What goes in, must come out:combining scat-based molecular diet analysis and quantification of ingested microplastics in a marine top predator [PDF]
Context: Microplastics (plastic particles <5 mm in size) are highly available for ingestion by a wide range of organisms, either through direct consumption or indirectly, via trophic transfer, from prey to predator.

The effects of subsampling and between-haul variation on the size-selectivity estimation of Chilean hake (Merluccius gayi gayi) [PDF]
Using the data collected in a size selectivity experiment on Chilean hake (Merluccius gayi gayi) carried out in 2000, the selectivity parameters for four codend mesh sizes (100, 110, 130, and 140 mm of mesh size opening) were estimated and modelled by ...

Allozymic variation in Mediterranean hakeMerluccius merluccius(Gadidae) [PDF]
Abstract Four hundred and twenty individual hake from 10 sample sites in the Mediterranean Sea were analysed in order to study genetic variability and identify genetic stock structure. Twenty loci were identified, four of which were polymorphic at the 95% level: ADH*, PGI‐1*, PGI‐2* and SOD‐1*.

Agonistic behaviour and sound production in Gaidropsarus mediterraneus, (Gadidae) [PDF]
Agonistic behaviour and sound production were described for captive Gaidropsarus mediterraneus, a shore‐dwelling gadoid. Thump‐like sounds were produced during agonistic interactions, which involved disputes over access to shelter sites.
