finite mixture models

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
Finite mixture models revealed that older, larger harbor seals specialize in salmon predation at setnets in Hokkaido, Japan, suggesting targeted management strategies focusing on these specialist individuals could effectively reduce fishery conflicts while protecting the broader seal population.

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 519-538, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Using eDNA to estimate biomass of bycatch in pelagic fisheries

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA
In recent years, the analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) has significantly improved, allowing for high‐resolution species identification and possible biomass quantification from water samples.
