Evidence of a Potential Nursery Area for the Great Hammerhead Shark, Sphyrna mokarran, in the Largest Coral Reef System of the Southwestern Atlantic

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We present evidence suggesting that the Abrolhos Bank functions as key habitat for early life stages of Sphyrna mokarran. Kernel density estimation revealed spatially structured aggregations, with neonates and young‐of‐the‐year concentrated in shallow reef‐associated areas. Temporal variation in catch per unit effort (CPUE) indicated recruitment pulses

Assessment of species composition and CPUE (catch per unit effort) of commercial fish caught with bottom gillnet in Jask coastal waters [PDF]

بوم‌شناسی آبزیان, 2018
Tiger– toothed croaker (Otolithes ruber) is considered as a commercially important target species for fishermen in south of Iran, due to its high economic value and marketability.

Overlap of nonbreeding wandering albatrosses with fisheries and implications for colony‐specific population trajectories at South Georgia

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.

Assessing differences among elasmobranch nurseries to aid conservation based on a genomics framework

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Elasmobranch nurseries often differ in environmental conditions, demographics, and use patterns. These differences affect the distribution of genetic variation among nurseries. However, conservation and management strategies often fail to account for such differences because they are difficult to characterize.

Fewer devil rays in the sea: Evidence of declining mobulid populations off India's coast

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Manta and devil rays are declining globally due to targeted and incidental capture, but species‐specific assessments are limited by unmonitored fisheries. Using morphometric, demographic, and fishery metrics, we show for the first time in India long‐term (2013–2023) declines in Mobula mobular, Mobula tarapacana, Mobula birostris, and Mobula thurstoni ...

Experimental gillnet study to inform future large fish monitoring in the San Francisco Estuary

California Fish and Wildlife Journal
Fishery independent monitoring in the San Francisco Estuary (SFE) includes extensive coverage by the many trawl- and seine-based surveys of the Interagency Ecological Program (IEP).

Post‐Release Mortality of European Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) Discarded From Small‐Scale Estuarine Fishing

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 706-718, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Estuaries provide essential habitats for many fish species, but their confined and accessible nature may increase fish vulnerability to capture, and few empirical studies have quantified the value of restricting net fisheries in such areas.

Disentangling the Drivers of a Piscivorous Intra‐Annual Cohort and the Contributions of Three Cohorts to Early‐Year Class Strength in Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca)

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 784-798, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Using pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) as a model species, we investigated the factors influencing fluctuations in the abundance of piscivorous intra‐annual cohorts and assessed the role of three distinct cohorts: extremely small (ES), ordinary (or mid‐sized) fingerlings, and piscivorous in shaping year‐class strength.

A Process‐Based Theory of Fishing

Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 39, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The processes that lead to the capture of marine organisms in fishing gear are inherently complex, arising from interactions between the deployment of fishing effort, gear efficiency, and species‐specific demography and behaviour. A mechanistic understanding of these processes provides a principled basis for developing management approaches ...

Comparison of Catch Efficiency of Combined Net and Gillnets on the Çanakkale Coast

Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Journal of Marine Sciences and Fisheries
This study was carried out to investigate the catch efficiency of gillnet and combined nets. The trials were carried out in fishing grounds located at the entrance of the Çanakkale Strait, especially on the shores of the Gallipoli Peninsula where ...
