Backward swimming in elongated-bodied abyssal demersal fishes: Synaphobranchidae, Macrouridae, and Ophidiidae. [PDF]
Abstract The deep‐sea demersal fish fauna is characterized by a prevalence of elongated‐body forms with long tapering tails. Using baited camera landers at depths of 4500–6300 m in the Pacific Ocean, we observed multiple instances of backward swimming using reverse undulation of the slender body in four species: the cutthroat eel Ilyophis robinsae ...

Hybridization and Introgression in Black Hakes (Merluccius polli and M. senegalensis): Evolutionary Dynamics and Conservation Implications in the Contact Zone Exploited by Multi-Species Fisheries. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hybridization is relatively common between closely related species that share part of their distribution. Understanding its dynamics is important both for conservation purposes and to determine its role as an evolutionary mechanism. Here we have studied the case of black hakes (Merluccius polli and Merluccius senegalensis) in its contact zone.

Changes in magnitude and structure of world marine fisheries catch within 1960-1980 [PDF]
Total world marine fish catches within 1960-1980 are analysed, based upon 5-year mean catch. A marked increase in the perciform (Perciformes) and salmonid (Salmoniformes) catches along with increasing yields of molluscs, crustaceans, and algae are ...

Gadiform species display dietary shifts in the Celtic Sea
Global changes, through their impacts on ecosystem trophic structures, are behind regime shifts and cascading effects, and could result in the reorganization of whole ecosystems. The Celtic Sea is a temperate sea at risk of the above because of the interplay between climate change and fisheries.
