What are the main local drivers determining richness and fishery yields in tropical coastal fish assemblages?

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2018
Seasonal ecological effects caused by temperature and photoperiod are typically considered minimal in the tropics. Nevertheless, annual climate cycles may still influence the distribution and abundance of tropical species.

Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

Genes, fish and fisheries: translating science into policy

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The 2024 Annual Symposium of the Fisheries Society of the British Isles reviewed the burgeoning impact of ‘omics’ technologies on fish ecology, management and forecasting. As with life sciences more generally, major advances in speed, cost‐effectiveness and breadth of applications in ‘omics’ has had profound societal and environmental impacts.

Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The welfare of non‐human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current theoretical approaches to animal welfare and recent advances in defining and assessing fish welfare since the seminal paper by Huntingford ...

Prospects of multipurpose biomonitoring for fisheries assessment based on environmental nucleic acids

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Methods using environmental nucleic acids have become highly effective for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, with an array of suitable use cases, including metrics for fisheries assessment. Traditional methods for assessing fish populations often rely on invasive techniques with limited spatial and temporal coverage.

Early‐life temperature drives recruitment success in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) populations

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Interannual fluctuations in the abundance of young‐of‐the‐year (YOY) European perch (Perca fluviatilis) were studied in two large French peri‐alpine lakes using a 12‐year dataset of late summer hydroacoustic surveys. Previous research has highlighted the importance of temperature.

Marine heatwaves shape size‐dependent thermal exposure, habitat use and marine residency in Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are increasing in high‐latitude oceans, yet behavioural responses of anadromous fishes to these potential stressors during short marine feeding seasons remain poorly understood. We combined acoustic telemetry (internal temperature and depth) with satellite‐derived sea surface temperature data to quantify Arctic char ...

Gillnet colour affects catch efficiency in pearlspot (Etroplus suratensis) tropical estuary fishery

Aquaculture and Fisheries
Gillnets are one of the most commonly used fishing gears in both marine and inland waters. Different colour filament nettings are often used in gillnets. However, the effect of gillnet colour on catch efficiency is unclear for most fisheries.

The United States requires effective federal policy to reduce marine plastic pollution

Conservation Science and Practice, 2019
The amount of plastic entering the ocean is expected to increase by an order of magnitude by 2025. Marine plastic pollution threatens biodiversity through entanglement, ingestion, and chemical exposure.

Nodular Lesions in the Pyloric Caeca of Sardinella aurita (Teleostei) Associated With the Cestode Anthobothrium sp. 1 Larvae (Platyhelminthes: Eucestoda) Off Tunisia, Mediterranean Sea

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Examination of round sardinella Sardinella aurita Valenciennes, 1847 (Clupeidae) from the Gulf of Tunis (Tunisia) revealed the first local and Mediterranean record of Anthobothrium sp. 1 sensu Jensen & Bullard, 2010 (Tetraphyllidea incertae sedis, Anthobothrium).
