Ghost fishing impacts on hydrocorals and associated reef fish assemblages

Marine Environmental Research, 2020
Ghost fishing is a threat to many marine environments, as lost or discarded fishing gear (e.g., fishing lines, nets) continues to fish by entangling, damaging or killing various organisms. Among the benthic organisms that live on tropical reefs, the group probably most affected, due to their shape, are the branching corals. These corals provide refuge,

Impacts of moonlight on fish reproduction

Marine Genomics, 2014
The waxing and waning cycle of the moon is repeated at approximately 1-month intervals, and concomitant changes occur in the levels of moonlight and cueing signals detected by organisms on the earth. In the goldlined spinefoot Siganus guttatus, a spawner lunar-synchronized around the first quarter moon, periodic changes in moonlight are used to cue ...

Pharyngeal Perforation from an Impacted Fish

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2004
23-year-old man presented to the emergency department with respiratory distress due to partial upper airway obstruction after attempting to swallow a live fish. A lateral radiograph of the neck confirmed the presence and location of the fish and showed gas in the retropharyngeal space (Fig. 1). He underwent emergent removal of the fish followed by left

Impacts of Fish Tourism

2017
There is a growing nature tourism industry that encourages and enables people to interact with fish. Fish provide an important source of food for humans as well as play an important role in regulating ecosystems. Compared to the many studies that focus on potential impacts of tourism on terrestrial animals, there are relatively few that have focused on

Impact of Acidification on Fishes

2021
Fish protein is one of the primary sources that provide food security to the rapidly rising population of the planet Earth. It has been documented that several fish species exhibit a change in their sensory behavior during their stay in water bodies with low pH. The spawning pattern of fish is also affected if the pH level changes.

Ecosystem Impacts of Fishing

2012
How does overfishing affect ecosystems? Early explorers’ accounts are full of wonder at the natural wealth of the New World and astonishment at the size of fish. Writing in 1615 about John Cabot’s voyage off Newfoundland, Peter Martyr said, “in the sea adjacent [he]...

FISHY FISH? THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF ESCAPED FARMED FISH

Aquaculture Economics & Management, 2014
& The escape of cultured fish from a marine aquaculture facility is a type of biological invasion that may lead to a variety of potential ecological and economic effects on native fish. This article develops a general invasive species impact model to capture explicitly both the ecological and economic effects of invasive species, especially escaped ...

Minimizing the impact of fishing

Fish and Fisheries, 2016
AbstractMinimizing the impact of fishing is an explicit goal in international agreements as well as in regional directives and national laws. To assist in practical implementation, three simple rules for fisheries management are proposed in this study: 1) take less than nature by ensuring that mortality caused by fishing is less than the natural rate ...
