Underestimated barrier effects of ocean fronts shape global fishery distribution [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Marine ecosystems exhibit high spatiotemporal heterogeneity, making it crucial to understand the mechanisms sustaining biological hotspots. Ocean fronts shape local biogeochemical processes and have long been recognized as biological hotspots aggregating

Recreational fisheries as indicators of change: species range shifts from MRIP (1981–2024) [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Zoology
Background In response to global climate change, many marine fish species are shifting their distributions poleward and into deeper, cooler, and more oxygenated waters.

First Assessment of the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Marine Recreational Fisheries

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
This work is the result of an international research effort to determine the main impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on marine recreational fishing. Changes were assessed on (1) access to fishing, derived from lockdowns and other mobility restrictions; (2)

Fishery resource monitoring of the East China Sea via environmental DNA approach: a case study using black sea bream (Acanthopagrus schlegelii)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Understanding fish stock distribution is crucial in the context of sustainable fishery development. Traditional approaches such as net catching, mark recapturing, and visual counting are often time-consuming, less effective, and prone to subjective bias.

Social media shines light on the “hidden” impact of nighttime guided-gigging charters on Texas’ Southern Flounder fishery: A stab in the dark

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Southern Flounder (Paralichthys lethostigma) populations are declining in the Gulf of Mexico basin. This is particularly true in Texas, where this unique and culturally important fishery has been in decline since the 1980s despite increasingly stringent ...

Bringing in the experts: application of industry knowledge to advance catch rate standardization for northern shortfin squid (Illex illecebrosus)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Sources of fisheries information outside of fishery-independent surveys (e.g. fishery-dependent data) are especially valuable for species that support productive fisheries and lack reliable biological information, such as the northern shortfin squid ...
