A Niche for Nasty Nippers: Exploring Harvest Management for Control of Invasive Asian Paddle Crabs in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 2, June 2026.
The invasive Asian paddle crab Charybdis japonica continues to expand its range across northern Aotearoa New Zealand, raising ecological, social, and economic concerns. This study theoretically assesses whether harvest‐based management—potentially including commercial, recreational, or customary fisheries—could contribute to population suppression ...

Population structure and reproductive aspects of flatfishes in the Guaratuba Bay estuary, a protected subtropical estuary in Brazil [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
This study investigated the population structure of four flatfish species — Achirus lineatus (n = 94), Citharichthys spilopterus (n = 216), Etropus crossotus (n = 104), and Symphurus tessellatus (n = 48) — in the Guaratuba Bay estuary, southern Brazil ...

Temporal changes in the dietary niche of sympatric seals provides insight into the role of competition in population declines

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Competition theory suggests that interspecific prey competition can result in changes to the dietary niche, but obtaining timeseries of data from sympatric species experiencing temporal variation in competition is challenging. Scotland is an important area for two species of seals, but over the past 20 years, populations of harbour seals Phoca vitulina

Effects of oil-laden sediments on growth and health of juvenile flatfishes

, 1998
Juvenile yellowfin sole (Pleuronectes asper), rock sole (Pleuronectes bilineatus), and Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) had reduced growth following 30-90 days of exposure to sediments laden with Alaska North Slope crude oil.

Statistical Modeling of Seafood Fraud Highlights Uncertainties in Products From Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: Revisiting Hu et al. (2018)

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Seafood misrepresentation, encompassing product adulteration, mislabeling, and substitution, among other fraudulent practices, has risen globally over the past decade, greatly impacting both the loss of important fish species and the behavior of human consumers alike.

The Vertebral Column of Flatfish: A Review

Reviews in Aquaculture
ABSTRACT Flatfish (Pleuronectiformes) encompass fascinating fish species known for their high gastronomical value, rearing performances, and market prices, which attract both economic and scientific interest. Despite these attributes, flatfish exhibit unique morphological, developmental, and biological features, as well as distinctive

Microbial contamination including Vibrio cholerae in fishery auction markets in West Sea, South Korea

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2019
Background The monitoring of pathogens of fishery auction markets is important to obtain safe fishery products regarding hygiene and sanitation. In this study, aerobic, coliform, Escherichia coli, and Vibrio cholerae were monitored in the fishery ...

Visual Modelling to Predict Behavioural Responses of Catsharks, Skates, and Plaice to Artificial Light for Use in Bycatch Reduction

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 463-478, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Light can be used to deter bycatch from fishing nets, but few studies have aimed to quantify how species view and respond to light. Here, we used visual models to predict how target (plaice Pleuronectes platessa) and bycatch (small‐spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicular and undersized skates, Raja spp) species, captured in mixed demersal ...

The evolutionary origin of flatfish asymmetry

Nature, 2008
All adult flatfishes (Pleuronectiformes), including the gastronomically familiar plaice, sole, turbot and halibut, have highly asymmetrical skulls, with both eyes placed on one side of the head. This arrangement, one of the most extraordinary anatomical specializations among vertebrates, arises through migration of one eye during late larval ...
